2 particular words are marked as by the writer himself; and such, we repeat it, is a rapidly growing opinion among the people of the south. The time will come, when cotton plan ters shall be many tim s more anxious for a protective tariff than the cotton spinners ! To the last, indeed, it is uow of little importance, except to maintain the steadiness in the home market; for they meet the British in fair and manly competition abroad, and undersell them in every market which is equally free to our fa bricks and their’s.* This is *' confirmation strong as proofs from holy writ,” that, while they consume so large a portion of the pro ducts of our planters, they neither demand or receive any advance from the said planters on the manufuctured article, over and above what would be paid to foreigners, whether the cotton was of American product or not: but furnish them with cotton goods at such redu ced prices. The progress of the cultivation of cotton in the United States, is, every way, wonderful If any person had predicted, thirty five years ago, that the crop of 1326 would have amounted to 720,000 hales, or about 250 mill millions of pounds, we should have put him down for a madman or a fool —saying “go to the hospital, go:” if any one had asserted only fifteen years ago, that North-Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, &.C. should now produce what they do, we could not have believed him; if it had been said Only five years ago. that Virginia would cultivate and send into the market nearly 40,000 bales in 1826, we should have laughed at the proposition ; and it it had been suggested, that a crop of cotton should be made in Maryland the last year, many would have smiled atthe "notion.” llovv much further north the cultivation will go, no one will ven ture to assert; but Maryland, Delaware New- J rsey and Illinois and Missouri, and perhaps, other states, may v<tv possibly, furnish con siderable supplies of cotton; and Arkansas and Fb rida will certainly cultivate the plant as ext nsively as it is cultivated any where, if profitabl . The cotton producing region ol the United Statesthus produces a vast tract of land—capable, in itself, if cultivated as it ea sily may be, sufficient to supply the whole world with that valuable commodity. Ofthis, and of the progress of its cultivation, the planters -houlu take most serious notice. E gypt is pouring cut new and large supplies for the European market, and that country and Grot ce, md the Greek islands, are capable in themselves, of supplying all Europe—and pro bably will do it, should the latter be eman cipated and have peace- Labor is much cheaper in those countries than in our south ern states. A freeman muy be hired for a lit- tle more than the annual interest on the money vested in the person of a slave in this country; and it is cost of labour and subsistence, with the requisitions of government, that must for ever establish the comparative prices of com modities, not confined to the production of peculiar climates. The immense island, or continent, of N w Holland, also begins lotur nisli supplies—and the land on this globe fil te l to the growth of cotton, is competent to furnish a thousand lime* more than its people can consume; and besides, the cotton of many countries (except as to the small quantity of "sea-island” which we raise) is better than our own. It is impossible then, that we can have a>.d preserve a “monopoly” in the production or sale of this staple Our cultivation has al ready passed beyond the profitable demand. — The crop of 1826, compared with that of 1825. shews an inen ase of 150,000 bales, or more th in one fourth of the whole quantity produ ced in 1825! Can this increase continue 7 No; no—no—indeed, no ! Cotton first began to be raised in 1789 or 1890, except as a garden product. In 1791, w<- exported 189,316 lbs. 1,601,000 in 1794, 20,911 000 in 1801, a part ol which was of foreign growth, for it was not till 1802 that a discrimination was made as to its origin. And out of these small beginnings w have risen up to the production of 250 millions of pounds in 1826 The quantity and value of cotton ex ported has exceedingly fluctuated, and the remarks which are applied above to tobacco are also applicable to it, respecting scarcity and supply. The following items are inter- esting : Cotton Exported. Years. Pounds. Value—s 1791 189,000 1796 6,100,000 1800 17 789,000 1102 27,501,000 5,250.000 1807 66,212,000 14,932,000 1 10 93,874,000 15,108,000 <lßls 82 998,000 17 529,000 \ 1816 81,747,000 24,106,000 ( 1; 19 87997,000 21,031,000 £ 1820 127,860,000 22,308,000 ( 1823 173,723,000 20,445,000 ( 1824 142,369 000 21,947,000 The years connected with a brace an I several other pairs of years that might b< offered from the table, sin vv that quantity anil Value have no certain relation one with the other 1 87 millions of pounds,exported in 1819, were nearly as valuable as 127 millions in 1820; and 173 millions in 1823; produced 1,500 000 dollars than 142 millions in 1824. These facts certainly shew that the foreign iemand may be exceeded—or rather that excess quantity cannot be sold except at a reduced price. Tne whole crop of 1826 is estimated at 720,027 hales. 1825 560,249 Imrease in one year 150,778 Os the 720,000 hales, we suppose that about 1; 5,000 will he consumed in the United States, and ttiat 185 millious of pounds may be left for exportation, if the foreign market will re ce.ve it; but when the annual commercial ta bles are published from the depart ment, we shall be able to speak more fully on * V Commercial letter fiom Lima, dated Oct. 1, 1926, »>ys •* Our uublciuhed 3-4 unu 7-S .ionic stica nle gain j r - i and here daily, an iin all case* preferred to Log- In;.

