292 LETTERS FROM MALTA, &C. 
journey starvation will not be one of them. 
After five days’ rest and a diligent use of 
those restoratives which French artists are 
so clever in compounding, w r e are now quite 
recovered from our long abstinence. I 
should have said that the body is recovered ; 
but a slight degree of mental weakness yet 
remains, for even when the animal wants have 
been fully satisfied, the imagination is still 
craving and anticipating the pleasures of the 
next meal. 
If the information we have received be 
correct, we shall arrive at Bordeaux two 
days before the departure of a steam-packet 
from that port for Falmouth. 
THE END. 
J. Rickerby, Printer, Sherbourn Lane.
