THE VINE DRESSER OF SPRING MILL,
TO HIS CORRESPONDENT.
With respect to engraving the Vine, it is a thing not much practised. I have, however, made the experiment, and find that it is an improvement. The grape being evidently larger, produced from a good kind engraved upon a wildstock. You ask what number of plants did it require to produce six barrels of wine, and in what state of their growth were they? This question, as far as it tends to gain information respecting the quantity produced on one acre, has been already answered above, but as it respects the particular quantity of six barrels made by me, I must say that it was impossible for me, in that stage of the business, to be accurate in my calculations.
Cuttings will produce fruit, the third year after they have been planted, and the produce will be greater every year, till the seventh or eighth, when they are in their full strength; and as I have said before, in Europe, they continue to bear upwards of one hundred years, if they are well managed; and I see no reason why they should not continue as long in America.
When red wine is intended to be made the grapes are cut off, with a pair of scissors, by young boys and girls, in the heat of the day, and carried in buckets to the wine press. Then it is altogether thrown into a vat, in the open air, to undergo the vineous fermentation, which is bro't on without any foreign aid. During the fermentation, the marc, which is the short stalks, seeds, and skin of the grape, rises to the top, and continues to do so until the crisis of the fermentation. At this moment the wine should be drawn from the vat, and put into the cask. If this is not done, and the fermentation should be continued until the marc begins to settle again, the acetous fermentation would commence, and the liquor, instead of being wine, would turn to vinegar. The marc is then taken to the press, and the liquor squeezed from it, is annexed with the first, which gives it a body and colour; but to explain the reason of this would require a very extensive treatise of itself, I shall therefore proceed to the manner of making white wine.
The grapes for this purpose may be either black or white, and may be gathered in the morning before the sun hath warmed the fruit, and carried to the press with as much care as possible, to prevent them from being bruised. The liquor is then only put into the vat for fermentation, without the marc . This gives a clear and beautiful white wine, whether the liquor be pressed from red or white grapes. After the wine has been put into the cask, it must remain till the spring following, when it may be bottled, chusing always clear and serene weather for that purpose.
Cellars are to be prepared which are arched over, well aired and not subject to great variations of heat and cold. Of this, in my present situation, I am in great want. My American wine has been subjected to a degree of cold equal to 9 degrees of Fahrenheit, and of heat to 106 degrees by the same scale—a change which must be very much against the preservation of wine; but in this world we must do as we can, and not as we wish. Notwithstanding I labor under such disadvantages, my wine is good, but it certainly would be better, if I had a cellar of a more equal temperature.
This climate appears much more favorable to the cultivation of Vine than any country in Europe; the autumn or fall of the year being always more agreeable, so that there happens no long and cold rains, about the time of the blossoms putting forth, which is in the beginning of June, or about the time the Grapes are ripening, —the cultivator is sure of a good return every year, if he only bestows a small quantity of manure every other year—the manure may be either horse, cow, or pig dung; two ounces of pigeon's dung to each plant every two years, is reckoned better than any other manure if it can be obtained.
No intermediate crops are ever used either before the plants arrive at perfection or afterwards—a practice of this kind would prevent the use of the plough or harrow betwixt the rows, which is necessary two or three times in the summer.
Cuttings ought to be from 18 to 24 inches in length, of first ripe wood, and
furnished with several points, one or 2 of which should appear, when planted, above ground.
To give you a more perfect idea of the advantages of a Vine-yard even in Europe where wine is at a very low price.
I here give you the mean price of land in the neighbourhood of Paris, Burgundy, Alsace, and on the Rhine; after which you may make what comparisons or applications you please.
An acre of land fit for wheat, is let at from 300 to 350 livres---Meadow land at 500 or 600 livres---but a Vine Yard is at 1100 or 1200 livres.
You will find in the "True American" of Monday, March 24th, 1800, an answer to all your other questions, to which I refer you.
