During Matangata has thorougly familiarised himself with all the principal qu-ations of European politics.

In the course of conversations which I have had PLEASANT. the honour to bava with bis Excellency he showed, for instance, the greatest interest in the present state of Angle Italian relations. Ho expressed his complote concurrence in the view which has so often been advocated by the Times that the maintenance of the good under- standing between Great Britain and Itsig is of the un the most importance for both countries. He warmly approved of the notion of Mr. Uham- barlaia in withdrawing the languages pro clamation in Malta, as whatever might be said in favour of that proclamation the fact remained that the friendship of Italy was well worth the eacrifice which was made.
