1he cultivation Of tea, confined to China for
many centuries, begins to spread into other parts
of the earth. 1t was introduced into Brazil 90
years ago, by colony of Chinese established in
that country. AS it will flourish i'll almost every
part OF South America, and in the Southern states
of the United States, it will soon become an i'm.
portant article of cultivation and commerce in
America, and even in otherquarters of the world
The Society of Friends, of the country of the
kingdom OF Valencia, in Spain, has offered pre-
MUM of three hundred reals to any one that will
raise tcrop OF twenty pounds OF tea, rolled and
separated, and having the same qualities and
favour as that imported from China. Is is like
~ that the tea plant would succeed perfectly in
some parts OF the south of France.


The beautiful conclusion of the Presidents 3
Message, where he alludes to the death of the
venerable Patriots, Adams and Jefferson, has
been universally admired as one Of those felici-
tous tnrns which mark all his compositions But
there is one beauty in it which is not generrlly
observed: it is the delicaes alusion to his fathers
letter to his mother Of the Sd. Of July, 1776,
from which he borrows the "transiton from
Gloom to Glory" We give the extract to those
to whom it is not fanilar:-


Conclusion Of a letter from, John .7dams to 1frs


adams, dated Philadelphia, Juy Sd, 1776.


stYou will think me transported with enthus-
asln, but am not. | am well aware of the toll
and blood, and treasure, that it will cost us 70
maintain this declaration, and support these
States.--Yet, through all the aLooa can sec
the rays of light and GLORY; can sec that the
end is more than worth all the means, and that
posterity will triumph, although you and may
rue, which hope we shall not"

Mr.. KING; has arrived in this CITY, 1t is
rumoured, and with a strong probability that
it is correct, that he has brought with hrm
Convention from the British Government,
on the subject of the claims of our citizens,
for property taken during the late war, re-
specting which, differences of opinion have
existed between the Commissioners, sitting
in this City, under the authority OF the two
governments. BY this Convention, it is re-
ported, Great Britain agrees TO pay speci-
tic sum at once; the disposition and dstri5u-
tion of that sum to be regulated entirely by
the Government of the United States. 1t is
to be hoped, therefore, that the labours OF
the Commissioners will be now brought to a
close.


We presume. as nothing is said on the
subject, that the question in relation to the
West India trade remains in statu quo.
