Cauea used language calculated to dispel popular
illusions. But the impatient and uncompromising
spirits who wished to make the crisis au occasion for
an appeal to arms would not wait the arrival of the
Ottoman envoy, and got up a rising on the day before
he landed. Blood flowed, and the movement—
encouraged by manifestations in the Archipelago
and in Greece itself assumed in the begin-
ning an alarming character. The new French
Minister of Foreign Affairs having been requested
by King George to visit Athens on his way from the
East did all that he could to allay the irritation.

Greece which inspire the French Government, the
Marquis de Moustier expressed his views to the
Hellenic Cabinet with the most friendly frankness.
These counsels were accepted with gratitude. The
agitation has now lost its gravity in the islands and
in the Hellenic provinces bordering upon Crete, and
the Cretans themselves appear to be less indisposed
than heretofore to respond to the conciliatory appeal
made to them by the Porte. The Ottoman Go-
vernrnet is moreover at this moment endeavouring
to solve pending questions concerning the interests
of the Christians. The affair of the Principalities
approaches a settlement, and the election of the
foreign prince called upon to govern them will very
shortly be confirmed by the Porte. The French
Government will thus witness the realisation of a
combination which it was the first to suggest in
1855 ; which it subsequently favoured during the
negotiations in Paris in 1858, and which it again
supported in the recent conferences at the com-
mencement of the present year.
