Of. course; then, they can never descend to obtrude any such,

With regard to "'Cheap Wined," these AViries being offered at a

Thus, .While the London Wine Company disclaim all affecta-

The lamentable practiceofailtilterating' Wines, has, unfor-
tunately:gone to_ a most alarming excess of late years; .and to
the very _considerably augmentedimportetion of what. are term- •
ed Cape Wihes., that adulteration is principally to be attributed.
The facilities, indeed, which these'Wines; both red and, white,
afford to the adepts-in such reprehen-sible•prartices, are become
so -very glaring, while the.quality.of those Wines is so notori-
ously. bad, thatethe London Wine COmpariyhave determined
at the outset that on no Ceneiderellen shall Cape Wines ever be

a large Stock that has been, froth 4 to 32 -years in bottle ; while,
to insure a supply.of the finest .FRENCH -WINES; they have
had a special--Agent in that countrYupen Whose skill and in-
dustry they can confidently rely, front tleelKines which he has
already forwarded. •' . •
But since this establishment has been in contemplation ; and
especially eince:preparations have commenced for bringing it to
maturity, the •Company have availed-themselves of every op-
portunity that offered, for selecting the Oldest anti finest Wines
from the cellars of the most eminent merchants in The City.
They have happily too met with occasions,
.peculiarly favour-
able to their object, among merchants retiring. from business,

years, from whose, importations the Company have not made
purchases, under the. guidance of the most competent judge s
of Wines, whose.advice and aidthe Proprietors have engaged
in the conduct,of their new.sstahlishment. • • - '
The London Wine Company will always keep a Stock of
Foreign Spirits, which may be'• depended upon as being of ge-
nuine and ,superior qualinee, , and which will be solti.at equi-
table. Prices, both wholesale and retail.
SUch are - the_grounds,tipon which the Proprietors of this
Company take leave to• Solicit the patronage of the Public. •
The character ofthe .Londo. ermine, Tee .Company affords,
it is presumed, s.uflicierit guarantee to gentlemen resident in
the UJOntry,. or to families occasionally viiitingsnwn, for the
punctual and faithful execution:a. any orders,with which they
may be pleased to.fayour the Louden Wine Company.'
This Company think it: proper to State; that they can execute
no orders for less than one dozen of' Wine. , - • ,
