Despatches were received on Sunday at the Colonia%
office, D.iwning-street, from Naples and Malta, eonanattai-
eating the intelligence of the death of Sir Thomas Mai -
laud, by apopbAy, which took place at Malta o tie h
alt. Ile had previously been in the enjoyment of per:ec I/
go. d health. Sir Thomas was a G.C.B. and C.ll. Ile
was a Colonel of the 10th regiment of foot, tiovernor of
Malta, Commander of the Fort es in the Mediterranean, al I
Lord High Commissioner of the lonian IslandA, xis
the brother o! the Earl of Lauderdale. Shortly aft, r the
'arrival' of the despatches, 111 r. Walsh, the Rine. s me,:sen-
ger, was sent off with the m.danclioly tidings to the Earl of
Lavderilale, at Dunbar, in Scotland. _

----Sir i'lientas Maitland at the time of his death, had en
teredove helieve,the 66th year of his age. His constitoti,g
was originally rigorous ; but was probably injured by hay
services in such hot climates as St. Domingo, Ceylon, and
Malta. He entered the army at an et; rl7 period of life,
and served his fir t campaign, we think, in Carolina, 4t
the beginning of the great American ale,. gle. Sir
Thomas, notwithstanding, like his noble brat is:, distin-
guished lim.ra at the commencement of his poll ieal
career in the House of Commons, by his zeal in the emit
of teforo, as,rl did not disdain, when the vital princip!et
of freed.•in were threatened by the Grotto and Aaehor
Association, • n the years 1793 and 1794, to appear ay t,,eit•
champion a id defender, .at the public meeings of .he
" Friends of the Liberty of the Press,' who, at that period,
had formed theniseltes into a Society at the install, a of
the late Lord Erskine. At one of those meetings, it hat
been remembered, he took occasion, when attending to the
persecuting spirit which had sprung up in Scotland,in the
judgmews passed on Muir and Palmer, to observe with
striking emphasis—" that whenever a Government oas
inclined to stretches of arbitrary power, it coin.
mei:ced its efforts at the extremities of its domi-
nions, where the abuses of authority excite less
Sensation and remonstrance, theta when stub attempts
were made at its seat. Subsequent 'occurrences, unneces-
sary to mention, have frequently revived, with redoubled
effect, the impression of this just remark. Sir Thomas,
however, retained (we know not bow long) his sympathy
for persecuted patriots at home. We have only heard that
at the end cd. 1794, on the evening of the day of Hardv's
acquittal, when that worthy man was invited by the Debit,
brother of Sir l'homas to wait upon a little party, of which
the late Dr. Moore was one, forthe purpose of uabosoming
his feelings and his circumstances, the gallant officer re-
cently deceased professed, with the rest, to take much in-
terest in his case, and concurred lathe liberal promises then
1
Lade tb promote bls welfere. But—cetera dervort: The
gallant officer soon after quitted the ranks of the " Friends
.f the Liberty of the Press," to assume a military com-
mand at St. Domingo, where, on the verge of the &tisk
lEmpire, a wide scope va; left for his discretion ie ac :a;
on the judicious caution he had intimated at home. Tee
letter period of his life has pas ell, as is sell ktkowu, In the
Government of the lonian Islands, where he enjoyed from
the commencement of his Vice.R.Yeal reign, Vie' fairest
opportunities of evincing his political consistency, in
accommodating the liberal printiples of the British Con-
stitution to the circumstances of newly adopted subjects,
who were desirous to be free; and, more recently, in sym-
pathising with the efforts made for independence, by the
suffering and struggling Greeks !!!

A Meeting of the Spanish Uomosittee.will he held to-
morrow for the purpose of voting a sword to the Spanish
Henreid (,?niroga, for big gallant exertions in raising the
standard of Liberty ; and to pay a similar compliment to
General Mina' who, as a partisan, so ably seconded the
efforts of the Hero of the Isla.
Tux Cinueas.—A very lively interest on behalf of the
Greeks has recently sprung up in the United States. The
following letter from the venerable ex-President Adams
has been add dto the Committee for raising subsea?•
tious at new York

" Quincy, Dec. 29, 1823.
Oentlemen,-1 have received your circular of the l 2 h
instant, and 1 thank you for the honour you have dune me
in addressing it to me. Be assured, my heart beats in unison
with yours, and with those of your con4titnents, and, I
presume, with all the really civilized part of manhinit,
in sympathy with the Greeks, suffering as they are in the
great cause of liberty and humanity. The gentlemen of fit s•
ton have t tken measures to procure a general subscrip. ion in
their favour through the state, and 1 shall contribute my
mite with great pleasure. In the mean time 1 wish yo 1,
and all other gentlemen engaged in the virtuous work, all
the success you or they can nisi], for 1 believe no effort in
favour of virtue will be ultimately lost. 1 have the honour
to be, gentlemen, your very humble servant,
" JOHN Alums."
A curious circumstance took place at the Court of Assize
at Paris at the trial of a Madame Chauvet. accused of not
revealing the conspiracy of Sanquaire and others. The
first witnrssess called were Mons. le Marquis de la Fayette,
and M. le Comte de la Fayette, his son. The former pre-
tested against receivint3. the title of Marquis in the a cust-
*go and summons, having ceased to bear it ever since the
Decree of the Constituent Assembly of December,
.1790.
The Comte La Fayette did oat make the same objectioo
as
Lis father.

Whatever appearance of very partial dissatisfaction may
have lately shown itself, we can truly say that we believe

adopted in the management of this village, have uniformly
been, to the well disposed part of the population, a source
of the greatest satisfactiOn and confidence.
We believe that we spesk,the general sentiments of the
inhabitant% when we express to you and to the other
Farmers our warmest thanks for the interest you have
always taken, and which we still see you take in our hap-
piness t—so interest which dictated those improvements
io the former state of the village, which procured to us
the cmnior's new onjor ; and which still continues to
dictate, as at last night's meeting you informed us of
farther plans for our ennveaienre, comfort, add ..;•••

IVe trust that your esertionsworlielit of our children
trill not have been in vain.. bet that their condoct in after
life will exhibit the beneficial results anticipated from an
education as unusual, as it is superior to that generally
riven to children of operative cotton-spinners, and in
which vatiotis branches of useful knowledge have been
connected 'with •the more inwortemt point of religions in-
s'ruction, and that the real Adv. !ince of all the inhabitants
of this eetildielimept, both, old end young, iu whatever is
good and virtuous, will keep pace with your benevolent
and philanthropic exertion in prensotinx
