MALTA AND GIBRALTAR MAILS.

A Malta and Gibraltar Mail grrived this day, but
li:ey add little to what was before known from that

perusal

portant paragraphs i

sailed for England on the ICth.
" MURAT has issued a Proclamation, authorising
the introduction of every species of goods and mer.
thandize into his dominions, if imported in neutral
vessels; and it is confidently reported and believed,
that he has offered to join the Allies against BONA-
'AIM if the Allies Kill recognize him as King of
Naples. He had sent several fl.tgs of truce lately
with dispatches to Lord W. BENTLNCK, at Palermo."

ding day, in oftler to assist our army in crossing it,

mand of Lord C's ship, the TONNANT, and to carry
her with all expedition round to Portsmouth. Cap.

MAYO Er.rcrtotc—Saturday, the sth instant, being
the sSth day of the poll, this elhtion closed, as be-
fore mentioned, Mr. BROWNE having a majority of
114. over Mr. KinwAN. On the 57th day, Sir S.
O'Mat.Ley polled 46 votes, and expects to be ulti-
mately the sitting Member, as the dther candidates
mutually charge each other with bribery and corrup-
tion ; and therefore the Baronet expects that each of
them will be declared by the House unqualified to
sit, and that he, being the only other Candidate,
must ultimately buccced.
