GREECE.

The following is the convention entered into be-
Aveen Lord Palmerston and N. Drouyin de L'huys
'or the settlement of the Greek affair :

" The Government of her Britannic Majesty and the
Government of his Hellenic Majesty being engaged in a
difference resulting from certain claims relative to
losses and injuries sustained by English and lonian
subjects in Greece, mentioned in the noto presented
by her Britannic Majesty's Minister on the 17th of Ja-
nuary, 1850, and the Government of the French Republic
having offered its good offices, which have been accepted on
both sides, by Mr. Wyse and M. Londos, named pleni-
potentiaries to that effect, being met at the Pirmus in the
presence of M. Louis Gros, French Plenipotentiary, have
agreed that, the said claims, having been duly examined,
shall be settled by an amicable arrangement, according
to the following conditions :
" No. 1. It is agreed that the sum of 8,5001., destined
to liquidate the above demands and indemnities, shall
be immediately placed by the Hellenic Government in
the hands of the English Minister at Athens, to be dis-
tributed by him to the different claimants.
" No. 2. Upon payment of the said sum by the Greek
Government, the Greek merchant ships, previously de-
tained by the English cruizers, shall be immediately
given up.
" No. 3. The Government of her Britannic Majesty
having complained of the arrest of an officer of the
Royal Navy and of sailors belonging to the crew of the
Fantome man-of-war, and the Government of his Hel-
lenic Majesty being desirous of showing its regret for
the misconsception which caused that arrest, it is agreed
that this complaint shall be considered as satisfied, by
moans of a letter which the Greek Minister for Foreign
Affairs will address for that object to the Minister of
Great Britain.

" No. 4. Upon receipt of that letter the Greek ships,
provisionally detained, shall bo immediately given up.
" No. 5. By means of the conditions laid down as
above mentioned, all the claims specified in the note
of the 17th of January, specified in the preamble of
the present convention, are declared extinct, with the
exception of. that of Signor Pacifico, concerning the
loss of certain documents relative :to the debts which
he had to substantiate against the Portuguese Go-
vernment. That portion being of a nature to require
ulterior inquiry, two arbitrators and a super-arbitra-
tor shall be named as soon as possible by M. Gras,
Mr. Wyse, and M. Londos to make these inquiries,
The Hellenic Government engages to pay to Signor
Pacifico a just indemnity, if it results from these inqui-
ries—a proof that the Portuguese Government admits
the principle of some of these claims, and only refuses
payment because Signor Pacifico cannot produce the
titles which have been carried of, or destroyed, when his
house was pillaged.
" No. 6. The proposals contained in the above arti-
cles shall be put in execution immediately after the sign-
ing of the present convention, without waiting for a ra-
tification.
" No. 7. The claim relative to the loan guaranteed by
the three Powers, and to the Islands of Sapienza nad
Cervi, are not included in the present arrangement."
