or something worse than lost. Every y-xith, who has any capacity of inclina­tion for the acquirement of knowledge^ will have some favorite studies, in which he will be likely to escel. It is certain­ly then much better that he should be permitted to pursue tbost, than that by being forced to attend to others for which he has an aversion) and in which he will never eWei, or ever make com­mon proficiency, he should finally ac­quire a dislike to all study.

6 A sixth defect is the prescribing the length of time for completing, as it ts termed, course of education. By these means, the good scholar is placed near­ly on a level with the sluggard ; for whatever may be his exertions, he can gain nothing in respect to time, and the latter has, in consequence of this, less stimulus for exertion.

From the National Gazette. Cedomlnei.—The Manifesto of the

Executive department of the Govern­ment of Colombia, vein ting to the insur-lection in Venezuela, and dated the 30th April last, has been received at this office.

The Executive government vindi­cates itself from the charges which General Paez has brought against it in his ietleis to Bolivar and his proclama­tions ;—it accuses him of inconsistency and dissimulation ; states that he has raised the standard of rebellion ; avers that Venezuela has been subjected by military violence, to a revolutionary and unconstitutional dominion; and acknowledged that his traitorous and rebellious proceedings have arrested and shaken the Republic on hs march, and inflicted a deep wound on the na­tion by the terrible example of military revolt.

According to this document, the de­partment of Venezuela, General Paez himself and the armed force stationed in that department, were objects of the particular favor, and indeed partiality, of the general government ; and he and his soldiers, are guilty of " special ingratitude" as well as high treason When so early as February, 1824, jealous and factious discontents were

GREECE. The French Admiral Rigny has de­

stroyed a great many piratical vessels in the Archipelago. He found the brave f'anaris among the pirates and in t»reat danger, he having gone there to try to put a stop to their excesses. The Greek Government issued a proclama­tion, dated June Slh, for putting an end to piracy.

It is reported that Tripolitza has been retaken from the Tuiks by storm, and that Admiral Miauiis had destroyed iwo Turkish frigates in the Dardanel­les. The Admiral was wailing to join Lord Cochrance.

Accounts from Z.inte to June 10, had reached Paris. Lord Cochrane was ex­pected immediately in the Archipelag <. The Archbishop of Patras, Germanios, the Count IMetaxas, and the petwMM of the greatest influence, who directed the insurrei tion <>f the Hellenists, .:re at the head of the Greek Government. Col. FabVier had a carte blanche, to act as he may think conducive to the public service. They had succeeded in procu­ring him 35,000 piastres lor the pay­ment of his regiment, clothing for which had been furnished by the Greek com­mittee at Paris.

A letter from Aujjsburg, of the 2.">th of July, says, the Anglo-Ionian Author­ities at Corfu, have-published that the Greek Government at Napoli de Ro­mania, had received intelligence, that a corps of Arabs, of-4 or 5000 men, had advanced upon the province of Maina, and summoned the inhabitants to sub­mit and, that the latter, who were in a state of defence, begged to commuu icate with Ibrahim Pacha in person, which, not being granted, they fell upon the Arabs unawares, and after a bloody action completely routed them, cause-ing them a loss of 2000 men.

Russia.—The police are still very vigilant at St. Petersburgh. Letters and packets are opened at the post of­fice. It is supposed about a dozen of the conspirators will be shot, and a great number banished to Siberia. The Emperor Nicholas is full of activi­ty, and appears to be growing popular.

It is our painful duty to announce the sudden death of the Hon. WILLIAM

P VAN NESS. He died yesterday about 3 o' clock, at the house of J. O. Hodman, esq. without a moment's sick­ness or any apparent pain. Judge Van Ness, afier having filled several honor­able public stations under the state go­vernment, has been for the last fourteen years the U. S. district judge for the southern district of New-York. During that period the vast business of the dis­trict court of New-York, constantly presented the most important questions —many of them almost without prece­dent in public or commercial law.—

These constantly brought before him the exercise of the highest legal talents of the state and even of the nation. In the discharge of these judicial duties, he displayed a truely legal and original mind, capable of seizing and elucida­ting the most difficult and complicated subjects; while in all his written opin­ions, he gave equal evidence of various learning and elegant scholarship.
