THE STEAMER ORWELL.

(fox ova owlt

MALTA, Ocr. 29.
lalie steamer Orwell was seized at the instigation
of her Majesty's consul at If eosin*, and sent from thence to
Naples, and from Naples to Malta
It appears the captain, who had been left behind at
Genoa, telegraphed to the nand at Manna that the vessel
had been unjustly got prelusion of by some of Guibildi's
agents, on which the consul bad the vessel seized, the
English crew taken out, and the Italian officers and crew
sent prisoners to Naples, from whence she was sent under
convoy of her Majesty's steamer Caner to Malta, stopping
at Messina to take on beard the English crew. On her
voyage to Malta she was nearly lost On ber arrival there
the particulars connected with her seizure were laid before
Sir Adrian Dingli, the crown advocate, who was at a is to
discover on what pounds the consul had ordered her
seizure. The case wu referred to England, and the crown
lawyen there have come to the mine conclusion as the
crown advocate in Malta. The Italian officers and crew have
bees released, and the vessel ordered to be given up to the
parties she was seized from.
But during this time the vessel au been math &meg*
her boilers bunt, her engines out of order, and the service
for which she was purchased now no longer exists, and the
officers and crew. instead of being, as they intended, active
in the service of Garibaldi, have been detained priaonen
Than will be heavy damps ()Limed. Who will be the
sufferers, the English government or the English consul at
Messina?

The vessel lies been a long time in Yalta, but the captain
has never made his appearance. The crew, ten in number,
and having the reputation of steady hard-working honest
men, are left without money or food ; the admiral, feeling
ferfEnglishmen in distress, without any fault on their
part, ordered them three-fourths of a sailor's allowance.
This keeps them from darving, but leaves them
very hungry. The admiral also kindly gave them some
soap to wash their clothes, for they are penniless, though
their employer owes them for many menthe' wages. They
will in all probability be sent home as distressed British
subjects.
In justice to the Italian eller+ and crew, it is but fair to
state that the English Aker is whose cis me they IMO
planed spoke of them livery WO terms.
