Fra Ludoviku Savoye.Pdf Perjodu qasir imma 1-aktar drammatiku fl-istorja ta' pajjizna huma 1-ahhar sentejn tas-sek1u 18 (1798-1800), li fihom il-gzejjer Maltin gnaddew taht tlett saltniet: 1-0rdni ta' San Gwann, ir-Republika Franciza u 1-Makma Ngliza. Il-Granmastru Hompesch, wara li 1-Gvern Franciz kien ikkonfiska 1-bosta propjeta li 1-0rdni kellu fi Franza, sab ruhu tradut minn niesu stess u meta Napuljun nizel Malta, ceda 1-gzira Iii Napuljun. Il-FranCizi weghdu Liberta, Fraternita u Ugwaljanza iZda 1-amministrazzjoni Franciza f'Malta ma1ajr rifset il-kallijiet ta' kulhadd, bdiet tisraq il-Knejjes u wasslet biex 1-Maltin b'mod qalbieni u bit-tixrid tad-demm (bizzejjed insemmu 1-eroj Dun Mikiel Xerri u st1abu li gew fucillati fil-Belt) jorganizzaw ruhhom u jkeccu lill-Francizi minn Malta. Dan seta' jsir bl­ gt1ajnuna ta' qawwa barranija li 1-Maltin talbu u kisbu mill-IngliZi li dahlu f'Malta biex jghinu izda spiccaw jat1kmu gt1al aktar minn 160 sena. Ir-Rabat u 1-Imdina Ir-Rabat u 1-Imdina kellhom sehem qawwi fit-taqbida qalila u r-rebt1a glorjuza tal-Maltin kontra 1-FranCizi. Meta fil-festa tal-Madonna tal-Konsolazzjoni nhar it-2 ta' Settembru 1798 il­ Francizi, bi ksur ta' kull weghda li kienu gnamlu, ippjanaw li jirkantaw 1-oggetti ta' deheb u fidda tal-knejjes tar-Rabat u 1- Imdina u jibdew mill-kunvent ta' Giezu u l-Oratorju ta' San Gu:lepp, ir-Rabtin irrabjati ghall­ ahhar sfrattawlhom il-pjan u malajr hadu Hided tal­ Fratellanza ta' San Gu:lepp fid­ dar tar-Rettur, in-Nutar Rabti Manwel Vitale (1959-1801). Il­ Francizi disappuntati tek1u ghall­ knisja tal-Karmnu fl-Imdina biex jirkantaw it-tapezzerija imma !­ Ritratt pittura tar-Rettur tal-Grotta Ludovico Savoye, li jinsab folia ghalqet il-bieb waqt li tfajjel fil-Muzew ta' 1-0rdni ta' San Gwann, f'St. fohn's Gate, beda jdoqq il-qniepen tal­ Clerkenwell. Ritratt ielior, jixblm liafna jinsab fil-Muzew tal­ Kullegg u riprodott fil-ktieb St. Pauls's Grotto, Malta 1990, kampnar. Aktar tard fl-ist~ss jum i1-kmandament Franciz fl- p. 404 II-Festi Tagtma- 1996 r-:.;-1 -----------------=---------------------~ Imdina, Louis Masson, fettillu jaghmel dawra mar-Rabat bix-xabla misluta f'idejh biex ibezza lir­ Rabtin, izda dawn imgt1addbin malajr ghalqulu t-triq tant li kellu jsib rifugju fid-dar tan-Nutar Pietru Bezzina quddiem ta' Giezu. Il-folla malajr sfrundat il-bieb u ghamlu ghalih bil-gebel u aktar tard xehtuh mill-gal!erija miftuha tas-sular ta' fuq ghat-triq fejn miet, waqt li 1-qniepen ta' San Pawl bdew jindaqqu b'ghaggla b'sinjal ta' allarm lill-irt1Uia tal-qrib. Assemblea Nazzjonali Dan !-inCident ikrah kien biss reazzjoni spontanja ta' folia offiza u rrabjata izda 1-Maltin mill­ ewwel fehmu 1-htiega li jorganizzaw ruhhom tajjeb. L-ghada stess, fit-3 ta' Settembru, folia nies mir-Rabat hatret b'akklamazzjoni lin-Nutar Rabti Emmanuele Vitale bhala Kmandant Generali tal­ Maltin. Gurnata wara, fl-4 ta' Settembru, fil-Banka Curatali f1-lmdina, giet iffurmata Assemblea Nazzjonali b'erba deputati u diversi ufficjali, fosthom Lorenzo Bugeja, segretarju. F'din 1-Assemblea Emmanuele Vitale gie konfermat Kap Kmandant tat-Truppi, waqt li r-Rettur tal-Grotta ta' San Pawl, Fra Ludoviku Savoye, gie moghti 