1823. Nov. 20 Col. Stanhope to Mr Bouring. Florence 20. nov. 1823. 4

Monsr. Jovoasky Rigo gave me the fol
lowing information. The Hydriots and Speciots,
in virtue of a promise formerly made to them,
wished to settle their families at napoliromanic Colacatroni,
it seemd, opposed the measure, up—on
which these islanders refused to act. Mavra—cordarto,
was in consequence sent to Hydtia,
to consolidate them and to get them to equip their
fleet. He succeeded: it set sail, had a naval en
gagement with the Turks between Tenedos and
Metelene, and took and burnt five or six vessels.
Mavrocordarto returned to the Monea.

Monsr.Rigo thinks it matter of the great
est importance to promote concord among the
captaines, and their subordination to the govern—ment.
To this end, he recommended my having
private conferences with the chiefs, for the purpose
of convincing them that neither they nor their
country can prosper unless they act in concord

Servia he considers under the influence
of Russia, because the servants acquired their pri—viledges
under the protection of that government.
---page break---
The Turks, it seems, have secured four of their
principle chiefs as hostages at Constantinople.
Albania, though a large portion of it's population
are Turks, are by no means attached to the Porte

A supply of provisions going to Corinth has
it is said been taken by the Greek fleet, and that place
is . Patras is not strong, and might
be taken in two days. It is held by a great Turkish
proprietor. The wealth there is considerable. This
has exiled the of the various Greek chiefs,
and their disunion has prevented it's being captured.
Mason and Coran are strong places, but not of much
importance. Monsr. Rigo thinks that Greece would will
afford a most advantageous refuse for our superfluous
population. Monsr.Rigo thinks that if the Greeks are
to have a King, that the Prince of Coburg would be
as acceptable as any that could be selected. I am go—ing
to have an interview this evening with the Prince

caradgea. Tomorrow
I proceed to Pisa
