Extract of letter from that place, da-

moment received official accounts from
Gen. Paez, of his having surprised large
party of Spaniards at the village of Baul,
near San Carlos, and taken aud destroyed
tile whole i" the commanding officer was
made prisoner " No Sc escape uno," he
says; he further advises that Moiillo's
headquarters were at San Carlos, on ac-
count of the revolt of the Province of Co
10 (Which had been Away faithful 10 Fer
dinand, and their having taken Carracoa.
sMarucaybo is said TO have shaken off the
Spanish yoke. Gen. Morillo's situation
istruly desperate ; for as soon as the wealth
OF will allow, he will be attacked on all
sides by an overwhelming force. We
have received immense supplies of arms
and ammunition from America; and the
greatest harmony prevails amongst US, and
respect for foreign nations.

MEssRs. EDrToRs,-l have been surprised to
find that so small a number of the inhabitants of
this borough attend the Botanical Lectures now
delivering in the Courthouse. Botsnyis among the
most pleasing sciences, and the attention now paid
to it in most of our respectable towns must incline
the friends of improvement to wish that it should
excite more notice here. But it is probable that
many persons suppose the exhibition of Mr.. Dud-
geons transparent paintings, similar to those fire.
quent shows, by which the public are induced to
spend their money without profit. For the infor-
nation of such, it may be well 10 observe, that
these paintings were invented by the celebrated
botanist DR.. Thornton, and have been employed in
England with great success and appreciation. They
were afterwards sold to Mr.. Whitiow, for the sum
of ten thousand dollars and have been made nstru-
mental in teaching many hundred persons in the
United States The facility with which the science
may be acquired from them, cannot be imagined,
but by those who have paid little attention to the
subject. A very few lectures present the mind
with those leading principles of the Lnean system,
by which thorough knowledge OF botany may be
acquired These transparences are, in fact, to the
science of botany, what maps are to the study oil
geography.

Dsoperty, and 60 to Europe, as soon as it

4 We have, till lately, secure way TO
remit dollars by Panama, but the insurgent
vessels from Chill now swarm in these
scas, and capture many of our coasting
vessels. The Csstilian is the best oppor-
unity, and will probably go safe, as she
carries 26 guns, is well manned, aud sails
remarkably fast. Every one appears to
have confidence in this vessel, and as no
man of war is soon going, | presume she
win carry over $500, 900 in specie.
The crews OF the insurgent privateers
which infest these seas, are said TO consist
principalIy of English e. North Americans.
We know roihiDg certain, however, as no
one has as yet been captured by cur cruz
zars-to their shame be it said.

were to arrest all the suspected, they
would hardly know when and where to
stop.

Latest from Caraccas.-A Caracas
Gazette, ofthe 9th OF last month, has been
received 10 this city, which contains an
official dispatch from the Governor of Gu
mana, Don Thomas de Ceres, TO General
MoriIIo, dated the first of November. He
states, that, having intercepted the enemy's
correspondence, he became apprised OF his
plan to attack him by sea and by land that
he Immediately took the necessary meas
ures to defeat it, who commenced the at
tack on the 3lst October with 1900 men,
commanded by Marino, Monies, and Ce-
demo that they were soon routed, and that,
On one road only, by which they fled, they
counted 100 men Killed, and took 800
nuskets. The account adds, that the
royal troops continued in pursuit of the
enemy, with directions to follow him as
far as Cumanacoa.

If il should be sad that there is no great utility
to be derived from knowledge of botany; it may
be replied, that all those studies which lead directly
TO the contemplation of the power and wisdom Of
the Creator, are proper for man. and must natural
ly expand and elevate the mind. Every thing
which helps US to extend our rational powers and
at the same time to give US practical knowledge,
must be desirable.
While it is anxiously desired that the young, es-
pecialy of the tcnderer sex, should be qualified
for holding an interesting rank in society while
great efforts are made to render them highly ac-
complished, it is to be regretted that more pains
should not be bestowed upon their solid improve
ment Give them some relish for scientific pur.
suits-some insight into the works of nature ena-
bic them TO improve walk in the field, and to
have some idea of those things of which they hard
iy know the names; and they will be less DESTROYS
to waste their time in frivolous conversation in
lettering consumption of time, in the perusal Of
those volumes of nonsense, which not only fail to
enlarge the understanding, but which tend to poison
the heart.
There are few studies which can be made sub
servient to more innocent and unwearying recrea-
ton, than botany. 1t is most peculiarly calculated
to fill the mind with peasurable emotions and to
calm and sweeten the temper Go then,
-" Mark the matelless workings of the power,
That shuts within the seed the future flower;
Bids these, in elegance of form excel,
In colour these, and those delight the smell;
Sends nature forth, the daughter of the skies.
To dance on earth, and charm all human eyes"

POLAR EXPEDITION.

M On Thursday sen'night Mr.. Fisher, an
officer belonging TO the .Dorathea, Capt.
Buchan, arrived at the admiralty with
dispatches, announcing the return of that
ship and her coasort, the Trent sloop,
from the Arctic Seas. 1t appears that the
highest latitude the ships ever attained was
about so, 3o--longilade IL east. They
attempted proceeding to the westward,
but as in the case of Capt. Phipps, in the
Race Horse, in 1873, they found an i'm
penetrable barrier Of ice. The ships pro-
ceeded nearly over the same space as
Capt. Phipps did, and met with similar
impediments as experienced by that off
Ger. The Dorothea and Trent are on
their way to Deptford. They arrived on
Thursday sen'night in Scarborough roads.
I'VE are sorry TO learn that one of the ships
has sustained considerable damage, having
been caught between two floating iceberghs
the collision of which was so great that
she was lifted completely out of the water.
Her irons were all forced and her ribs
broken, and we understand it has been
with great difficulty she has been able to
make port.
These are the ships which were equip
ped with view to their reaching the
Pole, and entering the Pacific Ocean by
Behring's Straits. This is, we believe
the 18th or 18th failure TO accomplish the
daring project Of crossing the Polar re-
sions,
