AGRICULTURAL.

1t is our intention to devote a portion Of
our paper, every week, to agricultural matter,
provided we can obtain such as is of sufficient
value. To effect this, we respectfully solicit
the favors of our friends throughout the Coun-
ty. We have, among our Yeomanry, great
plumber of enlightened and intelligent farmers,
who are not satisfied with barely treadins in
the footsteps of their fathers, and leaving
their estates without, at least, an attempt at
improvement. Many of these might commu-
nicate facts, the result of their experiments,
which would be of great importance to the
public, and, as good members of the body pol
itic, it is their duty to do it. For such arti-
cles, the columns of the Spy are always open ;
and we must confess that we have seen with
regret, that some of our farmers have selected.
as the vehicle of their communications, papers
printed out of the County, which are not gem
orally taken amongst us, aud which are much
more limited, in their circulation. than the

ORCHARDS.

We would direct the attention of our rea-
ders' to the article under our Agricultural
head, selected from the New England Farmer.
on the subject of orcharding, as containing
many observations worthy of particular notice.
Good fruit is an article of convenience, if not
OF necessity, in every family, and the use of it
is equally conducive to comfort and to health.
But small proportion, however, possess any
but that ofan ordinary quality.
In the article which we have selected. the
space allowed for each tree, is, we apprehend,
much too small. We have noticed it as an
invarable rule, where fruit trees stand near
together, so that the rays of the sun are most
ly excluded from the earth, that the trees do
not bear so well, the fruit is much inferior in
favour and richness, and soon decays. Few
apple trees, when full grown, cover surface
so small as twenty feet in diameter. Thirty
feet distance from each other, we should sup
pose full near, and forty would be still better.
lfit is objected, that while the trees are young,
this would be too much room to allow. on
land devoted to that purpose, we would sug-
sest the expediency of alternating with the
apple trees, peach, plum, cherry and other
fruit trees which would come to maturity,
and decay in season to make way for the
apple trees before they attain to their full
growth.
The Importance of selecting the best fruit
for ENGRAVING is not usually sufficiently at.
tended to. It's as easy to raise the best kind,
as that which is of an inferior quality, and the
difference in it is Of no small consequence.
1t is believed that there may be many kinds
of natural fruit, not generally known or culti-
waited, which are better worth attention than
others which have been imported at consider
able expense. Those who are in possession
of such kinds, would confer favor on the
community, by presenting, at the approaching
Cattle Show, specimens Of it accompanied by
a statement of its peculiar excellencies, &c.
Some of our best fruit was originally natural in
this Country; such as the nonsuch and green
ing apples, and the celebrated Sickle pear.
The latter, which is allowed to excel all
other kinds, would probably have been lost
with the parent tree, had not some of the
fruit been carried into Philadelphia market
lorsale, where it attracted the notice of those
who are curious in such things, and was thus
preserved. The cultivation of it is now
rapidly extending through this country and
Europe.

LITERATURE OF HAYTI,

We have received a series, 10 the 9Th
Of July, of the Haitien Journal entitled,
{" LIE Propagateur Haitien," political
and literary, and edited by several Hal
items. In the list of the writers for it
we perceive the names of the Commits
sary of War at the Cape, the Collectors
of the Customs at Aux-Cays, and JAG
mel, the Commissary of the Government
at Santo Domingo, &c. 1t is certainly
very creditable in substance and style,
to the Hayden character. The politics
of Europe are ably discussed. with the
feelings and principles which prevail in
this country. Various essays on agricul.
ture are inserted, with the design of
teaching the inhabitants the importance
of that pursuit and engaging them in
rural economy. 1t is affirmed that the
island possesses soil of unequalled fer
tility, and arms enough to warrant the
expectation that, in some years hence,
lis products will be doubled OF tripled.
S In the year 1800," says the Journal,
s the amount Of our exports was of the
value of more than SO millions of dol
lars. Our population is not as numerous
as it then was; but, with method and
perseverance, we may easily draw from
our soil, every year, forty or fifty mil
lions of dollars''
The number for the first of June
contains translation of the law of South
Carolina, relating to the introduction of
people of colour into that State, which
Judge johnson has just decided to be
unconstitutional. The Haitien editors
preface it thus We consign to the
indignation of all those who aspire to
be christians, or civilized men, the fol-
lowing extracts Of a law, sc. Is it
among people of a British origin, upon
the soil of Franklin and Penn, where
hourishes the morality of the Quakers
and the Bible, that laws of this charac-
ter are promulgated in the face of the
sun of the 18th century? OF rather is it
among the inhabitants of New-Zealand,
OF the wandering hordes Of the desert
OF Sahara," &C. Great indignation is
expressed at the suspicion, that the gov
eminent and people of Hayti have tam
pered or do tamper, with the negro
slaves in any part of the world. The
proclamation of President Boyer of the
Goth March last, which forbids Haitien
vessels to anchor or touch at any of the
neighboring islands, is ascribed to the
wish to remove disquietudes Of friendly
governments.

GREECE.

