worth nii_'iiiionii-g at Brat, gradually inc_ea*ed, and
enabled l_iir_ to build larger ves.Si_!fi, and extended
his spirit ol enterprise in all directiona. His frugality bordered on avarice. Sailor's fare was to
him the best, and the freighting of vessels his favorite pursuit. The success which attended his
exertions at length became unexampled; for he
never had his ship insured, but always chose skillful and experienced cup tains, thus saving himself
the heavy expense of taking out insurance policies, and continued-aeti'ng on this principle, gradually increasing his capital more aud more, utiti'
it swelled to an euormous amonnt. Illiterate, as
a French common sailor needs be, and searcely
able to write his own name, he called all his ships
after the great authors of his native country, and
thus enjoyed lhe sensation of beholding tie American flag waving above a Montesquieu, a Voltaire,
a IMvetius, aud a Jean Jackues Rousseau. His
ships, which he was in the habit of sending successfully to Lhe island Mauritius, at that, time the
Isle de France, to Calcutta and Canton, and each
of which cost from forty to sixty thousand dollars,
brought back cargoes worth from one to two huudred thousand dollars to Philadelphia, and thence
to Europe, particularly to Messrs. Hope & Co., at
Amsterdam, and were never insured. Remarkable
good fortune attended ali these emerpiises. Uutil
the year 1815 not one of his ships was ever lost or
captured. It will be easy to form an idea of the
amount ol capital accumulated by this saving of
insurance premiums, when the latter went as high
as from ten lo fifteen, and even twenty per cent.

The Vistage.—The following letter, says the

contains some in teres! ing observations on the v in.
tage of the preeent yewr :
In the departments in which the renowned sort
of wine are produced, they will be equal to what'
we call viua de ta c.omete—a sacramental phrase
for good winea, ever since the year 1811 when a
comet caused great fear to feeble-minded people.
In the departments in which, like that ot the:
Iler.iuit, cheap wine* are produced, the abundance'
is extraordinary aud the qua'ity good. There
have beeu so:(ie bunchee of grapes, rare it is true,
7 centimetres, {'Ih feel long.) In some vinyards'
-in ■ 1 :ud ire : ■* ;:;' iiallon.) of wine p-r he-.tar'
[2$ scree) trtt»e iv en oblained. Certain owuers
have atftde .:(l,000 lieetolitres :■ others 25.000 : and
there are even some who have obtained 35.000.—
Now y*m know t--at the ci.u-uu_pt*ou ol the United
Kingdom of Great. Britain and Ireland is only
aboul 35,000 iieclolitres. The selling price oi wine'
to ie takeu at liie owner's, (the purchaser finding
hia own casks,), has fallen as low as 2f. the hectoli-'
tre—9 cent mes Hie gallon. This is exceptional, it
is true : but for 4 cents a gallon you may hare aa'
much vine as you iifre.-*
What a Ft range thing it is tbat Europe should
impose heiiVJ cn.-iom duties ou a beverage so'
agree ble, so strengthening, and so nourishing !—
In England, 'or example, the gallon which you:
might have in fhe Ilerault for 2d. pays a custom
duty ot 5s, 9d. It is true that in your tariff that is
the on.y enormity you have; but ought that to be
