244 THE WAR OF GREEK INDEPENDENCE agreeable discovery, and inclined the Czar more and more to the idea of a Turkish war, as a means of restoring the morale of his troops. The course of events at St. Petersburg had been a severe blow to Metternich. When Alexander died, he knew nothing of the alteration made in the succession, and had written to congratulate Constantine with unconcealed joy. He knew that from Constantine the cause of the Greeks would have little to expect; that he hated England, despised France, loathed Prussia as a hotbed of revolutionary intrigue, and was wholly devoted to Austria. 1 ' The Russian romance is at an end/ he wrote exultingly; ' now begins Russian history.' 2 And now Constantine had given place to Nicholas, who, in every important respect, was the exact reverse of his brother. Nicholas, indeed, who in character seemed half Puritan, half drill-sergeant, Don't had little enough sympathy for the Greeks. ' ' speak to me of Greeks! he is said to have exclaimed, ' ' I call them rebels ! Nevertheless the course to which personal inclination would never have led him was being gradually forced on him by the logic of political necessity; for, apart from the military reasons already mentioned, and which would have made the need for 1 Metternich to Baron Ottenfels, December 18, 1825.

POLICY OF CANNING 245 the active intervention of Russia in the affairs of the East not unwelcome to the Czar, the growing influence of England in the Levant was beginning to him with anxiety. Russia could not afford to see her own prestige completely overshadowed by that of a Power which was already recognised as her great rival in the East. During the moment of supreme peril, when Ibrahim stood on the heights above Nauplia, in July 1825, the Greek National Assembly had offered to place Hellas formally under British protection. Canning had refused; but at the same time his policy had now become so markedly favourable to the Greeks, that Lord Strangford, the Turcophile ambassador at Constantinople, resigned. 1 He was replaced by Stratford Canning (Lord Stratford de Redcliffe), fill to whom instructions were given to enter into relations with the Hellenic Government. In January 1826 a conference took place between the British ambassador and representatives of Greece at Perivolakia, opposite the island of Hydra. The Greeks, discouraged by the unfavourable turn the war had taken, were at this time prepared to consider the Russian proposal of vassal States. Canning now determined once more to open direct negotiations with the Czar, of whose favourable disposition he had been previously assured in some prii Prokesch, i. 266.
