The Russians, the King of England, and the French demanded obedience and agreed to force Greece to be independent, demanding tribute from them every year as it happened. And the renewal of the boundaries of transgression, and they gave the Sultan a deadline not exceeding thirty days, during which no war would occur. And when the Sultan learned of the terms of this treaty, he became angry and refused to fight until they returned to obedience. And they unanimously informed Khorshid Pasha of the fight against the rebels and to reclaim the fortresses and castles in their possession. And the three powers responded to the deadline. So they turned their sea vessels to the coasts of Greece and wrote to Prince Ibrahim to cease fighting, but he did not pay attention to their pleas, saying that the Sultan's decree and the envoy carrying the news to the Sublime Porte had been issued. So the ships of the Izab spread out in the port of Tauris and prevented Ottoman and Egyptian ships from leaving, and they intensified the prohibition. Then they fired their cannons at the Ottoman and Egyptian ships and signaled the wind to fight. So the two parties engaged, and the battle intensified, and the cannons roared, and the fog lifted and darkened the sky. News of what happened reached the Sublime Porte, so the Sultan mobilized and was horrified by this matter, withdrawing all his army and returning to Egypt. So he left with those who accompanied him and returned on some Egyptian ships to the city of Alexandria. Then, after that, what happened between the Ottoman Empire and the parties occurred, so they held a conference in London, the capital of the English, to establish a basis for the independence of Greece, and they asked the Sultan to send an envoy from his side, but he refused. And he insisted on his opinion, so they did not care and repeated what they had said about the sale of the lands of Greece from the subjects of the state, so it was established from that time and settled and was not destroyed, and they pledged to pay tribute of five hundred thousand qirsh, which was converted to the Sultan's tribute every year. And the Sultan was preoccupied with fighting the Russians, neglecting Greece and bringing them back to obedience. The war between the two parties lasted for a long time, then it became clear that the Sultan's armies had been defeated, so the Sultan's army retreated in search of peace. After much back and forth, the agreement was made that Russia would obtain many privileges and rights, and the Sultan recognized the independence of the Greek lands and their kingdom, and all the privileges that were decided at the conference in London, the capital of England.
