Domestic JFinc.—The Georgetown Rn-
lulilicnn pulilislies it letter Iront Mr. Atl-
liiio, (m> ebluhrntod for the perfeetion to
which he hits brought (IditiPMlc wine from
the unlive grape,) from which wo extrtici
the following receipt, for making wine of
wild grapes. This, ns he rcntiirko, is the
season nt which the common Fox grape,
und other large grapes arc ripe; ami ns
otliers will he ripening until after frost, it
is well to draw the attention of farmers to
tho subject. Mr. Adluin says, tliat there
are thousands, if not tens of thousands of
bushels of wild grapes of various kinds,
now growing in tho different section of
our country, each bushel of which will
make from two to three gallons of wine,
much better than the wretched sniff im
ported in woutl called Claret, and other
imported wines of low prices. He gathered
some of tho Fox grapes for experi
ment, from the places where they grew
naturally, und bruising them and strain
ing them through a thin piece of muslin,
tried the specific gravity, and found it to
he 1,055, which was the average of three
different wines, anti which is equal to one
pound four ounces of the sweet principle,
that Is, (sugar) to the gallon of the juice
or must.
TO MAUF. WINE OF WILD CinitPES.
Gather the Grapes when ripe nnd bruise
them with a mallet, or in any other way,
to crack the skins is sufficient, hut take
great care not to bruise the seeds....and
when the grapes arc bruised, put them in
to an open headed cask or tub, hut tlo not
till it more than two thirds full, where
they are to remain for one, two or three
days, according to the temperature of the
weather, or until the pulp or colouring
matter is dissolved. The skins and seeds
will have risen to the surftico nnd the
wine is to he drawn olf Ity a hole made
within one or two inches of the bottom,
the wine will run olf tolerably clear ; but
have a hair seive to let it run through to
catch every thing ihnt may run off with
the witie....when you have the v. ine drawn
off, add sugar to your taste, or it is a but
ter way to add sugar until n fresh egg
swims, just so that the upper edge is even
with tbe surface of the must, nnd its soon
as it is dissolved, put it into :i clean cask
well fumigated with nsulphur match and
bung it tip tight ; bore n small gimhlet
hole near tho bung, into which put a peg,
not so tight hut tliat a little air may es
cape to keep the cask from bursting. I11
about three weeks, drive the peg in tight,
and il is not necessary to look nt it again
until the first week in December when,
in nine case* ™,t ,i.„ vv j||
be perfectly fine and bright ; you
not he under any apprehension about the
fermentation, ns it will go on its own way.
amt nature will perform Iter office in the
best manner paeeiblo.
On a clear cold tiny in December exam
ine your wine, nnd in nine cases out of ten
it will he completely fermented, anti it will
he perfectly fine and bright. Then rack
t off into a clean cask, fumigated with n
supplier match, anti in (lie month of March
following, nick it again as above....anti if
t should not bn perfectly (ine, fine it with,
f red wine, the whites of eggs,....if white
wine, with milk.
IF all these operations fire done with
proper care, it will then he incorruptible,
and last for an age, or ages if necessary.
I am here speaking of the Fox and other
larger grapes.
If the smaller grapes are used, such as
the fall or frost grapes or otliers, us the
chicken or pigeon, which are full of seeds
nnd have thick clammy juice, it wifi be
necessary to add from one gallon to a gal
lon anti a half of water to the bushel of
grnpes, either before or after they are
bruised, the grapes to he first measured in
the clusters—put the wnter to them a lit
tle more than milk warm, and rub them
well with the hand, then put them into a
cask or tub as above mentioned, and fol
low the directions given for the manufac
ture of the Fox grape wine. In rubbing
them with your liaiids, it is very easy to
get most of the steins off the grnpes, anil if
separated, will make a neuter wine.
When you have not the means of get
ting the instruments for ascertaining the
specific gravity of the must of the grupu
and if you wish a wine to keep for an in
definite length of time, the way is to add
sugar to the must slowly, and dissolve it
until a fresh egg swims, so that the upper
edge is just even with the surface of the
must of the grapes, which will then he li
quid to about three pounds of the nweet
principle, (sugar,) to the gallou ; where
there are about two pounds of the sweet
principle in the gnllon, it will make u
wine that ought to he drank within the
twelve month following. But for your
grog bruisers, whiskey, rum, anti madcira
drinkers, who drink for the "intoxicating
quality and not for the favor”—it will ho
necessary to add from three to four gal
lons of strong brandy to the battel of
wine—with lour gallons of brandy to the
} ,YUUR mmnlis alter dote, application will he
' made to llie lionoratile Inferior court ol ".V’asli

