НАГРАДЪ ГРАФА УВАРОВА.

At the Head of tliese His Excellency found General Colocotroni, whom, 
by the bye, His Excellency had forraerly denounced to Monsieur de la Fer- 
ronnazo as «le seul homme qui ne veut pas le bien de la Grèce». 
The general had a heavy claim for past services on a former Govern- 
ment. Count Capodistrias had refused to acknowledge any such debts. The 
claim however was liquidated — the tenths of his Province were granted 
to Іііш at his own price — a command at Lensina (Eleusis) was given to 
his son, and the General in return engaged to conduct the Elections to His 
Excellency’s satisfaction in the province of Arcadia, and to send emissaries 
for the same purpose throughout the Morea. 
The Extraordinary Commissioners, Provisional Governors and Demo- 
geronties were then instructed to decoy those Primates, (especially Mon- 
sieur Zaiini), who were most respected by their tenantry, and to accuse 
Prince Movrocordate, Monsieur Tricoupi, Monsieur Zographo, Monsieur 
Zaimi, and indeed nearly all the well informed and independent Greeks of 
liaving sold themselves to the English, wliose purpose it is to enslave the 
Morea. 
For proof of this I beg leave to refer Your Lordship to My Dispatch № 45. 
Where, as at Kalavrita (Monsieur Zaimi’s province), the Demogeroncy 
was found intractable, the Municipal Officers were instantly discharged by 
the Government and were replaced by a «Special Commission» named by itself. 
The Agents of the Government were not only afforded every facility for 
packing the Electoral Chambers according to their will but (as Your Lord- 
ship will observe in sub enclosure JV° 1) they were even authorized by Count 
Capodistrias, should these chambers not answer their purpose, to appeal 
directly to the People. 
The first conséquence of these Measures was an almost general request 
addressed to His Excellency that he would himself accept the füll powers 
of the Electors. 
This was going too far, and the offer was declined. 
The second was the issue of positive instructions to nearly ail the De- 
puties to obey His Excellency’s Commands in every thing, on paiu of for- 
feiting their Seats in the Assembly. 
The Instructions from Corinth (Enclosure A® 2) are said to hâve been 
written originally as they are herewith sent, in Frencli, the language always 
employed by Count Capodistrias. 
They déclaré that the Deputies from that Town «n’ont pas le droit de 
«donner une opinion contraire à celle du Président et, s’ils prennent cette 
«liberté, leur Mandat devient nul» and that, «ils ne doivent pas oser de 
«changer en rien la position du Président».
