[Stratford Canning; Pasha of Janina; Mediterranean Fleet] Autograph Letter Signed Stratford Canning to Lt. General Sir George Berkeley about negotiations with the Pasha of Janina.
Two pages, 4to, in narrow frame of stiffer paper. I am happy to learn from yr correspondence with the Admiral that your negotiations with the Pasha of Janina have been quite successful. I felt that a letter from the Great Vizier expressed in general terms would answer every practical purpose; and I have now only to hope, in full [concurrence?] with Sir Edward Owen's opinion that the service to be performed under the regulations agreed upon will be carried into effect with moderation and a never-failing regard to the maintenance of our present most friendly relations with the Sultan and his Empire. Your Excellency will, I am confident, entertain the same impression as myself upon this important point. Note: I have failed to get information about this Pasha, and the negotiations. The mention of Sir Edward Owen, appointed Commander-in-Chief, Mediterranean Fleet on HMS Queen in 1841 suggests something to do with the Royal Navy in the Mediterranean.
