Extract of a letter from Malta, dated July 4, 1809.

Perhaps this market never experienced a moment of greater inactivity, than the present, overstocked with goods of all descriptions from England, Portugal and Spain, and the suspension of the embargo in America adding to the stock, besides filling every foreign source of its consumption. No sales of colonial produce are making, except by barter; in this way two American cargoes have been got rid of, one at Messina, and the other here. Turkey is completely glutted, and while a direct and uninterrupted intercourse is carried on by the English to the Mediterranean from their own and the Spanish and Portuguese colonies, the hope of any advantage in the American adventures must be destroyed, even should the ports of Italy and the Adriatic be re-opened, of which happy event the late glorious success of the Austrian army gives the best expectations. Should we, however, be disappointed it is hard to say what will become of the immense quantities of colonial produce now filling every accessible port, very great loss must be sustained, particularly upon the cargoes from the United States.

"A cargo of Mocha coffee would do well in Turkey; money is very scarce there, as well as in Candia this island, but a public bank having been established here, our necessities in this respect are likely to meet great relief."
