Two Greek Deputies, Orlando & Luriottis, arrived in England
in the beginning of 1824. On their reaching London the arrangements
which had been for some time before contemplated by the
Committee were carried into effect, – & a loan of £800,000
was raised for the service of Greece on terms far more favorable
than had been anticipated even by the Greeks themselves.

The Committee, in order to secure at once the proper appropriation
of this money – stipulated with the Deputies, that those
of their members Mess Hume, Ellice & Loughnan should be
named as Commissioners to sanction the disposal of the
funds money in Greece London, & three other members Lord Byron, Col.
Stanhope & M Gordon, to whom they added Lazaro
Anduriottis, a Hydriote Greek, to watch over the funds on
their arrival in the Merca, – to secure their proper
application to the purposes of war – & to obtain from the
Greek government such guarantees as were necessary to
provide for the safety of the lenders & for the reputation of
the borrowers. Events have shown that this arrangement
was a most well & properjudicious; – but unfortunately their
intentions of the Committee were thwarted by Lord Byron's death, – Col Stanhope's
recall by he English government & Mr Gordon's unanticipated absence from Greece.
A part, however, of the views of the Committee were accomplished