I hope soon to see you at Spring Mill, and my gratitude will be proportioned to the length of time you pass with me---let not a small chamber nine feet square, frighten you---we must all, some day or other, put up with one much less; but good cheer, good water, good wine, and hearty welcome, will accompany this respectful consideration, on which
I am, with esteem, Yours, &c.

LONDON, August 14.
Lord Nelson was expected to sail last night, or early this morning, from Margate. His lordship has been reinforced by several bombs and gun-brigs, and fifteen additional flat-bottomed boats, were sent yesterday from Deal.
Boulogne and Calais are well watched: the French seem to be apprehensive of another attack upon that part of the coast, for they have strengthened their positions on shore, and additional works and batteries are said to have been thrown up.
The Diana packet arrived yesterday from Cuxhaven, without mails, but with two messengers, Messrs. Hogard and Kremer, with dispatches for government. These dispatches, it is reported, contain a confirmation of the capture of Cairo.
The Elector of Cologne, whose death was announced in the last Hamburg mail, was uncle to the reigning Emperor of Germany, and brother to the two last Emperors, as well as the unfortunate Antonette, late Queen of France. His court was once very splendid by the assembly of the French emigrant princes and nobility; but his states were over-run by the enemy at an early period of the war, and he never since recovered possession of them. The death of this prince, at such a juncture, may perhaps facilitate the project of secularization, to which his influence was considered as a great impediment.
An intercepted letter from an Englishman, formerly of the societies, now in Egypt as a sort of sutler and artificer in the French army, was lately brought over, and is now at the secretary of state's office. It says (May 23) that the French are determined to hold Egypt to the very last extremity.
It is understood, that lord Nelson will quickly take the command in the Mediterranean, in the room of lord Keith, who returns to England, should affairs on our own coasts admit of lord Nelson's absence. At all events lord Keith is expected home.
From Brussels, August 2, we learn, that all the armaments in the ports of Picardy and Flanders are ready to put to sea at the first notice; and that several naval officers have arrived in consequence from Brest and Toulon, to aid in a grand expedition. The number of armed vessels now ready at Boulogne and Dunkirk are said to exceed 150 sail, on board of which 25,000 troops will take their departure against Great Britain with the first fair wind.
On board the seven transports taken in the Mediterranean, were several hundred troops; but whether they formed part of Gantheume's fleet is unknown.
By letters from Copenhagen, of the 4th inst. it appears, that many changes are about to take place in the Danish naval and military departments. The Danish fleet, now estimated at 20 sail of the line and ten frigates, fit for service, is to be increased to 30 sail of the line and 16 frigates. The additional ships are to be built at Copenhagen, Glückstadt, and Fredericksvar.

August 15. FALL OF CAIRO. The intelligence of the surrender of Cairo is confirmed. Two messengers arrived
yesterday with dispatches from Constantinople and Vienna to Government and the E. India Company. The dispatches to government are from Lord Minto, who continues to congratulate his majesty's ministers on the fall of Cairo. The dispatches, however to the East India company, place the intelligence beyond all doubt. They are in substance as follows: Extract of a letter from Peter Took, Esq. dated Constantinople, July 19.
"I had the honour to address you on the 17 inst* by an express courier, in order to inform you of the reduction of the castle and city of Cairo, by his majesty's and the Ottoman armies, after some severe actions, wherein the enemy had lost 2000 men in killed and wounded; and that the remainder, consisted of 4000 men had surrendered. I have only learnt since, that the enemy capitulate on honourable terms, and were to march to Rosetta, to be embarked for France under the escort of British ships of war."
*Not received.
The remarks we made the other day need now only be repeated. The fall of Cairo enables us to concentrate the whole of our force, and to direct it against Alexandria, the last possession which the enemy have upon the Egyptian territory. Pressed by such an army on the land side, and blocked up by sea—in want of provisions and water—it is not probable that Alexandria will long hold out. Perhaps it is not now of much consequence to enquire where Gantheume landed his troops, or whether he landed any. If, while he was at anchor on the Egyptian coast, he heard of the surrender of Cairo, it is not unlikely that, seeing of how little use such a reinforcement must be after such an event, he returned with the troops to France. If, however, he did actually land them, they will now only serve to swell the number of our prisoners, without being of any use to the enemy.
