The Athens' correspondent of the Loiudon .Standard, under date of Wed- nesday, says:â€" '"ITiere ia great rejoic- ing over the rex'eipt of an official tele- frami from Pbarsaloi sayimg that the urks have Iwen repulsed and the Greeks hodd their positions after a three hours' tint tie. The despatch says Crown Prince Constantine and Prince Nicholas fought courageously in the froiot rank, risking their lives a hundred times, atnd they had an ova- tion from IhjE whole army when the fighting was ovpr. The Governmient has forwarded lo t hem its warmest con- gratulations, assuring thelm. they have celebrated their father's name to-day in th« most admirable manner. The King and the Cabinet have also ad- dressed a manifesto to the troops, con- gratulating th«m upctn their courage and patriotic devotion. "The iiublic is overioyed, and is al- ready forgetting earlier tdunders of the campaign. "A decisive iiattle is exx>ected at Phar.salos to-morrow, Thursday." THE FIGHT DESClUJiED. The Athens corredpondcnt of the Daily Telegraph, under date of Wed- nesday, says:â€" "The following is the official despatch from Major Pallis, Chief of the Staff of the Greek forces in Thessaly, describing the fight at Phnrsalos:â€" "The Turks attacked our advance posts at two o'clock. Since yesterday evening their movements had indicated an intention to cut off our left wing, and to-day they attacked our front. Our advance posts retreated, as tbey were fighting against very much superior nuniliers, and took up a posi- tion in front of our right wing. An artillery duel j'nsued along an exten- sive line. The eneimy's infantry ad- vanced in perfect order at three points, and in large numbers, but lh«y were speedily checked by our uifanlry. The respective looses are as yet unknown. The Crown Priiioe took a very active part in the comlial, and advanced with- in range of Ih â-  Turljiah fire., greatly in- spiring the tni-n. Prince Nichola-s was equally active with the ri*rht wing.and directed the fire of his battery against two Turkish batteries. His coolness greatly encouraged the troops. We (aittintain all our positions intact, and t lie engagement will certainly be con- linued to-morrow (Thursday). We calculate about 15,0t)0 Turks attacked our right wing. They rushed down the hill slopes in vast numlieirs. The ene- my was our superior in both artillery and cavalry, the calibre of their guns was larger, whilei their number was al- most doable ours. We had no cavalry because our only .pquadron has been tiued for scouting, and bad gone to Trikhala." " A FIERCE BLOW, There was a .striking feature in Fri- day's cavalry charge. Col. Mahmoud Hey was fij-ed upon by a (ireek officer, w-bosent four bullets from his revolver in the Jirection of the Turkish officer, Mahmoud Bey then galloped ahead of his men, and with one fierce blow with his sword completely severed the Greek officer's head from his body. IN FAVOUR OF INTERVENTION. A London corre^iondent cables as follows: â- â-  F^nglanfl, ac Mr. Curzon announced in the House of Commons to-duy, is again pressing tlie question of intervention, this time with success. It is beginning lo be recognized in St. Peteivlmig, Berlin and Vienna that tiut |M>liii>al friendship of hjigland and France has become a genuine factor in the situatiou, and its influence is al- rea<ly felt. "It is no secret th;it F>nglaiid is in tavour of stopping war iuiiiie<liately at any cost, and of restoring the status quo ante belluni in every respect. FraniM? practically endortte-s the i)»licy of Lord Siilisbury. "Th« inijKrespion grcrwB stronger in all quarters that the submiasion of GTvece to Turkey and the (nnverHwiJI soon lie furtha'oming. Tt is not nxjwct- ed to take tihe fbnn of suing for{>eiu-e or mediation, the latter least of all, for Greek feeling is more bitter against the c»nc6rt bf Eurojw than against Tur- key.

