A Mail from Malta arrived this morning. Ita
contains the following interesting article respecting'
the lonian Islands :
lONIAN ISLANDS.-CORFU, APRIL 27.

On the 23d of this month Baron, E. Theoloky,
Prebident of the Senate of Corfu, pronounced in the
hearing of a great concourse of persons of all classes,
whom the 6olemnity of the day had collected in the
Church of our illustrious Saint, an eloquent Oration
in Greek which deeply affected the audience and
filled tfieir minds with joy. To satisfy the desires
both of many pf those who heard it and of others
who were nut present, we give a translation, which
however inferior to the orieinalp willgive our Readers
an idea of it.

The following are some of the most remarkable
passage,' of this Speech:.
.64 The Treaty of Paris stipulated between two
Ministers of Enitland and two of Russia, one of
whom is our esteemed tallow citizen, rendered us
happy by honouring us with the protection of GICA
Bt itain.

66 From the remote times sung by Homer, no
period has been bettsr calculated than the present to
render us happy.
" Read our history in ancient and modern histo-
rilins, remember what has happened to us within 30
years ; you will see that we have passed the best part
nf our lives in feuds and discord, or under arhitrAry
and fluctuating Governments, sometimes as subjects
of foreign nations who desp!sed us, and sometimes
protected by nations who sincerely desired our wel-
fare, but were too remote to contrihote to it."

thin proceeds to prove, that in ow present
situation of the Islands, no Power can afford them
by its protection such advantages as Groat Mum,
ou account of its wealth, its maritime strength, its
extensive commerce, its eminence in agriculture, arts,
and manufactures.

'G None of the Eiropean nations have done us the
justice we merit in such a degree as the English
writers in their works; they alone saw and acknow-
ledged in us those good qualities, which the French,
the Germans, the Italians, the Russians, have often
sought to depreciate in the wosks. No nation is so
versej in our language as the English are.
46 Rrj ice, then, inhabitants of the lonian Islands
at your twine destiny. Toe Lord High Commis-
sioner of his Britannic Majesty is on the point of ar-
riving here : you will soon see Sir Thomas Mait-
land, whose name cannot be pronounced by us with-
out veneration s with him security and felicity make
their entrance into these Islands. He re-opened our
temples, and will command the restitution of their
property. He removed every obstacle to the com-
merce of our parts, and provisions will again abound
among us. The measures adopted by him, and
carefully enforced by Major-General Phillips, check-
ed the devastati6ns of the plague., and make ns hope
to see it. wholly eradicated. He will restore you
your Bishop, anJ the Ecclesiastical Order will have
its legal establisbusent. Our orthodox Church will
flourish, and will have the preference before every
other. Aristocratical laws will no
.longer corropt
your manners, but you will have free and just laws,
like those which govern great nations ; and you will
see chosen to execute them the wisest and most up-
right men, the Istbers, the Friends of the people.
GG Your industry will revive—your 4griculture will
improve—you may export your own productions in,
your own vessels, and an unconquered Bag will se-
cure your commerce against every insult.
4' The ports of England, opened to us, will offer
us particular advantages. . Our cities will become
flourishing.; our country will
.become the resort of
merchants, artists, and learned men. Hospitals will
be established for the poor and infirin; public schools
for our youth; and libraries which will dispense the
treasures of ancient and modern literature. The
Someign who protects us, in rendering as
worthy of his favours, will render as worthy of oar
ancestor s, and we shall live.perfectly happy."