Soon after this paper was put to press yesterday, we received the Paris papers to the 12th, and communicated in a second edition a short account of their contents. The intelligence is not important. A convention has been concluded with the Pope, upon matters relating to the Gallican Church. The terms have not been published, but the Moniteur says, that 'the government has good reason to hope, that, in a few months, the priests, who call themselves constitutional, those who have taken the promise of fidelity, and all the others united in sentiment and opinion, will peaceably occupy themselves with the cares of their ministry, of peace, concord and union.'
An article contained in a London paper some time ago, which supposed, that, under the present circumstances, the residence of M. Otto in this capital might not be secure, is noticed with proper severity in the Moniteur, which pays a merited tribute to the virtues of his Majesty, and attaching to Mr. Addington, the epithet of respectable, expresses a belief that he was highly displeased with the article alluded to.
GANTHEUME'S RETURN.
Letters from Hamburg of the 14th inst. speak in the most positive terms of Gantheume's return to Toulon, after an ineffectual attempt to land his troops in Syria; where the natives, as they say, rose in such numbers upon the French, that they were obliged to give over the attempt. They proceed to enumerate the advantages which must result to Great Britain from this event; which insures the safety of our reinforcements sent out from England, Gibraltar, Minorca, Malta and Trieste, amounting to 9000 men, the flower of the British army, and from their data deduce the speedy fall of Alexandria as a necessary consequence. On the other hand, the Paris papers rely on information received from Genoa, Leghorn, Messina, and Ancona, even announcing the name of Gen. Ballier who had arrived at the latter place from Corsica. From these sources they are peremptory in declaring the admiral, after having taken near Candia an English vessel, which he sent for Messina, continued his course towards the coast of Barbary. By the way he fell in with the squadron under Sir John Borlase Warren, and found that he was in pursuit of him. He learned by the enemy's signals that they were preparing for an attack; but as his principal object was to carry succours to Egypt, he endeavoured to avoid a battle. The weather was favourable to him; a gale of wind coming on, he lost sight of the enemy, and continued his voyage.
Sir John Warren having lost this opportunity, returned towards Alexandria, to which he supposed Gantheume to be bound; but this admiral arrived at Derna, where he boldly landed 10,000 troops, who continued their march to Egypt, after taking a little repose. This intelligence is, as they say, confirmed by a merchant vessel arrived from Tripoli in 12 days, which relates this fact with the following particulars, that the natives of Barbary, so far from opposing the disembarkation, favored it as much as was necessary for the success of the expedition. Amidst this contrariety of assertion, we can only say— Non nostrum est tamis componere lites ; and that could any thing tend to involve in more obscurity a subject already so dark, it would be the overland intelligence from the India-house of the capture of the transports: for as on the one hand it proves that Gantheume's return to Toulon was not so precipitate, but that he had reached the neighbourhood of his destination, so on the other hand, it may be asked, why these vessels were left behind, had he been compelled to desert it?
It is supposed, that another, attack will be immediately made upon Boulgne, at least the enemy appear to be apprehensive of one, for accounts from that town state, that on Thursday night the enemy made a movement, and moored 26 gun-vessels along shore, east and west of the harbour. A reinforcement of 1700 troops is also said to have arrived within these few days from the interior.
August 16. OF PEACE.
In our last number we stated, that the negotiations for peace had assumed more than usual activity and decision. We hear with pleasure, that many of the most imposing impediments to a general adjustment have been removed; that the prospect of peace becomes each day brighter, and that every thing indicates a speedy termination to the war.
