152 THE WAR OF GREEK INDEPENDENCE ties; and the Turkish navy, owing to the causes mentioned elsewhere, had not proved itself efficient in war, though it was now in a far better condition than at the outbreak of the revolt, and doubtless in time the vastly greater resources of the Ottoman empire might have worn out the naval power of Greece. Under these circumstances, the Sultan's thoughts turned to his vassal Mehemet Ali, Pasha of Egypt; and to him he determined to apply for aid. This remarkable man, who had raised himself from the lowest ranks ot the people to sovereign power, was already plotting those vast schemes of ambition which subsequently brought him into collision with the Ottoman Empire; and, in preparation for these, he had organised an army on the European model, and a magnificently appointed fleet. The Sultan, fully awake to the importance of modern methods in warfare, had viewed these preparations of his powerful vassal with considerable misgiving; and, in proposing to him to help in the suppression of the Greek revolt, he doubtless hoped to serve a twofold object, in using the instrument which seemed the most effective for his immediate purpose, and at the same time, perhaps, blunting a weapon which he suspected would, sooner or later, be directed against himself. He, therefore, now proposed to Mehemet Ali to use these newly disci-

Mehemet, whose plans of wider ambition were not yet ripe, and who still maintained towards his suzerain the attitude of a loyal and dutiful subject, was nothing loth to respond to an appeal which was so flattering to his pride, and so pregnant with future possibilities; and the bargain was soon concluded. Crete, the price of his interference, was the first to feel the weight of Mehemet Ali's power. The insurrection in the island had, so far, been singularly successful. At Therison, at Crepa, and at Haliarkse the insurgents had been victorious; the Mussulmans had been swept from the hills and the open country, and confined to the three coast towns. But success had been followed by the customary quarrels between the victors. The hillsmen fought with the lowlanders ; and both combined to resist the authority of the Russian Afentulis, who had been sent as his representative by Demetrius Hypsilanti. In November 1822, the Hydriot Tombazes arrived, and replaced Afentulis; but the quarrels continued, and the short intervals of peace were spent in empty questions of constitutional government. discussions on abstract