Shocking Accident.—Mr. N. B. Moore,
a respectable merchant of this city, who
had been hunting during Friday, ami not
wishing to set by his gun loaded, fired off
tho left hand barrel, which hurst anti so
lacerated his left hand anti wrist, that
amputation became necessary. The ope
ration was performed on Saturday.
In noticing such an accident, we think
it our duty to state what may not have
been noticed by every hunter, end which
certainly increases the liability of the gun
to bo burstetl. In double-barrel guns,
where one haircl is fired, nnd partieuarlly
if the charge has been heavy, the recoil
loosens the wad on the shot in the other
barrel, if the recoil is considerable, or
the same barrel has been fired several
times in succession, the space between
the powder wad and shot wad in the other
barrel becomes considerable. The in
creased danger, therefore, of bursting this
barrel, when fired must be evident. To
avoid thisdanger, after loading the empty
barrel nml before returning the rammer,
it should he the constant practice of those
who regard their safety, to repluco the
loatl in me other barrel by two or threo
smart strokes of the ramrod.

WONDERFUL RECOVERY OF VISION.
Mrs. Pollock, a respectable widow, who
resides with her daughter and son-in-law,
at Tully, in the south liberties of this ci
ty, became blind 22 years ago, from an in
flammation in the eyes, induced by one of
them being injured by a stalk of flax.—
During this long period, the book of na
ture was a complete blank to her, so com
pletely had “dun suffusion veiled” these
tender organs. Thus she continued,
without the remotest hope of ever discern
ing an object, when, about two weeks
since, she said to her daughter, Mrs. Ste
phenson, “I think, tny dear, I perceive
the window, has it Bars across it?” “That
were a happy circumstance indeed!” re
plied the daughter; hut I fear it is old,
imagination, as the window lion no bars.
The mother was silent for a minute, and
then exclaimed, “] think, daughter, 1 can
see tny arm.” It was no phantasm; a
kind Providence was restoring what he
had taken ovvny; and from that moment
the object of his goodness litis been daily
improving, in so much, that .she can now
clearly distinguish the different members
of the family, and walk abroad without
needing, as formerly, one to lend her by
the baud.