It has ever been the policy of Buonaparte to make overtures for peace when he was supposed to be most competent to the prosecution of war; and, as we cannot suppose him so inconsiderate and madly enthusiastic, as at any period to have proposed an invasion of this country, we are led to regard his preparations as designed only to give weight to his negotiation, and to embarrass our government, by exciting public clamour and alarm. Thanks to the gallant and determined valour of our countrymen, the project has proved abortive. Instead of intimidation, energy, firmness, and enterprize are manifest. Where clamour and dissention were looked for, confidence and union prevail. We do not wonder then if the chief consul, wearied of expedients, which only tend to exhibit to Britons the greatness of their resources, and to rouse into action the dormant energies of the empire, is anxious to terminate a war in which experience has taught him to look for nothing but defeat.
To the zeal and loyalty of the volunteer corps, the country owes more than the honour they do her. Their patriotism has repressed alarm, inspired the loyal with confidence, and confounded the disaffected. We trust they will not relax in their exertions, until, by peace, we are fully assured against these dangers, from which they so powerfully contributed to save us.
We have been taught by experience to respect the authority from which we have received the following articles, whatever opinion we may entertain on the subject of the first, we cannot question the writer's competence to speak with decision to the latter.
"As the Negotiation proceeds, the prospect of peace becomes brighter; and there is now little reason to doubt, notwithstanding the intrigues of the Jacobins, those enemies of the human race, that the wishes of the lovers of peace will soon be realized."
"M. Otto, with a magnanimity for which he has ever been esteemed, disdains any further proceeding against those miserable scribblers who have attempted to injure his reputation. The time, perhaps, is not far distant, when the authors of those calumnies which have been so justly complained of, may see reason to reproach themselves for their conduct."
Some movements in Brest harbour within these few days have induced a supposition that the Brest fleet has an intention of putting to sea. A reinforcement has been ordered from Portsmouth to join the channel fleet off Brest immediately.
(From the Moniteur of Aug. 7.) Answer delivered by the first consul to

the note presented to him by the M. Ka- litcheff. "The first consul of the French republic acknowledges the receipt of the convention of Petersburg of the 16th of June, and takes this opportunity to assure his imperial majesty of the lasting good disposition and sentiments of the French government towards his majesty's person and government; and assures him, that he will do every thing that may be pleasing and agreeable to the court of Russia; and that this end would have been attain- ed sooner, if the negotiations with En- gland, the situation of affairs in Italy and Egypt, and the war with Portugal, had not shown certain invincible obstacles in the way of the business."
PASSWAN OGLU'S VICTORY.
The Hamburg Mail.
A letter from Brun, dated July 25, states, "Passwan Oglou's retreat to Wid- den was a feint to induce his opponents to block him up in that fortress. He has now fought the great battle which form- ed part of his plan. The blockade is raised, and the troops of the Grand Seig- nior have been either cut to pieces or dis- persed. In executing of his plan, Pass- wan Oglou sent over to the enemy a large number of his most devoted adherents.... Soon after this, he made a sally with the rest of the garrison, and while the Grand Seignior's troops advanced against him, the adherents of Passwan Oglou took them in the rear, and placed them between two fires, in such a manner that the greatest part were killed upon the spot; the rest were compelled to betake themselves to a disorderly flight."
Brunn, July 25. Accounts have been received that Passwan Oglou has obtained a decisive victory over the troops of the Grand Seignior, which had endeavored to blockade him at Widden.
Price of Provisions, &c.
Fine wheats have fallen in price nearly 25 per quarter during last week, and prime Dantzic wheats which last week found ready sale at 130s per quarter, are now sold at 65 to 68s. Flour is a few shillings cheaper, but most other grains hold the prices we quoted in our last.
In several parts of the country new wheat has been already brought to mar- ket, and has occasioned the expected re- duction of price. At Lynn the price in consequence fell from 126s. to 90s. per quarter, and in most of the markets whence we are favored with returns, there has been a depression of from 10 to 20s per quarter.

Serious disturbances have taken place in the French army in Turin, in conse- quence of not receiving their pay. Gens. Jourdan and Mearle had addressed a very fine speech to them, wherein they exhorted them to obedience---and that they should receive their pay.
