' -t I First, as to the cinnamon culture. This production in its perfect state is almost a monopoly' of the Island of Ceylon, and its growth s confined to a very narrow tract Of land cjn the South west side of the Island, chiefly i, the neighborhood of Colombo. This does notseem to be the result of po liticalia;rrangement merely, but to arise frorh 6me-inappreciable virtue Un the combination of climate, soil, and water, and! ther relation to -'cacp other, in this part of it. : Some of these peculiarties it Hs easy ;o indicate without its being easy .r ! i i 1 ; i L l .1 a " to unaerstana wny me particular conse quence; jshould 'follow, i The tract of country in which alone the cinnamon grows to perfection, is situated on ine sea coast. exposed io the air of the It is in acclimate of equable tem ocean. perature, which is at once hot and moist from -the frequency and pleniifulness of rains. : jThe general level of the country is low in the midst of fresh Water lakes, iiv;iddfromJhe sea by a harrow riband of land j t And the water in the soil of the cmnamori gardens is 6f extraordinarv nu- ty, so as to be for that reason much in request in the neighboring city ' as a be v ajragt. thiexact combination! of influ enjjes does notbecur any where i else in the Island, at least not in the same de beeJ H f ";: " 7:h--. ; !

THE GAMBIER ISLES. : ' ' The Group called the Gambier Isles, of which France has, it is said, lately taken possession, is situate to the south-east of the Society Islands, being close to the tro pic of Capricorn, in twenty-three I and a half degrees of south latitude; jjfTJie four principal isles are MangarevkJjjTaravai. Akena, and Akamourou. Thej first; which which is the largest, forms the!) residence of the King and his chieftains! 1 These isles are but thinly populated, j I Mangare va and Taravai have noti together, more than from nineteen hundred to ; two thou sand inhabitants. The country is moun tainous. The extent of cultivated land is very limited, scarcely sufficient, in fact, for the support of this small population, in spite of well directed efforts to cultivate the soil. ' The produce of the country is the same as that of Tahiti arid the Mar quesas islands viz., the bread-fruit tree, the banana tree, and the sugar-cane. The vegetables of Europe have been imported by the missionaries with genera) success. Our fruit-trees and vines remain unpro ductive, in spite of all the care bestowed upon them. A French Missionary Socie ty has recently founded a small Govern ment in these isles, somewhat like that of the Jesuits in Paraguan. The missiona ries when they landed on the shores of Arkamourou. in August. 1834, found the inhabitants of the Gambier Iisles given up to every excess, and Avallowiri jin all the vices of savage life. The wretched tribes, abandoned to the horrors of cannibalism, 1 were tormented on one side by famine, and on the other by the fear of serving as provender for their chiefs. When a tem pest had rooted up the bread-fruit trees, and destroyed the crops, human flesh be came the only food of the inhabitants. The warriors actually hunted for men, in stead of, as usual, for wild animals. At the end of the year the strongest alone survived. The Missionaries! arrived at a season of abundance, or otherwise they too might have been devoured ! By their exertions, the obstacles thrown in their way by the native priesthood were suc cessively overcome, and thejking, togeth er with his chiefs, at length abjured idol: atry and became Christians, jets did finally ajl the inhabitants of 'the four isles. The high-priest himself was one: of the first don verts. , The missionaries have inee been employed in instructing the people, and teaching them the prts of civilization, cultivation of the soil, &c. jTrpxles have been taught, and workshops- for spinning and weaving established. Cotton abounds in the Archipelago. The hurricanes, how ever, which are very common .commit gjreatdevastation. During one night in May, 1841, all the workshops, houses, and churches, were destroyed liy a storm of wind. The French paperj from which these particulars are taken condemns the occupation of the Gambier slcjs as a new source of-expense, without any, commen surate advantage being derived to France.

This fort is one hundred miles west of Green river, and exactly half way from Independence to the Wallamette. The American trappers scattered amongst the mountains had there collected to meet the emigrants of last spring, an advanced par ty of thirty of whom, with their wagons and cattle, passed on the 17th, two days later than the emigration of the preceding year.

Tschech, how-ever.J obstinately refuses to d6 either, saying, ' iYou may do what you will w ith my body but I defy you to bend -the resolution of my soul.M The question of an appeal ex ojficiohas been discussed iri council and would be gladly adopted ; but it appears that there are technical obstacles which rehder it impossible.The story or the project of transporting this nian to an English1 penal colony has been formally contradicted by the Government. The King himself is determined that Tschech shall not be executed, saying that he will never suffer blood to be shed for an offence which vas exclusively person al against himself ;; and at a council held On the 2d instant, pn the Minister of Jus tice announcing that Tschech still persisT ted in refusing to appeal, fis 'Majesty de clared that, rather, than put him to death, he-would grant hifn a free pardem. This being remonstratejd against by the Minis ters as a dangerous measure, tending to encourage other enemies of the King to follow the example of Tschech, his Ma jesty replied : " Well, then, know that, if We cannot find other means of disposing of this man, I shall find myself reduced to do what Bernadotte did ten years ago.' The following is the circumstance to which the King of Prussia alluded : The Aften bald, or Evening Journal of Stockholm. published an article, -written and signed by M. Lindemann, one of its editors, for merly a captain of infantrv, but now di rector of the Seqond Theatre at Stock holm, in which he most severely criticis ed the directors of the Royal Theatre, and even went so far as to accuse them of pec ulation. As this theatre was directly un der the superintendence of the King him self, the article vas consideretLas a per-, sonal libel upon Jjis Majesty. Lindemann was tried before Jhe Royal Court of Swe den, found guilty! and sentenced to death. He; like Tschech, pertinaciously refused to make any application for pardon or commutation. jf His priso doors were left open, with anJintimation that if he would, make his escapelhe would not be pursued. But he replied that he would never disho nor his name by a base and cowardly flight. A pardonable manoeuvre was at last tried. His approaching excution was formally announced to him for the after noon of the same day, and a priest was introduced to prepare him for death. Still he remained inflexible, and with all de voutness recciveid the consolations of reli gion offered to hinv and calmly awaited his fate. This last means of bending the spirit of this impenetrable man having failed, the. King! with the unanimous con-; sent of his Ministers, granted a general amnesty to all political prisoners, in whiqh category Linderiiann stood.
