Greece
In my paper of advice to the Greeks you will observe
what I say in relation to the Mahomedan population
of that country: supposing them treated with the gentleness
there recommended they might ere long be made willing
instruments for the liberation of the subjects of the Barbary
Powers from the existing Despotisms. The people
are every where prepared for it, as I have been satisfied
by circumstances that have come to my knowledge,
but of which no intimation could be given in
the paper intended for publication, lest by that means
the fulfilment of the prophecy should be prevented,
by the divulgation of it. Natural and supposed irreconcilable
enemies would thus be converted into grateful
and steady allies.
