So they' become a sort of Raj in exile instead of the HEIC of the mutiny.If 1839 is our definite date, HEIC India still was relatively open to natives and to mixed marriages. The policies of evangelism, religious antagonism and racialism didn't really start until the 1840s. If the relationship with London becomes - strained - then it's very possible it stays that way.
The USA was sympathetic to the rebellion, but made no moves towards a filibuster. There would be feelers for statehood, but it would have to be like Texas (i.e. the new republic asks, not the US invades - Canada's 1812 victimhood complex is ridiculous).Not sure about Canada under those circumstances. The rebellion has been definitively put down by that point; even the USA probably sees that the opportunity has been missed.
There were no settlers whatsoever in Oregon territory at that point. There are slight chances of the US swooping in, but without the Columbia gold rush, neither side is going to be rushing for it.The ownership of the Oregon Teritory has not been settled yet. I wonder if the USA demands the whole thing from the new British Government?
If the RN chooses Country over King, any invasion is - unlikely. Louis-Philippe isn't going to go for it. Off the top of my head, I suspect Prussia, Russia and Austria lack the naval capacity to do so anyway.
Of course, it could also suffer as the french navy did: loss of officers in mutinies and the like. But Louis-Philippe is probably not going to risk giving the republicans ideas, his reign is fragile and he's not going to go it alone.
