The hostile attitude of the Hellenic Powers who have emancipated Greece from an alien yoke and have secured her independence, and the evident collusion of the present Cabinet with the enemies of these Powers, constitute for them still stronger reasons for acting with firmness, in re aliance upon the rights which they derived from Treaties and which have been viodi- eated for the preservation of the Grook people upon every occasion upon which it has been menaced in the exercise of its rights or in the enjoyment of its
