From the trventh member of the .Gazette 9/ It jfr proper to^observe, that til wines naturally possess a proportion of ateoliol (ardent spirit)) but to the fbrtign wines a quantity is ad ded tc n prevent their running into acetQUS fermcntaiioa duriiig their1 voyage to this country, and this is proportioned t& the quality of the winey In order therefore to Ascer tain the quantity the diffcrent_wirifes.. [ ^onriin on an average, the experi . mem* have been made on wipes *fioq|, different venders. Brandy and rum arc* sqld at different de grees of strength ; indr cd, some tertard white brandy and wiiitexum arc highly rectified. The bripdy artd c^n employed in the following eweriments, were obtained from a reipcctaMe wine merchant, " who wa* desired to *c:n<J samples of the articles as -g&efaJly qojfi fo thfc pub - lie.--. : , ; A jbottle of port wine, contain- i in g ounces wbi?fi had been in ;4>oule seven years, produced 2 ounces and 7 drachma of alcohol _ (aoit^pii it ) * - - Ditto of port wine, containing 25 -y ounces (ofie year in bottle and two years in wood) z ounccs, 6 drachms. \ v--r-:-- " ~ Ditto of pale sherry, 3 years old^ontaining s 5 ounccs, produc to of Madeira, two years old, containing i j {-ounces, a ounces 5 drachms. | r Ditto cape ditto, one year old, ] containing a j ounces 2 4 ounces. Ditto old hock, <^jpkurin<r ?1 ounces, nearly an ounce. . Ditto pbrandy containing 24 | -ounces, 10 ounces. Ditto rum, containing 244- ounc es, 9 i ounces. A quart of public hopse ale (not bottled) from the brewer/ of Mr. Wyatr, 1 ounce. From a quart of common draught Porter, from the brcjjctjr of Messrs. Elliott and Co. 5 's drachms. ?|| From the foregoing results, k appears that frur bottles, either of Port, Sherry, br Madeira, contain more ardertt spirit than a bottle of brandy. ,<i Three bottles of Sherry are nearly equal to one bottli of rum. That io bottles of hock, or 10 ?uarts of ale/ or 14 J- quarts of 'orter, 'art equal to a bottle of brandy. The residuum ?if port .wine con tartaric acid than that of Madeira. Jn one bottle of port, a small por tion of vitriolic acid was detmed. The hock also contains a consider-* ablr portion of tartaric add* . The residuum of the rum contains raw ,ar, and the brandy burnt sugar, h a pungent atom * tic, resem bling' capsicum. The residuum of the ale and porter was very bitter, and the 'spirit of the former wasl slightly flavored with the essential oil of . the hop. Both contain sac charine matter. As a tonic medicine, the prefer ence is generally given to port wine, on account of its astringency, but in cases of indigestion and irritabi lity of the bowels, the tartaric acid is a very great objection to it. When this wine is on (What the mer chants term) the fret, it is a prac tice with some to add to it a lictle vi triolic acid, which more effectually checks itthan brandy >*? Sherry wine appears to be the best ? fermented, and. more free from tartaric acid and saccharine matter than any- other. however, at best only a dilute spirit ? Brandy is preferable to rum, on account of being entirely free from sugar. A The legislature of Georgia at their last session passed a section of the new penal code, which inter-* diets, under .very severe penalties, the introduction of slave* into this state by negrotradeia for- specula*" tion ? subjecting to a fine of tooo dollars and to five years imprison ment irt the penitentiary, the pefson who shall bring into the state a slave, and sell, or offer fof sale, -such slave within one year thereafter t with the exception only of emi grant* from other states, who 'are allowed to bring with them, aodi dispose of aithey may think proper, slaves wht> are their bonafide pro l*rty. ? It will be observed, that the section above alluded to, does not prohibit residents of this state, ' or others, from bringing negroes into ii for their own use , bot subjects them to the severe -penalties of the act, if they sell or offer them for sale within a specified time Savannah Rep.
