AGRICULTURAL.
= -.r_ .-.mnramnmr —
Tie following Observations and Dicefiiortf
refteßing th* culture ofFRUII', may
not be unacceptable to fetch as are mil
lbig to promote that elegant and delight
;fid branch of Agriculture.
tiVERY Tree should be planted with a good
La flake drove down by its fide, as high as the
stem is intended to be, to which it should be faft*
cried by firings to secure it from shaking by the
winds which would prevent its taking root. —
The firings must be loofcned as the Tree in
creafoin growth, a fmallbunch of straw should
be placed between the stake and Tree, to pre
vent its galling. Cut off smooth all roots which
are bruised or broken, or which (hoot directly
downwards ; spread the horizontal ones hand
somely and place them about fix or eight inch
es below the furface, on a mellow bottom of
pasture or garden mould, and fill the holes by
throwing in the earth lightly, gently Shaking
the Trees, and adding a little water to fettle it
to the roots, the whole being moderately pres
sed down with the foot, when the fide branch
es may be trimmed to the height intended for
the stem.
To make the Trees grow thrifty, the earth
where they are planted should be kept mellow
and free from grass and weeds; if the grass is al
lowed to form a fed round the Trees, it will
stunt their growth, and cause the fruit to be
small, if planted in grass ground, the foil for two
or three feet each way from the Trees, should
be turned over several times in afeafon to keep
ft 'mellow and prevent the grass matting around
them—if the sod continues round a Tree two
or three years after it is planted, the bark be
comes so hard that it will not expand, and' seldom
flourishes afterwards,
The rapid growth of the P^ach Tree fub
je&s it to premature decay, if left to itfelf, three
and four vigorous branches attract the whole
of the lap, and Carving their lateral branches,
grow to that extent as to be soon broken by
the winds, in which way they are mostly loft ;
to prevent this, great attention should be paid
to pruning them during their growth, aud tak
ing away all too luxuriant branches which may
be done at any season, without injuring the
Tree, when the plant has arrived to the intend
ed height of the Trunk of the Tree, it must be
flopped by nipping off the bud, which will oc
cafon it to fend outside branches, and no more
upright ones must be allowed to grow, the lat
eral branches must also from time to time be
flopped and taken out so as not to leave too great
a quantity of wood, which not only prevents the
Tree from producing its fruit so early, but ren
ders it inferior in quality. To procure the best
fruit, too much must never be left on the Tree,
as its size and goodness will very much depend
on the quantity.
Among fruits, one of the fined in kind, easiest
to cultivate, and which produces the surest and
most luxuriant crop, is the Grape, the vine flour
ishes in this town from high water mark to the
top of our hills, and in every situation bounti
fully rewards the hands of the attentive culti
vator ; —Cuttings of the belt kinds, may be
obtained from almost every gentleman's garden,
—they should be branches of the prefect year's
growth, cut from twelve to eighteen inches in
length, with a small knob of the wood of the
last year—these cuttings may be planted either
fall or spring, in garden or pasture mould, en
riched with a small quantity of good ripe man
ure, at the difiance of eight or ten feet apart,
they must be laid diagonally with the end or
part on which is the old wood downwards, and
buried eight or ten inches,leaving the two up
pgr buds just above the furface ; the earth must
be pressed about them, and if in the fall, the
buds should be covered with some flight cov
ering during the winter. More attention than
labour is required in the culture of the Grape;
when the Dud after being uncovered in the
Spring, begins to shoot ; if more than one ap
pears, the weakest must be taken off ; when
the shoot has grown the length of fix or eight
inches, small ones will appear coming out of
the joints of the main stem, which must be tak
enoff from time to time as the growth ad
vances, taking care not to injure the leaves or
the bud by the fide thereof ; keeping the
ground mellow and free from weeds, is all
that is requisite the firfl year : during the winter
they may be covered with a little mulch or
flraw, when the vine is uncovered the ensuing
spring, it must be Shortened down to two gocxi
ibuds,36 two only must be allowed to grow the
second year, with the fame attention to pluck
ing off the fide shoots as before; the vines may
•now be trained to a flake and fuffered to grow
freely till the latter end of July, when they may
be flopped by nipping off the ends—which will
tend to firengthen the wood for the following
season
The third year fruit may be expelled, the
shoots of the last year 's growth being as before
Shortened down to two good buds or eyes, the
ground must be well flirred & manured around
their roots, and small fibrous roots which shoot
near the furface of the ground out of the stem
above the main rents should be taken off.—
When the buds have foot three or four joints,
the fruit will shew itfelf, when advanced three
;6r four; joints further it will be proper to nip
off the end, to throw the nourishment into the
fruit which will be much increased thereby,
the lateral shoots, as before must be taken away,
but the leaves of the vine preserved with care
to shelter the fruit while tender from the too
great heat of the fun, which sometimes injures
it. Espaliers or flakes will now be necessary
to tie^ up the vines and young shoots now fiioot
ing up from the old wood, some of which may
be allowed to grow, to replace such of the bedr
ing branches as may occasionally be taken away.
Any person who has attended thus far to raff
ing his vines will want no directions for the
future, the management of them being similar
•to that of last year d . The fruit ripens about the
middle of September,and the vines may be prun
ed either in the latter end of October or early
in the spring before the sap is in motion.

