The Ionian Islands, though called a Colony, are, strictly speaking, an independent state, under the protection of Great Britain. It has its own Parliament; and maintains from its own resources both the civil and military establishments, and provides a civil list for the Lord High Commissioner and his suite. So far as we are enabled to judge, its ordinary expenditure costs Great Britain nothing. Our notice will, therefore, be very brief.
