Manufactures*
We are indebted to the SouUicni Fa»
triot fertile fnllotfiag very sensitetcrc
marks, on Mr- Speed m Con.
grew, on the interesting subject of Man
ufactures: — .
Nr.es’ last contains the Speech
of this great in Congress ot the
Manufacturing interests. Wc wore an.-vi
mis to see an exposition of the gronmis of
the bill reported by this gentleman as
Chairman of tie Committee mi Manufac
ture, We hive been disappointed on the ■
perusal of Ms harangue. It abounds m
those hacknied arguments which have il
luminated the columns of the Northern
Newspapers on tin* question, and we are.
surprised to behold, so often in the mouth
of a statesman, the phrase national inde
pendcncl", in an argument addressed to an
enlightened assembly, and intended to
convince them of the policy t>f giving pro
tection to apart i* lar t-ranch oi industry.
The deficiency of such general views and
particular statements as wo expected to
find, is poorly compensated by
tions against excessive important ns, the
East Indian trades and argument* in
favour of commercial restrictions urged
from the example of other governments.
One acquitemcnU in political economy
mu at be considered very low if this speech .
is deemed, in Europe, a fair instance oi I
o*ir progress in this useful science. J
We (iml the leading argument of the
speech to be a policy of meeting restric
tions on our commerce with Europe, by
correspondent regulations. In other
words, that as our bread stuff's are exclu
ded from the ports-'of (ireat Urban, by
the operalonirt her Corn laivst! our To
hacco, restricted in its sale in those of
France, by the absurd mo topqly which rU
government has estifjlished in its own fa.
vor, and our Cotton Subjected to duties in
the markets of both countries, we should
still further, narrow! our exportation of
these articles, for the purpose of creating
a domestic demand.
Now, we have no objection of seeing
this system reduced to practice, if any
nlode can be devised of increasing the
number of American consumers of these
commodities. If the population can be
suddenly augmented, so as to take off
the surplus of grain which we have been
raising to feed the idle population of Eu
rope for the last twenty years and up- ■
wards—if the taste for Tobacco could lie
as suddenly increased—and if our manu
facturing establishments were augmented
so as to relieve the planter of Cotton, of
the immense quantities of this article
they raise for the European markets, the
argument would derive some plausibility
that our agriculture must prosper on a
system of prohibitory policy such as
proposed Hut :ts nothing short of an
operation of magic, can suddenly supply
the loss of foreign consumers by an equal
number of domestic—as cue population
will not consume more grain, more tobac
co, or more clothing, to enlarge tin: de
mand of the raw material, at which it is
made, than their ha'uis, their wants,or their
neans of purchase, now enable it
to do, we are for leaving this matter,
where it must be left—-to the gradual en
largenn ns of the domestic market and
demand flow singula/- a notion must the
favor, is of this project have conceived of
the effect oflaw, when limy expect it to
■or.e*4healouu sue consumption of our sta
ples loan equal extent with the 10-etgn.
«)tli- Cotton and Tobacco planteis do
ml comp'uin of the narrowness of the
foreign markets, an 1 surely on a subject
of tins nature they are the best judges.—
the reduction in the price of gram has
not enlarged its domestic consumption
so as to relieve the fanner, and unless wc
can renew that state of things in Europe
in which the labors of agriculture were
exchanged for the pursuits of war, or in
duce that pan of its population which
have been the consumers of 'oup bread
stuffs to ■emigrate to the United States,
we are unable to conceive how the res
training policy recommended can benefit
tlia farmer. The Cotton and Tobacco
growers are willing te trust for the safe
of their staples to the chances of any
change that may "happen in the commer
cial policy of their customers, and only beg
to be let alone. Now if die farmer is indu
ced to listen to the argument, that dosing
the markets cf Europe entirely against
him will be any con nciisalion for the addi
tional price lie will have to pay for his
clothing, we can only pity his credulity .
Ihe failure of crops in Europe mav and
will occasionally assist the sate of flour, but
uules. lit- is persuaded that the higher
rates at which the whole body of Ameri
can consumers of European manufactures
must.on the prohibitory.systera, purchase
their clothing, will leave them more able
to buy ol him than they now are—or un
less he can suppose that prohibitions have a
magical effect in multiplying at home the
numbers who are to be fed—he will aeri
ously pause before he seconds an intcr
mecdhng policy which will assuredly
cave him more distressed than its finds
turn.
The Editor of the Federal Gazette has
come out with what he deems sufficient
authority for the story about the eight
millions of dollars which he says Don
Luis de Onis was ready to offer, once up.
a * n W mel ! t of the claims of the
United States fop Spanish spoliations.—
And what, reader, do >pu think is the
proof? Why, the Edited es the Gazette
has diligently searchel his “ memory's
chest,” tmd brought to ight what the dust
ot antiquity had almost obscured; mi ora
cular sort of a paragraph in a Philadelphia
[taper, printed rather nore than ten years
ago, not even asserting, but insinuating,
Uliai when Don Luis de Onis presented
himself as amb uer from Spain, and wa
Dot recognize- be au*c bis country v a a
■ atate of civil and sovereignty oil
at claimed in different parts of it by two
distinct authorities—he w-as authorized to
offer eight millions &c. &c. Now we de
iy that this sort of evidence is entitled to
any aort ot credit. At and before that day,
and even since, such shallow artifices have
ported to by foreign agents who
tiave thus taken upon themselves to an
peal from obr government to the people
and have been eagerly assisted by those a
nuing uj (for such there Aare henJ who
\
to weaken the ceafidewte of tae l?
people of the United States inthe governj
si,!t of. heir choice. Wc 3
many such cases, were it necessary. Bur
it is absurd to suppose, that the bmts an .
iimendoes which any foreign agent mav
circulate or sanction, by a nod o.r shrug of
the shoulders, are to be palmed on «s as
proof of any thing. Ifthisbe the only fomt
elation for the story which has been got up *
anew, (for what purpose we cannot divine)
it is indeed wholly unsubstantiablc.
Titesc remarks are not made because wc
consider it a matter -of any the least mi- ;
portance, whether the story be true or ■
false. Posterior occurrences, however—
the a hole progress of subsequent negoti
ation -with Dun Luis de Onis, shew that,
so far from having any thing to of *r _ us, <
the Spanish government has had no object -
but the procrastination of justice to us,
and-finally has refused to ratify a J reatj,
concluded, on equitable terms, by the very
same Spanish .Minister who, it is pretend
• e<l, bad so many millions to bestow for the
asking, some ten or twelve years ago.

