It regrets, therefore, that it cannot offer you anopportunity of giving further proof of the noble and generoussentiments which animate you in favour of Greece. The Government willmake it its duty to convey to the National Congress your offer to cedeyour rights in the corvette _Hydra_ and the schooner _Athenian_, andin the 20, 000l. Which Greece was to pay you on the acknowledgment ofher independence. It doubts not that the Congress will value at itstrue worth all the nation's debt to you, and ...that it will adopt themeasures which you propose for succouring the families of the Greekseamen who have fallen in the war. The future of Greece is in thehands of God and of the Allied Powers. You have taken part in herrestoration, and she will reckon you, with sentiments of profoundgratitude, among her first and generous defenders. " A day had not passed, however, before Lord Cochrane had fresh proof ofthe worthlessness of that pretended gratitude. Information havingreached Messrs. J. And S. Ricardo, the contractors for the Greek loanof 1825, that the new Government contemplated repudiating the debt, they had written to Lord Cochrane, begging him to bring the matterbefore Capodistrias, and represent to him the injustice to thestock-holders and the discredit to Greece that would result from suchan act.
