lONIAN ISLANDS.

CORFU, Aeait 27.—0 n the nd of this month
Baron B. Theteky, President of the Senate of
toad, pronounced, in the hearing of a great
eancottrite of persons Of all .elkfises, wham the so-
leinnity Of the day had collected in the church of
our illustriousgaints,arielospentoration in Greek,
which deeply directed the audience, and filled their
minds with jOy. To satisfy tl►e desires 130. th of
many of those who heard it, And of others who
were, not present, We give a translation, which,
ltowever inferior to thi origina*l, will give 'Mir
headers an idea of it.

The followiog are some of the most remaskable
Passages of this speech :

" The Treaty of Paris stipulated between taro
Ministers of I.4.;ngland and two of Itosia, one cif
whom is our eSteemed fellPw-citiien, rendered na
happy, by honOuling tts.‘vltli protectioit of
(heat Britain.

le troru the remote tittles sung by Homer, 0O
period has been better calculated than the pre-
sent to render us happy. '

" Read our bistory in ancient and timdern his-
torians, remember what Ws happened to 116 n Milt)
thirty years, you will see that we have passed the
best part of our liVes itt fends- and discord, or un-
der Arbitrary and fluctuating Govetarments, Some
tithes as subjects of foreign nations who despised
us, and Sometimes protected by nations who sin-
cerely .desired our welfare, but ‘vere too remote
to contribute to it."---Ene then proceeds to prove,,
that in the present situation of the Wands, no
Power can afttna then; by its protection, bitch
advantages as Great Britain, on account of its
wealth, its maritime strength, its extensive com-
Merce, its eminence in agriculture, arts, and ma-
itufactures.)

" None of the European nations have done us
the justice we merit, in such a degree as the Eng-
lish writers in their works ; they alone saw and
acknowledged in us those good qualities which
the French, the Germans, the Italians, and the
Russians, have often sought to depreciate in their
works. No nation is so versed in our language
SS the UnOisliAlte.

" Rejoice then, inhabitants of the lonian Islands,
kit yotir future destiny. The Lord High Com-
missioner of 'his Britannic 'Majesty icon the point
off arriving' beret you will won see Sir Thomas
14,14)014 whose listnle.cannot be pronotipccti by
is without veneration with him. Security and
felicity make their entrance into these islands.
'' lie re-opeticd, out Temples, and will corn-
Man(' the restitution cif their property.

" fle reintived every obstacle to the commeree
of our pits, aml provisions will again abound
oniong us.

The Theasuro adopted by biro, and carefully
enforced by Major-General Phillips, checked thit
devastations of the plague, and wake us hope to
see it wholly eradicated.

" win restore you your Bishop, awl the
Ecclesiastical Older %vat have its legal establish-

;neut.

Our Orthodox Cl►ttrclt wilt flottrislt, and will
bave the preference before every other.
' " Aristocratical laws will no longer corrupt
your mantle's, but you trill have free sod iu,t
Isms like those which govet u peat tiatiallivand
you will' ste clolseti to execute, them, the wisest
and most 'upright men, the latiim, tl►e friends,
tire: people.

,‘ Your industry will revive, • your agricult►►re
will improve, you may export your own produc-
tions its !:our own vessels, and an unconquered
flag wilt secure your collimate against every
insult.

fl The Portb of England opened to us, will carer
us !lA:lit:Aar alltantages. Our cities will become

chants, artist's, tint!, learned men. liospital6
be established for the poor end infirm, padie
schools for the imtruction of our youth, and
libraries which will,disperse 'the treasures of an-
cient and modern literature. The illustrious So-
tereign who protects us in rendering us worthy
or his favours, will render us worthy of our an-
cestors, and we 811411 live perfectly happy."

On the 2,lth Sir Thomas Maitland arrived from
a voyage to the other Islands, and was received
sVith the greatest solemnity and joy. The fol.
lowing day the Senate, the Clergy, SLe. paid their
compliments to his lxcellency, and Baron Theo.
Inky made him a eery handsome Address, to which
sir Thomas made a suitable Reply, Statitl.g, that
of all the ties that bound those Islands to the
fish Crown, the attachment of the. people WKS the
moat precious, and that he should do his utmost
to promote the views of his Borrreigh, which
wen solely directed to their happiness, in which
he reckoned with confidence on their corlinl sup-
port, &c.----;Malta Gazette, Ofra,) 15.)

It is hinted in the Paris Papers received this
mvyning, that the Expedition -fitting'cit at Con-
stantinople is directed against the DEY of ALGIaIIS,
who it seems has lately paid little attention to the
Firmatms of the GRAND SEIGNIOR. It fllttliCr
appears, that. the excesses of the Pirates hare ex-
cited a very strong sensation in the Mediterra-
nean ; and armaments are preparing in every
tinarter to take, we hope, " INDEMNITY FOR THE
PAI,T AND SECURITY FOR THU FUTI:IRE."

On the part of Great Britain, we understand
That the expedition fitting out for Algiers, under
the command of Lord ExmouTal, will be ready to
Ati,l about the 20th. The activity of the Admi-
ralty is most commendable. Lord EiMOUTH had
a long conference yesterday with the Board; and
many Officers, who are to sail with his Lordship,
have been appointed.

The trial for the Conspiracy of 1816 still accts.
pies the attention of the Court of Assize. Pleig-
nicr, it is suspected, wishes merely to see the King
m order to secure his pardon, according to an an-
cient custom of Court etiquette.
A paragraph- pretending to be from Rome,
speaks in strange terms of Irish Roman Catho•
lie intrigues with the Holy See. We imagine the
insertion of such matters is procured at Paris by
some ill-advised Friend to the Cause.

'rise Malta Mail brings an interesting Article
relative to the lonian isles, which We insert in
a preceding Column.
