Defects ofpolite Conversation.
Tt is, perhaps, one of the most alarming
symptoms of the degeneracy of morals in
tie present day, that the distinctions of*
right and wrong are always swept away in
{lolite conversation. The most serious of.
bne.es, are often named with cool indiffer
ence i the most shameful profligacy with
effected tenderness, and indulgent tolera
tion. The substitution of the word gal
lantry for that crime which stubs domestic
happiness ai d conjugal virtue, is one of
the nivist dangerous of all modern utilises
of language. Atrocious deeds should ne
wer be called by names. This must ccr
tainK contribute, more than any thing, to
diminish the horror of vice in the rising ge
■erstiui I hat our passions should be too
■often engaged on the side o f error, We may
look i tin cause though pot for the vin
dication. in the • mrestated propensities of
Ottrcon .t uti< •; but that our reason should
ever be cniphiyed in its favor, that our
conversation should everbe taught to pul

- look on it with indifference, |)aa no shad

no foundation in nature, no anologv in

People who are resolved to-plena* al

One account from Madrid, to the Ssth,
states that the capital was then tranquil;
that Cadiz still hcklout; that the king had

would avail themselves; and that tranquil

Another account states, in substance,
that the amnesty was indignantly rejected;
that Cadiz was in possession of the Insur
gents; that the insurrection was general in
the tooth of Spain, embracing the troops,
clergy ami people; that the Insurgent army
was augmented to 3u,(H7h; that Madrid it

The minister of justice has advised a

has thought it better to wait till tranquil

the command of Gen. Joseph O’Donm 1,
with which he was marching to join Gen
Frey re, have deserted him and gone over
‘w the insurgents. Gen Cruz Murgo, who
commanded a djvition of troops, having
suspicion of their fidelity, lias dismissed

our government, which perseveres in its
system. The intendanf of Barcelona, Don

Tribunals of justice have uniformly re
quired it to be established, by cle ir and
unequivocal evidences that the party pro
ceeded agaihst has had due notice of the
existence of an actual blockade.
Secondly. It is not the accidental ab
sence of the blockading force that will be
•sufficient to remove the blockade. But,
, ifthe relaxation happen, not by such acci
dent, hut hy the lemi'iuess of the cruisers
stationed to maintain the blockade, then
it is impossible fir a Cmut of Justice to
sav that the blockade is actually existing.
Thirdly. The very notion of a complete,
blockade’includes, that the besieging force
can apply power to every point of the
blockaded state. If it cannot, there is np
bfockade. ,
Fourthly. Tt is at all times must de
sirable that thp blockade should be declar
ed in a public and distinct manner-, instead
of being left to creep out, from the consc
quences produced by it.
Cultivation of the Grape, Olive, See.
The following extract of a letter to a
Senator in Congress is worth the attention
of planters as well as of statesmen .-
“l am very much gratified by the ap
pearance of conviction, that our soils, cli
mates, and general capacities are likelvto
give us the grape vine and its fabrications,
upon a great and piofituble scale. When
our cotton becomes 160 millions of pounds
and our sugar 60 millions, we shall feel
deeply the want of other ob jects of cul
tivation and production. The vine is to
France, 100,000,000 of dollars.
Now (V) million* of Sugar at SSB, are ft 4,800,000
and 100/000,000 cotton at 15 ct*. i* 24,000,000
826.800,000
Surely this is a matter worthy of itteu*
tbn, at any time, and especially at this mo
ment of general difficulties, when sugar,
cotton, rice, and tobacco, with grain, are
falling in our markets; and the culture of
indigo is suspended.
The olive ought not to be lost sight of,
nor the date.
I observe in the accounts of India, that it
is stated that they manufacture much oil
from the seeds of hemp, flax, and other ve
getables. Among the productions raised
for the manufacture of oil, is the vine or
bush producing beans or pulse, called by
the Africans the btmey or benney, and call
ed in Indostan the “ sesamum in botanv
“ sesnmum orientate," It has been brought
into South Carolina by the African ships, is
raised there, and its oil has been sent hith
er and to New-York, as salid oil, in pre
sents, and for sale. I have tasted it at the
house of Dr. Mease here, and vised it, with
pleasure, in my family. -The pulse, bean,
or pea, when pressed and deprived ofhuich
pf its is excellent and plearmt food,
boiled alone, or with vegitables, which re
quire butter or oil. It would be well for
our government confidentially to instruct
our consuls and commercial agents to send
us this seed from Africa and Indostan.**

IMPORTANT FROM SOUTH AMERICA.
Capt. Lowe of tire schr.' Beisev Ann,
touched at Puerto Cabello on the 2Sth
Jatr. at which time the place was tranquil
and appeared to be well garrisoned. On
loth Feb. left Santa Martlra—on the day
previous, an express had arrived from
Maracaibo, stating the approach of the ■
Patriots. A proclamation w»s immediately
issued, drums beat, Stc. It was presumed
that both Maracaibo and Santa Martha
would fail into the possession of the Patri
ots in a very short time. These were the
first movements of their forces from New
Granada towards Venezuela. Bolivar had
left a garrison in St. Fe do Bogota, so
that it would appear that the accounts of
the Royalists having again possession of
that Capital are unfounded. Captain
Lowe’s informant had no doubt of the
success of the Patriots.— Bull. Amer.
