MALTA.

'he MARQUISofHASTINGS's RETURN to ENGLAND.
COPY OF ♦ LETTER ADDRESSED TO HIS EXCELLENCY*

THE MARQUIS OF HASTINGS.

" Malta, April 22, 1825.
"MT LORD—We, the undersigned British Merchants and
inhabitants resident in Malta, are induced, by your Lordship's.
approaching departure for England, to tender our sincere
and warm acknowledgments for the protection Which your
Lordship has been pleased to extend to the commercial in-
terests of this island. Your Lordship will soon have an op-
portunity of personally calling the attention of his Ala-
jesty's Ministers to the impoverished and destitute state
of the island, and to the almost total extinction of its com-
merce, on the prosperity of which it principally depends, as
the means of supporting its numerous inhabitants. We should
have thought it incumbent upon us to enter more into this im-
portant subject were we not sensible that your Lordship's ex-
perience renders this unnecessary, and that it will enable you
to point out such remedies as may. tend to the benefit of the
trade, without injury to the general interests of the Island.—
We trust your Lordship's absence will be but a temporary one,
and that you may be enabled to announce tows on your return
that your visit to England has been attended in every respect
with all the good consequences we confidently anticipate ; and
that we shall have in future additional motives for the• sincere
attachment, respect, and veneration, which we-already enter-
tain for the name of Ilastings.
" We have the honour to be," Ace.
ANSWER TO THE ABOVE LETTER.

" Palace, April 23, 1825.
" GENTLEMEN—The flattering expressions with which
you have favoured me in your letter of yesterday's date, are
felt as sincerely as you could wish. They are truly gratifying
to me, and must operate as a fresh claim upon my endeavours-
to promote your interest. The circumstances at which you
have pointed will command my earliest attention after my ar--
rival in England. The opportunity of making oral represents—
tions to his Majesty's Ministers may be materially beneficial,
and I trust that on my speedy return to you, I shall be able to'
prove my having been no idle advocate.
" I have the honour to be, your obedient, &c.
(Signed) " HASTINGS."
