clair of this city, and it is beIieged to be the best mode of naturalizing foreign vines to our climate. In this case the wild vines Of the woods, chicken grapes, ac. may be taken for stocks with great advantage. In this theory we have for our support at least one powerful auxil- liary, common sense. The stock Of the lengrafted plant is naturaIized to the soil and climate, and can therefore nourish and support the tender stranger; while, # the whole tree be imported, # wastes it's strength and dWindles in its efforts to accommodate itself to astrange climate and to obtain support in a strange soil. The two cases may be aptly compared
 to young man i'll strange country. Il happily he be engraffed upon an cstab- lished family, and reeeiveits countenance l and support, how much better will he not do than ile would ii left 1t to build him 1 self up in reputation and business bY his own unaided exertions, among entire strangers.
 We have thrown out these hints with great deference to the more extended experience of our readers, with hope not so much that they will be taken as guides to a more useful practice, as that they will elicit investigation and suggest experiments from which the end will be obtained; and We solicit the opinions of experienced and practical men on the subject.
 The following article is from the Ma tional Intelllgencer. We scorn to aim shaft at fallen man, as is the Duke d. Angouleme at this. moment. But the anecdote is one which ought to be plac. ed on record, IS worthy example ef decision and firmness in an American public Officer, when menaced by an enraged foreign populace, instigated by the minions of q despotic Government.
 AMERICAN SPIRIT.
 It appears by recent arrivals at New York, that Charles A. with his family and suite, were to embark at Cherbourg in the American ships Great Britain and Charles Carroll, for Scotland. to occupy their old habitations. Thus they are forced to take refuge under the American flag, which the Duke of Angouleme took so much pleasure in venting his Royal slpeen against some years ago, in Bordeaux. We well re- collect the outrages our fellow-citizens received in that city, both on the access sion of the Bourbons, and on their re turn with the baggage of foreign mel cenaries, after the hundred days reign ofNapoleon. We witnessed all ofthem. and canneyerforget the courageous con duct of Mir. Lee, who was then our Consul at that port.
 Al q meeting of the he Chamber Of Com merce of Bordeaux, large sum was voted to give the Duke and Duchess of Angouleme ball. The spacious roofed Court of the Exchange was iloored over, and decorated magnifi-
 gently for the occasion. In each cor
 her of this immense hall, were placed mathematical transparent paintings, re presenting the four quarters Of the globe,
 and over them were tastefully arranged the colors of all nations, among which, lthe American flag was not the least con spicious. The Duke of Angouleme, on the Morning of the ball being invited by the committee of Arrangements to take view of the decorations, which the crowds of the evening might hide in part from hisylew, wa5nearly thrown into convulsious al the sight of the flag lof Liberty suspended over America: and to gratiiy his wishes, the time ser ving creatures who accompanied him, ordered the striped bunting to be taken down, and the British flag put in its place. This pitiful act soon took wind. 1t reached the ears of our vigil .t .ss..s Consul, ri,o with several Ameri- cans, among whom we made one, visited the ball room 10 ascertain the fact
 We found 1t toe true: and we well re- member the indignationeit caused, and the Spirited conduct of our Consul on the occasion. By order of the Govern or, all the inhabitants, on the firing of the salute, were to hoist the white flag. The foreign Consuls stuck it up by the side of their own. The Elegantees dis played their sheets, the house keepers their table cloths. the poisards narf of
