My Lord, _Berlin, January_ 24, 1844.
In compliance with the directions contained in your Lordship's
despatch of the 20th instant, I have communicated to Baron Bülow
your instructions to Sir Stratford Canning relative to the late
execution of a Greek at Brussa. Baron Bülow gave me an instruction
to read addressed to M. de Le Coq, which was dated only two days
later than your Lordship's, and which expressed in strong terms his
reprobation of the conduct of the Turkish Government upon this
occasion. Baron Bülow felt the greatest satisfaction at the
statements made by your Lordship, and determined to write again to
M. Le Coq directing him to act in accordance with them. He hopes
that by conduct and language so energetic as that adopted by your
Lordship an impression may be made upon the Turkish Government, and
an end be put to the barbarous cruelties of which it has of late
been guilty.
