In January 1732, at Versailles, Orlyk's memorandum was discussed and he was again entrusted with a new mission to meet with the Tartar Khan. As he was preparing to travel to Crimea, Pylyp Orlyk secured for him a Polish version of a document known as "Project of Peter" which revealed a 1711 Muscovite plan of expansion to the South, including the Crimean peninsula. For his second trip to the East, Hiyhorii Orlyk traveled through Smyrna, Constantinople, Kaffa and Bakhchesarai, the Crimean capital.

For the remaining twenty-five years of his life (1735-1759), Hryhorii Orlyk remained attached to the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, offering his expertise through "memoires".
