His submission was to take place at an interview with Capodistrias, which was fixed for five o'clock on the afternoon of October 8, 1831. Unfortunately, the President had that very morning received a copy of the London l Courier/ containing a violent tirade against his person and a scathing criticism of his policy. Weary and overwrought with the labours and anxieties of his office, his mind seemed, at this last insult, to lose its balance; and, jaded and angry, when Petrobey arrived under guard at the time appointed, he refused to see him. When this message was delivered to him, the old chieftain was petrified with rage and mortification. Was it for this that he, the Bey of the Maina, had consented to demean himself by asking pardon of a Corfiot upstart? Was he, a Mavromichales, forty-nine of whose kinsmen had fallen in warfare with the Turk, to plead in vain for pardon in the ante-chamber of a man who had never struck a blow for Greece? Speechless with anger, the proud old man was led back through the streets to his prison. On the way he passed in front of the house occupied by his son George and his brother Constantine. Here a sudden thought struck him. He paused, and called out, Tib eras
ASSASSINATION OF CAPODISTEIAS 367 al' (' Ho there, children!') At the sound of his voice the two hurried to the window, and, leaning out, asked him how he fared. The old man only pointed to his guards, said, in a voice choked with passion, ' You see how I fare ! and passed on. But the ' Mavromichales had understood. The code of the Maina allowed them, under the circumstances, only one course of action. Their chief, and the head of their family, had received a wrong, and this must be wiped out in blood. The resolution to assassinate the President was, indeed, not a new one. The Mavromichales had already received wrongs enough at his hands to abundantly justify this act in their eyes ; and they had long since, by the connivance of their guards, provided themselves with weapons for the purpose. They now determined no longer to delay their action. On Sunday morning, the 9th of October, Capodistrias rose, as usual, at five o'clock, and, after devoting an hour to work, proceeded, accompanied by his onearmed servant, Kokonis, and a soldier named Leondas, to the Church of St. Spiridion to hear mass. On the way he was passed by Constantine and George Mavromichales, who saluted him hurriedly, and hastened on to the church. This was already full of worshippers, and the two Mainotes took up a position, one on each
