Molti dei profughi e poi diversi liberali maltesi che s'identificavano con il movimento italiano e cercavano di intravedere l'ispirazione a un movimento analogo maltese, collaborarono anonimamente al giornale.

Ma appena arrivato, Costanzo, insieme con Salvatore Tornabene, fondo un foglio, II Corriere maltese, che, a causa degli attacchi scagliati contro il Re di Napoli e la sua famiglia, svelo in poco tempo lo scopo reale dei due scrittori (Fiorentini, 1966: 47). Costanzo, scrittore teatrale, si dedico attivamente al giornalismo e fondo un secondo giornale, L'Aristide. La sua convinzione rivoluzionaria e evidente dalla definizione che d di Lamennais: "Lamennais nella Schiavitu moderna, nel Libro del popolo e in altre sue opere, sempre difende i diritti dei meschini dispotizzati, e grida contro l'arbitrarieta de' tempi" (Costanzo, 1841: 4). Costanzo, anzitutto, cerco di propagare a Malta il sentimento ribelle di cui era animato quando nel 1841 pubblico il libro Ragioni che mi spinsero ad emigrare dal proprio paese.

  14. 1 2 3 "In 1901 the first important Nationalist paper in Maltese, II-Poplu Malti, sold more than the Savonian Malta Ghada Taghna, and about twice as much as Emmanuele Dimech's Il-Bandiera tal-Maltin. The manner of language and approach of such papers was generally less inhibited, or more explicit - all too explicit at times - than was the case with either the Italian or English language Maltese papers. Socially, culturally and politically they were of the utmost importance and began to unravel a dimension of Maltese social life which had hitherto not come out into the open so much or at all."