1-kariga mportanti li jiddraftja d-dokumenti u karti ufficjali ta' l-Assemblea u jkun il-kustodju tagt1hom. 1 Billi 1-isem u 1-hidma fejjieda ta' Savoye intesiet kwazi ghal kollox, hsibt li issa li qed joqrob it-tieni centinarju ta' dawn il-grajjiet drammatid, nfakkar il-hidma ta' Savoye kemm bhala rettur tal-Grotta u 1-Kulegg taht tlett saltniet, kif ukoll bhala kittieb u kustodju tad-Dokumenti kollha ta' l-Assemblea Nazzjonali tal-Maltin tul il-hakma FranciZa. Savoye fl-Ordni ta' San Gwann Ludoviku Savoye, ghalkemm ta' nisei franciz, twieled f'Malta fil-25 ta' Frar 17572 u ta' eta zghira dana! fl-Ordni ta' San Gwann fejn ta' 25 sena lat1aq Segretarju tai-Lingwa ta' Provenza. Missieru li kien jgt1ix Franza kien imexxi negozju tal-laring minn Rue Therese, Parigi u ibnu Ludoviku kien jesportalu 1-laring minn diversi gonna f'Malta ghax il-laring ta' Malta kien maghruf ukoll ghat-tjubija tieghu, specjalment fi Franza. Nafu li xi drabi kien jinbaghat b'rigallill-xi kapijiet ta' stati u personaggi gholjin. Fl-Arkivju ta!-Grotta insibu volum ta' korrispondenza b'130 ittra bil­ Franciz li missier Ludoviku kien jibgt1atlu. Dawn 1-ittri miktuba fuq medda ta 8 snin (1777-1784) jipprovdu hafna taghrif fuq gonna Maltin, kwalita ta' laring u hlasijiet li riedu jinghataw Iii sidien u bejjiegi1a tal-laring f'Malta. Niehu gost insemmi li Prof. Alain Blondy ta' 1-Universita ta' Sorbonne gewwa Parigi qed ihejji studju dettaljat a ba:li ta' dawn 1-ittri fuq 1-industrija tal-laring f'Ma!ta b'konnessjoni ma' Franza. Fl-eta ta' 30 sena, fl-1787, Ludoviku Savoye inhatar qassis konventwali ta' 1-0rdni. F'ittra f'dik 1-okka:ljoni il-Kavallier Loras wassal Iii missier Ludoviku 1-awguri ta' 1-istess Gran Mastru ghall­ imgieba gt1aqlija ta' dan il-Konvetwal ta' 1-0rdni (ittra numru 124, miktuba fit-3 t'Awissu 1787). Savoye mahtur Rettur tai-Kullegg Fit-3 ta' Novembru 1793, il-Kolleggjali tai-Kullegg ircevew zewg ittri, wat1da mill-Gran Prijur ta' San Gwann, Menville, i!-Kap Spiritwali ta' 1-0rdni; u J-ot1ra mill-Qassis Konventwal Ludoviku Savoye. F'ta 1-ewwel Menvile gharrafuom li !-Gran Mastru ghogbu jatltar Rettur gdid, Jill- Ludoviku Savoye u t-tieni mir-Rettur stess li gharrafuom li !-gt1ada kellu jigi wara 1-Ghasar biex jiltaqa' maghhom bhala Rettur taghhom. Fl-istess zmien ir-Rettur ta' qabel, Fra Antonio Crogna, li kien ukoll Dekan tal-Kapitlu tal-Kattidral (nomina tal-Granmastru), hatar ukoll Kogitur tieghu, lill-Fra Ferdinando Mattei (aktar tard Isqof ta' Malta) fil-kapitlu tal-Kattidral. Il-hidma twila tar-rettur Savoye kienet mimlija hidma f'mumenti drammatid u storid ghal pajjizna u gt1all-istess Grotta. Naqsmu fi tlett perjodi skond it-tlett saltniet li hakmu '!-Malta tul ir­ rettorat tieghu. Tul il-t1idma tieghu huwa laqgt1a fil-Grotta bosta personaggi distinti fosthom vizitaturi barranin li kitbu dwar i!