nlcations which have in view the deter mi.
nation oil the frontier between Turkey and
Greece.
Some important portions OF the treaty
Of Berlin, which have 80 long remained

object Of my anxious attention. A rising
in Transvaal has recently imposed upon
me the duty OF taking military measures
with view to Q prompt VlndlCation Of my

ropean settlers that full control over their
own local affairs, without prejudice to the
interests OF the natives, which had been

In Basnto land continues, Notwithstanding
the etfltts Of the Cape government. II

for a friendly action on my part
with the view Of . restoration ol peace.
