THE ALLEGED ATROCITIES BY EPIROT INSURGENTS.

[To Tile EDITOR or roe “Eescesroe."1 SIR; I am sorry to see, from your issue of the 18th inst., that my letter contradicting the alleged atrocities by Epirots was addressed to your honourable journal as to one of those which had published the unverified stories complained of. This was done inadvertently in the hurry of posting the circular letter in question, and I hope you will accept this explanation as confirming the high esteem in which the Spectator is justly held for its scrupulousness and fair-mindedness in dealing with news from abroad.—I have the honour to be Sir, your obedient Servant, J. GENNADTUB. [We are obliged by the courteous explanation of his Excellency the Greek Minister. —En. Spectator.]
