of an arrangement to counteract

gagements, the Sultan consents
t'to assign the Island of
Cyprus to be occupied and
administered by Great Britain,
who agree to pay to the Porte the
present excess of the islands reve-
nue. over it's expenditure. Finally,
Great Britain engages to evacuate
the island and terminate the Con.
vention, If Russia restores Batoum,
