SETTLEMENT OF THE GREEK
QUESTION.

OFFICIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
LETTER FROM BARON GROS TO M. LONDOS, DATED

APRIL 23.
"The undersigned Minister Plenipotentiary, charged
to interpose the good offices of France in bringing to
a friendly termination the difference at present exist-
ing between Greece and England, has the honour to
inform his Excellency, M. Londos, his Hellenic Ma-
jesty's Minister for Foreign Affairs, that, finding him-
self obliged to wait for fresh instructions from his
Government, he considers it his duty to abstain from
further official intervention in those questions which
required the exercise of his good offices.
"The undersigned having hastened to make the
same communication to his Excellency the British
Minister, begging of him at the same time to main-
tain the status quo until the Government of her Bri-
tannic Majesty should have time to come to a proper
determination on that subjec, he has this day received
from the Right Hon. Thomas Wyse a reply, which it
is his unpleasant duty to communicate to the Go-
vernment of his Hellenic Majesty. The Minister of
England expressed to the undersigned the deep re-
gret he felt at being unable to accede to his wishes,
as his instructions did not permit him to
maintain the status quo until he had commis-
municated with his Court on the present posture of
affairs, and that it was with great pain that he gave
him to understand, at the same time, the unpleasant
duty he was about to perform, namely to make known
to the Commander-in-Chief of her Majesty's squadron
that he must put into execution the necessary mea-
sures for obtaining the satisfaction demanded by her
Britannic Majesty's Government.
"It is with sentiments of profound grief that the
undersigned makes a communication of this nature to
his Excellency his Hellenic Majesty's Minister for
Foreign Affairs, and he begs M. Londos to accept, &c.
" L. GROS."
On the 26th M. Londos wrote to Mr. Wyse for his
ultimatum, and received the following reply :
" The undersigned Minister Plenipotentiary of her
Britannic Majesty to the King of Greece has just re-
ceived the letter of M. Londos in which he requests
to he informed of the conditions necessary to satisfy
all the demands contained in the note of the under-
signed, dated the 17th January last. The under-
signed hastens to comply with this request, and M.
Londos will doubtless remark that the un-
dersigned has done everything in his power
to render these conditions as acceptable as
possible to the Government of his Hellenic
Majesty. As a reparation for the outrages committed
at Petra, towards the navy of her Britannic Majesty,
the undersigned demands that the Minister of Fo-
reign Affairs of his Hellenic Majesty should address
to him an official letter, to express to the British Go-
vernment the great regret felt by that of his Hellenic
Majesty on the subject of the affair of the boat of the
Phantom, and also to blame the conduct of his agents
and his authorities on that occasion. The under-
signed will accept the sum of 180,068dr. 49 as
complete satisfaction for pecuniary claims, excepting
that part of those of M. Pacifico relating to
his claims on Portugal. M. Londos will remark that
the compensations on the subject of the pillage of the
ships at Salcina, of four lonians ill-treated at Patras
and at Pyrgos, and those demanded for the personal
insults experienced by M. Pacifico on the occasion of
the pillage of his house, consist of the autos speci-
fied in previous notes, and cannot now be discussed.
The sum of 180,068dr. 49 is made up as follows :-
30,000dr. for M. Finlay, including in-
terest to April 4, 1850
500/. to M. Pacifico, with interest at 12
per cent., from 12th March, 1848

demnity), to April 4, 1850 ...... ..•

Dr. 180,068 49
111. Londos will remark that on the only article which
can admit of any reduction, that is to say the loses of
M. Pacifico, a considerable diminution (more than a
third of the total sum) has been made on an account pre •

seated by that gentleman. It has required all my
efforts to induce M. Pacifico to accept the sum
above specified. I was led to make these efforts by
the strong desire felt by the British Government not
to demand anything but what was perfectly just. As
it is difficult to ascertain in Greece the exact value of
the losses sustained by M. Pacifico, in consequence of
the destruction of the papers relative to his claim on
Portugal, that part of his claims is not comprised in
the sum above-mentioned ; but the undersigned will be
satisfied if the Greek Government will, at the same
time, and to add to that sum, place in his hands (in
the quality of Minister Plenipotentiary of her Bri-
tannic Majesty) another sum of 150,000 dracb., or
securities for such a sum. The Government of her
Britannic Majesty and that of his Hellenic Majesty
will immediately cause an investigation to be made
to ascertain the sums which are to be recognized due
to M. Pacifico by the Portuguese Government, but
of which M. Pacifico could not receive payment, in
consequence of the destruction of his papers. The
investigation will be terminated within a given time,
and it it results that M. Pacifico is entitled to claim a
sruetmurnleesds thtaon
the Greek
Government. If, on, the surplus will be then
the contrary, M. Pacifico has a right to a
greater sum than the 150,000 dr., the Greek
Government will then have to make up the dif-
ference. The undersigned demands also that the
Greek Government shall formally engage, not to ad-
dress any demand, nor to support those of third
parties against the Government of her Britannic Ma-
jesty on the subject of the losces and damage accruing
from the measures adopted by the squadron of her
Majesty on this occasion. The undersigned does not
doubt that the Government of his Hellenic Majesty
will respond to the frank manner with which be has,
without delay, and without negotiation, laid before
the Greek Government the most favourable conditions
to which he can consent. The conditions are offered
in the firm hope that the Greek Government appre-
ciating the moderation shown by Great Britain, will
at once place the undersigned in a condition to deliver
the Greek commerce from the coercive measures which
at present press on it. But the undersigned thinks
it necessary positively to declare that the advantages
offered at this moment are only made on the condi-
tions which have been proposed, and that if some de-
lay should be manifested in accepting the conditions
the Greek Government must not be surprised to see
the concessions made on this moment withdrawn at a
later period.

