The papers laid before Parliament prove the worthlessness of Mr Piscatory’s diplomacy; but the conduct of Lord Palmerston cannot be correctly appreciated, unless we trace the connexion of England and Greece since the convention of 1832, appointing Prince Otho of Bavaria King of Greece, under the protection and guarantee of England, France, and Russia. That treaty, it must be recollected, was the work of Lord Palmerston. King Otho was selected by Lord Palmerston; he was conveyed to Greece by Lord Palmerston’s favourite diplomatist, Sir E. Lyons; and it was under Lord Palmerston’s special protection that the Anglo-Bavarian Regency was furnished with £2,400,000, and allowed to destroy the institutions of the Greek nation. These facts embrace the history of British connexion with Greece from 1832 to 1837. Great Britain, or, to speak more correctly, our Foreign Secretary, is morally responsible for the government of the Greek kingdom by Count Armansperg, who ruled far more absolutely than King Otho has ever done, for the simple reason that he had a better filled purse. Sir E. Lyons supported him with vigour alike against Russian and French opposition, Greek patriotism, and constitutional principles, as may be seen by a reference to the papers laid before Parliament in July 1836. In 1837, Armansperg was dismissed from office; but Greece is still suffering from the loss of the institutions he destroyed, and the political corruption he introduced. Coletti, it is true, imitated his political system in the internal government with singular aptitude, but with diminished funds and resources for corruption. Where Armansperg could appoint an amnestied brigand a captain of infantry, Coletti could only make some old friend a policeman, or peradventure a consul. In 1837 the Government of Greece broke off its intimate connexion with England, and the English Minister at Athens became involved in a succession of quarrels with the court. It is not necessary for us to prove that the Bavarian Administration from 1837 to 1843 was bad. All parties agree that it was intolerable; and the Greeks were universally applauded when they expelled the whole tribe of Bavarian officials. King Otho had fallen into an error that might have been expected from a Whig-created king; he had neglected all the real duties of royalty, and transacted the business of his under-secretaries of state.
