MALTA. '
• Accounts from Malta, doSyn to the 2d of Decem-
ber, state as follow :
41 The troops now left in Sicily are eery few, not
amounting altogether to seven thousand men, scarcely
three thousand of which are effective. The French,
we hear, threaten to attack Sicily, for which purpose
they have collected a force at Naples, amounting to
50,000 men. The fortifications and works that were
carrying on at Messina are stopt ; and it is the opi-
nion of the Sicilians, that Britain means to abandon
'them.
44 Two English couriers have been lately murdered
between. Palermo and Syracuse. . :17.4
44 The Sicilians do not seem to dislike the English;
but they know. Britain must support the King, whom
they detest. They wish for the abolition of die MO-
earthy, and a New Order of Things ; and this is pro-
' bably the reason why so many of them are attached
to the French. Forty thousand of them, it is said, are
known to be so.
“ Malta is at this moment full of people from all
parts of the Mediterranean. Indeed the stoppage of
trade in Turkey and the Black Sea has caused num-
ben to take up their abode here. The result of the
disastrous struggle in Egypt, and particularly the
evaluation of Alexandria, has also brought to this
place Turks,. Greeks, Moors, Jews, and Russians,
who lived there under the protection of the English ;
so that provisions have been extremely deal, and
scarcely a possibility of getting Lodgings at any
price. The only business doing here now is by pub-
lic sales, when Manchester Goods, of every descrip-
rtion, are sold at nearly .20 per cent below prime
cost ! ! I

_ mei Tosemts, late Secretary to Ge-
neral WurretocKE, has been, appointed Assistant to
Colonel Goenow,' the Secretary to his , Royal High-
ness the Commander in Chief.

This morning the Court resumed its sitting at the

gress in examining him, their time having been taken
up.in hearing the evidence he gave yesterday, read
over by the Clerk of the Court : it related chiefly to
the transactions of the advanced corps on their matte'
from Ensenada, to the suburbs of Buenos Ayres—
at the reading of which General CRAUIPURD Ingle
some small alterations. The Court was crouded
little after the commencement of the Trial.
