MALTA.-AuG. 27.

The Great Liverpool arrived during the niglit, in four
dais, from Alexandria, which she left on the 22d inst.,
one o'clock, P.M. She brings a mail from Bombay, de-
spatched on the afternoon of the 20th of July, in the
Auckland, which steamer brought the mail as far as
Aden, when it was taken up and brought down to Suez
by the Berenice. The Prometheus takes on the Indian
mail, addressed via France, this afternoon, to Marseilles.

It does not appear from the Bombay papers that the
mails of the sth, 6th, and ith of July from Calcutta
were yet arrived, or delivered, though the Governinent
express of the Bth of July had been received. Sir John
Wilson, late Governor of Ceylon, and several officers.
from India, are passengers by the Great LiverpooL
The Britannia and Howe left Corfu in company with
the Vanguard on the 19th inst., at which place the
Ganges arrived on the 18th from Palermo. On the 22d.
the squadron fell in with the Hazard, and the same even-
ing she was sent on to Malta, while the Vanguard was
despatched to Candia. The Ganges sailed from Corfu
on the 22d, and having come up with the Britannia and
Howe on the 24th, entered Malta harbour with them on
the 26th. The Weazle, 113,, was the only man-of-war
left among the lonian Isles. The Lord High Commis-
sioner had gone on a tour of inspection of the different
islands, and was not expected to return to Corfu. for
several weeks.

line ; the Inconstant frigate ; the Wasp brig ; with the

SIR CHARLES NAPIER AND
" THE VINDICATOR."
We have rece:ved a letter from Sir Charles Napier,
complaining of an undue assumption on the part of the
Vindicator, which, by a recent advertisement in The Sun,
claims to itself the right and title of the " Essay on the
Poor-laws," as having been written by the Gallant
Officer " expressly" for that paper. This deception Sir
Charles Napier exposes, sad we quote that part of his
letter explanatory of the original destination of the Essay,
and in whose hands the true copyright exists:—
Sltt—The Essay on the Poor-law was written for h
law institution in Dublin, and afterwards given to The
Editor of the Dublin Citizen, in which periodical was
published last Month. The Editor also struck ttf some
copies for distribution, and from one of those topics the
Editor of the Vindicator printed and publishe.:l my essay.
I gave them the printed copy, but the as'ertion that I
wrote the Essay expressly for ttieir paper is a deception,
and I be; of you to expon It as a mattar of justice, both
to me and to the Editor of the Dublin Citizen, whose
copyright is 01u.) appropriated by the Vindicator.
Yours. &c. C. NAPIER.
