MALTESE PAPERS.

MALTA, JULY 6. •
By letters from Bournou, dated 28th of May
last, we are sorry to learn the doath of Mr.
Tyrwhit, who had been resident at that place as
British Vice Consul. This lamentable event,
which happened on the 25th of the month (Zaf-
far 19th of October, 1824), is the more to be re-
gretted, as the cause of civilization is much en-
couraged by the Chief of that country, at whose
request a British authority was established ther e

" Malta, June 28.
" Sir,—lt appearing by a letter Prom One of the Sanita esta-
blishments in the Mediterranean, to the Consul resident in.
Malta of a Foreign Fewer, that a supposition prevails that this
Government intends some relaxation of the existing quaran.:
tine restrictions, to which invariably are subject all vessels,
persons, and goods arriving at Malta, from Egypt; the coast
of Barbary, or any other place liable to suspicion, I am direct-
ed to request that you will immediately notify to the Sanita
department at your port, that no relaxation of the existing
quarantines will be alloWed at Malta on any pretence whatever,
and that the Sanita regulations, as at present here established,
will continue io be maintained with the utmost rigour.-4 have
the honour, &c. (Signed) " FRED. HANREY,
" Chief Secretary to Government."

MALTA, Jtmt 27.
A letter from Tunis, dated the 20th instant, mentions that
a Greek cruiser is off that coast, boarding and plundering ves-
sels ivithotit any respect to nation or flag. Another letter states
that the Coral Company has purchased a steam-vessel to be
employed on the narbary coast, which was hourly expected at
Tunis.

By letters received from Algiers to the 11th ultimo, we learn
that the Government was collecting a considerable body of land
force, and that the preparations for interior warfare appear to
be do a scale muth mote extensive than would be requisite for
the subjugation of the refractory tribe of Kobyles. A schooner
of war that sailed a few days before the date of our advice: was
said to have been sent td recall the Algerine squadron from the
Archipelago.

The state of the public health in the city and in the neigh-
bourhood of Algiers, indeed throughout the Regency, was
perfectly good and free from suspicion.
The following is a copy of the communication made to the
European Consuls, which has been officially transmitted to
his Honour, the Lieutenant-Governor, for the guidance of
Masters of vessels trading between Malta and the port of
Bona :

DAY, THE 11TH OF JUNE, 1325.
" It having been represented to his Highness the Dey, that,

tion of gunpowder, the smuggling of that article is carried to a
great extent at the port Of Bona by the crews of the European,
boats and small craft that resort thither for the coral fishery and
other purposes, by whom it is sold to the Arabs, Kobyles, and
other enetiries of the Algerine Government ; and also that great
disorder and riot constantly-occur at the taverns, liquor shops,
and the houses of ill-fame kept by Europeans within the said
town of Bona ;—the Government deems it expedient to infotaa
the respective European Consuls-General to this Regency, that
with a view of putting a stop to such contraband tialtic and
disorderly conduct, the Admiral Ali Rais ist about to be sent
to Bona, for the purpose of promulgating and putting in (dice