SAVANNAH, APRIL I.
A Gentleman from St. Mary's, has favoured
us with the following interesting informa
ition, refpeaing the noted adventurer Gen, Wil
liam A. Bowles,
A party of Spanish troops, in number about
1200, from Weft-Florida, completely surprised
bGen. Bowles in hiscamp, on the Spanish Ter
-1 yitory, near the confluence of the Catahoochee
and Flint rivers, about a month past. So com
-pleat was the surprise, that the Gen. made his
escape in the true Indian style— in bis foist only—
\ His Secretary and his Aid-de-camp are both
made prisoners with all Bowles' baggage and
papers. The Secretary is a Scotchman, and his,
Aid-de-camp, French, both in the British ser
vice, „ appears by their commissions found on
#era. Bowles fled with some Indian chiefs,
rod k is expeded they have got to some of the
Bahama iQands, where it is thought he will not
he so well received, as he has left in possession
rs the Spanish troops, his tawny Bahama wife,
with others of his valuable friends from them
ales The good people of Georgia, ought to be
obliged to their neighbours of the Floridas for
adding them of these pests to Society.

"A veffcl has arrived at Cowes, richly laden

orders not' to Capture any Americans—this in

Owner, Mr. Ridgway. The union in Ireland
is determined by a majority of 43 in favor of
it. A continuation of the war between France
and England appears certain.".

CHARLESTON, MARCH I 8„
CAUTION TO SEAMEN.
Such navigators as use Hamilton Moore's ta
bles of the fun's declination, where the year
ißoo is called a leap year, may be liable to fall
into a material error on and after the ift of
March inst.
This present year, 1800, according to the
Gregorian calender*, (or new style) is not leap
year, nor docs the month of February contain
29 days, as stated in those tables : Hence the
true declination for the ift of March next, must
be taken from what is called the 29th of Feb.
in those tables, that of the 2d of March from
the ift and the 3d from the ad, and so on.
Without attending to this caution the naviga
tor will be led into an error, sometimes of 20
minutes and upwards in the declination, and of
course in all the calculations where it is used.
N. B. Some editions of Moore's navigation
are right, particularly the 13th.
BOSTON, APRIL 1,.
AMERICAN BRAVERY.
Among the numerous inflances of American gallant
ry, which have been exhibited on board of our mer
chantmen, as well as Jhips of war ; none, perhaps
have exceeded the following, contained in a letter
from Capt. Melssar Joy, of the Jbip Nancy of
this port, to bis owner, dated Havannab, March
16, 1800. — lbe Nancy mounts 10fixes, and bad
27 men.
" After leaving Boston, we took the wind
from the S. W. with strong gales, which lasted
15 days, and drove us so far to the eastward
that we fell in with a French privateer fthoon
er of 16 guns, and 100 men or Upwards. He
engaged us under the bloody flag, at the dis
tance of pistol shot, for one hour. Many shot
passed through our fails and rigging—night
came on, and he hauled his wind, aud lay at
the distance of two miles until 10 the next
morning; he then came down with his grap
lings at the yard arm, and grappled us upon
our Larboard quarter, with his gib flay on our
boarding spar. As he eroffed eur flern he
began with his musketry and cannon, think
ing to drive us from our quarters, which he
had nearly accomplished, and begun jumping
on board: but we rallied and flruck so close
to them with our muskets and boarding pikes,
that they were obliged to return on board,
after being in our main and mizen chains, .
thref or four times. After three glasses, (by
cutting our rigging that his graplings were
foft to) he cleared his gib flay, and we parted.
We had one man killed, and seven wounded;
but none of us mortally. Ore nine pound shot
went through the foremaft, and one through
the mainmast ; likcwife a number of smaller
shot. Our main top, shot much toipieces, and
20 shot through our mizen mast. In fa&,
when they left us, there was at least 3000
7iot of different kinds through our hull, fails,
aud rigging. Our topsail, top gallant haul
yards, gib-ftay, topping-lift, and braces, were
all shot away—yards down on the caps, fails
overboard, and the ship on fire in three or
four different places. He lay with his head
one way, and we the other, for two hours. Af
ter I had got my braces rove, and topsail set,
and flood on my course, he came after me again ;
,about 4 o'clock he overtook and gave us anoth
er broadside, and we returned it. He then
hauled his wind and left us—which was 36
hours from the time he fell in with us.
"I claim no merit; but you may be allured
that we did honor to the American flag, and
defended yot^j^perty ^with ^gallantry.''
