At the Court of St James's, the 16th day of Nov., 1827.

PR,EnNT, •
The KING'S Most Excellent Majesty in Council.

Whereas the depredations which have for some time been
committed upon the commerce of his Majesty's subjects in
the Mediterranean seas by armed 'vessels, piratically cruiz-
ing under the Greek flag. have of late greatly increased,
and have been accompanied with acts of cruelty and barbarity,
which have rendered the navigation of those seas highly
perilous; and his Majesty has in vain applied for the pre,.
vention of these .outrages to the persons exercising the
powers of Government in Greece, who, however, willing,,
are unable effectually to repress such excesses, owing to.
the disturbed sta!-e. °Him country, and the disorder pre-
vailing' in the several islands of 'the Greek Archipelago,
and his Majesty is thereby laid under the necessity of pro-
viding for the same.

To that end, it has appeared to His Majesty that
the most -efficacious means by which the persons and lawful
commerce of His Majesty's subjects in the Mediterranean
seas can be adequately protected, until some Government
shall be established in Greece competent to put a
stop to all irregularities of the nature complained of,
will be to prevent, so far as possible, any armed vessels,
bearing the Greek flag, from putting to sea, such ships of
war only excepted as are belonging to or acting under the
orders of the persons exercising the powers of Government
in Greece.

For this purpose his Majesty is pleased to order and de-
clare, by and with the advice of his Privy Council, and it
is hereby ordered and declared, that instructions be issued
foi•thwith to his Majesty's Naval forces in the Me-
diterranean, authorising and directing them to seize
and send into some port belonging to- (or being under•,
the plwer and protection of) his Majesty, every armed
vessel which they shall meet with at sea under the
Greek flag, or fitted out and armed at any Greek port,
such :chips of war only excepted as are belonging to, or
acting under the orders of, the persons exercising the
powers of Government in Greece; and that they shall
duly provide, that all such vessels, with their crews
shall be safely detained in the ports.to which they may be
sent, until his Majesty's further pleasure respecting
them shall be my de known.

And with a. view to prevent, as much as, possible, any
rdships or inconveniences that may arise in the execution
this Order, as it may affect any Greek cruizer which; be-
ing :at sea at the time when this Order will take effect in the
Mediterranean, may not receive immediate notification there-
off it is further ordered that the Commanders of his 'Majesty's
ships, who may be charged with the execution of this Order,
414 in the event of their meeting with any armed ves-
sels at sea, bearing the Greek flag, that may be liable to
the operation of this Order, between the day upon which
the' Order shall be notified to the persons exercising the
.authorities of Government in Greece, and fifteen days
from the date thereof, furnish them with certified copies of
this Order, and warn them to proceed forwith to their
respective ports ; and that such armed vessels shall not be
detained until the expiration of the said fifteen days, unless
it shall appear that after such notification of the Order
and warning they shall not have complied therewith, or
shall have been guilty of plundering or searching any
ti ading vessel under the British flag : • .
And the Right Honourable the Lords Commissioners of
Ills Majesty's Treasury, His Majesty's Principal Secre-
taries of State, and His Royal Highness the Lord High
Admiral, are to give the necessary directions herein,
as to them respectively appertain. C. C. GREVILLE.
