;Jake, the lonian liberals have reaped to demand, are
not of so much importance as the fact, which pro-
mise: that the lonian Islands arc at length about to
Outer upon the enjoyment of a true and working
constitutional system.
We have been no favourers of Sir HENRY Wean,
bearing him a sleep mar for the mode in which
the Ceplialimian troubles were put down, and shed-
ding no small censure on the suspension of the con-
stitutional system. But with all this we must admit
that the Ceidirdoniana are u frantic fools as ever,

inflamed by the nationality principles of Pala as
one for Inland would be were the sister island
blessed with the present constitution of France,
and ass English President chosen to administer it.
We are glad to learn. therefore, that there are
strength and sense enough in the practical liberal
party of lonians to set aside, or adjourn, or exile to
the field Or lir moils that ardour for rrerttl, or for
flinging ~11 she English yoke and uniting with
armee, a hieh it is es WOW. at least, that no amount
or fors, of lonian pail could accomplish. If our own
parliams lit wen• to ineet next session and choose to
diaeuss the ilethroneow nt of the (Ire.r.tv and the
restoration of the hcptarrhy, there could be no mode
of going OH with constitutional and parliamentary
govertinsint. That a way has been found, and a
deli • aition likewise to get out of such a vicious
dryly, is satisfactory. It iiiiiii that there are other
beasts in the lonian islands than I eplialonians, and
sienas• sigiiiient to keep down the wild theories propa-
gated in imaginative minds by designing foreigner,.
The tale 'aspic view %hid' We are apt to take in
England of Odor fore ian countries, or of our own
colonic., hut ton often lends us to confisund things
and parties dissimilar. And we have ourselves made
the mistake of manewhat confounding n blind imposi-
tion of English rule in the lonian Greeks with an
enlialos mil and fair reaisitance to that sluggish with-
holding of rapressentative power from its colonies,
whirls lota too general, marked the past policy of
that great department of our administration.
Th.. lonians, however, have had several Lord high

'its Isallle and defeat such insidious conspirators
and ',Owners by bringing the lonians and their
pwrdiuuuout to confide in British generosity, libe-
rality. and justice, is a task worthy of the efforts
of an lonian 141)%vrmitunt. And 'severe as we have
been on some of its &lila, we shall not Ise the last to
admit its success, and to give our novel of 'stelae to
wally liberal efforts for pacifying the country by
conelliation as well as 1111111a:1601h and by rallying
all 'WIWI., of practical views and talents, to join in
a parliamentary government to support it.
Such efforts, we learn that Sir HENRY IV %RD is
making, and we learn this from men strongly op-
pissed to MOOT acts of his past policr, and to almost
all that aaa clone iu the matter of the Cephalonian
outbreak. We have certainly made a sad bungle of

Let us hope that Sir HENKT WARD has found out
the secret. and that we shall henceforth be able to

out the cry of indignation and the blush of sliarne.
