His Royal Highness Prince Leopold to the Plenipotentiaries to
the three Courts.

Claremont, Feb. 11, 1830.—(Received Feb. 12.)
The undersigned received on the dth of February the letter which
the Plenipotentiaries of the three Courts who signed the treaty of
the 6th of July, 1827, did him the honour to write to him, and by
which, in virtue of the protocol of the 3d of February, 1830. they
Wet to him, in the name of the High Allied Powers, the hereditary
Sovereignty of Greece.
The undersigned is profoundly sensible how honourable and
flattering Is the choice which the AlliedlPowers are pleased to make
of him, to wry into execution their generous intentions with regard
to the new Greek state. He hastens to accept the useful and honour.
able career which the high Powers have opened to him.
Nevertheless, he would ill return the confidence which they are
pleased to place in him, and he would render himself guilty of the
consequences which might ensue from the ill success of the work
which they are pleased to confide to him, were he to give his adbe.
don without the conditions which appear to him to be indispensable
to the success of the cause which he is about to undertake.
In giving his adhesion to the arrangements agreed upon in the
three protocols Nos. 1,2, and 3, of t e 3d of February. 1830, he
must stipulate that provision shall be made, either in the treaty
which is to be definitively concluded at London, or in additional
articles to that treaty, to the following effect :
1. That the High Powers who signed the treaty of the oth July,
1827, may be graciously pleased to grant to the new Greek state
• complete guarantee, as well as the promise of succour in case of
foreign aggression.
2. That the Greek inhabitants of the islands of Candle and Samos,
who are to be restored to the Porte, may have their civil and reli-
gious position fixed and ameliorated in such a manner by the in.
tercession of the High Powers, as well as by a liberal application of
the treaty of the Gth of July, that they may be secure from all vexa.
tion, and protected against all acts calculated to lead to an effusion
of blood. On this subject, which is purely that of humanity, the
undersigned still reserves to himself fuller communications with the
Plenipotentiaries of the august Sovereigns.
3. That it may be agreeable to the high powers, that the new
frontier to the west should be fixed in such a manner as to eon.
tinue to ascend the left bank of the river Aspropotamos, as far as
the limits laid down to the north as those of the canton of
Vlochos, following from them towards the east the natural
boundary formed by the mountains which join Mount I:Eta—e
frontier indispensable for the security of this important portion of
the new state.

4. That the high powers may be pleased to assure the new Greek
state, until its own resources may have recovered their vigour, pe.
cuniary succours proportioned to its wants; since it is notorious that
the provisional Government has only been able to exist up to the
present time, by means of the subsidies granted by the generosity
of the high powers.
5. That the high powers may be pleased'to grant an aid of unop to
the new Sovereign of Greece, until such time as he shall have been
able to organize those which will be necessary for him. That they
may be pleased to agree with him as to the number of those troops,
as well as with regard to the time which they shall remain at his
disposal, and to allow him some latitude, if it should be essential to
keep them beyond the appointed time.
It would afford great satisfaction to the undersigned if the high
powers, in communicating their choice, would be pleased to grant
to the Greeks the power of objecting to the person of the under-
signed, if they should think proper.-
The undersigned avails himself, &e.

Modification of the 4th and sth Sections of the Note of the 11th of
February, 1830.

(A.) The High Powers who signed the Treaty of the In of July,
1827, bind themselves jointly or severally to give their guarantee
for the loans which the Greek Government shalt prove to them to
be indispensable to its existence.
(B.) The Allies shall propose to his Moat Christian Majesty, to
be pleased to leave the whole brigade of his troops at present in
Greece, at the disposal of the Greek Government, so long as the
urgency of circumstances shall require their presence in that
country.

