Knatchbull Hugessen. Luke White. FROM THE LONDON, GAZETTE of JANUARY 6, 1863. Foreign Office, January 5, 1863, HER Majesty's Government have received from the Honourable Henry Elliot, a copy of the following Memorandum, which he had delivered to the President of the Provisional Government of Greece: MEMORANDUM. IT is Her Majesty's earnest desire to contribute to the welfare and prosperity of Greece. The Treaties of 1827 and 1832, bear evidence of this desire on the part of the British Crown. The Provisional Government of Greece declared, upon, the withdrawal of King Otho from, Greece, that their mission is to maintain for Greece, Constitutional Monarchy and the Relations of Peace with all other States. If the new Assembly of the Representatives of the Greek Nation should prove faithful to this declaration, should maintain Constitutional Monarchy, and should refrain from all aggression against neighbouring States, and if they should choose a Sovereign against whom no well founded objection could be raised, Her Majesty would see in this course of conduct a promise of future freedom and happiness for Greece. In such a case, Her Majesty, with a view to strengthen the Greek Monarchy, would be ready to announce to the Senate and Representatives of the Ionian Islands, Her Majesty's wish to see them united to the Monarchy of Greece, and to form with Greece one united state; and if this wish should be expressed also by the Ionian Legislature, Her Majesty would then take steps for obtaining the concurrence of the Powers who were parties to the Treaty by which the seven Ionian Islands and their dependencies were placed as a separate state under the protectorate of the British Crown. I am to take care, in my communications upon this subject, to make it understood, that the election of a Prince, who should be the symbol and precursor of revolutionary disturbance, or of the adoption of an aggressive policy towards Turkey, would prevent any relinquishment of Her Majesty's protectorate of the Ionian Islands. Her Majesty's Government trust that, in the selection of a sovereign to rule over Greece, the Greek Assembly will choose for their king a prince from whom they can expect a regard for religious liberty, a respect for constitutional freedom, and a sincere love of peace. A prince, possessing these qualities will be fitted to promote the happiness of Greece, and will be honoured with the friendship and confidence of Her Majesty the Queen.
