(SIR H, STORKS TO MR CARDWELL.)
(Received June 10 )
Marlborough, at Sea, Tune 2.

hs.ve the honour to acquaint you that the Greek
troops at stint,cl tor theq,nian Loands arrived in C.nu yts.•
terday atternom about 5 o'clock, wader the cicumand at
Lieut.. Gen, Pi.a. They wen; cnivoyed in one steamer, and
amountA to 830 rank and fi.e, composed of Artillery, Gen
darmerie, and tun Ist Regiment at Infantry.
A large crowd was as,embled to welcome the troops,
vho were cheered louity as they steamea past the walls to
the anchorage.
The band played "God save the Queen," when the
steamer entered the port, and all passeu uff quietly.

This morning early preparations were made for the eel-
berc‘tion of her Majesty's tete .pe and for my departure from
Corfu. The 9th Regiment, with the women, children, and
baggage of the regiments composing the garrisoa of Corfu,
had been embarked the day before. The 2.1 battalion 4th
ttegine nt went on board at 10 a.m., at.d by 11 o'clock ail
the arrangements required to carry our. the programme
agreed between the Commissioner of the Government of his
Hellenic Majesty and myself were c nepleted.
Vast crowds had assembled on tno esplanade and lined
the walls, occupying every elm whence a view of the pro-
ceedings could be ub ainen.
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 assembles 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 lett tne vitae, to embark in my
barge. The crowd assembled was immense; 1 never re-
member to have seeds° many persons collected together iu
Corfu on any former occasion. The cheering was deafening,
and the marks of sympathy and g iod will which I receive()
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 uu-
likely to have showin emotion on such ..n 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 usual salutes, the British guards were relieved by Greek
troops, the British colout s lowered, and the Greek flag run
up on the forts; salutes followed as laid down in the pro.
gramme. The British flags were marched off and embarked
wift guards of honour, under the personal superintendence
of the Major-General commanding the troops. At ten
minutes to 2 o'clock, all being on board, her Majesty's ships
Marluorough, Me•muee, 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 bee 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 Britieh protectorate of th4lonian States.
It is impossible to loik back tO British rule in these
islands, which has lasted for nearly half a century, without
b ing convinced thatEagland has dealt generously with the
lonians, and faithfully discharged the aiduetas and respon-
sible duties she accepted in 1815.
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, 1859, and I trust that her. Majesty's
Government will approve the wanner in which these duties
have been performed.—l have, ece.,

Duwning.street, Jane 22.

Sir,—I have received with great satisfaction your de-
spatch of the 2d inst., iu which you report your departure
from Corfu, and the evacuation of the lowan Islanzis by
the Btitish troops. . .

The very Interesting account which you have given of the
conduct and spirit of the people on that remarkab!e 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, all have encou-
raged in the breasts of the lonian paople those sentiments
of gratitude and attachment towards the British Crown
which they have now so honourably displayed.
For your services, therefore, during the continuance ci
your clThe, and for the skid with which you have dis-
charged the delicate task of bringing that (,face to a close,
I have the pleasure to convey to you her Majesty's entire
approval.—l have, &c.
EDWARD CARDWELL.
