Your duties, therefore, are inviolable obedience to the laws, and the most com plete submission to the order s of the Government : these are the virtues which distinguish a good citizen. " Convinced of your bravery and your perseverance, I doubt not that you will henceforward put the seal to the glory which your exploits have already acquired. My duty orders me, at the same time, to recommend to you, to enjoin you, to remain in the positions which you have taken up in the contest with the enemy, and which you now occupy, and not to leave them in any manner, unless by the order of the comretent authori• ties. The performance of this duty will be the most convincing proof of your obedience and your submis- Aon to the laws; a regulation of this nature will serve as a rule for the Provisional Government, till the Na tional Aseembly shall meet, according to the Procla mation already published. wards his subjects, and to mark in a particulae.manner the complete amnesty granted to those who shall re pent of their revolt, his Highness will excuse them the payment of the capitation and other tribute for one year from the day on which th e y s h a ll su b m i t .

On the Bth, the third Parliament of the lonian isl.sad was opened by the Lord High Commissioner, Sir J. Adam, who in his spe,:ch oa that occasion expressed himself as follows : " During the course of the last five years, the deso- lating warfare has been continued without interruption ors the neighbouring of and the Islands of Greece., His Majesty, the Protector of these Islands, animateJ by the ardent wish to put an end to the cruelties with which this war was carried on by both parties, had, in concert with his Allies, proposed an armistice to them, with a view of bringing about a pacification. In the pursuit of this object, a scene of bloodshed occurred which excited great regret (profondo riocregisoulato), but his Mdjesty confidently hopes that nothing more of this kind will occur to those who are engaged in the difficult task of reconciling the Contending parties, and that thus the Treaty of London of 6th July will still attain the object desired.

" The most efficacious measures have been adopted by his Majesty and his Allies to put an end to those scandalous excesses which have been so long practised. in those seas and in the Archipelago, and by which the navigation and commerce of these islands have suffered very considerably. At the same time the most rigorous n easures have been taken to inflict merited punish- . merit on the criminals who have been so active in pro- moting these shameful abuses. The strict neutrajity i which has been observed by these islands since the be ginning of the contest in Gaeece has been constantly maintained, and his Majesty, the protector of these islands, is firmly persuaded that the same wise policy will be persevered in."

" The contents of vitt note have been communicated to his Highness. In tact, as the Patriarch has sincerely . -acknowledged, all the world knows the generosity VI ith which the Rayas, who are established in the Imperial 'provinces, and who are faithful in the observance of the duties as subjects, have been treated. The Greeks of the Morea and the Archipelago, who enjoyed more fa vour than others, and who, under. the shade of the im perial throne, had More perfect tranquillity, whose commerce was freely carried on by land and sea—those Greeks, I say. -far from being sensible . of such advan tages, allowed themselves to be carried-away by vain ideas, and revolted against the Sublime Porte, who had been their parent and benefactor from generation to generation. They withdrew themselves from the peace which they enjoyed, and seemed by their obstinacy to call down upon themselves the severest - penalties.— Nevertheless, the•Stililitne Porte, following the prits• ciples of clemency 'arid humanity by which it has at all times been.gui4ed, has always been slow to punibh, and has never renounced i;s system of mercy while chastising those who per;it in meek, in order to litim.! back the othets to their duty. It is'phyoeally and morally proved, that it has exerted every taint for the welfare of those who submit, by regarding their past conduct as if it had. 'never taken place. If the other Greeks return to their duty, recognizing that they never can succeed in their enterprise; that having hitherto ex perienced only troubles •and misfortunes, they must, if they proceed, it.II uselessly sacrifice themselves, their fortune.; and their lives, and be lost for ever ; If they repent of their former conduct, and im 'plore the pardon of his .Hrghnes., he, on his part, IA ill treat them With all the clemency which the H •ly La w i 1 eltifips• As Wag as these shall ob.erve faithfully their duty as Itayas. they shall . never be troubled or ques tioned- respecting their past offences; their property, lands, and domains, which, according t. , the law, are forfeited, And which are at the disposal of his Highness, shall be, out of pure generosity, restored to the living proprietors, or to the heirs of dead proprietors ; so the lands and territory which they inhabit be-the hereditary and absolute property of the :Sublime Porte, and so his Highness has the right of governing and administering •hem according to iris pleasure, the ancient regulations relative to the -administration of the Aimee, and of other places, and t> the welfare of the inhabitants, shall be confirmed on the same footing, and their strict and constant observance shall be secured.

They shall remain in their ancient `territory; their churches shall be restored to them, and 'in the same manner as heretofore they shall experience i no interruption in the exercise of their wor-hip.

Balance in band, 31st January, MIS . 53,297 3 • The diminution of the Revenot was chiefly occasione4 by the failure of the crop of olives in 1826 (the amount of which' is estimated in 1827), and from the reduced -receipt of the customs, which may be ascribed in a peg measure to the interruption of commerce, caused by the excesses of the . Greek . pirates. The expen diture, though considerable, was •Oluch les; than in 18;16, and a large portion-of it (nearly 25,0004 must be placed to the account of the steam boat purchased for the Government, and to expenses in the island of Calamo (for the relief of the destitute fugitives From Greece). In the course of the present Session the Government will propose considerable reductions in various departments, and also essential alterations in the mode of levying the taxes,. chiefly for the promo tion of commercial intercourse. With respect to the ad ministration of justice, the principle sanctioned by the last Parliament, and partly carried into effect, to fill the places of Judges in the several islands with men not born in the island in which they exercise their office, had been found greatly to contribute to the impartial administration of justice. The Government will now propose to diminish the present number of the Courts of Justice, and to give them a new and less expensive organizition. For this purpose some details of tire Con stitution must be altered in the manner prescribed by that document itself.

When the Lord High Commissioner came to speak of public instruction, he mentioned the great loss which the lonians have sustained by the death of the illustrious Chancellor of the University, Lord Guilford, whi,se active zeal in promoting the education of youth, had ore been confined to the Islands, but had extended over all Greece.

With regard to eccle,iastical , affairs, his Excellency remarked, that since the last Session of Parliament, two Sees, those of Corfu and Zaote ; had become vacant by death, and it had not been yet.praCticable to fill them up, because, after the departure. of . 4i s 111..jesty's Am bassador, the necessary communications with Pa triarch at Constantinople could not take place.' &wild this state i f things be protracted, it wilk be neeestiry to fill up the vacant Sees according to the provisrpps,ef the Act passed in 1825. • •1 .
