Copy:of a Letter addressed to the Earl of Aberdeen, by the 14 ep
sentatives of Great Britain, France, and Russia, at Constantinople,
dated April 24, 1830,
MY Lona—On the Bth of April we acquainted the Sublime
Porte, by the note of which a copy is enclosed, with the decision of
the three Allied Courts, relative to Greece. We have just received,
and we lose no time in transmitting to your Lordship, the answer of
the Sublime Porte. We entertain no doubt that the Courts will
consider this answer as satisfactory as it has appeared to us. The
adhesion of the Sublime Porte to the decision of the Allies Is there.
in given without restriction orreserve.
It will nevertheless be our duty to report the observations entered
into by the Reis Effendi, at a Conference to which we were yester.
day invited by that Minister, upon some of the arrangements con.
eluded at London, as well as the wishes which he expressed to us,
and the answers which we returned to him. But being desirous not
to retard the transmission of a document so decisive, with which it is
important that our Courts should be made acquainted with the least
possible delay, we reserve our communication on the subject of this
conference for a further despatch, which will, however, speedily fol.
low that now addressed to your Lordship.
We request your Lordship to accept the assurance of our high
consideration.

the Mount Artolina, from whence it shall follow the ridge of Mount
Ones, the valley of Calculi, and the ridge of Blount as far as
the gulf of Zeitoun, which it shall reach at the mouth of the
Sperchius.

which the conference has marked upon the map hereunto annexed,

Prince who shall not be capable of being chosen from among those
of the families reigning in the States that signed the Treaty on the
6th of July, 1827, and who shall bear the title of Sovereign Prince
of Greece.

So soon u the present arrangements shall have been conveyed to
the knowledge of the parties Interested, peace shall be considered

regard to the rights of commerce and navigation, as those of other

ing the whole of the foregoing arrangements and articles. No troops
belonging to one of the contracting powers shall be allowed to enter
the territory of the new Greek State, without the consent of the two
other Courts who signed tee Treaty.
9. In order to avoid the collisions which could not fail to result,
under existing circumstarces, from bringing the Ottoman boundary
Commissioners and Greek boundary Commissioners into contact,
when the line of the frontiers cf Greece comes to be laid down on
the spot, it is agreed that that task shall be intrusted to British,
French, and It ussian Commissioners, and that each of the thee Courts

be given to the Ottoman Government, and the other to the Greek
Government. They shall be hound to finish their labours in the
space of six months. In case of difference of opinion between the
