After а few more general remarks upon indifferent subjects His Majesty 
dimissed me in the usual manner withdrawing into bis private apartment. 
In a subséquent conversation with Count Nesselrode in which I related 
to him, wbat had passed between the Emperor and myself, I found His Ex- 
cellency very much disposed to modifiy ail, that His Majesty had said. Не 
told me, that the Emperor was in the habit of viewing every tliing in the 
blackest point of view, and of expressing his thoughts to tliose, in whom he 
had confidence with a freedom and warmth, that led sometimes to an exag- 
gerated idea of his meaning. For his own part he by no means partook of 
the Emperor’ s alarm with respect to the state of things in France — nor 
did he think that His Majesty’s opinions as to the possibility of a speedy 
dissolution of the Ottoman Empire, were exactly borne out by the reports, 
he had received from that country. At ail events he could see no reason 
why any steps should now be taken to bring on discussions upon points, 
where no practical resuit could be arrived at, — and wliere it was impos- 
sible to foresee ail the complications, which may eventually arise to baffle 
the wisest calculations. In his opinion it would be quite time enough to 
proceed to considération of what measures it would be prudent to adopt 
with respect to the Turkish Empire, when the danger of its dissolution was 
more imminent. 
Upon one point he perfectly coincided in opinion with His Majesty — 
namely the expediency of proceeding without loss of time to the choice of 
a Prince, to whom the Government of Greece might be confided. He ex- 
pressed his conviction, that the longer the choice was delayed, the greater 
would be the difficulty attending it. 
I hâve the honor to be with great respect, 
My Lord, 
Your Lordship’s 
most obedient 
humble servant 
Heytesbury.
