EXTRACT OF A LETTZR FROM MALTA, DATED SEPTEMBER 29. " We are all in a state of bustle and alarm at this place. The artillery and other regular troops are or dered to Messina—the former have already embarked, and the latter are preparing to follow—leaving the garrison of this island to a tew marines, invalids, and a native force, We have, however, nothing to fear, while we have a single wooden castle floating_ so near us.

According sto the last medical returns 1 have seen, there are not more than 13,500 sick, in stead of between 18 and 19,000, which there. were. The disorder was net very fatal, and consequently carried off only a few. Our army is gone into canton ments, and amounts in British force to about 35,000.
