MADRID, July 17.—A deputation from the cor-
poration of Seville, accompanied by the deputies
forth
3,0 that
tprooo vincesand bearing a petition signed by
nearly persona, waited yesterday upon the
Duke of Valencia, to entreat him to use his influ-
ence with the Queen to stop the executions in An-
dalusia. That enough has certainly been already
done to strike terror and deter from similar insur-
rection will ba admitted by all who read the fol-
lowing paragraph from the Constitucional of
Cadiz :

"The prisoners were conducted in carts to the Prado
'of St. Sebastian. There they were drawn up in line,
and a company fired upon them. It happened that the
►olley killed two persons, who, eluding the vigilance ci
the sentinels placed to keep the ground, had got in rear
of the criminals. The deaths that had taken place in
consequence of the insurrection amount to 98 ; 25 in
the affair of Benaojan ; one shot in the first instance in
Seville ; 24 on Saturday ; 18 on the 13th ; 15 at
Utrera ; 13 at Arabal ; and the two killed by accident.'

TIE lONIAN ISLANDS.

i into office, and. if they are dropped I should not
hold the place.
PHILLIPPAS —The petition, it is said, has been
put in circulation for the last three months. I
suspect therefore that the police has been conniving
at it.

DANDOLO-If a petition bad been circulating
praying fur a union with Greece, the police would
have seized it and torn it, Why do the police of
the Advocate-General not perform their duty in
in the present instance ?
ADVOCATE-GENERAL—This takes me unawares ;
no proposition hag been laid on the table. I re-
quire time to answer.

- LOMBARDO—The police have no right to interfere,
each lonian has the right of petitioning. But no
Corfuote, I am sure, has the most distant wish to
see Corfu become an English colony ; and there is
none in the other islands who is not horror-struck
by such an idea. [Many voices repeat, " There is
none.") Not only is every lonian ready to make
use of every means in his power to object to any
petition for colonisation, but he is at the same time
willing to sign with a pen dipped in his own blood,
" That union with Greece is our sole wish and de-
nte." [The President got up, and with him all
the members of the house, crying, with enthusiasm
" Yes, yes, yes."] Let us, therefore, prove to the
foreigner, what we have already proved, that what
is most grateful to us is to get rid of his protection.
Curd—lf a petition praying for the union with
Greece bad been circulating, the Government would
not have left a stone untouched to discover it.
Why does the Government take no steps at pre-
sent ? It is not for the members of Corfu alone to
move ; they must be supported by the'sister islands.
[M. Marino gets up, and with him ail the members
of the other six islands, shouting with enthusiasm,
" We are ready le sacrifice all we have for oursister
Corcyra, and for twe whole Greek nation."] Who will
be surety for the tranquility of this place? But let us
put a stop to all other proceeding as a demonstra-
tion of our sentiments towards the Government
and the protection.
DANDOLO,--I propose that M. Candoni and the
inspector of police be summoned and examined
before the house.

MARINO—I agree with M. Dandolo, and propose
further—first that a committee of inquiry be ap-
pointed ; secondly, that the Government be in-
vited to inform us what it knows of the subject-
matter, and what steps have been taken by the
same.

YALAJRITI-If such an infernal plot has been
contrived I scorn half measures, but am ready to go
thither where the question may be solved at once,
sacrificing for that purpose the last penny I pos-
sess, my children, and all that I have.
PA DOVAN—I assure you that if any base creature
who shall have participated in the scheme should
happen to put his foot on any part of the country
where I have influence he shall find his grave there,
for the grave is the proper place for such abomin-
able and flagitious beings.
.LOMBARDO—We have voted to-day unanimously
our national resurrection. Thanks to you, Mr.
President, you have been the first to rise and vote
for it ; thanks to you, members of the house, and
particularly to you, Cefalonist4, you have been
amongst the first to declare that you subscribe with
your blood the unio❑ with Greece. Who dare now
say that the foreigner can find any support in these
islands ?

PRETENDERI—FIe can find none.
LOMBARDO —W th enthusiasm and unanimity we
have voted our national resurrection ; hencefor-
ward, therefore, it is by force only that the pre-
sent political system can be kept up. Order, there-
fore, that our proceedings of to-day be printed
forthwith.

The house unanimously ordered the printing
thereof.

ADVOCATE-GENERAL—We are a Greek independ-
ent State like Greece, with the sole difference thlt
we are under Brai-h protection. We all wish for
the greatness and the glory of the nation ; but the
question as to when a union with Greece and the
whole nation will take place, must be thcided by
time and by circumstances.

The house unanimously appoints a committee of
inquiry, and is adjourned.
