344 THE WAR OF GREEK INDEPENDENCE ing. Beside the vast and dangerous issues raised by these movements, the affairs of Greece sank into comparative insignificance. During the autumn of 1830, England and France were fully occupied with the revolution in Belgium; and, towards the end of the year, the insurrection of the Poles claimed the whole attention of Russia. In the absorption of these more pressing interests Greece was, for the time being, forgotten; and Capodistrias was left to pursue his policy, unhampered by the interference of the Powers. The revolution had, however, another effect upon the affairs of the Hellenes. The old republican cry of ' ' Liberty ! Equality ! Fraternity raised once ! from the barri- more, amid the rattle of musketry, cades of Paris, had penetrated to Greece, and awakened echoes among its islands and mountains.

To the mass of the peasantry indeed, at any rate in the Morea, where the word Suntagma (Constitution) was rapidly becoming synonymous with rapine and bloodshed, the personal rule of Capodistrias was not unwelcome.
