AMLTA.

MINUTE OF HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR

OF MALTA, &c.

" His Excellency, on assuming the Government of
these Islands, is most happy to find that the severe
calamity with which Malta has been afflicted, is ra•
pidly decreasing, and lie .is firiely persuaded that a
steady, rigid, and uniform adherence- to those wise''
and salutary restrictions enjbined by his Excellency's
predecesssor Asia, within a very limited period, com-
pletely eradicate the Plague now, and he trusts fur
ever, from this Island.
" Until that desirable object be attained, it will be,
impossible for his Excellency to enter upon any of
those measures he has been charged by his Royal
Highness to carry into effect, with a view to consoli-
date and establish
,f,r a firm and permanent basis, the
Happiness and prosperity of these Islands:
" His Excellency cannot, however,. refrain from
stating to the Maltese, even thus early, the great in-
terests his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, acting
'in the name and on the behalf of his Majesty, has
been graciously pleased to take in theirweilare—the
deep consideration he has given to their hitherto un-
certain and unsettled state, and his gracious deter-
mination, henceforth, to recognize the People of
Malta and Goza as subjects oh the British Crown,
and as entitled to its fullest protection.
41 It will be his Excellency's duty, in carrying into
effect his Royal Master's benevolent instructions on
this head, to secure to the Maltese, the free exercise
of their Religion—to maintain their Ecclesiastical
Establishment—to introduce such amelioratiOn in the
proceedings of the' Courts of Law, as will secure to
every one the certainty of speedy and effective justice
—to make such improvement in the laws themselves,
as past experience or change of circumstances may
have rendered necessary and adviseable—and, in
short, to adopt every measure that may be required
to secure to the inhabitants a full share of that happi-
ness, wealth, security, and prosperity, fortunately en-
joyed by all the subjects of the British empire in every
part of the world.
" Until his Excellency can, with propriety, enter
upon this course of,proceedings, he expects from the
Public Functionaries of •all descriptions a steady and
energetic adherence to those measures so wisely laid
down by his worthy and excellent predecessor—and
from the People, the calm and temperate endurance
of those privations absolutely necessary to he tolera-
ted under the afil cting circumstances in which they
have been placed—circumstances which no human
wisdom could avert, !mit which may gradually be
subdued by the energy of Government and the ac-
quiescence of all ranks in the measures, however pain.:
ful, jet absolutely necessary to be adopted to that
effect.—By command of his Excellency,
(Signed) ig F. LAING, Chief Sec. to Goy,
• 44 Palace, Valetta, October 9, 1611"

THE ARMY.

GENERAL ORDER.
" Horse Guards, December 11.

" It has been represented to the Commander in Chief, that it
frequently results, from soldiers being indulged with furloughs,
that they return with their necessaries much worn and damaged,
without any means of supplying the deficiencies, his Royal High-
ness is, therefore, pleased todirect, that, in future, soldiers, while
on fujough, shall receive only two thirds of them daily pay, viz.
Bd. per day, leaving the remainder to accumulate untilt they re-
join their regiment, in order td its being applied to the provision
of such articles of equipment u they may-require at the time.—
The Paymasters of districts and others, making advances to• sol-
diers whose furloughs may be renewed, are required particularly
to attend to this order, as any suns which they may advance be-
yond Bd. per day, as herein directed, will be at their own risk.—
By command of his Royal Highness the Cominandor in Chief.
(Signed) " HARRY Caotzkr, Adjut.-Geti."

Yesterday morning 150 men, belonging to the Ist
Regiment of Life Guards, who have been drafted for
foreign service, marched from their depot at Rum-
ford. They passed the Horse Guards, the head-
quarsers of the London district, a few minittes before
one o'clock, when-they gave three cheers. They are
to proceed to Portsmouth. An equal number of the
2d Regiment of Life Guards, and of the Royal Horse
Guards, are on their march to the same place to em-
bark for Lord WELLINotaN's army, to reiatorce the
brigade of those Regiments..

The 84. th Regiment, fram Jersey, arrived at Spit
head yesterday morning, on the way to Holl md.

The Court of Enquiry into the condpct of Sit' JOHN
MURRAY at Tarragona, is to be held at Valencia, and
not at Gibraltar, as at first intended.
A Dutch Battalion is now fOrming in this country,
under a Colonel PANLEYS, and when organized, it
will be sent immediately to Holland.

Lieutenant General the Earl of DALIIOUSIE and
Staff, and Lieutenant Colonel DALRYMPLE, of the
15th Hussars, will embark this week at Portsmouth,
to join the army under the MArquis pt WELLINGTON,
in thz South of France.

His Royal Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE has
contiJed the commlnd of the -German Legion to
Lieutenant General •LissiNciur,: during • his Royal
Highness's absence in Hahover. . •

All the effective Officers who were at home on
leave of absence from Lord WELLINGTON'S army, are
ordered out to join their respective Regiments forth-
with ; and most of them are hastening express to
Portsmouth, to join the general embarkation, (amoun-
ting to 9000 men) which is expected to sake place in
the course of the present week. Some are posting to
Falmouth to go out in the packets.
The f illowing is an extract of a letter from an
Officer in the 'army under Lord WELLINGrON, dated
Aspar, near Bayonne, December, 15,1813 :—" I put
up in a most excellent house, occupied by a French
Officer the night before, and the delight of the people
at seeing us, was only to be equalled by the hospitable
reception they gave me ; I never met any thing like
it ; their civility and hospitality know no bounds,
aod it we continue to meet the same reception as we
advance, Bosmeanre may tr:mble un- Hs Throne,
for the people of this bountiful country literally appear
to be groaning under opp,.ession and tyranny, and all
appear delighted at our advance, and the prospect o!
their deliverance. The conscripts which have been
lately ordered to be raised in this part of the country,
have been hiding in the woods for the last ten days,
in the expectation of our advancing , and their joy,
and that of their friends, on seeing them escape the
Conscription, you may readily conceive. After the
order was given to retreat on the 10th of November,
from Sall-, no less than 300 of the conscripts from
this part of the country made off, and hid in the woods,
till we advanced again. The numberless acts of
kindness and attention we have met with from every
one, make me quite forget any hardships we have en-
dured, and render our march more a tour of pleasure
than any' thing else.' You can have little conception
of the high regard and esteem they all have for the
British."
SHREWSBURY, JAN. 15.—Last week, several of the
West Middlesex Militia, who had volunteeted for
„reign service, were frozen to death on their march,
from Nottingham. The unfortunate men had been
drinking till they were intoxicated. and, lying by the
road side, slept—never to wake again I
