As soon as the second session of the four-power negotiations began, the Earl of Clarion emphatically stressed that the Kingdom of Britain would continue to insist on the three conditions proposed in the last meeting, and add another condition to the original three.
That is, Russia must relinquish its protection rights over Turkish Christians, and their safety will be guaranteed only after the four countries (Austria, the United Kingdom, France, and Russia) reach an agreement with the Turkish government.
Facing the four extremely harsh peace conditions presented by the Earl of Clarion on behalf of England and France to the Russian Empire, Count Orlov clearly could not accept them.
Once Count Orlov accepts these conditions, his political life will come to an end the moment he takes them on.
Neither His Majesty Nicholas I in the court nor the Pan-Slavist faction at home would tolerate him continuing to stay in the political arena of the Russian Empire.
