ANGLO-AUSTRIAN ENTENTE 331 On the llth and 12th of October a cordial entente between the English and Austrian Cabinets had been arrived at; and the policy of the majority of the Powers was henceforward directed to counteracting the preponderance obtained by Russia. "Wellington now recognised, what Metternich had insisted on so long, that Greece must be erected into an independent State; for, the Porte being caught inextricably in the toils of Russia, to create a vassal principality in the Levant would only be to open the way for the extension of Russian influence in the Mediterranean. On the other hand, as long as there remained any hope of maintaining the Ottoman Empire, the Tory statesman would do nothing to raise up a Power which might conceivably become a new source of danger to its existence. If, therefore, Greece was to be independent, its limits must be so curtailed that it could under no circumstances prove a menace to Turkey. 1 He did not see that a strong Hellas would have been the surest of all barriers against the advance of Russia, and the settlement, therefore, which of all others Russia would most have dreaded. The views of the English Cabinet were embodied in a new protocol, which was signed at London, on behalf of the Powers, on February 3, 1830. By the i Mendelssohn, ii. 174.
