362 THE WAR OF GREEK INDEPENDENCE government, Admiral Miaoulis sailed, with only some fifty men, to Poros, and, with the help of the inhabitants, seized the arsenal and the fleet. Kanaris, the hero of Chios, was on board the corvette Spezzia, and Miaoulis tried to win him over to the constitutional cause. But the sturdy old seaman, who believed heart and soul in the divine mission of Russia, true to his sense of duty, refused the hand that was held out to him, and was placed for a short time under arrest. When the news of the exploit of Miaoulis reached Capodistrias, he was furious. Three days before, yielding to the representations of the English and French Residents, he had promised to summon the National Assembly in October, or earlier if possible. This coup d'etat of the Hydriots was all that he had got by his weakness. In his dealings with these rebels at any rate there should be no consideration shown, and the insult to the majesty of government should be wiped out in blood. On the Greeks, however, he could no longer reckon; and he turned for assistance to the representatives of the Powers. By an unfortunate mischance, the English frigate, commanded by Captain Lyons, had sailed for the Gulf of Athens that very morning; and the French Resident, M. de Rouen, was also absent. This gave Capodistrias an opening of which he was not slow to avail himself.
ACTION OF THE RUSSIAN ADMIRAL 353 The crisis called for immediate action; and he appealed to the Russian admiral to compel the Hydriots to evacuate Poros, and surrender the fleet. Admiral Ricord, a bluff seaman, ready to do anything that seemed to serve the interests of his master the Czar, was easily persuaded by the ex-minister of Russia. Without waiting for his colleagues, he sailed for Poros, and summoned Miaoulis to surrender the fleet, and return to Hydra. The intrepid Hydriot replied that he owed obedience only to the government of Hydra, that he would yield, if at all, only to the united commands of the three Powers, and that, if the Russian admiral attacked him, he would oppose force to force. In any case, however, sooner than let the national fleet fall again into the hands of the Government, he would himself destroy it. For the present the Russian did not venture to proceed to extremes; and contented himself with watching the outlets of the harbour, so as to prevent Miaoulis carrying off the fleet. A considerable force had also meanwhile been sent, under !N"iketas, to attack the island from the land side, where it was only separated from the Peloponnese by a narrow channel. At the end of the month the English frigate, with Captain Lyons on board, returned; and with the French frigate, under Captain Lalande, proceeded to
