text_original: By the Treaty of Unkiar Skelessi (1833) Russia had lately converted the Black Sea into a Russian lake, and had virtually established herself as Protector and patron of the Porte. She had lately won a diplomatic victory over England at Teheran, and had thwarted an English scheme for the establishment of a new Euphrates route to India. With all these things and with Palmerston's views on them Lord Auckland was familiar.
