OFFICIAL COPY
OF 7HE CONFERENCE HELD AT LONDON, ON TUE 4TH or

JANUARY, IWO.

Present, the Plenipotentiaries of France, Great Britain, and Russia.
At the opening of the conference, the Plenipotentiaries of his Bri-
tannic Majesty and of hi. 3lost Catholic Majesty, expressed to the
Plenipotentiary of his Imperial Majesty their wish to be informed
in what point of view be considered the tenth article of the Treaty
recently signed at Adrianople between Russia and the Ottoman Em.
pare—an article which has respect to the affairs of Greece. The
Plenipotentiary of his Imperial Msjesty declared that the tenth
article of the treaty in question did not invalidate the rights of the
Allies of the Emperor, shackle the deliberations of the Ministers
assembled in conference at London, nor place any obstacles in the
way of the arrangements which the three Courts should by common
consent adjudge to be most useful, and the best adapted to circum.
stances. After this declaration, the Plenipotentiary of his Britannic
Majesty produced to the conference a joint dispatch, in which the
Ambassador. of Great Britain and France at Constantinople trans-
mitted a declaration of the Porte, dated 9th September, announcing'
" that the Porte having already adhered to the Treaty of London,
now promises and engages, In addition, in the presence of the
representatives of the powers, parties to the treaty aforesaid. to sub.
scribe entirely to all the determinations which the conference at
London may decide on relative to its execution." The reading of
this document caused a unanimous recognition of the obligation
which the alliance was under to proceed, in the first piece, to the
immediate establishment of an armistice b► land and sea between
the Turks and Greeks. It is resolved, in consequence, that the
Plenipotentiaries of the three Courts at Constantinople, their rest.
dents In Greece, and the admirals in the Archipelago, shall receive,
without delay, an order to demand and obtain from the contending
parties a prompt and entire Negation of hostilities.

To this effect instructions were agreed upon and issued to the
aforesaid Plenipotentiaries and Residents, and also to the three Ad-
to the re-establishment of peace between Russia and the Porte,
permitting the Russian Admiral to take part in the operations of his
colleagues of England and France. The first Resolutions being
agreed upon, the Members of the Conference, finding that the Otto-
man declarations placed them in the position of concerting such
measures as to them should appear preferable to adopt in the actual
state of akin, and being desirous of adding to the anterior disposi-
tions of the Alliance such ameliorations as might be mast conducive
to the assuring new pledges for the stability of the peace about
which they were employed, have, by common consent, issued the
following clauses:—
" First, Greece shall form an independent State, and shall enjoy
all the rights, political, administrative, and commercial, attached to
