    for the same permission, the indulgence must be immediately withdrawn; the continuance of the indulgence rests therefore with the gentlemen in the Lazzaretto. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient humble Servant, H. F. Bouverie. To Arthur T. Holroyd, Esq. LETTER No. VII. [copy.] Fort Manuel, September 2d, 1838. Sir, I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 1st of September; and in reply I beg to assure your Excellency that it is far from the wish of any of our party to withdraw the indulgence granted to the children of Reshid Pacha; and we therefore waive all claim for per- mission to enjoy a similar privilege. At the' same time I cannot but express my opinion, that if the established regulations of the Lazzaret can be departed from with safety in the instance of the children of Reshid Pacha, the same indulgence might with equal justice be ex- tended to all. 1 have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient and humble Servant, Arthur T. Holroyd. To his Excellency Sir Henry Bouverie, K.G.C., Governor of the Island of Malta. On the 8th of November last a letter on the laws of qua- rantine appeared in the Times newspaper, addressed to Sir Henry Bouverie, and signed by two officers and three mer- chants from India. As it demonstrates most clearly the harshness of the present sanatory regulations and the un- warrantable delay occasioned by a protracted imprisonment, I wish particularly to call your attention to the inconve- niences which these gentlemen were obliged to undergo. I therefore insert the letter at length.
