116 THE WAR OF GREEK INDEPENDENCE tary, was heartily favourable to the Greek cause. As early as February 1823 his dispatches to Lord Strangford show a complete reversal of British policy; and England now appears, for the first time, as the advocate of the cause of the oppressed Christian subjects of the Porte. 1 On the 25th of March England recognised the Greeks as belligerents; and the struggle was henceforward invested with a new significance. 2 From this time it became impossible for even the most reactionary Powers of the Holy Alliance to deal with the Hellenic rising as they had dealt with the popular movements in Spain or Naples. The diplomatic game began once more on a new basis: the recognition of the Greek claims. In October 1823 the Czar and the Austrian Emperor met at Czernowitz, to prepare for the interference of the Powers, in the interests of Europe.

RUSSIAN PROPOSALS 117 of views became at once apparent. Russia then, as now, unwilling to see any really powerful State established on the ruins of the Ottoman Empire, or to encourage a Pan-Hellenic as opposed to a Pan-Slavonic movement proposed the opening of conferences on the basis of the division of Greece and the islands into three principalities, under Ottoman suzerainty, and guaranteed by the European Powers. 1 In view, however, of the aggressive policy of Russia in the Danubiaii principalities, her motive in making this suggestion was too apparent. Austria could not afford to see Russian influence paramount over the whole Balkan peninsula; and Metternich began to suspect that the true interest of Austria lay in the erection of Greece into an independent State. Meanwhile the Greeks had profited little by the lessons of the war. ISTo sooner was the immediate danger removed than the old anarchy once more broke out. The lamentable failure of the attempts of Mavrocordatos at generalship, as well as the cowardice displayed by the Government on the occasion of Dramali's advance on Argos, had filled the fierce Armatoli and their captains with contempt for the civilian leaders, and still further accentuated the already deeply-marked line between the parties.
