There was, however, one point which 2i2 THI'J DTPLOMATW nEMINISGENCES appeared to him to be opposed to the Constitution to which the King was bound — namely, the freedom for Greek subjects to fit out vessels for purposes of trade. Count Bismarck was convinced that the Russian Government were sincere in their desire to bring about a settlement of the differences. On the 22nd of December my French colleague and I dined with the King. His Majesty expressed to us both his satisfaction that the Port...e had agreed to grant a further delay for the expulsion of the Greek subjects residing in Turkey, and His Majesty seemed to entertain a hope that the quarrel between Turkey and Greece would be satisfactorily arranged. For this end, His Majesty said, it was most desirable that a perfect agreement should exist between the European Powers. The Turco-Greek Conference met at Paris. In conversation with me on its deliberations Count Bismarck referred to the withdrawal from the Con- ference of the Greek Plenipotentiary, and observed that the Porte might fulfil its threat of retiring likewise, unless all the points of its ultimatum were accepted ; in which case he was of opinion that the Powers sliould continue their deliberations and come to a verdict, and prevent a conflict between the two litigants — or, as he termed it, the Powers should act in the character of the European police.