The plague has broke out at Morocco, and prevails in the town of Safi and a- mong the garrison of Melilla.
DOVER, August 14.
Lord Nelson's flotilla still continues off Boulogne and Calais, he himself came into the Downs last night. I learn that the French continue to strengthen their posi- tions on shore; but so good a look out is kept, that their gun boats, &c. dare not venture out to sea as heretofore; it is quite uncertain where a blow will next be struck. The Birmingham Packet, William Coch- ran, master, arrived here to day from Charleston, which place she left the 29th June; at that time, a ratification of the treaty between France and the United States was daily expected. The passen- gers say, they did not see any French ships of war, privateers, &c. in their passage, but that the Channel swarms with our cruisers.
PARIS, August 2.
Acts of the Government.
The Consuls of the Republic, on the re- port of the Minister of the Interior, decree:
Art. 1. The importation of English horses is forbidden.
Art. 2. The offenders will be punished according to the 15th article of the law of 10th Brumaire, concerning the intro- duction of English merchandise.
CONSTANTINOPLE, June 30.
A French ship, with dispatches has been taken by the English, on its was from A- lexandria to France. Gen. Menou had sent home on board it 6 French officers,
and a number of private men, partly on account of illness, and partly for other reasons; on its passage, previous to its capture, the crew, for what cause is un- known, rose upon the officers, and murder- ed them all.
NEW-YORK, September 28.
A French gentleman who arrived here yesterday in the ship Olive from Bour- deaux, informs the editors of this Gazette, that the news of Gantheume's having landed a part of his troops near Alexandria, was contradicted---and that positive ac- counts of his having arrived at Toulon had been received and announced at Bor- deaux.
The great cry of the French people is Peace! Peace! Their situation is depl- orable---They have no commerce---and no money; in their treasury---Bills drawn on their government, though accepted, are not paid---Merchants will not take them for goods even at 5 per cent. discount.
Arrived, ship general Mercer, captain Moore, in 39 days from Liverpool. Au- gust 19th, spoke ship Amsterdam, out 26 days from New-York, lying at the rock in the channel; also the ship Betsey, out 30 days from Philadelphia, lying at Alms Head. 28th, spoke brig Polly, bound from Philadelphia to Hamburg, out 25 days. 29th, in lat. 46, 15, long. 13, 19, spoke brig Virginia, bound from New- York to Amsterdam, out 34 days.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2.
From the Echo of the 19th Thermidor, 7th August.
We are requested by the Agent of the United States of America to publish the following note, which he has just received from Mr. Murray; minister plenipotenti- ary of the United States for the exchange of the ratifications of the Convention of the 20th September last.
"Mr. Murray has the pleasure of in- forming Mr. Barnet, that he has, this evening, 31st July, exchanged the ratifica- tions with the French ministers plenipo- tentaries, Joseph Bonaparte, Fleurieux, and Roederer, in the house of the last men- tioned."
Signed, IG. COX BARNET.
We announce with pleasure the return of John Quincy Adams, Esq. late minister plenipotentiary at Berlin, to Massachusetts, after an absence of seven years, during which time he has been intrusted by his go- vernment with many honourable and re- sponsible commissions, which he has ex- ecuted with intelligence, industry, and fi- delity. In 1794 he was appointed by President Washington minister resident at the Hague; in 1795 he was sent to the Court of St. James on an important ne- gotiation; he afterwards returned to the Hague, where he remained minister resident until he was promoted by gen. Washing- ton to be minister plenipotentiary at the court of Lisbon. In 1797 he accord- ingly left the Hague, and on his way for Lisbon received a commission, at London, as Minister Plenipotentiary at Berlin.---
One object of this last mission, was to renew the treaty, concluded in the year 1785, between the U. S. and Frederick II. king of Prussia, which had expired. Mr. Adams, in obedience to the instruc- tions of his government immediately went to Berlin, where he negotiated a treaty containing several alterations from the for- mer one highly advantageous to his coun- try, this important treaty has been ratifi- ed by the two governments, and made public to the people. The documents which accomplished this negotiation to the senate, we have been told, by one of its most respectable members, who was present when they were read, discovered great industry and talent, and proved Mr. Adams to be an able and skillful negotia- tor, as well as a correct and elegant scholar. ---Americans, no doubt, will delight to welcome into the bosom of their country, after so long an absence, a man whose pub- lic and private conduct has reflected so much honor on them, and who is destined to become one of the ablest and most dis- tinguished characters this country has pro- duced. We hazard nothing in this predic- tion; his integrity, his understanding, his talents and attainments authorise it. Thus far in life the son has followed the ex- ample given him by his venerable father, who, sacrificing all private interest, leav- ing the opportunity of acquiring an im- mense fortune by a full professional prac- tice, early in life devoted his time and talents to the service of the public, whose head has been silver'd over with age, in the long and laborious service of his coun- try, and "not a day without a deed to crown it." [Boston paper.
