ОТЧЕТЪ О ТРИДЦАТЬ СЕДЬМОМЪ ПРИСУЖДЕНІИ 
by remaining in ignorance of my proceedings, retarded, as tliey hâve been 
by my unfortunate détention at tbe Dardanelles. I bave also determined 
on sendiug tbe Messenger Waring to St. Petersbnrgb witli tbe imperfect 
information, which alone I am at present able to impart to His Grâce. 
I sliall of course take measures for communicating again in tbe most 
expéditions manner, as well with you, as witli tbe duke of Wellington, so 
soon as I learn tbe decision of tbe Turkisb Government. Witli this view 
I detain tbe messenger Clews. 
I should not omit to mention, that tbe Reis-Efendi, in referring to tbe 
points at issue between Russia and bis Government during lord Strangford’s 
embassy at tbis Court, spoke of tbe présentation of M. de Minziaky’s cre- 
dentials, as tbe closing act of tbe late discussions and as liaving placée! 
tbe diplomatie relations of tbe two Countries on a footing satisfactory to 
tbe Porte. 
I know not, with any degree of certainty, whether tbe Turkisb Govern- 
ment bas receivecl information of tbe plan, given by lord Strangford with a 
view to tbe pacification of Greece, but in conséquence of your communi- 
cations to me upon tbe subject I thought it right to take occasion during 
my late interview with the Reis-Efendi to apprize that Minister, that His 
Lordship’s plan, what ever it’s object may bave been, had met with no 
countenance from His Majesty’s Governement and that great Britain was 
still for tbe moment unfettered by any engagements with other powers relating 
tbe eastern Europe. It lias corne to my knowledge, that tbe French Ainbas- 
sador received information of lord Strangford’s plan before he set out from 
Constantinople and that he had described prince Metternich to bave declared 
bis readiness to subscribe tbe whole of it with tbe exception of a few 
sentences. 
I bave tbe honour to be with trutli and respect, 
Sir, 
Your most obedient 
humble servant 
Stratford Canning.

Sir! 
Tbe utter inability, in which I found myself to dispatch tbe Messenger 
Clews, as I had wished, last night, affords me an opportunity of tbrowing