Draught of a Note fotiattri2nature of his Royal Highness Prince
of Saxe Coburg.
The undersigned received, on the 4th of February, the letter
which the Plenipotentiaries of the three Courts who signed the
Treaty of the 6th of July, 1827, did him the honour to write to
him, and by which, in virtue of the protocol of the 9d of February,
1830, they offer to him, in the name of the High Allied Powers,l
the hereditary sovereignty of Greece.
The undersigned is profoundly sensible how flattering to him is
the honour which the Allied Powers are pleased to do him, in'
choosing him to carry into execution their generous intentions with
regard to the new Greek state. He hastens to accept the useful and
honourable career which the High Powers have opened to him.
Nevertheless, he conceives that he would ill return the confidence
which they are pleased to place in him, were he not, in giving his
adhesion to the protocols Nos. 1,2, and 3, of the 3d of February,
1830, to submit to them the following observations:-
1. That the Allied Powers who signed the treaty of the 6th of
July, 1827, may be graciously pleased to grant to the new Greek
state a complete guarantee, as well as the promise of succour in case
of foreign aggression.
2. That the Greek inhabitants of the islands of Candice and Sa-
mos, who are to be restored to the Porte, may have their civil and
religious position fixed and ameliorated in such a manner by the in-
tercession of the High Powers, as well as by a liberal application of
the treaty of the 6th of July, that they may be secure from all vexat
tion, and protected against all acts calculated to lead to an elßssion
of blood. Oo this subject, which is purely in the interests of hu.
manity, the undersigned still reserves to himself fuller communi-
cations with the Plenipotentiaries of the august Sovereigns.
a That it may be agreeable to the High Powers, that the new
frontier to the west should be fixed in such a manner as to con-
tinue to ascend the left bank of the river Aspropotamos, es far as the
limits laid down to the north as those of the canton of Vloches, fol-
lowing from thence towards the cut the natural boundary formed by
the mountains which join Mount CEta--a fronds: indispensable for
the security of this important portion of the new state.
4. That the High Powers may be pleased to assure to the new
Greek state, until Its own resources may have recovered their vigour,
pecuniary succours proportioned to its wants ; since It is notorious
that the Provisional Government has only been able to exist up to
thepresent time by means of the subsidies which have been furnished
to it by•the generosity of the High Powers.
6. That the said Powers may be pleased to grant an aid of Imps
to the new Sovereign of Greece, until such time as he shall have
been able to its those which will be necessary for him. That
they may be ploved to agree with him as to the number of those
troops, as well as with regard to the time which they shall remain
at his disposal. and to allow him some latitude, should he see
himself under the necessity of keeping them beyond the appointed
time.

PROJET OP THE PROTOCOL.
Foreign.ollice, Feb. 20, 1830.

3, 1830.

Powers will be invited to adhere to it.

2d. The Allied Powers cannot admit the right of intervention of
the Sovereign Prince of Greece in regard to the manner in which the
Turkish Government exercises its authority in Candia or Samoa.
These islands are to remain under the dominion of the Porte, and
are to be independent of the new Power which is about to be stab.'
Mind in Greece. However, the Allied Powers hasten to declare to
Priase Leopold, for the personal satisfaction of his Royal Highness,
thatfin virtue of the engagements which they have contracted by
collapse agreement, they consider themselves bound to amuse to the
ilabetimats of Candle sad Samoa, security against all molestetion on
account of the part which they may have taken in antecedent troubles
In case the Turkish authority should be exercised la a MUM of.
fenaive to humanity, each of the Allied Powers, without, however,
entering into a special and formal engagement to that effect, will
deem it its duty to interpose its influence with the Porte, in order to
assure to the Inhabitants of the abo►e.mentioned islands protection
against arbitrary and oppressive acts.
9d. The conference decided that there existed insurmountable ob.
stacles to a reconsideration of the decisions relative to the demarca.
tion of the limits of the new state.
4th. It is the intention of the three Powers to assure to the new
state pecuniary succours, by means of the guarantee of a loan to be
made by the Greek Government, of which the object shall be to pro.

Prince shall have occasion to raise for his service.

sth. In order to obviate the temporary difficulties which the Sore.
reign Prince might experience before the raising of his troops
should be effected, the three Courts consent to leave at the disposal
of his Royal Highness, for the period of one year, the French corps
at present in Greece.
In case a longer stay of those troops should be judged indispen.
sable, the Powers will come to an understanding with the Sovereign
Prince with the view of complying with his wishes.
It was then determined that the joint letter of the Plenipotentiaries
of the Alliance, and the reply of his Royal Highness Prince Leo.
pold, should be annexed to the present protocol.—Litt. A. B. to re.
cord the offer made to that Prince of the sovereignty of Greece, as
well as his acceptance thereof, and his adhesion to the provisions
agreed upon between the three Courts of the Alliance.
It was likewise determined that the arrangements of the present
protocol should be immediately notified to the Ottoman Porte, and
to the Provisional Government of Greece; that the form of those
communications should be settled in an early conference; and that
until the arrival of the Prince of Saxe-Coburg in Greece, the rels.
dons established between the existing Government of that country
and the Allied Courts should be maintained as they exist at the
present moment.

