The London Morning Chronicle of the 18th

Manchester serious riot has taken place, ori-

rate from total want of means, to resist the off

things occur, what must take place i'll the small

CULTIVATION OF TEA IN SPAIN.

(Eatracied from French Periodiral HWk.)
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

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.

In another part of this paper will be
found accounts from Colombia of a most un-
promising nature. The government is a.
bolished, and the republic declared to be ''in
a state of complete dissolution" Bolivar's
republcanism is doubted, and he is begin
ming to be looked upon as no longer i6e-
,'ator, but despot. He, according to our
late accounts, intends to remain in Peru,
OF which country he will take upon himself
the title and authority Of Dictator. 1t is
feared the public have been egrcgiously de-
ceived in the character of this professed Pat
riot. and the presents which have been made
to him by citizens of this country through
the good Lafayette, as well as the enviuus
cpithets which have been heaped upon him
in honor of his career, have been greatly
misapplied.
