EFFECT OF TIIF. INDIAN MUTINY IN
GREECE AND THE lONIAN ISLANDS.

(TROY AN OCCA6IONAL CORMIAPONDENT.)

ATHENS, OCT. 23.

The scenes of riotous sedition which took place at
Corfu on the arrival of the first news of the Indian

mutiny are still fresh in the memory of the public.
There was an outcry against the British government ;
there was a demand for an instant abolition of the
Protectorate, and for an union of the lonian Islands
with the kingdom of Greece. These feelings, so far
from having decreased since then, seem on the con-
trary to have augmented in intensity. Exaggerated
accounts of reverses of the British army in India
have been circulated amongst the lonian people; for
them the approaching downfall of English power
has been confidently predicted, and the glorious day
which is to witness the union of the entire Greek
race, and the dieparition of the British flag from the
Seven Islands, has been declared to be near at hand.
Emissaries have been sent by the leaders of this
agitation into Greece, and into every country where
it was supposed that a revolt against British
power would meet with sympathy and support.
The agents of some of the Foreign Powers
who are resident in Greece have given encourage-
ment to the movement, but that encouragement is
exclusively confined to them. The Greek people
have learned by bitter experience the evils which
may result from setting themselves up in opposition
to the Western Powers, and they have rejected this
appeal to a fraternal coalition as the vicious and
unprincipled scheme of corrupt and designing men.
No thinking Greek believes in the sincerity of this
my for a Union, even supposing such a thing to be
possible, and there is no thinking Greek but is aware
that the leaders of the movement are those who have
the least faith in the principle they profess to advo-
cate. One of the great sources from which money
poured into Greece in support of the insurrection in
Epirus is now open to the lonians, and it is that
money, and that alone, which moves the instigators
of a revolt in the Seven Islands. Is it to be supposed
that an lonian, with his pretensions to Venetian no-
bility, his European tastes and education, with all
the social advantage, which see to be found in a
prosperous country and under a stable and well-
organised government, would be ambitions of Deem&
ing the subject of a bankrupt kingdom, with
few resources, and of living under the rule
of a government which preserves a strong
leaven of orientalism in its forma and its
notions ? The refined lonian would naturally
aspire to govern, but he would meet with a fierce
and ,jealous opposition from thenative Greek ; for the
spirit which dictated the law for the Autochthones
and the Heterochtones is an element in the national
character. Things, however, have, of late, assumed
so grave a character in the lonian Islands, that
Lord Lyons has removed into the neighbourhood
with his fleet.
Let us now contrast the conduct of the Greek court
and the Greek people with that of our protected fel-
low-subjects the lonians. By this day's mail KinF
Otho sends to the Lord Mayor of London from his
prieate purse 4001., for the nlief of the sufferers from
the Indian mutiny, and he has, moreover, directed
the following ordinance to be made public throughout
the kingdom:
The unheard-of misfortunes which have lately gales
upon the Chrimians of Biltish India having come to our
knowledge, sad observing also the general sympathy which
these misfortune. have produced amongst the Inhabitants of
the kingdom, who are moved not only by a spirit of philan-
thropy and Christian charity, but to by that feeling of
profound gratitude which they entertain towards England for
the noble aid she gave them during the war of independence,
we, at the proposition of our Minister of the Interior, have
(leaded that the bloroarche be ordered to open subscription
lists throughout the country in favour of the victims of this
barbarous mutiny, and after having collected the 11190"611i
they will forward the rum to the aloe of the Home

tint. irintinister of tho Interior is elted with the execution
and the publication of the present oefteitest.

