inghant, fill editor of rlic Cilcutta J:Jurnal,, had been sent to
England by order of Mr. Adams, immediately after the depar.
ture of the Marquis of Hastings, and without any charge being
made against him. He wished to ask the Right Hon. Gentle-
man whether this statement was correct ?

Mr. WYNN said: he had-this morning received accounts
front India, from 'which be learned that Mr. Buckingham:had
been sent to E»gland.. That measure had, however, no re-
ference 'to the ciretimstanatfor which thar.gentleinan had been
trietl.l2 months agile but was. for a continuance in a line of
conduct which the Marquis of Hastings had given him repeated
warning►s would cruise his being sent home. Be had not yet
read the papers; but he could state,. from.the, generaLopimon,
he entertained of the discretion and judgment of Mr. Adam,
that be had no doubt the proceeding was fully warranted.

. • MALTA.
Mr. HUME said,-that in consequence of infOrniatiOn which
he had lately receive4he was induced, to bring forward the
,present motion regarding. the Quatantine Laws of Malta. Ily
this information he • had received an extract of a letter from
- Lord Bathurst, whether it wak:.torrect or not he did not
know, whiekstated that his Lordship saw no reason„tbr alter-
ing the Quarantine Laws of Ahilta. The merchants had re-
ceived this intelligence with the greatest alarm. It was well
know that the -.European. Powers 'bad • formed a Code for
•the purpose of preventing the importation of the plague.—.
In the year 11113 it found its way to Malta; and, shortly
afterwards, a breach of the Quarantine La* took place there,
which occasioned the placing of Malta out of the European
line. Notividistanding this, Sir Thomas Maitland had been
allowed to land, in spite of. the :stypposed danger of infec.
Lion, He thought the Commercial Interests of this country
at Malta ought
,to, be protected, • especially as Malta had
been thought of consequence enough tb- justify our going to
war, about In France ,the laws were very strict ; the
Duchess of Berri in one instance, and the l)uke himself after-
wards, being obliged to perform .quarantine at Marseilles,'
All that the people of Malta desired was, that the rules might
be certain, and, might not, if once -made,' be relaxed, for the
convenience_ of individuals. lle wished therefore for copies
or extracts of 'the correspondence between the Merchants and
the Cnial Office on this subject. He complained also of the
imposition unit increase of duties on importation at Malta,
made .by Sir Thomas , Maitland. Ile moved therefore for
" copies of all correapondecce between the Government of
Malta. and the Colonial Ofiice,tind the Committee cif Merchants
at. Malta, respecting the quarantine regulations at Malta."
Mr. W. HORTON opposed the motion. The Committee
of Merchants had admitted that, in_ point of • regulation, the
Quarantine 'Law was perfeet • In practice he contended it
waaltnpartial. The landing of Sir Thomas Maitland was jtis-
titiablb under the p:culiar circumstances, the plague not
having appearal for ten years. All the other Islands of the
.Mediterranean had adopted our - Quarantine regulations at
Malta. It was a little remarkable that the Merchants some-
times admitted that the foreign regulations were too lax, and
hoped they would not be adopted as a precedent in this coun-
try; and at others complained of them us being too severe.
Mr. Ho see shortly explained ; and, after a few words from
• Mr., W. 1101tTON, Mr. II uME withdrew his motion.
