The British Protectorate of the lonian

Islands.

The following despatcnes, published yesterday,
describe officially the closing scenes of the British
Protectorate in the I in tan IsidAs
:
(No. 10.)
(SIR 11. STORIES TO MR CARDWELL.)
(Re3eivod June 10 )
Marlborough, at Sea, Tune 2.

Sir,—l have the honour to acquaint you that the Greek
troops destined tor the Lilian Islands arrived in C.,rtu yes•
terday afternoon about 5 o'clock, under the command of
Lieut.. Gen, Pita. They were c,raveyed in one steamer, and
amounted to 830 rank and ft e, composed of Artillery, Gen
darmerie, and the Ist Regiment ot Infantry.
A large crowd uas assembled to welcome the troops,
who were cheered. loudly as they steamed past the walls to
the anchorage.

The band played "God save the Queen," when the
steamer entered the port, and all passed off quietly.
This morning early preparations were made for the em-
barcttion of her Majesty's troops and for my departure from
Corlu. The 9th Regiment, with the women, children, and
baggage of the regiments composing the garrison of Corfu,
had been embarked the day belore. The 23 battalion 4th
Regim. nt went on board at 10 a.m., and by 11 o'clock all
the arrangements required to carry out the programme
agreed between the Commissioner of the Government of his
Hellenic Majesty and myself were cmnpleted.
Vast crowds had assembled on the esplanade and lined
the walls, occupying every spot whence a view of the pro-
ceedings co.jld be obtained.
At 11 30 a.m. I entered the throne-room, which was
crowded by the high functionaries of the lonian. States and
others who had assembled to take leave of me. I addressed
a few words of farewell in Italian to those present, and at
ten minutes to 12 o'clock I left tee pqlac3 to embark in my
barge. The crowd assembled was immense; I never re-
member to have seen so many persons collected together in
Corfu on any former occasion. The cheering was deafening,
and the marks of sympathy and goodwill which I received
were most gratifying. A great deal of feeling was displayed
by those present, and tears ran down the cheeks of many
who, to all appearance, would have been considered un-
likely to have shown emotion on such an occasion.
I confess to you that I was much overcome myself, and,
however gratifying were the demonstrations of sympathy
and goodwill which I received, I could not but be affected
in taking leave of those in whom I took a great interest, and
in quitting for ever a country to whose welfare I had de-
voted all my energies for more than five years.
On my reaching her Majesty's ship Marlborough under

the usu;lsslates,ihe British guards were relieved by Greek

troops, the British colours lowered, and the Greek flag run
up on the torts; salutes followed as laid down in the pro •
gramme. Tho British flags were marched off and embarked
wir h guards of honour, under the personal superintendenco
of the Major-General commanding the troops. At ten
minutes to '2 o'clock, all being on board, her Majesty's ships
Marluorough, Mesance, Galatea, Tamar, Himalaya, and
Psyche left the harbour of Corfu, and proceeded to Malta,
except her Majesty's ship from which I am now writing;
which takes me to Catacolo, to meet his Majesty the King
of the Hellenes, accompanied by the Psyche. In the other
islands the troops have all embarked, and at 12 o'clock this
day the evacuation of the lonian Islands was completed.
Thus terminated the British protectorate of the lonian States.
It is impossible to look back to British rule in these
islands, which has lasted for nearly hall a century, without
b-ing convinced that England has dealt generously with the
lonians, and faithfully discharged the a, du,..14s and respon-
sible duties she accepted in 1515.
I have thus concluded the duties of the high office to
which, by her Majesty's most gracious favour, I was ap-
pointed in February, ISA, and I trust that her Majesty's
Government will approve th, manner in winch those duties
have been performed.-1 have, &c.,

MR- C.A.ADWELL TO SIR H. STORRS.
Downing-street, June 22.

Sir,—I have received with great satisfaction your de-
spatch of the 2d inst., in which you report your departure
from Corfu, and the evacuation of the lonian Islands by
the British troops. _ _

The very interestir g account which you have given of the
conduct and spirit of the people on that remarkable occasion
reflects the highest credit upon them, and not upon them
only, but also upon those who have administered in the
name of the Queen the office of the British Protectorate.
You entered upon your duties at a time of difficulty, but
by the exercise of firmness, discretion, and forbearance you
have maintained unbroken tranquillity, and have encou-
raged in the breasts of the lonian people those sentiments
of gratitude and attachment towards the British Crown
which they have now so honourably displayed.
For your services, therefore, during the continuance of
your office, and for the skill with which you have dis-
charged the delicate task of bringing that office to a close,
I have the pleasure to convey to you her Majesty's entire
approval,—l have, &ce.

EDWARD CARDWELL.
