lONIAN ISLANDS.

The Oefereators Trivtitto publishes the news from
Corfu of Sept. 13, u follows:
The insurrection in the lonian Islands is to be regarded
as completely quelled in consequence of the energetic
measures employed. A. stall band of about forty in-
surgents have Red to the mountains, where, however.
they must soon eurrendor to the soldiery surrounding them.
Several mentions by martial law have already taken place,
to be loon followed by others.
It is difficult to account for such senseless behaviour on
the port of the Cephalenisna. Seine think that the whole '
insurrection was got up by the courery people eager for
plunder; others are of opinion that the cause must be looked
for in the desire of throwing off the English protectorship and
of unities themselves to Greece. The most probable IMAM
seems to us to be the following : There can be no doubt
that • secret society exists in Greece. which is striviag to ef-
fect • ;revolution. Weida this Greek propaganda, whose
object it is to maintain the constitutional monarchy
under Hie( Otho, but at the same time to increase
the Greaten kingdom at the expense of Turkey, there is
another party that is also working in secret for the formation
of a Orellan republic. Bath societies have their partisans in
the lonian Islands, and "thistly
.among the youths who
form the Gloving lonia,' the major portion of whom have
received their education in Paris, which mean., in other
words, that they have been crammed with ideas about
' communism.
The national efforts of this new period have only rendered
more beanie and glowing the wish that has always misted
Ise er wan ISA Greece, to width must be added the
aversion held for the English protectorship. for of
this the islanders were never penis:Wady enamoured.
The Gawk hankering after revolution consequently
found • sleep 'the% is feeling in the lonian Is-
lands; the Hellenic propecaode were nen=
successful in obtaining numerous adheren's in C !pill
and Unto, for the customs and manners on *see tees
islands are memo( a Grecian nature than in Corfu, when
Italian habits prevail. They tried to corrupt the lower
dames by ideas of communism • the Cephalonisa
press was constantly giving inflammatory Irticles against the
English imminent, and they move to make the people
believe that it had become the sovereign people, and that
horses the time had come for that people to declare to what
state it wished and intended to belong for the future.

VENEZUELA.

The following are the particulars of the downfall
and surrender of Pacz, the Venezuelan patriot :
The general having advanced as far as Vallesito,
discovered that the loyalty and enthusiasm evinced
towards him by the people of Venezuela on his ar-
rival at Caro, and on which he had counted for cue-
osse, were considerably abated, 500 adherents being
all that were with him at this critical juncture. Dis-
appointed in the expectation of hiving his army
increased, and discouraged by the hopelessness of his
situation, he resolved on the 14th of August to surren-
der himself toGeneral Sylva, who bad advanced within
halta-day's march of Paez an 4 Lis faithful followers.
With this view he fent a letter to General Bytes, and
the day after, he and his two sons, Doctor Quintero,
and several officers, surrendered themselves to Gene-
ral Sylva, in the town of Monagas. The prisoners
were subsequently corducted under escort to
Carac-
au, where General Prez remained, charged with
high political oft.ems against the state.
