out to be correct & we have found out the the inviduals
whose names you gave me; were really engaged — but
we could not ascertain, that there was a Treaty for

that new triumphs on the part of the Greeks have closed
the present campaign & have decided finally the independence

they are now convinced at Constantinople that the struggle
is a hopeless one for them". I said Sir, It is not
Turkey, but Russia that the friends of Greece have

sent supplies into Greece— Now the Greeks can have no chance
