A letter from Venice of the 18th tilt. furnishes na with the
followitig particular relative to the late disturbance an the
lonian Islands, whirls had been at first represented as an or-
ganized insurrection :—" It appears that a spi►it a diatom-
tent ■nd disalrecti ~,,, originating in a variety of grievaucPs.
11.3 s fur some time existed in those isl Ands. Towards the rod
of Almost last, Ceu►ral Adam, Sir Thomas Msilland'a
foram testes in his abaence, having been informed that that
spirit bad suddenly smutted a more serious and decisive elm-
easier in the island of ?sate, proceeded thither with-
out delay from Corfu, the seat of government, with a strong

were embarked on hoard of a frigate, anJ other armed yes-
ark. On his arrival souse of the principal and moot wealthy
of the itthshitants or the town, together with three priest.,
and about 40 country people, were arrested, moil sent to Corfu,
where they remained closely colonised in the citadel. Anomie
other causes of dissatisfaction Site sequestration of the church
dumdum is mentioned as having principally contributed to
this manifest•liun oriliseontest in the people of &Me, who
ascribe to the demands weeessary fur the support of as ex-
pensite government, •mad the erection of sumritluons palaces,
the adoption of measures so oppressive and so uniseisal."

In consequence of the verdict obtained against

Since Mrs. NIULRAIN has been imprisoned (one
year and right months), she has lost her father. her
brother, and a son. The former died worth consi.
&wattle property, and owing, it is supposed, to her
appsrent misconduct, left her entirely unprovidtal
for. Mrs. Mut.a.sta, who was sent to prison for
two years, is um, liberated, but, we are sorry to
hear, without having that home to fly to site might
