Were MI communications relating to tlie interrup-
tions of the Greek blockades ?
I'he Earl of ABERDEEN was desirous of fur-
nishing every possible information on this subject.
It was not easy to satisfy all parties. While some

required additional inforniretion, others complained
that too many papers had already been furnished ;
and one Noble Baron in particular had actually ac-
cused them of emptying their trunks on the table
of the House. He had already said, that the only
difficulty as to producing these papers was this—
that in substance, all the important points they con-

tained where comprised in the Protocols drawn up
at London. The Protocol of the 22d March, 1829,

comprised all that was material upon the subject of
the boundary. He had na the least objection to
produce these papers in their more extended form;
and when they were produced, the Noble Marquis
would find that they did cmlnacc the discussions
entered into by the Plenipotentiaries with the Greek
Govetnment, upon the question of the line of
boundary. Virtually they were precisely the same
as those now on the table of the House, only that

they entered more fully into details. The Noble
Marquis was mistaken in supposing that in the
papers now on the table, there was no -allusion to
this subject ; for it was expressly said, that what
WAS there proposed to the Porte, was in compliance
with the wish of the Plenipotentiaries assembled at
Poros. With regard to the blockade, the Noble
Marquis would find in the papers about to be pr( -
sented, the orders that had been given ; and if the
statement of the execution of those orders was dt-

sired, he should 11;i object to produce it. The
papers would be most voluminous.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE certainly
thought it most desirable that the House should be
in posiession of the whole grounds on which the
Porte had acted, and of the communication between
it and the Greek Government, and, above all, be-
twe•n the Plenipotentiaries,
The Earl of ABERDEEN should object to pro-
duce the whole of the negociations between these
various parties, for they related to a variety of topics
differing materially from those on which the Noble
Marquis required information. They were very
voluminous—they were all in French, and for the
purposes of the House they must be translated.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY took that
opportunity of referring to the letters which had
passed between the Noble Earl, the Foreign Secre-
tary, and Prince Leopold. In the first punted letter
of the Noble Lord be observes to his Royal High-
ness--" However these sentiments may accord with

the political objects of persons in this country, by
whom your Royal Highness may have been advised,
I.think your Royal Highness cannot fail to perceive,
upon reflection, how little such a course could con-
'tribute to the real dignity and consistency of your
thin character." Surely there must have been some
previous communications between the Noble Earl
and Prince Leopold, before the former could have
ventured to allude to the political advisers of his
Royal Highness. If there had been a little more of
the sucTiier in mods in these communications there
would not have been such allusions. He wished to
know -whether there had been any, and what pre-
vious et crespondence as to the alteration of the pre-
existing arrangement..
The-Earl of ABERDEEN scarcely knew what
answer to make to the Noble Marquis's observations.
He would, however, answer the question that had

been. put. There had been no previous correspon-
dence. If the Noble Marquis wished to go into a
discussion upon the propriety of his conduct, he
should be perfectly ready to meet it, provided due
notice were given him of it.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY could not
help thinking that if there had been no previous
correspondence, the expression he had referred to
was uncalled for, arid therefore improper.
The motion of the Earl of CARLISLE, fer
copies of any communications addressed by the
Porte to the Plenipotentiaries, expressing a desire
for the reduction of. the Boundary of the Greek
State, as fixed in :March, 1829, was then agreed to.
Lord HOLLAND could assure the Noble Se-
cretary opposite, that he laboured under a great mis-
take, if he supposed that he (Lcrd Holland) had
blamed the Ministers for giving too much informa-
tion. On the contrary, he was now about to ask
for more. It was true that he had used the ex-

pression about emptying the trunks; but that referred
to the little value of the documents placed upon the
table, not to the unnecessarily large quantity of
them. There were two points on which he wished
for information, and on which that now furnished
was, in his opinion, most imperfect. The first point
related chiefly to the matter treated of in the-papers
marked C, which referred to the blockade of the
Dardanelles, and among the rest, to the raising of
the Greek Blockades. It appeared that a letter had
been written by Lord Aberdeen upon the 29th of
April, 1829, expressly with reference to that sub-
ject. In that letter, which the Noble Lord directed
to the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, he
stated that the Greeks would not be allowed to
exercise their blockades beyond a certain extent.—
The French Charge d'Affaires had complained of
this order, had remonstrated upon it, and the
French Government had employed, as be believed,
terms of remonstrance, if not of menace, and a
discussion had ensued upon it which ended unfa-
vourably for this Government. An explanation took
place at Paris, and after some time had been con-
sumed, some part of the objectionable matter had
been given up. He wanted to know what had been
the conduct of our Government, and what the effect
of the remonstrance on the part of France. He
thought the Noble Earl ought to furnish the
House with information upon the subject. The
other point on which he wished for information wa,
of great exten', and was more important in -its
nature—it related to the Isle of Candia. The in,
formation furnished with respect to Candia Was most
imperfect, and not only was it imperfect, but, so fin-
as it went, it was in contradiction—in almost direct
opposition—to what had been several times stated
in that House. They had heard from the other side
of the House many statements relative to the con-
dition of the people of Candia, and to the state or
that Island ; but either those statements were in-
correct, or the information furnished by these papers
could not be depended on. The Noble Duke, who
was not now in his place, had said, that if Candia
was at all events to form a part of the stew Greek
State, The Allies must conquer it from the Turks,
who were now in full possession of it. The Noble
SeCretary differed a little from this, for he acknow-
ledged not only that it was not in a tram-111H state,
but that it was much disturbed ; and he attributed
the disturbances to the effect of the confederacy upon
the Greeks. Candia, from the papers now on the
table, appeared to have been for some time much
disturbed ; and it further appeared, that when that
Gallant Admiral, to whom justice had not yet been
done, and who had displayed as much ability as a
negociator as he had exhibited gallantry and spirit
and naval skill as a commander—that when that
Gallant Admiral had been engaged in negociations
with the Pacha of Egypt, respecting the return of
the Greek prisoners, the Pacha had answered, that
no captives had been made by his troops since the
battle of Navarin, and that of the 1,900 prisoners
who had been taken before that time 1,200 were
Candiots—a fact which spoke strongly in proof of the
attempts made by the inhabitants of Caudle to
free themselves from the Turkish yoke. Candia
itself had been blockaded by the Allied and
the British naval force, and these blockades
had been raised. He wished to see the orders
under which these blockades had been instituted,
and under which they had been raised. There was
one other little question on which he wished to make
an observation, although, perhaps, it was but of little
importance. One of the objections made by the
Noble Earl to putting these papers on the table of
the House was, that they must be translated. He
wished to ask that Noble Earl, whether the same
translator was to be employed on these, as on the
former papers?_ Their Lordships must know that
it had been again and again stated in that Houie,
that his Russian Majesty had agreed to waive his
sightti al U iniligerelli in tho Mediterranean, and
