THE WESTERN POWERS AND THE EXPULSION

It's fortunate circumstance that the late unpleasant

The only proper way of dealing with the difficulty was TO

the English Government To convince the world that the

caEnOt either resist or obey with safety.
We tIust that the last events in Northern Greece have
Civ a check to he Instruction. and that means will be
found 10 put end 10 the acts OF erOcity which have
been committed there, probably on both sides. But the
weakness and bad faith OF the Greek Government, added
lie evident leaning TO power with VIII ch the two other
protecting States at war raise questions OF great
nicely and importance for the consideration OF the French
and Engfh Cabinets. The experiment of the Bavarian
Government in Greece has not only failed to raise the
country rapidly ought 10 have done in the rank of
udI epGent Christian powers but it has produced state

important and stl indefinite events which In
pfoeresr in the East cannot but materially affect the
dOn Of Gre ece, either for good for evil. They ought
connect her closely with the Western Powers, to
improve government and ~ give her more numerous
and oCnenod population; but, above Gl they ought to
provide aganst the danger Of extending the influence Of
kussia by causing the Greeks 20 look TO the Emperor
Nicholas as their chief protector and ally.
