AVw Orleans Courier. THE TEA PLANT.
It has been doubted whether there is more
than one variety of the tea plant. Dr. Abel
is inclined to believe there arc two, but that
cither will yield both the black and green
teas, according to the mode of preparation.
Dairy tuple thinks the principal difference be
tween the black and green u the age of the
loaf the latter being prepared when the leaf
is in a less mature state, and while it contains
a quantity of viscid, and to a certain degree
narcotic juice, which gives the peculiar character of the hyson teas. Abel remarks, that leaves slowly dried will retain more of the green color than those that arc rapidly dried.
The green tea is carefully dried by exposure to the opt n air in the shade, the black' by ar tificial heat, in shallow pans over a charcoal fuc. The difference of latitude in which I these teas arc cultivated will show the differ-

arc the gunpowder, with a leaf rolled quite

Of the black teas, the tin ce following are the best: 1st. the Pouchong, of a peculiar deli

use only the-black teas, and prepare the oth

and now about 22,000,000 ol pounds are an
nually consumed there; in the rest of Europe more than five millions, and about as much in
ennedto persevere in the war, and to bring increased power into the field, having rejected all the offers of mediation made by the allied powers, and being determined to obtain full indemnity fcr ttr past and ample security for the future. The Porte, on the other hand, has become tnore confident and more determined, in consequence of the success which has crowned his first contests with Russia ; and is preparing a naval force to aid Ms military power during the next campaign.
Thus there appears to be no prospect of an
immediate termination ol the war. There
icction of the offers of mediation has caused
some perplexity among tin: other power of
Europe, who arc in doubt and consultation as
to the best means to be adopted lor the ptotcction of their own interests, which seem to he placed at hazard by the protraction of the conflict. A London paper, speculating on the course which; England, France, and Austria may deem t necessary to pursue, says 11 A declaration of heir determination to protect their own interests Horn any injury which may result from the contest is anticipated by some, and seems the more probable, from the apparent despair of doing any thing by mediation between the belligerents themselves." Since the above was written we have a statement, fia Boston, brought by a later arrival, tlmt a meeting of Ambassadors had been held at Constantinople, representing to the Sultan the desire of Russia to treat with
him on moderate terms, and that he replied
that if Russia 'was sincere and moderate in
her proposals, he would send an Ambassador
to any place they might appoint.

Ih the House of Representatives, after the preliminary business of the day, Mr. Hamilton, from the Select Committee on Retrenchment, offered the following report and resolutions : " The Committee on Retrenchment beg leave to report That having presented to the House various bills and resolutions, consequent on such abuses, legislative and administrative, to which they thought a corrective ought to be be applied, (upon which bills and resolutions the shortness of the session, and the interposition of bills of a public nature, having priority on the calendar, have nrccluded the action of Congress,) they deem
it important before the close of their labors,
that the House should distinctly express its opinion on the following cardinal subjects ol oublic economy
1. fie it further resolved. That as no free
nconlc should be burdened with unnecessary
taxation, it is expedient to pay its public debt
with all convenient dispach.
2. Resolved. That this House has a right
to expect, that the executive will submit to Congress, at its next session, a comprehensive system of retrenchment, which shall ex tend to the lopping off all useless offices, and lo the securing a more offective accountability in those which arc retained. 3. Resolved, That a retrenchment of the fixed account as centigent expenditures of Congress, is indispensably ncscssary, more
especially the last, which arc essentially liable to abuse M Mr. Hamilton alluded to the numerous subjects which had occupied so much of the attention of the House since the commence ment of its sitting; the Oregon Ten itory question, the Cumberland Road bill, and other matters; the prolonged discussion of -which rendered it wholly impracticable to act at this late period of the session, upon the
-various propositions summittcd by the Committee on Retrenchment. He urged the immediate consideration of the report which he had presented, in order, that instead of the Sabot s of the Committee being utterly devoid of utility, they might be bequeathed as a letracv to the ensuing Congress. U. S. Telegraph. Letters from Panama of Jan. 25th, state that the Peruvian ilect, commanded by Admiral Guise, attacked the Columbian fleet in the pcit of Guayaquil in December last. The latter was protected by the Columbian batteries. The action was very severe without being decisive to cither party. About 300 men were killed, including Admiral Guise, the Peruvian commander, (an Englishman,) whose body had been cent to Lima. A, Y. Mcr. 1Jv.

It was then thought that they had been arrested in one of the small post towns in Ky., but it seems that such was not the case, as they had succeeded in avoiding his pursuers until yesterday, w hen he was arrested in this city by the vigilant captain and lieutenant of our city guard. He had assumed the name of Martin, and when captured, resisted like one in a state of des pcration, being armed with a rifle, pocket pistols, and a large dagger.
