The Ionian isles, which command
the entrance of the Adriatic, and concerning
which we have lately had a
refreshing account in the English
newspapers of various whippings,
drum-head court martials, shootings,
&c., inflicted on the native inhabi

of the prey which fall to the lot of
England in the divisions of the spoils

They are now under the 'protection'
of the British government, are dubbod

as it is called, the prerogative
of which is thus described by Mv.
Aubrey De Vere, a late English traveller:

illustrated well the meaning of our
British 'protection,' and the freedom

palace, and the members entered
between files of soldiers, who
gave them a somewhat unceremonious
greeting, as far as 'privilege.' is
concerned, clashing their arms every
moment with emphatic loyalty on
the marble steps. As the president
took his seat, the band was playing
kGod s>ave the King.' The moment
the lord high commissioner had finished
his speech, a loud peal of artil

voice; and the much complimented
and bewildered senators took
I heir departure amid the gleaming of
swords, the glaring of uniforms, and
the prancing of cavalry that charged
up and down the esplanade. On
the whole, the spectacle wasbutpecluresqueand
significant, and would
have met the cordial approbation of
Queen Elizabeth, who marvelled that
the members of the 'nether1 house
should sometimes be betrayed into
meddling with 'matters of State."

very interesting. It would he strange,
if after all that has been said, Pitt
should take from Mecklonburg the

to the latter, as having been the first
to declare her independence of the
