is enormous. Roederer, the Counfellor

A colle€tion of feveral Tartar Mantchou 
Grammars will be publithed fhortly, by 
M. LAaNGLes, together with fome dia 
Jogues in that language, compofed by Fa- 
ther Domingue and M. Raux, French 
Miffionaries at Peking; as likewife an 
Appendix to the Mantchow Diétionary, 
already publifhed, containing the French 
words explained in the Mantchou lgn- 
guage. 
It is about a year ago fice the French 
Government caufed to be tranfported te 
Corfica a colleétion of exotic vegetables, 
which were furnifhed by the Mufeum of 
Paris, and felected from fuch as appeared — 
the moft likely to become inured to the 
climate of that ifland, and to be, at the 
fame time, the moft ufeful to the arts and 
to the commerce of the inhabitants. Ci- 
tizen NOisETTE, gardener, was appointed 
to attend them, and to fuperintend their 
culture. In a letter addreffed to Citizen 
Thouin, and dated from Ajaccio, the 
roth of Brumaire laft, he gives a detail 
of his firft fuccefles. Almoft all thofe 
vegetables are turned to good account; 
they were planted immediately in a plat- 
form or mount, and this tranfplanta- 
tion does not appear to have diminithed 
their vigour: on the contrary, their growth 
has been fenfibly obferved during the firft- 
year. Among the trees which compofe 
this vegetable colony, we diftinguith the 
fweet-acorned-oak, the falfe acacia, the 
cytilus of the Alps, the jujube-tree (/e 
jujubier) the Judzea-tree (arbre de Fudée) 
the goyavier, the indigo-plant (Pindigo- 
tier) the cotton fhrub, the fophora of © 
Japan, the plaque mimier, of. Virginia, — 
and the bean-plant of China (fewier de 
la Chine). Among the plants. we reckon 
the nopal of cochineal, the pitt-aloes, dif- 
ferent fpecies of arum, of afclepias, of 
geranium, of folanum, and of belladonna; 
fome of which are ufeful in the arts, and 
others in medicine. ‘The multiplication 
and naturalization of thefe vegetables, all 
foreign to Corfica, will, doubtlefs, call 
for much care and conftancy; but every 
thing may be expected from the experience 
of the gardener to whom they are entrufted, 
efpecially if he fhall obtain from the ad- 
miniftrators of that ifland, as there is no 
reafon to doubt, the neceflary affiftance to 
accomplifh this defign. tak
