LONDON, SATURDAY, JANUARY 31, 1824.

The French journals of Tuesday contain a proclamation
of Sir Thomas Maitland's, the Lord High Commissioner
of the lonian Isles, in perfect accordance with the spirit
with which he has for years administered his government
in thew islands. This proclamation is dated from Corfu,
on the 20th of last December, and will be found in our
columns. It states that, on the 10th and 12th of that
month, one of the most flagrant violations had taken place
of the territory of Santa-Mauna and Ithaca, by some armed
Greek vessels, under the conduct of a man called the Prince
lfavrocordato, in opposition to every recognised principle of
neutrality and the rights of nations. In consequence, the
High Commissioner, with strong expressions of his most
high displeasure, orders these two islands to undergo a
penalty of quarantine, and to be shut out from all comma_
nication with the other islands for no less a period
than thirty days; and the Inspector-General of thc
Department of Health is ordered to transmit imme-
diately the necessary orders to that effect. His Excel-
lency then declares the expressive grief be feels for the
inconvenience and injury that will be sustained by the two
islands from this arbitrary measure, and gravely talks of
the independence of the lonian islands, placed under the
protection of his British Majesty, being compromised by
men who profess to combat for their liberty, and would
render his government—if it passed by " the man called
Maurocordato's" touching on the shores of barren Ithaca,
in silence—an accomplice in those frightful massacres and
horrible atrocities that on this occasion (the High Commis-
sioner asserts) and on many others, have marked the con-
duct of the parties engaged in this contest. The Cos•
stitutionncl has an indignant paragraph on this arbitrary
proclamation. It dwells markedly on Sir Thomas Mait-
land's designation of the Greek Prince as an individual
called Prince Maurocordato. The latter, the French Pa-
per remarks, possessed that title among the Greeks, 44
Fanar, when the) were subject to the Turkish yoke; but
since his countrymen shook off that detested bondage,
and he attached himself to their standard, the Prince be-
came a simple citizen, and resigned every appendage that
could recall the former slavery of his country. Sir Thos.
Maitland (the Paris paper states) complains bitterly of a
people engaged in the combat for liberty, violating the
rights attached to freedom in another. We recognise (the
Ccnst it utionnel adds) as strongly as the British Governor,
the difference between free principles and a tyrannical
Government. But this paper cuttingly asks, " hit on the
coasts of Epirus, in the face of Parga, and in the neigh-
bourhood of Italy, that an English Governor can thus ex-
press himself before all Europe ? We do not yet know what
mighty infringement of the lonian independence Prince
Maurocordato committed, when on his way to Western
Greece to relieve Missolonghi : he might have touched at
Santa. Maura, or Ithaca, and its inhabitants, with the
feelings that must animate them in the same cause,
might have supplied his little 'squadron with provisions
or ammunition ; and for this they are condemned to a
quarantine of thirty days, under the name of British
protection !—for the sovereignty of those Islands is not vest-
ed in the Crown of Great Britain: we are only their pro-
tectors. But it is of a piece with the whole conduct of Sir
Thomas Maitland since he assumed the government. It
is for this statues have been raised to him ; and such a pro-
clamation he calls neutrality between the hapless Greeks
and their ruffian oppressors ! ll'ho can wonder if the people
of Santa-Maury and Ithaca, or of Cephalonia, Zante, or
Corfu, had manifested their zeal for the success of that
great cause, which, if triumphant, rescues their country-
men from the bondage of centuries, and gives their com-
mon country again a glorious existence and a name? And
this is guilt in the eyes of Sir Thomas Maitland, and calla
for the arbitrary proclamation and measures he has adopt-
ed! If this be British protection, what is Turkish oppres-
sion? for we can see little difference, as the High Commis-
sioner interprets the former. But in despite of his pro-
clamations and quarantines, Greece will be free; and she
is acquiring new strength every day.
The following letter from Bayonne reached us last night.
It states the death of Casa Irujo, which had been hourly
expected : his dissolution frees the deceased Minister, who
is said to have been "an honest, worthy man," from a
world of cares; but his decease will make no change in
the Government while Ferdinand reigns supreme. The
report of the cession of the Balearic !ales to Russia is again
renewed in this letter ; and the arrival of a Russian contin-
gent in Spain, to keep down the provinces, is talked of con-
fidently. We do not credit this report. Muis nous verreme.
BAYOX XE, J eY U ARY 22.
We have letters from Madrid of the 10th. The death of Cass
frujo, the Prime Minister, though matter of regret, as lie was an
honest, worthy man, makes but little sensation, considering him
merely as Minister. The King continues to issue decrees, some
of which relate to the finances, which are the weak part of his ad.
ministraticn. It is affirmed that he has also created a Prevotal
Court, the secret powers of which will be almost unlimited, and
which will have to proceed with th.: utmost rigour against whatever
has the appearance of being Constitutional.
We learn from Segovia, that assistance has been called for in all
haste against a mutiny of the artillery of Ciudad Rodrigo, prisoners
at Alpinac, who sing the Tragula, and cry, " Death to the King,
and the t'onstitution for MET!" The poor militiamen continue to
be harassed. At Cuenca they cannot venture to leave their dire!.
