122 THE WAR OF GREEK INDEPENDENCE Government, and the attempt to oust Kolokotrones from his dangerous predominance. It was, indeed, the feud between the military and the civilian elements which had rendered all efforts at legislation impossible. The soldiers, less skilled with the tongue than with the sword, withdrew in dudgeon from the war of words, and formed a sort of Upper Chamber of their own. The measures which survived the strife of tongues in the civilian Assembly were invariably rejected with contempt by this novel House of Lords, which, in its turn, originated nothing. That legislation was thus rendered impossible would have mattered little, where a strong administration was so much more needed, if a strong administration could have been formed. But it was just here that the battle of the factions raged most violently, and with the most fatal effect. The Government was to consist, as before, of two councils or committees, one legislative, to represent the Assembly when not in session, the other executive. It became the object of the civilian party to exclude the military element from these committees; and this, as far as their influence in the Assembly was concerned, they were strong enough to effect. The executive council, as constituted by the Assembly, consisted of Petrobey as president, and three continental

Kolokotrones, however, with threats of violence, obtained the vacant place for himself. He attempted also to secure the election of his creature, Deliyanni, to the presidency of the legislative committee ; and when this was filled by the choice of Mavrocordatos, he broke out in uncontrollable fury. The Phanariot, with his spectacles, his swallowtail coat, his European airs, and his talk of constitutional government, was an object of loathing to the savage old ' Klepht. I won't allow you to be ' president he ! cried. ' If you accept, I will follow you step by step, and throw dirt at that fine European get-up of yours! ' * Kolokotrones now saw that, unless he appealed to arms, his influence in the Government would be lost. For a time, indeed, he and the other military chiefs submitted, grumbling; but on the 10th of April, a fresh aggression on the part of the civilians precipitated the crisis. It was now decided by the Assembly to deprive Kolokotrones of the supreme military command, and to vest this in a committee of three. This was but one more example of the unwisdom of making offensive proposals which there is no possibility of i Mendelssohn, i. 311.