Tlie 'J'urkisdi aimy is bivouacked ini the eighty villiiges surrounding Phar- .salo') captured from the Greek.s. Tih« liatlle began at nine o'clock in the morning. After ^diirmislhes between the advance posts of the opposing forces t^lie Greek/ artillery opened fire with great precision. ,Uut the Turk.'* pushed forward expo.sing themselves to the enemy's fire with the greatest .sangfroid. 'Phe l»reeik» then made a fatal error in leaving the command- ing ^lositions which they occupied and retiring upon the plain, which was commanded on all points by our bat- teries, whicJi were brought into action so soon as the Greeks left the hills. The scene which followed was l)oth in- teresting and cruel. The Greeks from all parts of the plain ,were converging towards a stone bridge cro.ssing the river, whiah ^vas the only mean.s of get- ting over. The masa of humanity at this point wius k'onstantly growing when the Turkish artillery began. The Turks obtained the exact range of the enemy, and Khell after sfhell fell and exploded in the midst of the fugitives. The havoc created by the shrapnel shots was terrible. Gradually, how- ever, through this decrimating fire, a greater part of the Greeks traversed The river. The Turks, who were then covering til*- plain like hees, met with a strong resistance while attacking Vaslli, wliiere the Greelcs, from hidden posi- tions, opened a furious fire. But the Turfcs a<ivan<;ed with marvellous te- merity, and captured the village, not t>y gunshots, but by purely the moral elfex;t of the fear which their .splendid insouciance in the advance inspired in the enemy. Owing to the fact that it was not in- tended to commence the decisive en- gagement, until Friday, the Turkish division intended to take the enemy in flank only arrived half an hour be- fore the close of the combat, having marched thirty miles. The artillery played a leading part in the fighting, although the Greek guns, while they opened well, ended t>adly, while ours were served even better thaji usual. The Turkish attack upon Valisi was made without any previous plan. The men were ordered to capture the place, and they advanced quietly, shooting as tliough hunting. The Greeks maintain- ed a withering fire. I saw a Turk wounded in the leg advancing to the attack on all fours. â- )iiring the doij- the Turks captured a mountain liattery and eig'hteen' iEul<«, a great quantity of ammuni- tion nnd provisions, and the personal effe<."t8 of the Greek Princes. Crown Prince Constantine and his brother. Prince Nicholas. SLAUGHTERING THE GREEKS. The Greeks, in retiring a^^roes the plain towards the town, suffered ter- riible loss from the murderous fire of the TurkJAih artillery. Thiring the re- treat the Greeks had to cross the river by a single bridge, i As the GreeJt troops were massed at that point, the Turkish artillery, getting the exact rajige, wrough<t fearful havoc among the enemy. J^ervertheless, the Greeks fought (iesperutely until nightfall. Eighty of t^e surrounding village-i were also occupied by the Tuirka. wiTio cap- tured araountain battery and If mules. a. great quantity of auiinunilion and pcrovisions, and the person.il effects of the Greek princes^ Crown Prince Con- stantine and Prince Nicholas. i IT LOOKS JJKE TROUBLE.

A qpecial despatch from Athena as- serts that the losses of the Greeks \<a the fighting at Velestino and Pharsa- los were certainly one thousand kilU e<l and wounded, while the Turks lost fully six thousand killed and wounded. WEDNESDAY'S FIGHTING. The London Daily Mail's correspon- dent with the Turkish forces at Phar- salos, lelegraphing Thursday morning, says: " Yesterday's (Wednesday) bat- tle was most sublime as a spectacle, and the most decisive of the entire war. It was not intended at the beginning that the fight should L>e a regular pitched engagement, but on the arrival of Ed- hem Pasha at the outposts a furious tiring began. The weather was cool and the sky somewhat cloudy, after a thunderstorm. The ivillage of Phar- salos could be seen huddled as it were under a line of low-peaked hills. High- er and round about were black hills rising behind others, while between this and the village ran asmall stream known to the ancients as the Kaipeu^ crossed by a bridge. At the railway, between the stream and the village, were Greeks in an excellent position, well defended by earthworks. Their advance line consisled of two brigades and their reserve of two half brigades, altogether about c20,000 men. A» against these weire 00,008 Turks. ' The artillery began the engage- ment the Greek practice being much l>etter tiuiu usual, but after atwnt two hours they began to retire across the river. 'This was a great mistake, lus they were ihus enclosed between the river and the mountains with no room to deploy. The sight was superb. Ia many cases the Greeks fought with the courage of despair. Cireat black mase>eti forming the rear guard to hold the boridge, covered the whole rich green plain, and the enduranca and dash of the Turks were maipii- ficent, too. I reached the battlefield witli a regiment whose men imme- diately began to run forward, danc- ing under fire, and shouting like chil- dren when they saw the enemy. Th« Greeks repulsed them vigorously, an4 followed up the repulse. "The Turks had lormed in a semi- circle of thund<\ring batteries and crackling;- battalion*.
