GREECE.

An Athenian paper of the 21st of February pub-
lishes the following protocol as having been signed at
London, on the 17th of November last, by Lord
Aberdeen, Count St. Aulaire, and Count Brunnow :
" The Minister for Foreign Affairs of her Britannic
Majesty opened the sitting, directing the attention of
the plenipotentiaries of France and Russia to the
mission with which the King of Bavaria had en-
trusted Prince Wallerstein. The plenipotentiaries,
with every respect for the natural feelings of the
King of Bavaria, and for the sacrifices made by that
Monarch during the Greek war of independence, as
well as for the immediate interest which he took in
the conclusion of the treaty of 1832, by which the
new kingdom was constituted, consider it their duty
to attach great weight to the oral communications
made to them by Prince Wallerstein on two points,
one of a legislative, and one of a political character.
With respect to the former, Prince Wallersteiu has
received instructions from his Sovereign, in conse-
quence of a wish expressed to his Majesty the King
of Bavaria by his Majesty the King of Greece, to call
on the Three Powers to assist with their advice the
labours of a national assembly, summoned by King
Otho, with a view to the establishment of a definite
Constitution for Greece. With respect to the second
point, Prince Wallerstein has put forward all the
political interests connected with the consolidation of
the Government established in Greece by the Three
Powers, parties to the conference. .
" As to the legislative labours, the plenipotentiaries
have come to the conclusion that no ground exists
for a discussion on this subject, the Three Powers
have already given to their representatives at Athens
such instructions as are necessary for their guidance.
The plenipotentiaries have deemed it right on this
point to refer to the commands of their respective
courts, with which Prince Wallerstein has been made
acquainted.
_ _ _

r‘ Respecting the political question, the plenipoten-
tiaries hastened to declare unanimously that the most
perfect agreement exists among their respective courts
for the consolidation of the Government established
in Greece by the treaty of the 7th of May, 1832, and
by the additional articles to the same, of the 20th of
April, 1833. Considering how important it is, that
the work of peace established by those treaties should
be consolidated as an important guarantee for the
tranquillity of the East, the Three Powers have on
this occasion again expressed their unanimous wish to
see Greece secure herself against all the evils of
anarchy, and to maintain the respect due to the
Monarchy, as well as the personal inviolability of the
Monarch called upon to reign over Greece.
" While they declare the unanimity of the Three
Powers upon this point, the plenipotentiaries have at
the same time announced their entire concurrence-on
two other interests which the Three Powers have
deemed it their especial duty to watch over :
" First, that Greece should remain strictly con-
fined within the limits drawn between the new State
and Turkey, in order that the inducement to internal
troubles in the Ottoman provinces, bordering on the
Greek territory, may be guarded against.
" Secondly, that Greece should not neglect the ful-
filment of the financial obligations which she has as-
sumed towards the Three Powers, in virtue of the
treaties of the 7th of May, 1832, and of the 14th of
September, 1843. The honour of the Greek nation
demands the punctual fulfilment of the obligations en-
tered into with the Three Powers, and of the duties
assumed by Greece on her admission into the list of
independent States. The Three Powers are satisfied
that this duty will be fulfilled in a manner to pre-
vent every attack on the maintenance of peace and,
order. The plenipotentiaries have determined to in-
troduce this declaration into the present protocol,
which Lord Aberdeen is commissioned to communi-
cate to the Bavarian Court, in reply to the overtures
of Prince Wallerstein."