51. LONDOS TO MR. WISE.
" Athens, April 27.
" The undersigned Minister of his Majesty the
King of Greece hastens to reply to the note which
the Hon. Mr. Wyse did him the honour to address to
him under yesterday's date. The King's Govern-
ment accepts all the conditions therein laid down, re-
marking only that amongst these conditions there are
some of a pecuniary nature, which to be fully carried
out require a certain time and legal formalities. The
undersigned undertakes to arrange them as soon as
possible, and he hopes to succeed in the course of to-
day or to-morrow. In the meantime, and waiting for
the communications, the undersigned expresses a con-
fident hope that the Hon. T. "Wyse will take the ne-
cessary measures to put a stop from this moment to
the sufferings and losses which weigh upon commerce
and navigation, in consequence of the removal of
coercive measures in the port of the Piraeus and in the
other ports of the kingdom."
MR. WYSE TO M. LONDOS.
" Bay of Salmaine, 27th April.
" The undersigned, Minister Plenipotentiary to the
King of Greece, has the honour to acknowledge the
receipt of the note in which M. Londos, Minister of
Foreign Affairs to his Majesty, this day gives notice
that the Government of his Majesty agrees to all the
conditions laid down in the note from the under-
signed, under yesterday's date. In consequence of
the note of M. Londos, the embargo laid on the Piraeus
was immediately ordered to be raised by a signal
from the Admiral's vessel ; from this moment the
undersigned has reason to hope that a satisfactory
arrangement may be easily concluded, Vice-Admiral
Sir W. Parker having countermanded the orders for
the blocade of the other ports of Greece. The under-
signed, in the hope that the prompt fulfilment on the
part of the Greek Government of the remaining forma-
lities will enable him to order Vice-Admiral Sir W.
Parker to release the vessels detained, and to resume
those friendly relations which the Government of her
Britannic Majesty wishes to maintain towards the
King of Greece."
Here follows a note of M. Londos to Mr. Wyse,
expressing the regret of his Government relative to
the arrest of an officer of her Majesty's ship Phan-
tom, and pronouncing the censure of the Greek Go.
vernment upon the persons who committed that out-
rage. The following is from M. Londos to Mr. Wyse,
dated the 27th :
"The undersigned has the honour to transmit to
the lion. Thomas Wyse a Treasury bill at sight for
330,068 drachmas to meet the pecuniary demands
contained in the note of her British Majesty's Minis-
ter. Of this sum 150,000 drachmas are given as a
guarantee to be restored to the Greek Government,
or augmented according to the result of the investiga-
tion by the two Governments as to the injury caused
to M. Pacifico by the destruction of the papers rela-
tive to his demands on the Portuguese Treasury.
The Greek Government binds itself formally not to
make or support any claim against the Government
of her Britannic Majesty on account of losses or in-
juries arising from the coercive measures exercised
by the British squadron in this affair."
The following circular was issued by the Greek
Minister of the Interior
"To the Nomarchs (Prefects) and Eparchs.—You
have learned, without doubt, by private letters and by
the journals, the resumption of hostilities on the part
of the English fleet. The Government, gentlemen,
considering that the interests of the country com-
manded it to put an end to the unfortunate difference,
immediately applied itself to the removal of the ex-
isting difficulties. I have, therefore, to announce to
you that everything has been arranged between the
British and Greek Governments, and that coercive
measures have ceased, and will not be resumed."
The following is the circular of Mr. Green, the
British Consul, communicating the cessation of the
embargo to his colleagues
" ATHENS, APRIL 27, 1850.
am instructed by her Majesty's Minister
Plenipotentiary to his Majesty the King of Greece to
inform you that his Hellenic Majesty's Secretary of
State for Foreign Affairs has officially announced to
him that the Greek Government accepts all the con-
ditions laid down by
him for the satisfaction of all
the demands of her Majesty's Government ; and that,
immediately on the receipt of this announcement,
Majesty's Minister Plenipoten-
Vice-Adiniral Sir William Parker ordered, by signal
from the flag-ship, that the embargo at the Pirams
should be taken off.
