for their countrymen and fellow.christians ? Or is it more likely
that the Candiotes, with the accomplishment of the Greek cause be.
fore their eyes, should forget that they are Greeks themselves ? But
what am Ito infer from these propositions for the entire pacifica-
tion of Candle, a point of the greatest moment to the Greek Go.
vcrnment ? Certainly not grounds of confidence that its inhabi.
tents will peaceably return under the Turkish dominion. And
what mode of pacification will then remain ? In my opinion no.
thing but the force of arms ; as, to effect a peaceable emigration of
so numerous a population, I take to be wholly impracticable. But
in case force of arms be the only practicable mode of pacifying
Candia, what must Ibe prepared for ? That probably at the time
when I am going out to govern Greece in consequence of a certain
treaty, events may happen which will make it appear, to the
Greeks at least, that that same treaty sanctions the bloodshed and
anurder if their brethren. I need not dwell on what, in such a
AP?, the feelings of the Greeks, an ignorant passionate people,
would necessarily become towards rue a nor will I fatigue your
Grace by hinting the innumerable incidents which may arise out
of these difficulties, and over which I can have no eontroul; but
which, notwithstanding, may commit me with the Powers, and
brand my character in the eyes of Europe. If therefore your
Grace's resolutions about Candies cannot be shaken, I shall, in cane
of my adhesion to the protocol, to guard in some degree against the
enumerated collisions, require something more than the mere pub.
lication of a Turkish amnesty. I should beg that the Powers them.
selves will come to such solemn engagements, as will put the secu-
rity of the (*reeks, remaining under the Porte, not only beyond
doubt, but will make the infringement of the amnesty on the part
of the Turks impossible. And I should further berg that the pow.
era will seize this opportunity to obtain an improved civil condition
for the Greek inhabitants of Candia and Samos, for which purpose
the provisions of the second article of the treaty of the Gth July
furnish to them ample means.

If Lord Aberdeen has endeavoured to turn it to my prejudice,
that from mere newspaper information I must have been prepared
for the exclusion of Candia, I was, from all the information I could
collect on that subject, certainly not prepared to find the projected
north-western boundaries of the new State such as they appear,
since I have had opportunity of examining the map annexed to the
protocol. In my opinion these boundaries are, in a military point.
of view, so weak and insecure, that I beg your Grace to be prepared
to hear to-morrow, in my conference with your Grime, the suongest
objections against their final adoption.

It will be on a satisfactory answer to these queries and doubts
only, that I can come to a final resolution.
If, in the progress of these transactions, my nomination be corn.
municated to the Greeks, I should ask it as a favour that the Powers
will grant them the permission to object to my person, should they
feelinclined to do so.
It occurs, finally, to me, that the third paragraph of the protocol
might hereafter, by some of the Powers, be understood in one sense
only. To make, therefore, future misunderstandings on this head
impossible, I beg to state to your Grace distinctly, that I do con.
strue the sense of this paragraph to be,—that I shall be at full
liberty to give or not to give such institutions, as compatible with
a monarchy, I shall in time find necessary for the welfare of the
new state.

I cannot conclude without directing your Grace's attention to the
uneasy position lam in. To avoid jealousies and their attending
peplexities, I have abstained till now from consulting any body.
I am, however, fully sensible of my own inadequacy to grapple
with an object of such vital importance to the happiness of a whole
people, as well as to myself. But I shall not ask advice of any per.
son before I have received your Grace's answer to this letter, and be.
fore I have named to your Grace the individual by whose judgment
I should like to be assisted.

With sentiments of the highest esteem, I remain, &e.

Sir,—Since 1 had the honour of attending your Royal Highness
this morning, 1 have considered the several points adverted to in
your Royal Highness's letter of yesterday, upon which your Royal
Highness desired to have my opinion.
I trust that the answers contained in the enclosed memorandum
will be satisfactory to your Royal Highness, and sill enable your
Royal Highness to give your final answer on the propositions sub.
mitted to your Royal Highness by the Ministers of the Sovereigns,
parties to the treaty of July, 1827, assembled in conference.-1 have

I cannot conceive that any small addition to the districts which
are proposed to constitute the new Greek state, would greatly im-
prove its finances.
I conclude that the further points upon which his Royal High-
ness requires information, are enumerated under the eight heads
which follow ; and in the last paragraphs of his letter.

the conditions therein stated.

There must be a treaty between the three powers and the Porte;
and possibly a treaty with the Prince Sovereign of Greece may like-
wise be necessary, in order to execute this arrangement.
But I cannot undertake to say that this treaty will contain any
thing that is not now found in the protocol, excepting a general
guarantee.

In its future relations friendly neighbourhood ; and to pronorte
with the Greek state? the inttrnal peace, happiness, and prosperity
of Greece, and all the just object, of the Prince Sovereign.
His Royal Highness may rely upon it, that the King's set vants
of this day do not act from the personal motives and feelings int
puted to them by their opponents. But even if it is supposed that
those now lumoured by his Majtsty with his confidence could at.
misconduct themselves, he may rely upon it that the permanent po.
bey of this country towards Greece must be Iri.ndly, it Greece
should be really independent, and conduct herself as an independent
power.
In respect to Candia, his Royal Iliglicess's letter embraces [so
objects—first, the possession; mat, the pacifica"on of that island.
In regard to the first, the Sovertigns, pardts t 3 the treaty of the
ath July, determined by the protocol of t' e 221 of kluch, 11129,
that they would not demand the cession of it from the Porte. Upon
the second point, the easiest way of con i!g to a conclusion is, to
exclude front the discussion all harsh terms, such as " force ot
arnrt," " shedding of blood," and " murder."
If %is Koyal Highness will be pleased to peruse the der.tus ct ice

If Candia is to continue to be a Turkish is"•• '.•11, it is neccs•
suy that the inhabitants of the Islandt ',Nether Turkish or Greek,
should submit themselves to the Turkish Government, and that the
Turkish Government should he there supreme, and without inter.
ference of any other authority whatever.
Precaution has already been taken to prevent acts of revenge fur
what has gone by ; sad good offices will not be wanting to prevent
any eruct exercise of authority. But this country cannot undertake
to exercise a control over Turkish authority in Candle; nor can it
consider the Pane as an independent Power in that island, if such
control is exatised by any other Power whatever.
I conceive that his Royal Highness has construed correctly t 1..•
third paragraph of the protocol. The three Powers do not tate upon
them to define what shall be the institutions compatible with .;
monarchy, by which the Greeks are to be governed.
