To those cho make, and those acho love good cider
A few years ago, was dining with friend, who
knew INV fondness for cider with my food. He re.
marked-my friend have no cider to offer you -
Our apples have been principally cut off by fross
and insects, for several years past; but can give
YOU some cider wine. | took some of it, and diluted
with water sufficient as calculated, to reduce it
to the strength of late made cider. When drank
of it, to my surprise, found had glass of very
excellent cider with only the taste of little apple
brandy in it The discovery of this fact suggested
to my mind, the following conclusion. That farmers
lin plentiful year OF apples, may with little care
(Iay up supply of good cider against year oil
scarcity. This may be. done within small COM
pass, in the following manner.
Take your first made cider, which is fit only for
the STILL and convert it into brandy; put nine gal
Ions of this brandy into new barrel then fill the

can inform him that there has been men OF the first
rate talents to view the course across, and they have
pronounced it to be the lowest and best scte that
there is, for canal between the two waters.
The advantages that this course possesses above
all others that have been mentioned, numerous
First, the important difference Of distance, which,
in my opinion, the whole distance would not exceed
nine miles: and secondly the continued lowness of

How high water mark and the balance very little

of the whole distance is covered BY The waters of So

whole distance, that there would be little difficulty
in removing. Those are some Of the advantages
that this route possesses others that have been
mentioned we might mention many others, but We
will for the present pass them over.
| The writer in the Freeman's Journal very Justly
observes that the great objection which was former

to the mouth of the cana. in this situation that
Iobiecton would now be remeded by the Fort which

intended Battery on the Delaware shore, which,
cording the proposed situation would be below the
entrance Of the canal.

leave that for future period; and will just observe

Mr.. WILSON,
| observed in the Delaware Gazette Of the 25.h
inst, brief and tart reply to piece first publish
ed in the Freeman's Journal upon the subject OF
the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal The shrewd
editor attempts to employ very forcible arguments
in favor of the proposed route by Mr.. Gipn and
is confident that no route can be discovered that
would possess more advantages than that laid down
Iby MIR. Gilpin and as confirmation of his pro-
position, refers to the appreciation of number OF
the citizens of Maryland and Pennsylvania he
makes every attempt at discovering more prefera.
BILE route as abortive and useless because Mr.. Gil
Ipin and few others have approved of certain
course. This is certainly powerful argument in ia
Vor of Mr. Gilpin's proposition; but with all this
argument, and the appreciation Of some men, pro
badly not particularly interested in its oblanment or
the most favorable scite-it does not prove to the
world that it possesses nsurmouuable advantages tc
any other that can be discovered.
Mr.. Gipn's researches for the most expedienl
route presume have never extended farther south
than those he has laid down and if he is unacquant
ed with the settle proposed by the writer in
The Freeman's Journal,--I would refer him tc
his map, and further to personal view of the course
proposed by him-which view am confident he ne
yer had, neither he the Editor of the Delaware
Gazette. Mr.. Harker acknowledges the St. Geor-
ges route to be the shortest but he says the ground
worse; this proves that he is not at all acquainted

FROM EUROpE.

The mails Of yesterday furnished US
with adVices from Europe several days
later than any before received. The
packet ship William Thompson srri-
we'd at New York, brings English pa.
pers TO the FIRST of August.
These papers contain but two arti-
e!es, Of news Of any Importance. The
FIRST ia, that the Greeks had succeeded
in destroying the Turkish fleet, com
:nauded by the Captain Pacha. This
fact seems 10 be as authe ntic as ii is a.
greeable The second item of news
would be extremity unweIcop,e lift were
true, but it IS considered very doubt
full. tits, that a counter revolution had
taken place ia Madrid, which resulted
in placing that city and the King in the
hands of the Royalist party, and the
overthrow Of the ;n.titutionalis,s.
This story is improbable, it is stated
that the revolution broke out on the
Goth and our previous accounts are
as late as the 18th, when the maleon-
tents had just been suppressed, and O.
very thing wore the aspect of peace
and tranquility. The articles worth
copying from the papers will be given
