MONT, FEBRUARY 11, 1830.
The undersigned received on the 4th of February the I,,et,tie,re
which the Plenipotentiaries of the three Courts, who signed `:
to
treaty of the 6th of July, 1827, did him the honour to write
him and by which, in virtue of the protocol of the 3d of Feb"
the hereditary,
igerstoovehriem,nitny of Greece.thenameo f the High Allied Powers,
The undersigned is profoundly-sensible how flattering to Win
is the honour which the Allied Powers are pleased to do him, in
choosing him to carry into execution their generous intentionS
with regard to the new Greek State. He hastens to accept the
useful and honourable career which the High Powers have
opened to him.
Nevertheless, he conceives, that he would ill return the con-
fidence which they are pleased to place in him, were he not,
in giving his adhesion to the protocols Nos. 1,2, and 3, of the
3d of February, 1830, to submit to them the following obser-
vations :-
1. That the Allied Powers who signed the treaty of the 6th If;
July, 1827, may be graciously pleased to grant to the new Or°
State a complete guarantee, as well as the promise of succour-
,
case of foreign aggression.
2. That the Greek inhabitants of the islands of Candia
Samos, who are to be restored to the Porte, may have their
civil and religious position fixed and ameliorated in such a man-
ner by the intercession of the High Powers, as well as by a bb„e,
ral application of the treaty of the 6th of July, that they
e
be secure from all vexation, and protected against all acts
culated to lead to an effusion of blood. On this subject, which
is purely in the interests of humanity, the undersigned still re-
serves to himself fuller communications with the Plenipoten-
tiaries of the august Sovereigns.
3. That it may be agreeable to the High Powers, that the new
frontier to the west should be fixed in such a manner as to
con-
tinue to ascend the left bank of the river Aspropotamos, as `"r
~i
as the limits laid down to the north as those of the canton
Vlochos, following from thence towards the east the natural
boundary formed by the mountains which join Mount (Eta-4
frontier indispensable for the security of this important portion
of the new state.
4. That the High Powers may be pleased to assure to the new
Greek state, until its own resources may have recovered thel.r,
vigour, pecuniary succours proportioned to its wants; since
is notorious that the Provisional Government has only been able
to exist up to the present time by means of the subsidies which
have been furnished to it by the generosity of the High Power''
5. That the said Powers may be pleased to grant an aid of
troops to the new Sovereign of Greece, until such time as it
shall have been able to organize those which will be necessary
the
him. That they may be pleased to agree with him as to
number of those troops, as well as with regard to the time which
they shall remain at his disposal, and to allow him some latitude:
should he see himself under the necessity of keeping them beyond
the appointed time. . _

The undersigned takes this occasion to offer to the Plenipotel,'
tiaries of the High Powers the expression of his must disti'
guished consideration.

COPY OF THE ANSWER OF THE PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT 01
GREECE TO THE NOTE OF THE RESIDENTS OF THE THREE COLTETA
DATED NAPOLI, APRIL 4 (16), 1830.
The Provisional Government of Greece has received the officid
note dated the Bth of April, which the residents of the Alliet
Courts have done it the honour to address to it.
It has meditated with deep attention upon the Act of the 3d d
February, as well as upon the explanatory observations wits
which the residents have accompanied their communication of
it. Deeply impressed with a sense of its duties, and with th!
sincerest desire to discharge them in such a manner as to justifi
both the confidence of its countrymen, and that with which tin
august. Allied Sovereigns are pleased to honour it, the Govern.
ment has endeavoured to appreciate the great and generous cle•
sign of the august founders of the new Greek State ; and in th!
second place, it has sought how it might be able to take its shar*
in accomplishing it, by conforming (as is required of it) to tht
act of the conference of London, and to the special resolution
which the residents have brought to its knowledge.
In declaring that Greece shall form an independent state, tht
Allied Powers have filled the measure of her legitimate wishes,
and of the numerous benefits which they have deigned to she 4
upon her.
Considerations of high political interest have doubtless in'
fluenced them in placing her destinies under the safeguard of
monarchical and hereditary Government, and in fixing their
choice upon a Prince who might become the organ of their gene-
rous intentions with respect to Greece, and thus give a pledge for
the stability of the work of peace, of which the act of the 3d of
February has laid the foundations.
This immense task is henceforward intrusted to Prince Leopold
of Coburg, and his Royal Highness, in accepting it, has given a
proof to the civilized world, that Greece also would find in the
eminent qualifications which distinguish him, and the noble sell'
thnents by which he is characterized, a pledge of that futurity
which is already assured to her by the rights which she has ae",
quired at the cost of her long misfortunes and of her sacrifices °'
blood, and by the institutions which her representatives have i 1
principle, adopted, and by which alone the enjoyment of that rl.l'
turity can be guaranteed to her.
Considered in this general point of view, the lot which 01
august Allied Sovereigns, in their wisdom and their benevolence,
destine for Greece, imposes everlastingly upon her the duty d
unlimited gratitude and confidence.
In proportion, however, to the earnest desire of the Covert?
ment to be the faithful interpreter of these sentiments, is the
sincere regret which it feels at its inability to acquit itself of thit
honourable mission in the forms prescribed to it by the acts of
the last National Congress.
The residents of the three Courts were present at Argos durini
the session of the month of August, and the first decree of tin
assembly must without doubt have attracted their attention.
They cannot, then, be unaware that the definitive arrangeinenti
which arc now in question ought to he previously submitted to
the Deputies Plenipotentiaries of the nation, andto be ratified b,
them.

