Athena, May 31, 18-50.
I have read with extreme surprise, in the letter of M. le
General LAM*, Minister of Foreign Affairs in the French
republic, addressed to M. Depart de Lbnys, French ambas-
sador in London, dated Paris, the 14th of May, 1860, the
following
This =We consequence has resulted therefrom:
that at the moment when a convention negntiattd directly,
sad definitely agreed on between the cabinets of Paris
and London, was on the point of arriving at Athen', whore
already the essential banes of it were known, Graeae, at-
tacked afresh by the naval forces of Gnat Britain, In spite

should have been at a loss to account for the meaning of
this wasp, had it not been for another which I met in a
letter of the correspondent at Athens of the Times newt-
Met (Mr. O'Brien), under date of the tad of May, and
published in the Tinsels of the 13th iast , where the writer,
after giving what purports to be a copy of the convention
drawn up in London on the 18th of April, thus continues :
" When the French stenutrigate the Vanbao arrived at
the Posse on the 24•1 t of April, with a despatch for Baron
Gros !runs hit government, stating that the bases of the
Ours convention had been already entered juts by Lord
Palmerston, M. Drouyn de Lhuya and N. Bfunnow, M.
Gres wrote at once to Mr. Wyse, enrmunica.ing to him
the intelligenee he had received trona Paris, and b.iraing him
in the most earnest manner to suspend operations until he
had received further instructions from home."
These are grave and injurious chaps; they amount to
a formal muslin& that, though fully informed by Baron
Gros that a &Mines convention, signed by both govern-
ments, and ready fur signature and ra ifi•ation here, wee on
its way from London, and would probable arrive ty next
post ; and though urgently entreated by the Fr. nch nego-
tiator to wait even for that short period, I set all his repro.
senutione at Rough*, and took upon myself the err.oue
responsibility of employirg force, when free wee so ionifer
necessary, in order to extort haulier terms then tL9te which
I knew at the time had been agreed to by both powers in
London.

With the impression that such were the facts, in the mind
of O I Lahitte, I can hardly wonder at the tone of his
letter to M. Drool n de Limp, nor the manner in wl.ich its
rearing wss received by the French Assembly, offensive as
such conduct must have been had it occurred, to Greece, and
to *he French republ c.
But the facts are nut so, or rather the statements just re-
(erred to are directly contrary to d e facts.
It is true that the Vauban French steatmfrisate arrived
here on the 21th of April, with despatches .or Baron Gros,
and equally true, from the statement of Mr. O'Brien to Mr.
Griffiitt (whose letters on the sueject I hays the honour to
laciest) that there despatches conveyed to him the impor-
tant intelligence that a convention, its essential hoes of
which were made known, had teen arrecd upon in Louden
by the two power, and was already on its way to Athens,
and it Is gaits possible the' he may have communicated this
information. as soon as received, to the Greek government
and to the King— to M. Thonvenel, and for aught I know
to other membars of Vie corps diplomatique. But it is ee-
-1 rats, and emphatically untrue that /to mut.e any such
com-
muaira•ton to gar. On the 24th of April he wrote to me
three letters, copies of all which I have already had the ho-
sour to enclose to your lordship, and on referring to them
your lordship will find that though he therein informs me
that the Vaulter' brought him g sod intelligence from his own
government, he mikes no mention of a convention agreed
upon in London by both governments tring on ita way to
Athena, sad likely to arrive in a few day., still less of any
of the "essential banes" of the sew ; nor does he nee any
" energetic representations " to India fe me to await for a
few days longer its arrival. Os the contrary, the whole
oejeet and end of these letters was at direct variance with
such a commun'c tier. They urged me not to wait for a
convention which was coming out, but to refer for fresh in.
structiona, which that convention would have rendered alto-
gether unnecessary, and to which, hod I aces lad, they could
have answered no other purpose, nor tad my ()ober 'Bev,
than to embarrass, delry, and perhaps prevent, unless further
mod.fied, the acceptanco and execution of the convention by
the Greek governmenr. Ile aid not irk for the delay of a
few dsys only, but of nearly a whole mouth, for inch would
have been the time required before I cJull receive an answer
to this proposed application for fresh i structior.s.
Boron Gros made me no other commutrcation than these
three letters, tic ;ring the letter of 30. h Api: (inclesure in
No. 3 of papers prearnted on 17th of May), nor did I use
him after my last conference with him on board the In-
flexible (April 21st) until the day (May 1) when he dined at
my house in Athens with Vice-Admiral Sir William Parker
and other efficen, after the whole affair had been fully and
finally dosed.
Further, I had not the slightest intimation until after such
close of the existence or probable snivel of such a document
as the convention, nor can I for a moment believe that "its
bailee " rated by General Labitte " to have been already
known at Athens," were ever heard cf beyond the court,
government, and some ntemben of the corps diplomatiqu.,.
Had I had inch intimeticn or a suspicion to that effect,
I, in conjunction with Sir Wi!liam Parker, would of cows..
most willingly have continued to suspend coercive operr-
dons, and have been hippy to avail myself in a more formal
manner of the sanction already given by the French govern-
ment, by their signature of the treaty, to :Lc justice of our
demands on the Greek government.

(Estrao9. Athena, May 28,1350.
On looking ever the newspapers breught by this des%
pet (unfortunately after the departure of te-day's mail for
England), I was mush struck by the passive in General
Lehitte's letter recalling M. Dronyn de Lhuys from
London' which say.: This deplorable consequence has
resulted therefrom ; that at the moment when a conven-
tion negotiated directly, end eefinitively agreed on between
the cabinets of Paris and London, was en the point of
arriving at Athens, where already the essential bases
of n were known, Greece, attacked afresh by the
Naval forces of Great Britain, in spite of the energetic
remonstrances made by the French er.voy, was obliged, lo
order to (wipe complete ruin, to accept without discus-
don the clauses of an ultimatum intininly more rigo-
rous." But my astonishment was much greater on reading
the Midi of the 15th of May, the letter from "its own
Omen, indent" at Athena, dated the 2nd of May, in which,
stir gi a translation of the convention agreed to in
London AV Paris, he says When the French steam
frigate, the Vauban, arrived et the Pincus on the 24th of
