§ MR. BAILLIE COCHRANESir, I hope the House will allow me to express the regret with which I learn that my remarks the other evening were misunderstood by some of Mr. Scarlett's friends. So far from reflecting on his conduct, I may venture to say that, under great difficulties and with the most ambiguous instructions, no Minister could have acted with greater ability, judgment, and discretion; and, while I retract nothing from my criticisms on Lord Russell's policy, I am still happy to be able to add that it is the opinion of the Greek gentlemen with whom I have been in constant communication that Mr. Scarlett and Mr. Elliot, by their wise and prudent counsels, gave a great support to the admirable attitude of the Greek nation throughout these trying circumstances.