The first step, therefore, which the Government ought to take.
would be to assemble them at the present moment; nor would it
have hesitated to comply with this regulation, if some of the 3'
tides of the act of the 3d of February, and the tenour of tht
note of the residents, were not calculated to subject the Deputies
Plenipotentiaries of the nation to the painful alternative, either
of disregarding the instructions which they have received from
the provinces, or of confining themselves to once more declaring
respectfully the wishes which they cannot but form, that the
magnanimous intentions of the Allied Courts may at length he
realized.

The orders, however, with which the residents are furna
• heti
admitting only of the strict execution of the arrangements agree"
upon, no other course remains for the Government of Grebe
than to declare to the residents, after having collected the opinion
of the Senate—

1. That the official notification of the armistice which exist;
de facto, is contained in the circular of which the enclosed is a
copy, which the Government addresses to the commanders of '"
forces by land and by sea.
2. That the evacuation by the Greek troops and squadrons, e
all the countries, places, and islands which, according to the act of the 3d of February, are not to form part of Greece, is a me -
sure in which it will be the duty of the Greek Government to
concur, so soon as the Turks shall retire from Attica and Eubce3;
It is moreover of urgent importance that the commissaries
of the three Powers should, by their presence on the spot, pre'
vent, or at least mitigate, the unfortunate consequences will
will probably result from the establishment of the new line °
boundary; and that the Government should be enabled to assure
the means of subsistence and a suitable lot to those numerous
families who will come to seek a home in the new State.
3. That the Mussulmans who are at present in Greece ellia
not only perfect security of person, but also a portion of the pro-
perties which, upon their application, the Government had rea-
dily caused to be restored to them.
With respect to the provisions, in general, of the acts of the
Conference of London, and to the special decisions mentioned in
the note of the residents, the Government reserves to itself to
place before the Sovereign Prince of Greece, together with t!

His Royal Highness is the depositary of the entire confidence
of the Allied Courts. They will not then refuse to entertain
with favour the steps which his Royal Highness may take in fa-
your of a country, the welfare of which he is called upon to wort
out under the auspices of a durable and solid peace.
The Provisional Government of Greece avails itself or this ftP'
portunity of offering to the residents of the three Allied CourtSt
accredited to it, the assurance of its high consideration.

CIRCULAR ADWIISSED DV THE PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT °I
GREECE TO THE COMMANDERS OF THE LAND AND SEA FORCES
The reports which we have successively received from re,'
show that hostilities between the Mussulmans and the Greer,:
have entirely ceased since last autumn, and that the Turkish
commanders have given evidence of the confidence with which
you inspire thorn.
you have received orders to hold friendly relations with them"
and the manner in which you have hitherto discharged this dui;
affbrds a guarantee that you will fulfil with scrupulous exactness
the more precise instructions which we now transmit to you. ,
The Allied Courts have resolved that the Greek Governineo:
and the Porte shall publish officially the armistice which exists
de facto.
On our part we conform to this decision, by directing you not
only to maintain the existing armistice, but to consi ler any in:
fraction of it by the troops under your comipand as an °dello;
piiiishable according to the rigour of the law.
the relations ofpeace and good neighbourhood with the Turks
being once established, you are enjoined to cultivate them, with'
out, however, suffering any violation of the sanatory regulations.
