diatelVon the receipt, of yourord-
Clip's difpatches and endeavoured
to convince' him of the importance
of preventing the ultima under
which would inevitably follow , the
rejection of .jvhat he had to propofe.
I Will briefly (late, that on the find-
ing.it perfectly 'im practicable to el.
tablilh the principle or" our keeping
poiletlion of Malta in perpetuity,
I delivered to ht-n in writing tht
fecond propofal I had to make.
He did not fjfail.obferve, that by
this modification the d tncuity which
he confidered as innrmountable was
riot removed; that althoughiheortfer
was reftored, it could no be can fine,
red as independent, and in faft,"
Malta would' belong to that power
which had; poffeflUn of the forts.
I enforced the adoption of this plan
by every reafon which could ferve
to recommend it; but the poflefiion
jri perpetuity was conftantly urged
as a dithculty whu:n notning soma
Our convetfation lafted

which he affdred me he would take

that of fuffering Britain to acquire