The funeral et °weal Cavaignac took place
today in a manner peawapared with what
was very generally expected, that it might almost be
called private. Thal WIN a talk yesterday of
12,000 troops being ordered to line the streets, and
It was thought that there would be at lout as much
excitement in Paris as there was on the occasion of
the interment of Beranger. Instead, however, of a
great military display, there was only on foot just the
force allotted by the raise of the service to paint:
last honours to • general of division. The
of Mesedor, yyeeaarr XII., to which the Coestilsi-
homer' semiamcial paragraph alluded, when it
announced that General Cavaignae would be interred
with the home:, due to his yank, merely enacts that
reliand odious we entitled at their funeral to the
hooours of the last grade they held in the service.
The 48th and 88th Regiments of the line, a battalion
of Foot Chesney*, and • squadron of the 4th
Humus, the whole commanded by General Soumsin,
constituted the guard of honour of General Ca-
regime's hearse. The neighbourhood of his house,
No. 29, Roe de Landes', was certainly crowded as
the hour for the funeral drew near, but not exces-
sively so. Bodies of police prevented any obstruc-
tions is the limo of the procession. A maw with
mask was performed at the church of St. Louis
d'Actin, to which only thaw furnished with tickets
of invitation by the family were admitted. When
the corpse entered the cemetery of Moatmartre the
mourners of the family only were allowed to follow
immediately. A few minutes later, two or three
hundred persons with tickets were admitted. The
rest of the followers, the number of which may
perhaps have swollen to 8,000 or 10,000, were not
allowed to enter. They dispersed without the
slightest disturbance.
The body was interred in the family vault, where
lie the remains of the general's mother, and his
brother, Godefroy Cavaignae. No speech was pro-
flounced over the grave.
Among the political and private Mends of the de-
emed were most of his colleagues in the govern-
ment of 1848 and many other well-known per-
sonaga The most remarkable were MM. Sensed,
t7dilba 13errot, Creisieux, Durergier de Hauranne,
Frees, Vaslabelle, Bixio, Colonel- Ouinard, Carnot,
Ilufaure, Ferdinand de Lesteyrie, Harm.Dubochet,
Bathyal:et, 'amazon, Jules Simon, de Toequeville,
Generals Ralhieres and l'iat. The pall-bearers
were MM. Goadchatut and Betide (both ex•Minis-
teas), Colonel Guinard, and a workman in • blouse,
awned Bullard, an elector of the circumscription of
Faris for which General Caraignac was recently
elected. The chief mourners were General Stmaislas
Cavaigase, NI. Fermin Cavaignae, and M. de Prissy,
all cousins of the deceased.

Tbs anal military salutes were Bred over the grave.
Its perhaps not generally known that General
amalgam's waif WMr omaidered a good life. When
be was mile a captain in Algeria, a general, M a re-
port speaking of him in terms of high praise, ob-
served that be was an officer who had a great career
before him if his health would permit. In 11139 he
was obliged to leave his regiment for a long while on
account of illness. Ile had long suffered from dis-
ease at the heart.

Thatles 17th of July last he wrote to his friend
M. Sensed that he passed his Ids with a sense
of palpitation and enboo, and punning upon his
malady, said he perceived that nothing in the world
was less grand than agree mow.
The bourse was at the opening favourably affected
by the considerable ries in console, but the highest
prices of the day were not maintained, and there
was a good deal of heaviness at the close. How-
trier, the final prices of the Rente were 67f. 26e., and
elf. 10e., being a rise of 13c. both for cash and
amount. Mobilier rose 7f. 60e. The Orleans
Railway rose 12L 30e.; Lyons of., and the other
line. about 21. 30e.

The Emperor's cousin, the Princess Stephanie
de Bade, has arrired in Paris from Baden Haden.

As soon as Mr. Brett's despatch from Cagliari, an-
nouncing that tie telegraph wee working succor
fully between Bon and Cape Spartivento, in Sardi-
nia, was received in Paris,' despatch was forwarded
to the Emperor at Compiegne to inform him of the
rest event of the opening of telegraphic communi-
cation between Europe and Africa.
On Sunday and Monday last, M. Larribure, go-
vernment candidate (the person of that name who
had &quarrel with M. Migeon in the Haut Ithin),wu
almost unanimously elated as a representative of the
foe Orthez and the arrondireements of Oleron
fnetllasses Pnees, where there was a vacancy
caused by the &oust of the late M. de Belmont
Briancon.

The Oaten* des Tributtaux, contradicting the
assertion of many French and foreign journals, that
Captain Doinean's sentence of death has been com-
muted, feels authorised to declare that no decision
has yet been come to on the subject.
NI. Voisin, the receiver-general of Angers, has
commenced an action against the Journal de Lctiret
for a libel, in reproducing the reports touching his
solvency which were first published by the Journal
de la Mewrtke. The latter journal, as I stated yes-
terday, is to be prosecuted toe" false news."
The three projected new boulevards, to be called
the Boulevards de Monceau:, de Ileaujon, and Saint

decree declaring their formation to be a work of
