It is most gratifying to be enabled to announce that
the Ann and Amelia transport, said to be totally lost on
the coast of Spain, has safely arrived at Malta. The
mistake arose from the exchange of boats while at Ply-
mouth with another transport, the Midas, presumed to
have been wrecked, from not having been heard of
since she sailed ; and the borrowed boat with the name
on it having been washed on &hole, with ne other in-
telligence of the vessel, it was concluded that all on
board the Ann and Amelia had perished. The supposed
fate of this ship excited peculiar sympathy at the time,
as she bad a number of .young offscen on board, who
were proceeding to join the squadron, at Malta, as well
as superintendents from the dock yards, who were to
assist in the repairs of the vessels injured. •