According to the Oriental Spec
tator OF June IS, the Turkish fleet,
consisting of Is frigates, Is corvettes,
and 40 transports, lay some days in
the channels of Metelin and Chios,
and took on board $4,000 troops at
Tchesme and the island of Mosconissi.
The fleet was visited by many officers
OF the French, English and Austrian ships
OF war at Smyrna. The Captain Pacha
had also Oh vpssole londod with grain,
to supply Caristo, and the fortified places
in the Morea and Crete. He was seen
to sail towards Hydra. A letter from
ConstantinoPle of June %, adds that the
grand Admiral after having taken on
board troops and provisions at Tchesme
and Chios, had sailed for Negropont,
where he landed 5000 troops, and after
supplying Negropont and Caristo with
provisions and munitions of war. sailed
for the purpose of supplying Coron,
Maiden, and if possible, Patras.

DISTRESSING FIRE.
PORTLAND. SFpT

PORTLAND, SEPT. 8.
The extreme drought, which has
prevailed for month or Two past, has
been the occasion of some of the most
distressing fires ever experienced in
this State. The ground had become
SO extremely dry, and every vegetable
substance so parched up by the sun,
that the high winds on Thursday and
Friday last, spread the fires which had
been previously set in the woods, or
which were kindled by accident, and in
short time whole towns seemed to be
enveloped in smoke and flame. We
have heard from several towns where
destruction and distress are extensive
and painful, and we fear that the rava-
ges of the fire have been much more
extensive than we have yet heard In
Brunswick, we understand nearly twen-
ty buildings were burnt, and the village
narrowly escaped. Much damage was
also done in Bath. But the greatest
distress we have yet heard from, was in
Wiscasset, where upwards of seventy
buildings are said to have been burnt.
and some lives lost.
The following communication has
been handed US concerning the fire in
that town.
Destructive FIRE at Wiscasset.-The
high wind on Thursday last, kindled up

Treaty betsOeen Spain and Buenos .Ryuss.
By the fast sailing brig Dick. Capt.

lowing interesting intelligence, by which
it will be seen that preliminary Trea-
ty between the State of Buenos Ayres,
and the Government of Spain, was for
mally signed on the 4th of July.
The citizens of the United States. TO
the number of thirty, were celebrating
the Anniversary of our independence,
at Mrs. Thorn's Hotel, Mr.. Forbes pre-
siding, assisted by Capt. C. Prince, of
New York, as Vice President. After
they had got through with their regular
toasts, "a copy of which we have re-
ceived, Mr.. Forbes announced that he
had just received note from the min
ister of State, offering his Fluctuations to
the United States, on the glorious ami
versary they were celebrating, and in
formed him at that moment, Prelimi-
nary treaty had been signed between
the Spanish Commissioners, and the
State of Buenos Ayres.

THE BOOK

Considerable sensation has been produced
IN Boston by the publication, in that city, last
week, of Book, containing a private and
confidential correspondence between the Hon.
John Adams and the late William Cunning
ham, Esq. of Fitchburg in this County. lis
on various subjects, relating to public affairs,
and is now collected and published by Ephra-
I'm May Cunningham, the son of one of the
writers, into whose hands it fell on the death
Of his father. 1t is supposed by many, that it
will have some bearing on the Presidential
question. We have not read it. and are
therefore unable to judge of its probable -ef.
feet; but we protest, most seriously and
earnestly, against so hagitious a violation of
faith and honour. When, in the confidence
ofprivate friendship, we unbosom to another
our most secret thoughts, with the causes
and motives of our actions, it betrays no ordi-
binary restitution of moral principle, to tear
away the veil, and expose to the public gaze,
that, which every principle of honor and of
truth prompts us to conceal. 1t may be said
that these obligations were imperative, only
on the father, and not binding on the son but
we can see no difference. The papers came
into his possession in the course of Providence,
subject to every condition and restriction
which had been imposed on the father.
We are no partizans of the Adams's. Our
prejudices and our sympathies are not enlisted
ON their side; yet we wish to see justice ex-
tended to them in common with every mem
Der of the community.
We cannot conclude, without expressing
our deep regret, that this unfortunate young
man, for whom we have personally felt re-
spect, should thus, through the influence of
evil counsel las we believe) have planted a
thorn in his bosom which must continue to
rankle there, source of pain, inquietude, and
regret, to the latest period of his life.

them much injury and before they
could recover themselves, the garrison
made desperate sally, headed by Sill
Robert Wilson, and suite, when some
severe fighting ensued, in which the
French lost 600 men.
The cannonade continued the whole
of the 18th. On the 18th, the French
made several attacks, which were re-
pulsed with great slaughter. In the
sally, Sir Robert had his horse killed,
and before he could remount, was
wounded, but not dangerously. Colonel
Light also received a severe wound.
On the 18th, the French commenced
a furious but Intellectual cannonade,
while the fire from the garrison was
so well directed as to kill and wound
many of the enemy Since then. the
French have withdrawn from the line
of fire; but remain in the immediate vi
cinity, recruiting their forces after three
days fatigue, aud taking care of their
wounded. The inhabitants defend the
place most enthusiastically, and man the
guns with skill. They ascribe their
present preservation to the strangers
among them; and having two months
provisions, they have no fears of the
French taking the place.
Sir Robert Wilson has succeeded in
procuring the liberation of the Baron
de Richemont, brought into Corunna, a
prisoner, in French East Indiaman
He is brother to the French Minister,
