In a word, From all this and much a good deal more, S.'s conclusion
is — that the wishes, and consequent endeavours
of the functionaries are — not in our favour not of Democracy, but of but in favour of a form of
Monarchy under Holy Alliance, in as a form of government
government more favorable to those, in whose hands most
wealth and power, together with pretensions to ancestry, are
at present: and that among persons of that class this is the
general sentiment: in all this how much so ever I see to
afflict me, I see nothing that supposes more than what I had in
a measure I made sure of: but in regard to the
many the hopes are very encouraging.

Of all the leading men, the rival of Agamemnon is the
man of whom, I find the best hopes are entertained: originally
no better than a free booter, he was, it is said for setting up for himself:
but, after a trial regarding that as impracticable,
he is become, a declared convert to the only truly legitimate government, and it is
hoped and a sincere one. To him, I believe, this person
copy of whose letter accompanies this, is attached; or at least at S.s departure was
attached. S. looks upon him as being in respect of legislation

that same letter: of which I shall endeavour to get for
Added to the copy of it is the that of an answer: the original is in hand
together with my answer to him which
will go by ready to embark in the Ships Florida which has been for I know
not how long (five or so weeks I believe) on the point of
sailing for Greece. Another letter of you will I hope receive by this
send you opportunity is a copy is one of mine to M. in answer to the two
he sent me by the two Deputies: one an official one in
his character of Secretary to the Executive Government, the other
a private one, recommending these same deputies to my care.