To Lease for 5 Years.
My ISLAND opposite to the City of Washington, a considerable part of which which is well taken in Timothy. It is thought unnecessary to be particular in a description of it, as the property is well known---the crop, notwithstanding the drought last summer, will evince the ferti- lity of the soil to the person wishing to rent, who, it is presumed, will take a view of the premises.

NEGROES and LANDS
FOR SALE.
I wish to sell a number of very valuable Negroes, among whom are a good waggoner, shoemaker, house-maid, &c. None more capable servants are to be met with! I will give a short credit upon them, assured of punctual payment.
I have about 600 acres of land lying along the Ohio, about 8 or 9 miles below Limestone: 200 between the town of Washington and May's Lick, in Mason county, and several tracts in the interior counties in Kentucky, for sale, or to exchange for property in this or the state of Maryland.
The first of those is nearly all bottom: the second lies well for cultivation, is in an excellent neighborhood, well timbered, with good never failing water, and both have a delightful range for stock, particularly hogs. The titles are indisputable. A good bargain may be had of those and other lands in that state! I have also for sale, a share in the Potomac Company, and a small annuity in the town of Alexandria. A good waggon and team, and good brood mare, with a colt, and in tool.
Apply to me near Centerville.

CONDITIONS.
 1. The whole set will be printed in a handsome duodecimo size, on a superior wove paper, and new type, made purposely for the work.  2. The price to subscribers, neatly bound and lettered, will be one dollar per volume—to non-subscribers one dollar and seventy-five cents.  3. No money required until the delivery of each volume, and at the completion of the whole a list of its patrons will be given.  4. The first volume will consist of the following much admired plays— Castle Spectre, Heir at Law, the Stranger, and Secrets Worth Knowing.  5. The publishers pledge themselves to be particular in their selection, by giving place to such plays as are publicly and justly admired for purity of sentiment, and elegance of diction; and no expence withheld in rendering the work for beauty equal to any in America.  When it is considered that the American public have never as yet been put in possession, from a press in this country, of a set of well selected and approved plays, capable of producing much rational sentiment, chaste wit, and good humor, so well calculated to inculcate morality, amuse, recreate and animate the mind—the publishers flatter themselves their exertions will meet with encouragement.
Subscriptions are received at the office of the ALEXANDRIA ADVERTISER.
Red Straw Wheat.
The subscriber having experienced considerable difficulty in arranging the price of this wheat, from the variety of the prices in the market, has determined to fix the value at TWO DOLLARS per bushel, being the price at which wheat sold when this was first advertised. Gentlemen may be supplied in any quantity, and at any time, by applying at this place.
It may not be improper to mention that this wheat ripens nearly as soon as the early wheat, which is so celebrated; and was cut almost at the same time during the last harvest—That it resists the Fly, can be proved by the most respectable characters in this neighborhood, who have had a fair trial—No wheat has ever produced so much upon this estate as the red straw, which was sown in the poorest part; indeed, in that consists its excellence, as any grain will be luxuriant in a rich soil.
Vessels sent for this wheat can be furnished without the least delay.
