,after Wards regularly' p.:ssed,,and a Message was
ordered to be Sent.to the Commons to acquaint them
therewith. '
A short conversation, took place between the Earl
of emtermtvoht and the Lotto CH ANC ELLOR, vela.
Live to the Malta Trade Bill, in consequence of an
observation on. the part of the Noble Earl, ,that by
one of -provisions of the Bill in question, the
bland of Malta-Was declared an •Europeim Island.'
He then. Adverted to : the geographical situation
of. Malta, and to what the Island had. always
been considered with -respect.to such, and.obe
served upon the .circumstances of aliese Volunteers,
particularly from the Militia, who had' enroll-
ed themselves in 'the Army, but with the ex-
press, reservation of nor serving out of Europe.—
He then alluded to the possible effect which the
Bill might have in that respea, and, as we under-
itoed the Noble Earl, he expreSsed his hope that
Administration would not think of sending the Sol.-
' dierse who had entered as above into 'the Army, to
serve in that bland.' .
The LORD C 4 NCE R quitted.' the Wool-
sack,' and in reply to the observations of the. Noble
Earl, stated his concepiion'Of tie Bill in question ;
it was foanded on the • same principle which had
formerly oLtainedln LegislatiVc meisiares on similar
occasions, namely; that when acquisition of that
kind -Was 'made, by- the British Government,-
was pineed under certain 'Corr Mercial regulations.
Their Lordship); were apprized of the means
.by
which Marta came into our possession, and by the

' latively declared an European Island, merely for
Commercial tit: 11)03P. •

The Earl ROSLY N, after shortly addressing
the House, in such a low tone of voice as precluth
ed us from hearing the greater part of what he said;
but from which, we understood his'Lordship, to ob.
`serve upon the great inconveniences 'which might
