EXTRACT OF A LETTER, DATED MALTA, Ji2WE 1:-. " Our Governor, the tilarquis of fastings, with his fawily, ar- rived here on the 7th i"at.: -since when business has been almost at a stand, in consequence of lthe rejoicings for his arrival. The people seem to expect amore benefit under his governmentthan it is possible can result. But that some improvement will follow, we haveeno J"116M&ge ApZ-" --% - A- - -uch f 01 ei4 and A"h9[&ierAces %permiL The only changes hitertoetade af- fecting commerce, are &xing the current value of the Spanaih dol. lars at Ill A ranr, and reducing the dutier on foreign1 sugars and cof- fee from bout oi per centL to 2 per cent. ad .oaIorern? Thhe Governor had, at Naples, an interview with the Mlinister Ztedici, concerning tie diminution of .he quarantine, in Sicily and Naples, on ships from Auau; and with some prospyct of success. On tife day of his arrival, the Hind sloop of war arrived with a convov from Alexan- dria; antd instcad of the usual quarantine of 18 davs, he ordered 30 days to be performed. It reallyr s -a surprising ti)ing that the British Government permits the direct introduction of cotton wool from Egypt. It isnot at all improbsible that the plague may be in- troduced i here; for the cotton, of itself a most susceptible article, comes froim a countr= where the plague rages with violence. At Cairo the deaths are 300 per diem. The natdves are quite mad about onr new GJoverhor: they say they consider him as their deli- vemr; but they are much too sanguine in their expectations."
