VIENNA, May7.
Entract Of a private letter.
l have to announce to you the very
important news, that Lord Strang.
ford has presented to the Refs Efien
di, by the medium of his Dragoman,
detached Memorial BY order of his
government; and that in this Memo.
rial he developes the fatal consequent
ces which the violent struggle between
the Turks and the Greeks had alrea-
dy produced, as well as the difficult
ties which would impede the exccu-
ton of the plans Of the Ottoman go
vcrnment again to subject oil parts of
Greece to its dominion. Alterthe ex
position of the facts, and the deveIope.
ments, which his Lordship has given
of them, he endeavors to convince
the Porte of the advantages which
would accrue, from an arrangement
with the Gu eeks, and the cessation of
the very fatal state of things now ex-
isting. The conclusion of the Memo
rial is, that England and the other
great powers offer their good Offices
to terminate all the differences.
1t is known that there is here a co.
py of the Memorial, which is forci-
bly, drawn up, but it is kept very Sc,
cret. because it has only been com.
municated very conidentially. We
are led to hope for a communication of
seme extracts from this Memorial.
1t appears that, according to the
proposals made by Lord Slrangford.
the Greeks ofthe Islands Of the No.
rea, of Attica and Livadia, should 90.
vern themselves, and annually pay to
the Porte a sum equal to the revenue
which it has hitherto derived from
these provinces.
We must confess, however, that the
Refs Eilendi, has not shown himself
much satisfied with these proposals.
and it does not seem that they will,
for the present, he agreed to. The
Porte seemed inclined to try once
more the menaces of war.