A person by the name of Jacob Little
subscribed for 900,000 dollars of this Loan,
tenders eighteen dollars as the, tirst insta.',
ment, being two dollars on each hundred
thousand, electing to pay the remainder
on the 2-Jth October next, and claiming the
scrip, which, if obtained, he doubtless in
tended to mage a penny on, by selling it
at such advance as h« could, fit the mean
time, get for it; his risk on failing *o do
so, being only the eighteen dollars be has
paid in. The scheme was ingenious
enough ; but, Mr Little would have found,
had he persevered in it, he had “-reckoned
without his host.” There would have been
bids enough for the Loan, on tetms advan
tageous to the government, to exclude /as
bvl from notice; the Secretary having a
perfect right to accept such bids from the
whole number offered, as should be most
Rir the advantage of the -Government
From subsequent information, we learn
that Mr. Little withdrew Iris bid a I* bonne

Wc take peculitir pleasure in stating,
which we do upon unquestionable autho
rity, as an evidence c-ftlie mutual attach
ment and confidence existing between
the officers ami seamen, as well as the
happy state of discipline of our navj,
that a few days since, the entiie crew of

(one of the squadron lately under the or
ders of Commodore Morris,) commanded
by Capt. John D. Nicholson, were paid
off; the pay received by them amounting
to upwards of £ji2,ooo; in ten days from
the time of their discharge, the whole
crew re-entered the .service for a three
years’ cruise on board that ship, now com
manded by Capt. Kidgeley: a circum
stance, we believe, without example in
the naval service of this or any other
country. Norfolk Jleacon, slh inst.

boats grappled on each side of the Frank

her anchors, and after th- se were raised,
towed her with apparent ease, up the
East River, a: the rate of six miles
per hour, as weave assured by Captain
Bunker. These steam boats have power
ful engines, but it was curious >o witneas