-Grotta.3 Zmien 1-0rdni (1793 - 1798) Dawn is-sitt snil) kienu zmien ta' prosperita kbira, ghax il-beni 1i kien t1alla lill-Grotta 1- ___________________I_I-_F_<e~s-·t_i_~_,_a~g~h_l_la __ -__ 1_9_9_6 ______________________ ~~ Granmastru Wignacourt fis-sena 1617 kienu gcw zviluppati tajjeb mill-kollegjali ta' qabel, il­ kostmzzjonijil't InL'htiei-;a kienu tll'stew kollha, u 1-Kullegg kien fi stat floridu u jgawdi prestigju kemm f'Malta u kemm fost il-barranin. Malli beda, akkwista gt1all-Kwartier tar-Rettur ritratt pittura tal-Gran lv1astru [k Rohan, li kien hatm. Huwa saht1ah u kabbar il-Kunvent bin-numm kostanti ta' kollegjali, sagrist,mi u mpjegati kif ukoll b'ohrajn sopra numru li kienu jservu bla hlas bit-tama li jigu magt1zula malli jkun hemm vaganza. Huwa gab ukoll Iron jew Iu:Zell gdid fil-Kullegg, ghal meta jigi !-Gran Mastru. Haseb ukoll biex jiftah mill-gdid is-sotto passagg mill-Grotta ghall-Kullegg li kien ingt1alaq xi snin qabel, halli 1-Grotta tigi ndukrata ahjar. F'dan il-perjodu miet il-Gran Mastm De Rohan u lahaq Hompesch. Fil-25 ta' Jannar 1795 laqa' fil-Grotta lid-Dukessa FranciZa D'Esclissae li kienet giet Malta minn Barcellona u wara zjara fil-Buskett giet tara 1-Grotta ta' San Pawl. Zmien il-Franciii F'Gunju 1798 Malta giet okkupata mill-Francizi u Napulun kecca r-religjuzi barranin minn Malta, fosthom lill-istess Hompesch. Savoye baqa' Malta ghax ghalkemm ta' nsel FranCiz huwa kien Malti u bhal bosta mill-poplu u kleru FranciZ kien kontra r-Repubblikani. Fil-15 ta' Gunju huwa mar isellem f'ismu u f'isem il-komunita tal-Kullegg Jill-Gran Mastm Hompesch qabel dan halla 1-gzira gt1al-Irieste.4 Il-Francizi hadu mill-ewwel it-Iezori tal-Knejjes ta' 1-0rdni izda b'xorti tajba insew biss lill­ Grotta, li fl-ahhar mill-atlr1ar ghalkemm tapparteni lill-Ordni dejjem kienet amministrata direttament mill-kollegjali. Il-Maltin ma tnaffrux meta serqu 1-fided ta' 1-0rdni, ghax kienu t-tezori tal-barrani, izda tnaffru meta dar u gt1at-tezori tal-Knejjes tal-Maltin. Iul il-hakma Franciza 1-kollegjali komplew bl-uffizjatura kuljun bl-ilbies ta' 1-ordni, nehhew biss is-salib bit-tmien ponot mimi fuq il-muzzetti u mit-Iron tal-Gran Mastru·5 lzda fit-2 ta' Settembru il-Maltin bdew il-moviment tal-Qawmien kontra l-FranCizi li fih Savoye kellu sehem kbir. Sar hafna talb fil-knejjes tant li fid-19 ta' Settembru u fid-9 ta' Novembru 1- kapitlu tal-Kattidral mexxa zewg procesjonijiet ghall-Grotta ta' San Pawl. Fdan iz-zmien 1-Isqof Labini u !-Gran Prijur Menvillo kienu mblukkati fil-Belt. Is-segretarju tal­ Kullegg kien id-djaknu Gu:Zeppi Camenzuli li kien wasal biex jordna sacerdot. Ir-Rettur Savoye irranga mal-Vigarju Generali u Logutenent tad-Djocesi fl-lmdina, il-Kanonku Mikiel Ang Dimech, biex jibghatu ghand 1-Arcisqof ta' Palermo ma' frejgata Ingliza biex jigi ordnat sacerdot hemm, kif fil-fatt gara. Fl-Imnarja tal-1799 il-Kapitlu tal-Kattidral gie bt1as-soltu bil-Purcissjoni fil-Knisja ta' San Pawl, izda wara gtmnel zjara specjali lill-Grotta (fl-imghoddi qabel dat1al 1-0rdni, il-kapitlu kien izur biss il-Grotta). F'din iC-cirkustanza speejali, barra 1-Kapitlu kien hemm ukoll il-Gurati u 1-Logutenent tal-Kmandant Ingliz. FJannar ta' wara (1800) ghall-Primi Vespri tal-Festa ta' San Publiju gie wkoll il-Kmandant Alexander Ball, li kien int1atar Gvernatur ta' Malta f'isem ir-Re ta' Sqallija u Napli.

