THE AFFAIRS OF GREECE.

Report of the Dragomans of France, Great Britian, and Ramis, of
their Conference with the Reis Effendi, on the 30th of October,
1827.

The undersigned, in consequence of the joint instruction, dated
the 29th, from the liepresentativts of France, Great Britain, and
Russia, having yestertley presented themselves to the Porte, without
being able to see the Reis F.ffendi, on account of the lateness of the
bout, again waited on that 111inisttr to-day, who gave them en au-
dience in hie secret cabinet.

Frailchini said that he was the bearer of a message, in the
name of the Representatives of the Allied Power&
What dillies ?" said the Reis Effendi ; " we do not know
them."

The Allies," answered M. Franchini, " are Great Britain,
France, anu Kusbia."

His Excellency then listened, with the moat profound attention,
and with the utmost calmness, to the whole instruction.
At the passage, " Thus has been realised the resolution which
the Representatives notified to the Porte," the Minister observed,
that nothing had ever been notified to him, excepting assurances
that no act on the part of the three Powers should interrupt the
friendship which existed. •
M. Desgranges observed that it had been announced to the
Reis Effendi that the operations of the Ottoman fleet would be
prevented by force. At the end of the first of the three ques.
tions, his Excellency suffered these words to escap,! him, "Truly,
this is very amusing." He thew desired ill. Franchini to proceed.
The Reis Effendi did not again interrupt him. These were his
replies:-
1. Whatever may be the answer retuned to Ibrahim Paella by
the Sublime Porte, you have no right to interrogate us on that score.
That concerns no one but Ibrahim Paella and us,—let every one
mind his own business. When your Governments give orders to
their commanders, do we ask you what those orders are: Our
commanders and your commanders arc officers charged with the
execution of the instructions of their courts. The Porte has not
given powers to Ibrahim Pacha to sign any convention. That Vizir
is commanded to employ all his forces, and every means at his dis.
posal, to enforce submission on the rebellious Rayss, and to reduce
them to obedience.

2. We arc ignorant of what has taken place between our fleets
and yours. NI hen a woman is with child, which of you can tell
whether she will bring forth a boy or a girl ? Knowing nothing,
we can say nothing.
3. The Sublime Porte has always declared that it will never ad.
mit the interference of others in its affairs. The Sublime Porte
does not alter its resolutions; and, as it has already declared, so it
still declares, that, till the day of judgment, it will refuse to admit
of any foreign interference. l repeat, we are ignorant of what has
taken place between our fleets ; and, when a woman is with child,
we must await her lying.in, to ascertain whether she will give birth
to a boy or a girl. It would be impossible that now, when, accord.
ing to your repeated assurances, the Powers desire the maintenance
of peace, we should presume that any thing would be likely to tlis.
turb our friendship. In a word, the Sublime Porte has no new
answer to give you.
In the last place, with respect to the declaration of their Excel.
lencies the Repreaentatites, as to their resolution in the event of an
equivocal answer on the part of the Reis Effendi, his Excellency
said, " The representatives can regulate their concerns in whateva
way they please. Their intention, by to.day's proceeding, has
doubtless not been to advance recriminations or complaints. It
would be easy, in such a case, for us to ask to whom belonged the
right to make them ? and what, then, might we not have to say !
But our business is to go on as heretofore, and to attend to all the
affairs of your embassies, in constant conformity with Treaties."
They then retired.
