Taking into consideration with what ease

and uncertainty Of being supplied from TO-
reign countries and the base and ! dangerous
practice OF adulteration BY many Of vendors
of wine, am induced to urge the pfopasa-
ton of native grape vines, especially in
such places as shades are wanted as they
may be placed and trained in such manner
as fancy or convenience may direct, answer
better Tor shades than trees, and i! placed
on horizontal arbors between the first and
second stories of houses, will not obstruct
air or prospect and is the most favorable ST.
tua,ion for the production, quality. and pro-
lection OF the fruit.
Experience has convinced ne that the best
kind Of our native grapes are the most pro-
per to plant and cultivate in our county, as
they are proof against the seyersst winters,
are not so subject to blast er rot on the vines
as foreign grapes, and if placed in situa.
ton where they can have the full benefit OF
sol sim and air, spread on horizontal ar
bo,s and properly trained every spring, their
production and quality will exceed the ex-
pectation Of any who have not seen 1t tried.
As there is ia the .. S. numbers of per-
sons from countries where the best Of wines

SPANISH AMBASSADOR.

Doubts have been suggested whether
Mr.. Cnis, the Spanish minister. will be ac-
credited by our government and 1t is I'M
possible any occurrence can excite greater
astonishment. Have we not already re.
ceved consu's from the junta as the repre-
sentatiyes of Ferdinand the 9TH Have we
not a charge des a,9alres at Seville DO we
not acknowledge the authority of the .junta
when MIR. Irwin has officially negotiated
with them for a restitution Of property seiz-
ed under the DEGREES Of France and Tor an
abatement of their former maratime laws!
Will our government deny these advanta-
gss have been obtained They cannot, and
to reject an ambassador under such facts
would be ingrati,ude and injustice. The
argument relied upon by the Frenrh faction
for refusing Mr.. Onis is, that we.know not
who the Spanish nation consider as their
king PiliIul, rusillsnimous subtertuge !
In whose name are armies organized VINO
do the generals and magistrates obey
Who is acknowledged through all South A
me.ica ard the Spanish islands Who re-
celves end pays away the money from Vera
Cruz The Iunta in the name of Ferdinand,
and none other How then, in the name OF
Heaven, can we doubt" who the S parish
nation consider their lawful king" Mr..
President Madison, be not seduced from
tie plan highway into devious, thorny
wilderness I! 1.-THE Jurta of Spain was the
government 10 receive our Mr.. Ervine, and
has done US Justice a, your request (and this
is not drnied) TO reject Mr.. Onis, or even
TO hesitate III the present crisis; stamps our
government with Inconsistency, our nation
with ipgra,isude, and leaves the world at
liberty to decide upon your motives.
The French faction have undertaken to
call tais embassy f,om the Junta as An In
suit to perp'cy our government, contrlved
by the British and if they had Sent none,
these disturbers OF the public peace would
be no less clamorous at the ncelect--no less
vlndictive IN the cause Of it. The truth is,
this minister coming here disconcerts the
French party exceedingly, because, if the
British have an ascendency over the junta,
it proves their iberality in permitting a
friendly intercourse to Old and new Spain,
and giving us snare IN the trade WhiCh
they could easily monopol;ze 1t is, in
short fact in evidence, which ovcrtmns at
once all the mass OF assertions that the Dri-
ssh want to cngross the whole commerce of
the world.
But to the policy of receiving Mr., Onis--
For the sake of argument will suppose old
Spain conquered, what follows? The Iunta,
the nobility, and vast emigration viii so
&c South America, and there establish an
independent government. VIII a friendly
trade with these people be desirable or do
we wish to enter upon quarrel, and ha-
gard Orleans, Louisiana and the navigation
Of the Mississippi? To my mind the re-
ception Mr.. Onia meets with decides these
important consequences.

PEACE OR WAR on THE CONTINENT.
Our latest London paper contains the
following observations on this resting
subject:
The Hamburger, Paris, and Frankfort
papers which We received yestesday,are in
teresting, though they communicate no ore
fact of great Importance with which We were
not previously acquainted. They do not
enable us to state with certainty whether
lntnced.-No notifications of the termins-
ton of the armist;ce seems to have been "
en--and if we were asked to which side
our opinion leans, we should say, that peace
appears more likely to DC signed than war
to be renewe,l--At the sane time the nege-
Citations have certainly continued longer
than We thought they would. From the pa
pers which we have received e'e eollecrsno-
thing but what is vague, doubtful and con-
Trajectory. One says that the negotiations
are going on at Raab, another thar they are
TO be transferred to Alterburgh, in Eunga-
ry-one assures Us that Champa9ny has
gone to Raab to fix the last basis OF the
both Russia and this country are invited TO
send ministers. The latter seems to be the
most liable to doubt of ail-Bonaparte will
make peace with Austria without the in
tervention of any power. L is not improba-
bic, however, that she has attempted to IN
terest the emperor Alexander in her behalf,
and to convince him that it is not for the
advantage of Russia that the Austrian pow
er should be reduced to the same state OF
feebleness and impotence to which Prussia
has been reduced. The delay may have
been occasioned by some such step nor
thai there is any likelihood of the emperor
Alexander's acceding to the demand of
Austria, nor of Bonaparte's being turned
from his purpose, even if the emperor N
lexander should see that 1t is his interest to
prevent the utter ruin of the Austrian pow
er. Alexander has lost the opportunity of
interfering with effect. He will be made
use OF as one OF the instruments to destroy
Austria, and then his turn will Gomez
His destruction only is delayed till Bona
parte has consummated the ruin of his near.
est neighbors. He will then fnd that the
generosity of the Corsican very much re-
sembles the generosity of the Cyclops--that
it consists merely in respite from execu.
ton.
"Ihe march of fresh French troops across
the Rhine into Germany, is considered by
some as an indication of the resumption of
hostilities. 1t may be SO but may it not
be also with view of intimidating Aus
tria into an acquiescence with his demands,
by the display of an increased force which it
may be hopeless to resist?
we shall now turn from subject on
which the Foreign papers affords us little or
NO information, TO subicctupon which they
furnish 10 with intelligence which we .ha'