His Royal Highness Prince Leopold to Lerd Aberdeen.
Claremont, Feb. 23, 1830. (Received Feb. 23.)
My dear Lord,—l have received your note of yesterday, with le
prqfet du prolocole du 20 Fevrier.
1 de nut quite approve of the passage respecting the stay of the
French troops beyond the fixed period. Opposite it, in the pro.
tocol, your Lordship will find an alteration, as I propose it, and I
beg you will have the kindness to have it altered accordingly word
for word.

I must frankly tell your Lordship that I do not relish much a
modification of my note of the I Ith inst. u proposed in the received
copy.

-Sruch a modification might, perhaps, tend to affect the cor-
rectness of the record of the position I thought right to take
upon this occasion. I think your Lordship will perfectly agree
with me, that I should not myself weaken the proofs that it is not
my fault if the Greeks have not had a voice in the choice of a so-
vereign.
Should, however, the Plenipotentiaries attach much importance
to the proposed modifications, I shall, out of courtesy to them, and
to cut short all further delays, be ready to adopt the proposed ma
difications as soon as I have received the protocol signed by the
Plenipotentiaries.
I cannot conclude without reminding the Plenipotentiaries of a
promise made to me on the 15th of February, with regard to the
western limits of the new state. As I find section 3of Projet du
Protocok does no way allude to this promise, I beg that your Lord-
ship will cause the instructions—Aux Conetnissaires pour firer lee
finites, ite.—to be couched so as to give them sufficient latitude to
' have it in their power to improve the above-mentioned boundaries,
at least upon principles of natural separation.
I shall be most happy to receive you and your colleagues any
time you should think it necessary, here at Claremont. On Satur-
day next I shall be in town after two o'clock.

I remain, &c.

Protocol of the Conference held at the Foreign-Office on the 20th
of February, 1830. Present, the Plenipotentiaries of Great Bri-
tain, France, and Russia.
The Plenipotentiaries of the Allied Courts being assembled,
the object of the conference was to take into considtration the
answer of his Royal Highness Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg
to the joint note addressed to him by the Plenipotentiaries, in
conformity with the provisions of the protocol No. 2, dated
February 3, 1830.
After having examined the observations offered by Prince Leopold
upon his acceptance of the sovereignty of Greece, which had been
offered to him, the Plenipotentiaries of the alliance agreed upon the
following resolutions, relative to the five points specified in the an-
swer of his Royal Highness.
lit. The intentions of the three Courts are in conformity with the
wishes expressed by the Prince, in regard to the guarantee of the
new Greek State by the Powers who signed the treaty. The other
Powers will be invited to adhere to it.

2d. The Allied Powers cannot admit the right of intervention of
the Sovereign Prince of Greece in regard to the manner in which
the Turkish Government exercises its authority in Candies or
Samos. Those islands are to remain under the dominion of the
Porte, and are to be independent of the new Power, which it
has been agreed to establish in Greece. However, the Allied Powers
hasten to declare to Prince Leopold, for the personal satisfaction of
his Royal Highness, that in virtue of the engagements which they
have contracted by common agreement, they consider themselves
bound to assure to the inhabLants of Candies and Samos security
against all molestation on account of the part which they may have
taken in antecedent troubles. In case the Turkish authority should
be exercised in a manner offensive to humanity, each of the
Allied Powers, without however entering into a special and formal
;engagement to that effect, would deem it its duty to interpose its
aigee:rre with the Porte, in order to assure to the inhabitants of
the above-mentioned Wands protection against arbitrary and oppres.

for the pay and maintenance of the troops which the Sovereign
Prince shall have occasion to raise for his service.

Bth. In order to obviate the temporary difficulties which the So-
vereign Panne might experience before the raising of his troops
should be effected, the French Plenipotentiary, at the request of the
Plenipotentiaries of England and Russia, took upon himself to con.
sent to die prolongation of the stay of the French troops at present
' in Greece for the space of one year.
In case a longer stay of those troops should be judged indispen.
sable, the Powers will come to an understanding with the Sovereign
Prince,l with the view of complying with his wishes.

