Mr. Rangabe, the Grecian Minister, was not present. The conduct of the Greek government, in taking exception to the exclusion of its representative from the Conference, 1s condemned; for, it is argued, Greece assented to the propriety of a similar exclusion from the Con- gress of 1866, though the Sublime Porte was then represented in that body, and this is held as a prece- dent for the action of the present Conference. Opinion of the Turkish Government Regard- img the Paris Conference. 3 VIENNA, Jan. 13, 1869. A circular from the Sublime Porte to the European Powers justifying its recent action against Greece is published here. It says that the Turkish govern- ment does not expect that the Conference of Parts will arrive at any settlement.

Paris, Jan. 13—Evening. The exclusion of the Grecian Ambassador threat- ens to break up the Conference. It ts not considered probable that the Greek government will acquiesce, and its reply to the demand of its representative for instractions is not likely to prove favorable, in which case the Conference will in all probability adjourn indefinitely. In the meantime the plenipotentiaries have applied to their respective governments for fur- ther instructions. It is understood that Russia condemns the atti- tude which Greece has assumed toward the confer: ence. Confirmation of the Reported Capture of Cretan Officers. Lonvon, Jan. 18, 1969.

Havana, Jan. 13, 1569. The potice were recently tnformed that there was 4 secret depot of arms in a honse on Carmen street. They proceeded to the spot and found there 200 car- bines and revolvers and other weapons, together with ammunition, £0. On attempting to take possession of the arma yexter- day they were fired upon by the populace. A police- man and a soldier were killed and two celadors were Wounded, one mortally, The arms were finally taken away amd quiet was restored. The person Who led the attack on the police has been arrested. A steamer has arrived from Santiago de Cuba with important news. According to despatches received by the goverment, Villa Colre has been retaken by the Spanisn troops. OMcial accounts also represent that Count Valma- seda defeated the rebels at Sibancion, Cascorro and Guatmoro, He then marched on to Tunas and ef- fected a junction with the forces of Colonel Lono. The united forces had commenced to advance on Bayamo. A report from Manzanillo declares that Valmaseda has actually captured Bayamo. It is also reported that the revolutionary chieftains, Cespedes and Aguilera, were in the vicinity of Manzanillo and had offered to surrender to Valmaseda on the condition that their present rank in the Spanish army be guaranteed them. This ac- count ts discredited 28 incompatible with the reputed character of the men, and it is deemed improbable that their companions would permit such action. The official report of affairs in the interior are flatly contradicted by the advices privately recetved by friends of the insurgents of this city. Itis denied that Valmaseda has captured Rayamo; it is main- tained on the contrary that he has been defeated ‘with the loss of many men and part of his artillery and baggage train. The next steamer from Santiago will bring fuller news and is anxiously awaited, Satled to-day, steamer Juniata. q Sugar continues in aemand. Exchange is declining, + THE INDIAN WAR.
