The treaty ended the Anglo-Turkish War. The Porte restored extensiveBritish commercial and legal privileges in the empire. The United Kingdompromised to protect the integrity of the Ottoman Empire against the Frenchthreat, both with its own fleet and through weapons supplies to Constantinople.The treaty affirmed the principle that no warships of any power should enterthe straits of the Dardanelles and the Bosporus. The treaty anticipated theLondon Straits Convention of 1841, by which the other major powers committedthemselves to this same principle.Sir Robert Adair GCB (24 May 1763 – 3 October 1855) was a distinguished British diplomat, and frequently employed on the most important diplomatic missions.He was the son of RobertAdair, sergeant-surgeon to George III, and Lady Caroline Keppel, daughter ofWillem Anne van Keppel, 2nd Earl of Albemarle. He was educated at WestminsterSchool and the University of Göttingen, and then studied law at Lincolns Inn, but hardly practised as a barrister.He hoped to gain officeas Under-secretary of State to Charles James Fox, but he was in opposition.Following the French Revolution, he travelled in Europe, visiting Berlin, Vienna, and St Petersburg to study the effects of the revolution and equiphimself for a diplomatic career.He became Whig Member ofParliament (MP) for Appleby (1799–1802) and Camelford (1802–12).In 1805, he made adisastrous marriage to Angélique Gabrielle, daughter of the marquis de l'Escuyerd'Hazincourt (known as ‘Talleyrand's spy’), but this kept him out of officewhen Fox returned to government. Instead Fox sent him to Vienna. In June 1808, George Canning transferred him to Constantinople. He was created a KCB in thatyear for his services there. He was appointed a Privy Counsellor in 1828.He was employed inBelgium from 1831 to 1835, where he succeeded in preventing a war betweenBelgium and The Netherlands. This exploit won for him the rank of GCB and apension of £2000 per year from 1831, and also the Grand'cross of the Belgianorder of Leopold in 1835. He then visited Prussia.
