346 THE WAR OF GREEK INDEPENDENCE Opposition, and set up his office and press, in the first instance, in Nauplia, under the very eyes of the Gov- This was too much for the official mind of ernment. the Capodistrian administration. Constitution or no constitution, this impious criticism of the Government must be stopped. The issue of the very first number was followed by a police raid on the premises of the paper; the whole edition was confiscated, and the machinery and plant taken possession of by the Government. Polyzoides urged in vain that in Greece, by the terms of the Constitution, the press was free. The Government replied that, though the Constitution did not forbid attacks on officials, neither did it authorise them. Driven from Nauplia, Polyzoides removed the headquarters of his paper to Hydra, where it flourished under the protection of the Hydriot communal government, which refused all the President's demands for its suppression. Capodistrias, true to the traditions of his Kussian schooling, was not taught wisdom by this failure, and continued his efforts to curb the journalistic opposition. He protested, indeed, that he had no intention of interfering with the liberty of the press; but liberty was not licence, and he reserved to the Government the right of deciding when the bounds between the two had been overstepped 1 The popular poet,
HYDRA HEADS THE OPPOSITION 347 Alexander Soutsos, in one of his satires, gave voice to the public feeling aroused by this policy: My friend, the press is free for him who spares the crowd Of government officials and their friends, Nor criticises ministerial means and ends. The press is free, my friend, but writing's not allowed.* This shortsighted action of the President produced the usual results. The violence and the circulation of the Opposition newspapers grew with the efforts of the authorities to suppress them; and a journal which, left alone, might have perished for lack of readers, expanded into an influence and a power. The gathering forces of opposition and discontent found a centre and rallying place in the island of Hydra. From the very outset the haughty rejection of the advances of the Hydriots by Capodistrias, which has already been mentioned, had prejudiced the proud islanders against his government; and nothing that he had done since had tended to reconcile them to it. Accustomed to complete autonomy under the mild suzerainty of the sultans, they had seen their liberties curtailed by the action of Capodistrias, and their free communal constitution turned into a mere machine for registering the decrees of the Government prefects. In common with ^Egina, Spezzia, and Poros, they had i Mendelssohn, ii. 224.