The combined Turkish forces consisted
of 3 ships of the line, 10 frigates, 27 brigs,
27 corvette's—in all 73, extlusive of u
number of fire ships. This estimate ol
the force is tnude from the account of the
action given in the Paris Moniteur. But
the Constitutional saysthe Moniteur gives
but a very imperfect account of the im
mense number of the Turco-Fgypiiut.tt
engaged. It says tlm Turkish Govern
ment never collected, on a single point, a
more imposing naval force. They rfick-
onetl—12ii transports, 4 ships of the line
4 frigates of(!0 guns, 14 dot of 40 tlo. 39
corvettes, and 37 fire ships—total 224 ; of
which hut the wrecks of 23 brige and cor
vettes were left, anti even these were tt-
Imutloned. Tho action commenced soon
after sunrise, and at nine o’clock the hat-
terieg of Nuvarino and Sphacteria were
silenced, and five vessels were on fire.—
At ten, forty-fire Austrian transports,
monied near tho inner isluml, were also
inflames; and about noon, the Turkish
naval force, tho impious work of foreign
structure, nml of crews raised from the
mud of European ports, had ceased to ex
ist ! The Captain of one of the Frnur.li
ships engaged, writes to his wife in Paris,
that the destruction of the Egyptian fleet
is complete, nml that the ships continued
burning two days after the battle. He
adds, tliat llie victory was so decisive,
that even the fortresses capitulated, and,
nt the Hour lie was writing, the flag of the
Allied Powers was floating on the ram
parts of Na varino, nnd the garrison mnrtli-
ing out before them. But the victory was
dearly purchased. Many gallant officers
ami men fell on hoard of the combined
fleets. The total killed in the British
fleet in the above action, was 75; wounded
197. In the French fleet, 45 killed,79 se
verely wounded, 05 slightly wounded. It
does not appear, by the despatch, that the
Russians suffered much. The battle
seems to have been fought with great fu
ry ou both sides ; but the Turks do not ap
pear to liuve lost that obstinate Courago for
which they have been remarked ever since
they became h nation. Considering the
number of'ships of the line opposed to the
Turks and tho Egyptians, it is surprising
that the battle lusted so long. Certainly
the Turks liaVo shown, by this battle, tliat,
in point of ability, they are superior to
what we have supposed. They indeod
fought to desperation, and their loss was
terriiic. In ono of their largest ships 050
men were killed, ami in uuoihcr 400.—
History affords no example of a co-ope
ration so prompt ami free on the part of
the s'jtinilrons of different nations.
Information was received in London, on
the evening of November 14, through the
French papers, iu which it was said that
Ibrahim (the Egyptian commander) hoist
ed the white flug before sunset, the time
prescribed by tlie Admirals; and if he
tlid so, it would appear that he was in
clined to submit, at least for the moment.
This news, if true, Is line wise important:
list, though it is not impossible, it is ne
vertheless very doubtful. The most au
thentic (unofficial] accounts state, that
Ibrahim was not at Navarinoat tlie time
of tho battle, having been engaged for a
tortnigi.A t" '••• it.tcilor uf Hid Mores, pur
suing tlie Christians in the mountains of
Mcssunia, attending tlie execution of
some Trieste, whom lie had crucified on
soma olive trees, making holocausts of
poor peasantry, or packages of young
girls and infants, to send into Egypt, and
laying tlie country waste by fire nnd
sword, rooting up the olives, vines, fig-
trees, &c. &c.
The editor of the Morning Ileruld ap
prehends that “his conduct would he re
gulated liy the state of his stores. If his
provisions were short, it would soein he
could have no other alternative than to
suspend hostilities, or precipitate the total
destruction of his troops by famine. If,
however, a statement in the French pa
pers, professing to be founded on letters
from Zaute, dated Oct. 25, may bo relietl
on, the hoisting of the white flag by the
Egyptian, commander, is out of tlie ques
tion. According to this statement, ‘ Ibra
him I’aclm, on being informed of tlie me
morable events of the 20lh, hail retreated
to Coron, and hnd caused all tbe .Greek
prisoners, men, women and children, wbo
had been iu his, power during fifteen
months, to be put to death by iha sword.
According to custom, the (itiests and other
persons devoted to religion, were crucifi
ed, or burnt by n slow fire. The details
given on this subject make one shudder;
but every thing announces that tiic last
hour of the Egyptian tyger approaches.
The English, French, nnd Russian flags
have been-flying on tlie wulls ofNuvnriuu
since the 24lh. Motion must now bn in
tlie power of the Triple Alliance.’ The
Herald adds, however, that the above in
telligence ujipears to ns of a doubtful
character. It is said that troops will lie
immediately forwarded to the Moreafrnm
Gibraltar,-and the British possessions ill
the Mediterranean. Private le'tters from
Paris also state, that tlie Minister of Ma
rine had issued orders for the fitting out
of seveml ships of the line fur the Medi
terranean.”
But tlie good news does not stop here.
Mr. Eynard, tlie Chairman of the Greek
Committee of Switzerland, writes (pom
Beaulieu, Nov. 8, that lie bus received the
official confirmation of the account of the
Greek fleet having burnt, iu the Gulf of
Lepanto, six Turkish brigs, anti takeu
three Austrian transports.
Tlie Moruii.g Herald of Nov, 15th an
nounces the arrival of Mr. Lindsay, witii
tiespatchesfroui Vienna.—.Mr.L.leit Vicu-
uu ou the bill November. Tlie news of
the buttle of Nuvariuo bad reached that
city tlie day before. Previous to Mr.
Lindsay’s departure, the British Ambassa
dor had an interview with Prince’Me(ter-
nicb; the result of which interview, Mr.
L. has, of course, brought with Imn. It
is understood that the Austrian Cabinet
approves—or rather doe-, not cpnqdniri —
of the destruction of the Austrian trans
ports, engaged in tbe service of tlie Pacha
of Egypt.
Tlie Consiitutionel says, “ the destruc
tion of this fleet by the Allied Powvrs
must be so serious, tliat the shrewdest and
most penetrating mind cannot calcu* ate fin
its consequences. There can be im teme
rity iu anticipating a real wr.r against
Turkey, and tho destruction oVthat barba
rous empire, which Ipts been so long wish
ed fpr by. the finy-cr® and enlightened
friends of humanity, who wish for tlie in
dependence and dignity uf intlivrduals and
nations.” “ Tho news,’’ says the sstno
paper in another place, “ mus^ fall like a
thunderbolt on the Divan—and particu
larly ou the Grand Seignor 5 nnd hnve Wo
no reason to fenr that, in the first momenta
of his fury, lie may not set hounds to hit*
vengeance and cruelty ? Precautions, ic
is said, are taken ill favor of those Euro
peans who are in the cnpital of the Otto
man Empire; hut what precautions can
resist the wrath of a despot, by whose nod,
thousands of heads leap from their shoul
ders? Or has he the power to stop tho
arm of his slaves? If he had, he would
have yielded to the Powers, whom ho
knows he cannot withstand; and that he
has not done so is because he dreaded tho
fate of his predecessors, who have tried in
vain to tame the fanaticism of llie Turks.
Heaven grant that the Europeans of Pern
nitty be able to escape the massacre, fur
which this news will he tho nigtinl I”
All tlie French papers appear highly
pleased with the event-, ami in extneies ae
the part borne in it by their own shipa>—
Some of tho English Journals already
show their jealousy of Russia—thinking
that Franco will obtain Egypt, and Rus
sia the European and part of the Asiatic
possessions of the Porte, nod then marclt
upon India at their leisure. A letter from
Zitnte says: “ I could not attempt to de
scribe tits joy of our lonians; the bolls art*
tolling, wine is uncorked, garlands t>i*
flowers are suspended from tho ChurCti
doors, nnd every thing indicates the great
est rejoicings at the safety of Greece.”
A iotter from Puris, of November 9,
States that the news of this terrible ren
contre had tho effect to lower the funds—
“ and they would have fallen to a much
greater extent, had not extraordinary ef
forts been made by the Minister and his
pnrtisuns to keep them up.”
Some think that Ibi-ahitn, now drivch to
despair; will listen to no proposals mado
lo Imn by tho Admirals. “Deatroj, if
you plense, the few vessels that remain in
the port of Navtiriuo, 1 will ent ry fire mvil
sword through the whole oftlreece!”—
This ilirent, it is much feared, lie will bo
able to carry into effect: lie h^s a power-
ful army nt his disposal, nnd the Allie* uro
incapable of affording any immediate as
sistance to the unfortunate Greeks, unless
indeed, the Russian army cross the Pruth;
anil; should this event take place, Eng*
land and France will not view thecirctun-
stnnco with any degree of satisfaction.—
Austrin has nlivnMvr i 'T’ K “ ,C i nw tn ® ,

