A duel took place in Washington on Monday

ed fatal to Mr.. Cooke, the ball entering ms

When will there be measures taken by our

recount the many valuable officers, which have
lately fallen victims to this barbarous practice
We could call to mind Decatur, the brightest

since, we had to record the death ofyoung

seral accomplishments, should be sought not
merely with view to the circles of fashion,
but alsoto domestic and social life. And here
sacred music often opens source OF refined
pleasure. Scarcely never does the youthful
hand appear more interesting, or more IN The
enjoyment of friendly, refined and virtuous
feelings, than when spending an evening hour
in this hallowed employment; and scarcely can
there be scene more grateful to the heart OF
parent than when retiring from the cares and
turmoils of the world to the bosom of his ia
milv, he finds them around him cheerfully uni
ting in song of praise to the author OF their
blessings.
Does not also the subject demand attention
as an auxiliary to virtue? Are not the feelings
called into exercise, and the habits formed by
attending to it, congenial to every thing which
can adorn or dignity human nature? Has ex-
perience ever discovered that schools for sac
red music, when well regulated, have awakened
desires for extravaganza, or given one quali-
cation or impaired one secret wish for scenes
of revelry and dissipation On the contrary
is not their tendency decidedly friendly to re-
fined feelings and to virtuous, habits Are they
not worthy of encouragement on account of
the,nhuence they shed upon private and pub
lie happiness?
If therefore this science has favorable in
fluence upon religion and morality in general,
and upon the principles and habits of the rising
race; is it not of some consequence to diffuse
more extensively correct knowledge of its
principles, and relish for its beauties.

FROM MARACAIBO

The sloop Sally, arrived yesterday
sailed from the above place on the goth OF
April. Captain Williams, has favored US
with papers to the 18th, and the following
verbal intelligence. The schr. Lottery.
of Baltimore, carried TO Maracabo, from
Curacao, the Presidents message, rela-
tive to the recognition OF the South Ame-
rican States, which occasoned great re-
joicIngs. An illumination of the lnten-
dant's palace, firing of rockets from the
public square &c. took place on the occa-
sion. The Spanish forces under General
Morales made their appearance at Alta
Gracia, opposite Maracaybo on the 3Oth
March, and occupied the coast to Punta
de Palmas, about Is miles. 1t was report
ed this force consisted of about 5000 men,
about one half of which were raw troops,
in consequence OF this position of the roy
alists, the intendant OF Maracaibo (Gen.
CIementini issued proclamation on the
9th of April, declaring the city under mar
tial law.
The Patriot force at Maraeaibo, consist
ed of the battalion of Tiradores de la
Guardia. It, col. de Remboldt, The batal-
lion of Carabobo, Col. Brandt, the batal-
lion of the city, a brigade OF artillery, and
200 cavalry, the whole under the COM
mand OF col. Jose de los Helos. In addi-
ton to these, detachment OF 500 infan-
try was ordered from Rio de la Hache, the
van guard of which arrived the day before
the Sally sailed. Dispatches had also
been sent to Col. Penanzo, who had arriv-
ed at Coro from Caracas, and was hour
ly expected with force of 1000 infantry,
and 200 cavalry, well mounted. He had
received supplies from Curacao, and in
tended Immediately to commence opera
tons. His cavalry was detached from the
army of Gen. Paez
From all the circumstances, and the po
sition OF General Morales, it was believed
he would not be able to effect retreat.
Gen. Paez was besieging Porto Ca ello,
with respectable force, and the place
was closely blockaded by sea, so that no
supplies could be introduced.
Ihe coast OF Coro was also blockaded
by patriot force of five vessels under the
command of Com. beluche,
By the last accounts received at Mara
caibo, the Liberator, President Bolivar
had arrived at Popayan, to open the cam
pa.gn. Several letters lad been received
from the Vice President al Santa Fe de
Bogota, rom which it appeared that the
campaign would result favorably to the
Colombian army.

one expression in this Turkish paper, re-
garding the excuses committed against
the Greeks--'H some christian Temple,
saws the Note, s.has been unlagfully fe.

sentence neither admits nor denies the
charge urged by the Greeks, and the nus.

malicious destruction of their sacred tenn
pies by The Infatuated and barbarous
Turks, but in the language OF doubt, n.y.

been unlawfully demolished, they shall be

The great subject Of attention, with US,
has been all along, the course intended TO
be pursued by the British and AustrIans.

evidence Of the fact, it seems now to ne
understood, that even If their attempts at
mediation shall not succeed they 90 not
intend to take part in the contest. but re,

Turkey will have the controversy all TO

before thistime, some decisive blow should
have been struck. We think the conflict
will be unequal, but at the same time ter
rlble. The Turks when brought up TO
the pitch of enthusiasm which has often
animated them, make brave, but fierce and
sangunary soldiers, and they fight with
desperation.
