governed nearly as they have been here
tofofe.
In 1865, the Turks, having conquered
Walischla, established therein princes &C
knowiedging the Divan as their head, with
The privilege, however, OF not receiving
Ottoman troops. In 1886, Soliman |. al
ter conquerng Moldasia, granted it The
same privileges. Latterly, these priviIe-
ges were modified extended and placed
under the safeguard of Russia. In i774
Mustapha Ill. wished to erect the Morea
| into NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. he died
the same year, and the design. was aban-
doned. II will be objected perhaps that
the Porte has always been decidedly "a
verse 10 foreign intervention in the course
OF the last negotiations.
The annals OF anterior times, however,
furnish examples OF forfigo intervention
admitted by the Divan. In 1874, at the
peace OF Ksinardi; in 1879 and 1909 also
the Intervention of Russia and Prussia was
allowed.
Il is the belief Of Russia that the Greeks
cannot reasonably carry their hopes any
restrained freedom OF trade u have their
own dag The Greek Patriarch, who
should continue to reside at Constan,ino-
pie, would be in manner representa-.
tive of the Grecan nation, The Turks
should still garrison some fortresses, with
a line drawn however, beyo0d which they
might not pass. There would be- besides
Deilher pacha nor governor, but each CT
the principaliles would pay tribute pro.
portioned to its wealth and extent; The re.
gulatlons relative 10 the internal organi-
zalioa would form the object OF a second
negotiation between the contracting pow-
ers. The Porte would 6nd a certain
advantage ia a negoclation. 4 fourth
campaign will. in all probability, be as
little favorable 10 Turkey as he prece-
ding; while the proposed arrangement
will insure 10 her peace AMI regular reve-
nues from the tribute of the several prin-
cipaiities. Her repose has been ever dis
turbed by revols among the pachas, who
besides appropriated TO their own use the
treasure they wrested from The people
OF these revoIts and insurrectioDs of am
bilious or rapacious pachas, he adoption
of this measure would relieve her. Ma
homet II. allowed the isles 10 be simply
tributary. The same mode OF accommo-
dation, induced between the Porte and
Greece, would give The allied powers The
advantage Of securing the acknowledgment
Of Greece, without deviatiBg from the
principles that form the basis OF their pc
Icy, and without apparently wishing to
favor the prospects OF absolute indepen-
dence.
Russia, therefore. proposes-lst, To
approve OF the suggestions expressed 10
this memorial I'd, 10 agree that anala-
gous instructions be addressed to the am
bassadors and allied ministers at CONSTANT
nop!e. Sd, TO leave to those ministers
all necessary latitude, 4tb 10 agree that
all the parts of this plan for paci6cation,
proposed by the alliance, be communica-
ted by them successfully. 9th, l INFORM
the ministers, thai in persuading the Porte
10 adopt the principle Of an interven-
ton Or mediation, they will conform to the
views Of the allies. And 9th, That it is ne
cessary 10 impress upon the Porte that the
erection of three principalties, would di,
minish the collective strength of Greece,
and that as the Porte would have the no.
minalion OF the Hospodars, princes, or o.
ther rulers, il would by that secure tae
interest of the most important families d
mong the Greeks.