result of the naval fight. Every ones
seems to anticipate dreadful consequen
ces from what has 'occurred. A possibles

the total extermination of the Greek po

Another Naval Battle..—By the arrival,
nt Boston, of the Brig Statesman from.
Malta, via Gibraltur, having sailed from’
tho latter place On the 7th of November,
uccounts ure received of an action wlticli
took place on the 4th of Oct. between tha
Algerine and French squudrotis iu sight
of Algiers.
The Algerines hail been for some tiina
preparing, for the avowed ohjeot of at
tacking the French force ; & on tlie night’'
of 0<t}. 3d, (being tlie eve of the festival
of Mahomet’s nativity) their squadron,
consisting of the following ships put to
sea : n frigate of 50gufts— « corvette (tha
Admiral’s ship) 36 guns - another corveitn.
24 guns—another 20 guns—2 three mast
ed schooners, lti guns each —2 schooners,
16 guns ent-.li—3 tlo. 12 guns each,—2 do-
12 guns each, and it brig uf 16 guns.
Eurly the following morning, they
were seen steering to the N. W. whilst,
the French squadron, consisting of 11 Ok
gun razee, (the Admiral’s ship) uuothcr ol*
the same class and metal - 2 brigs, one of
twenty, tlie other of sixteen guns, anil it
schr. of 16 guns, appear.! ut a considera
ble distance iu the offing, hearing down,
with a northerly wind upon the enemy.
On their approach to each other, botli
squadrons inaiiuiuvcred for some time to
get llie weather gage, which the skill of
the French obtained and kept. At 1 o’
clock 1’. M. tlie action commenced, anti
was continued courageously on both side;*
for two hours ami a quarter. The inten
tion of tho Algerines evidently appeared
to lie to hoard, rather than to fight at a
distance ; but their object was frustrated
by the windward position of the French
ships.—Tho French Admiral bore tltoi
brunt of the action, ami for some tnrttv
sustained the united attacks of the Alge
rine Admiral's ship, two corvettes, and a
schooner. At a quarter past 3 tho action
reused, neither (tarty shewing a disposi
tion to renew it, ns fur os uotihl ho observ
ed. neither having sustained much injury,
for nt 4 o’clock, ttli tho Algerine P’qua'jron
was soon steering fur the port, 'appu.rently
in ns good ortjer, and with as ’.nucb regu

unmolested by the Freri'.n, who steer

Ono of the ma t extraordinary instan
ces we ever hear 3 of the power of ventrilo
quism was efi/ rt.ed n few days ago, by
Mr. Cnlluber^ tu Fethnrd, in tlie county of
Wexford. A poor man of the name of
Finn, wlm virus labouring dreadfully ttn-
derhypo'jli.nndriii, hearing of Mr. tiallaher,
asked 11 is, Parish Priest (the Rev. Mr. O’-
Fishy ry,) if be might apply to that gentl»-
imr.i 1’jr the pur (lose of being cured. Tho
tdcrr.ymim, knowing that the man’s dis-
c.Vjc Iny solely in his imagination, thought
lie might ho cured by the same means.—
Ho therefore recommended Finn to apply
40 this celebrated ventriloquist. Upon
calling on Mr. Gttlbvbcr, Finn said that ho

constantly going into Ins mouth, and uf-
