Grapes.---As the preference of Ameri-: eanoycr foreign grapes s,isno,v completely settled as 10 vineyards, We would mako the following suggestions, to be attend- cd to during the winter, or carly in the spring:
 As 1t is reasonable to eoHciude that those grapes which VIC find growing in q wild stale, through the country, arc well adapted to the climate, We would recommend to those persons who feel an interest in the cultivation, 10 look out such vines as are in their neighbofhood, which arc good bearers, (and this infor- nation can generally bc obtained from the boys, who are better acquainted with them than men,) and prune them, giving them an opportunity to silow their quail ities the present year; this will make . saving of two years over moving thc vines 10 the garden. The prospect is, itiiat tiic grape known through inc noffh- ern states as the summer grdpe, or the
 pitis intermedia of the botanisis, being an intermediate grape bctwecnthel large fox, and the small frost grape, will prove one of our most valuable varieties for wine, and as every attempt 10 select by fair experiment the best vines of the woods, is doing our country great ser vice, we hope it will not be .neglecled. and that each IEortieultutist will come tothe conclusion, thathe willput at least a couple of vines in training tile present season; it will not be attended with any cost, and may be asourcc of much profit to those who succeed in finding n good variety. c.

THE BALL TO MIR, VAUGHAN.

We noticed in our last the Entertain ment given 10 Mir. VAUGHAN, fife British Minister who is about to leave our coun- try to return to his home. The incl dents Of the evening were of the most gratlfyingnat Amongst them noth- ing was more admired than the frank ness and felicity of the brief address by Mir. VAUGHAN, in which he acknowl- edged the kindness iof . toast given i1l honor of him as the guest of the Com pany- Having heard 1t attcntively, we venture to offer the following as sub- Istantial report of it:
 "l am sensible of the very fiattering terms in which the Mayor of Washing ton has proposed to You 10 drink my health; and l rise to offer my most heart felt thanks to the members of Congress. land to the citizens of Washington, who have been pleased, this night, to give me a splendid and cordial manifestation of theirregard. Iamindeed fortunate in having eonciliated their good opinion and won their esteem, while faithfully ldischarging my duties as His Britanic
 Majesty's Minister.
 l s'l think that ] read, in the cheering countenances before me, that generous lspirit of conciliation which oblteratesall recollection of fancient animosities. God grant that the friendship and union be- tween the United States and Great Rri- tain, may be indissoluble as their mutu- | al interests can make II, and as affection- ate, as it ought to be, between Nations, kindred in origin, in language, in free and wise institutions of Government.
 StThe characteristic of our kindred Nations, is an irresistible spirit of enter prise and iudustry-the result, the hap lpiness, and prosperity of the people, Istrikingiy manifest thronghoutthis coun- try. May such result be the insepar- able companion of the English language wherever it may be spoken, and n the r,snlotest regions where ii may De here- after known.
 Lit is with pain and regret that I find ttidt HtJ HCultu IC1uiiSo q sCpdtdllOll from you. From first tolast, have uni- versall, met with cordiality and kindness E in my intercourse with the Government, land with every class of society. Be as sured, that wherever 1 may go, shall carry with me q fond and indelible re- |collection of your kindness"
 Being colIed uponin turn fora toast. Mr. VAUGHAN gave s1'iIE LADIES' a. peleggiziag for doiiasg doiags when llie lie had | chosen to pass his life in sssingle wretch edness,'' and had never tasted welded bliss, so we'll described, by poet but little known, as
 |"Df one kind heart te be thc slave and ford "To bless and to be blessed, to adore and
 be adored.
 The toast we need not add, was drank with the greatest demonstrations of loy- alty to the sentiment. The music which followed the Toast Come to inc wed- ding was not unhappily chosen.

TT i,r territory which they getwill be of little value. The State of Maine gets the best and nearly all that they wish. Con- nectleut river is of no importance, and may bc looked upon as to balance the scales. sifhe British grounds were con sidered the best, but the Americans had such, which could by no means become rejected. The parallel was always in favor of the British, but since the King had secured to England their political advantage, he did the same with the A- merlcans by giving them the fortress, Point Rouse's, which breaks the paral- Tel, and is of much importance to Anne rica. Two forts built to the southward would not have been of as much value as this.n

Thus there are two Admirals to ship; four Generals to a regiment ;and three Field officers to two companies and although the whole army is on service, and it's numbers barely sufficient for the mainte- nance of the public tranquility, il is sup- posed that not more than one in 40 of the Generals is employed.

ne Eastean B0.tndary.-The House of Representatives Of the State ofMaine. went suddenly into Secret sessson on Monday week, on the motion of Mir. 1EANE. It is we'll known that this gen- tleman has, for several years, devoted himself to the acquisition of informa- ton respecting the disputed territory, and has contended, with resolution and spirit, for the whole district. Consider ing that report had just arrived from Europe, that the King of the Nether- lands had decided the boundary ques- ton, there can be no doubt the secret ses- sion regarded that subject. The re- port said the decision divided the alter cated territory, giving, however, to Maine the greatest share. Mir. D. would know. at glance, what this share was. Whether Maine will consent to this ar engagement remains to be seen. ltis un- fortunate, perhaps, that the session of Congress has terminated at thls moment. It is indeed possible that the Senate may be retained, as the runor, and possibly the official accounts, must have reached Washington before the 4th of March: the Senators of Maine would not be negligent.
 The Secret Session of Monday con tinued about an hour.
 The Portland Courier says, that, as far as it has been able toasceriain Pnhlic C. piniononthe subject, the peopleof Maine are not satisfied with the decision.
 The proceedings of the Legislature in the Secret Session, have been trans mitted to the President. Some step on tie important subject has been taken with great experimentation Pal.

 Permit me to make known. as inter- esting 10 your readers in Florida, that the iil,istfious and much beloved Lafay- etc has sent me, and requested me to execute, an unqualified power of altor- ney to sell at public or private sale, one half of his Florida Lands. have no doubt that, in distinguishing me by this mark oi ins confidence and regard. his leading object was 10 relieve the good people of Florida, and it's capital, Tai lahasse, into which his land runs. from all apprehensions of the check which might ensue to the growth of that coun- try, by having in the heart of it n body ef 224 ,00a acres Of unoeeupied land. l understand much of it 10 be exceedingly well adapted 10 the growth of cotton and sugar-cane, and Of tobacco; but l will give you :, more pariicuiardescription of it when better informed.