    MALTESE E-NEWSLETTER 189 October 2017 1 MALTESE E-NEWSLETTER 189 October 2017 By POLITICO The Malta and European Union flags around the Auberge de Castille in Valletta | EPA/Domenic Aquilina For Malta, the EU’s smallest country with a population of around 420,000, its first shot at the rotating presidency of the Council of the EU was pitched as the island’s coming-out ceremony. For smaller member countries, the presidency is as an extended advertising campaign, giving airtime to a country normally barely on the radar of the world’s media. But with potential calamity never far from the door in the form of Brexit, the migration crisis and other problems, the presidency also has a vital diplomatic role — brokering agreement among 28 nations with often wildly differing agendas. At times, cat-herding looks like a vastly simpler profession. Tasked with leading discussions between EU governments as well as negotiating draft laws with the European Parliament, the role is at the centre of what Brussels does best: legislating. (Or at least attempting to.) And Malta turned out to be rather good at it — negotiating deals to push through legislation in dozens of policy areas. Prime Minister Joseph Muscat, who once led opposition to EU membership in the island’s 2003 referendum, described the opportunity as “fantastic” when POLITICO interviewed him earlier this year. He and his ministers took full advantage of the many press conferences that placed them alongside EU’s political elite, who were gushing in their praise of Muscat at the closing Council summit last week.

  • Coleridge's Malta
    From The Coleridge Bulletin The Journal of the Friends of Coleridge New Series 29 (NS) Summer 2007 © 2007 Contributor all rights reserved http://www.friendsofcoleridge.com/Coleridge-Bulletin.htm Coleridge’s Malta1 Barry Hough and Howard Davis ____________________________________________________________________________________________ N 1809 when Coleridge was prompted to write about his time in Malta by the I death of Sir Alexander Ball, the late Civil Commissioner whom he so much admired, he recorded that he regarded his stay on the Island as “in many respects the most memorable and instructive period of my life”.2 As those familiar with Coleridge’s history recall, Coleridge had arrived on Malta in May 1804 predominantly to liberate himself from opium dependency. Coleridge impressed Ball, whom he met shortly after his arrival. Coleridge originally replaced Edmond Chapman as under-secretary3 during the latter’s absence from Malta on the speculative corn mission, about which more will be said below. However, following the death of the Public Secretary and Treasurer, Alexander Macaulay, on 18th January 1805, Coleridge was appointed as a temporary replacement pending Chapman’s return to the Island, although he declined to act as Treasurer. In contrast to his role as under-secretary, the Public Secretaryship contained formal responsibilities and in taking on the position he assumed a post second in civil dignity to that of the Civil Commissioner. He thus found himself at the heart of government. The purpose of this article is to outline the legal, political, administrative and economic challenges encountered by the British administration in the period 1800-1809 in which Coleridge had assumed an important role, as well as to venture some comments about the coherence of British policy.