Marlborough-house, March 7, 1830.
My dear Lord—ln receiving back the papers containing my on..
ginal answer to the protocol of the 3d of February, I think it right
to bring it again to the recollection of your lordship and your col-
leagues, that though I have, from motives of courtesy, agreed to
the answer as it has been finally modified in point of form, my ad.
!lesion to the protocol is only founded on the omit and spirit of my
tenet of the 11th of February to the Plenipotentiaries.
I do not wish this to be understood as expressive of any spent of
confidence In the loyalty of the Plenipotentiaries, but to guardlisysele
against the possibility of any deviation hereafter from the intention
and object of my original answer; as I should consider that any de-
parture from the spirit of that first engagement would leave me at
perfect liberty to act as I might think proper in consequence.
I take this opportunity of submitting again to the Plenipoten.
darks the expediency of making some change in the northern boon.
darks of the new state, as I consider myself borne out by your Lord.
ships own recent statement of the difficulties which are likely to re-
sult from tlfe adoption of the proposed line of frontier, that it is of
great importance to its security some improvement should be ob.
tamed in that direction.

Confident as I am that the Plenipotentiaries have it in their power
to effect this change, I beg that your Lordship, as British Minister,
will be pleased to exert yourself to obtain it, as I consider that this
is justly due to me under all the circumstances of my position.--
Believe. me, Ste. (Signed) LEOPOLD.

Project of Loan for the Greek Government, dated Claremont, March
10,1830, delivered by his Royal Highness Prince Leopold to the
Earl of Aberdeen at Marlborough House.
The new Greek Government will contract a loan of 60,000,000 of
francs, or about 2,400,0901. sterling.

1827, shall be the guarantees for that loan, either jointly for the
whole amount, or severally each for one third. The guarantee shall
extend to a period of 30 years, and shall ensure the punctual pay.
ment of the interest, as well as the redemption of the capital within
the time speci&d.
The Greek Government contracts the following obligations to s ard s
the High Allied Powers :
lit. To realise no more of this loan than the amount absolutely
necessa7 for the exigencies of the State.
2d. 10 pay over annually, into the hands of commissioners ap.
pointed for that purpose by the Allied Powers, the sum of 2,041./ 000
of francs, to be applied to the redemption of the loan.
3d. To claim no payment of the annual interest front the High
Powers, except in so far as the Greek Government shall satisfy th.an
of its own inability to make such payment.

His Royal Highness Prince Leopold to Lord Aberdeen.
Marlborough-house, March 17, limo. (Rec. March 17.)
My dear Lord,— the state in which the transactions respecting
Greece now stand, renders it incumbent upon me to trouble your
Lordship with my sentiments on the main point which
yet remains to he decided—the extent of the pecuniary re-
sources which are to be placed at my disposal. I think 1
am justified In the assertion, that in not stipulating for any
specified amount of loan to be guaranteed, I have afforded the Powers
the strongest proof of my entire confidence in their friendly disposi.
dons. It is moray necessary for me to remind your Lordship, that
it Is now of the utmost importance to one to learn, with as little
delay as possible, the amount of loan which the Powers are disposed
to guarantee, under the 4th article of the protocol of the 20th of
February; as it must be obvious, that the toll understanding of the
means which are to be provided for the new state, can alone deter.
mine whether it will be possible for me to undertake a task of so
arduous a character.
I beg leave to state briefly, in consequence, to your Lordship, the
following reasons which have induced me to come to this conclusion.
I. The deplorable state to which the country has been reduced by a
long period of anarchy and war. 2. The real resources of the
country are as yet unknown to me, but be they what they may, it is
not in the nature of things that these resources can be made
available under such circumstances, without the instrumentality of
immediate funds, indispensably necessary to restore them to any
vigour. 3. That although it will appear true from principle, that
the expenses of a state should be made proportionate to its in.
come, yet that the very circumstances which have urged the Allied
Powers to interfere in the present instance, render It nem.
sary that the means of putting down anarchy should first be
found, which can only reasonably be expected by a settlement of the
present irregular forces in the country, and upon the sea, and by the
pecuniary assistance which must be requisite to restore them to
habits of order and good government. 4. The interest and desire
of the Allied Powers to bring about the pacification of Greece and
the peace of the East must of necessity remain the same, whether
this is accomplished at the present time or not; but that, should it
i be delayed by say endeavour to limit the means of effecting so de.
sizable a result, the difficulties and expenses of accomplishing it
hereafter must be augmented in proportion to the period to which it
Is deferred.
I shall therefore receive with all the attention that is due from
me, the proposal that may be made by the Plenipotentiaries as to
the amount of the loan to be guaranteed ; and I shall hope, entirely
for the sake of the very object that the powers have at heart, that it
will contain nothing unfavourable to the cause itself.
I remain, &c.
(Signed) LEOPOLD.
