i'll discussing the resolutions which may be
adopted with respect to Greece it is affirm

be fortified, and then Greece would include
the Morea others say it is agreed that
the frontier of Greece shall extend from the
Gulf of Aria to the Gulf of Zeitouni, includ-
ing Negropont and the islands in the
Archipelago, which belong to Europe. In
this case the General in Chief will go to
Athens by the Isthmus of Corinth, and Gen.
Sebastiani's brigade will 90 10 the same
place by way of Tripolizza and Argos. But
these projects which we hear of are suboI-
dinate TO the decisions of the Ambassadors,
who after having been assembled for these
two years to render Greece free and indie
pendent, have not We; even fixed the boun-
daries of the new state. This is a circum-
stance that may still cause some delay"