It is well known that our own manufacturers were the chief purchas ers in the early part of last season. We may expect that they will require 400,000 bales, in from six to ten years, unless destroye 1 by some suicidal policy. When they shall reach that quantity, about 150,000 bales, will be made into goods for th3 foreign market ; for it is just as certain to our mind as anv almost every other future event can be, that the British manufacture of cotton must de cline, and many people will depend upon this, instead of that country, for their supplies of cotton goods. Some of the reasons for this belief we set forth in the article published in the Register of the 27th January, ult * Let us however look to the present only. Can any one fail to suppose that the domestic de mand for one fourth of the whole quantity pro duced, has no effect on the price ? We think that every reflecting calculating merchant or dealer, every one who has thought of what belongs to scarcity and supply, production and demand, would estimate this demand as equal to 10, 15 or 20 per cent advance. Indeed, the price of cotton exported in 1822, 1823 and 1824 shews this—tor in these years our manu facturers were exceedeilingly depressed and many of them absolutely ruined. Stop their mills and looms, now, and cotton, if worth 8 cents, would tumble down to 6; and the (trice of cotton goods would as suddenly rise at the same or a greater ratio, and thus make a dou ble loss to the American people, and a doubl< gain to foreigners. No business-man will con test the principle of this proposition—it rests upon the natural and unavoidable rules of trade, and is applicable to all sorts of commodities. But admit that the present domestic demand has effect to raise the price of cotton only hali a cent per lb, or five per cent, on its value, and this we think that the most obstinate and reso lutely blind opponent of theta, iff will be com pelledto allow as being very reasonable; then, if the crop be 250 millions of pounds, the gain to the planters, because ofthis demand, is collccted—for it will he referred to below These results, simple as they are, will not fail to excite surprise in many persons ‘Who would have thought it ?” But such is the re sult of almost every investigation, or compari son, of things at home with things abroad J_.et us usefully shew this, in a case that is exactly in point. If the importation of the U. States amount to 75 or 80 millions, (which may be taken as an avarage official value of them,) the woollen, cotton, flaxen and hempen good-, including all manufactured articles of these, used for the clothing of persons, and for all family or other purposes in which such goods are required, will make up 21 o r 22 millions of the amount. Now, if these cloths and cassi meres, worsted and stuffs, blankets and ruggs cotton and piece goods, printed, coloured or white, nankeens, woollen and c tton hose, flax en and hempen goods—worth in the whole 22 millions of dollars, be divided among the peo ple of the United States, each person might recieve almost two dollars worth of such good in a year —some of which, however are not consumed, being exported. Who cannot ‘draw an inference” from this?—that our peo ple would be “clothed in nakedness," it they depended on the foreign supply? The proba ble value of such goods consumed cannot be less in the whole, than 120 millions, which is about ten doilars only for every person, includ ing what i required for family and other pur poses, never excepting cotton bagging ! ! P>u! such is the effect of scarcity and supply, as before several times alluded to, that the small value imported interferes with the whole quantity consumed—and ten millions wort;> tnrown into the market over the amount of the needful supply, will effect that supply more than ten millions, extra, are worth in thorn elves, and paralyze the whole business. ‘ Ev ery good rule works both ways”—if this for eign excess in articles manufactured produces such imposing effects on ourselves, what would be the state of the Europear, market for our cotton, if we exported one fourth more than wc now do? Let cotton planters calculate it! Again, and further to demonstrate this opera tion, and shew the importance of activity in the market—when the late news arrrived as to th transportation of British troops ,o Portugal, flour momentarily advanced one dollar per barrel. Now, we could not expect to senrhto Portugal more than 2 or 3(X),000 barrels, ii the present year, under any circumstances The difference of value have been only 300,000 dollars; but that difference might have effec;- ed the whole value of the bread-stuffs in all the United States—the annual consumntion of which, we are morally certain, is equal to 30 000,000 bids, of flour; so there would have been a generally increas and value on every bar rel of flour or bushel of grain which yet re maned ini the United States for consumption, had the rise caused by the expected demand in Portugal been maintained, which was only m the sum of 300,000! “He that runs may read” and understand this ; no proposition in Euclid is more capable of unerring solution And who would regret this advance in price to th farmers? Supposing they consume one half of all which they produce, it would have added several millions to the circulating medi um ol the country, and every man, because of the increased facility w ith which he might ob tain money, would very gladly pay his own ad vance on the cost of a barrel of flour. The cash would all be among ourselves—not a cent would he lost by it. For our own part, we are perfectly satistied that wc can well afford to pay 10 dollars for a barrel of tlcur (that being the common selling price,) better than live, & fifty cents per lb. for the cotton used in the goods which we purchase better than ten un less the appreciated prices shall grow out ol actual scarcity in the domestic production.— either would make money “plenty,'' and, in the general stir of it, we should pick upextra sums, * ft c have since met with he following from a Lon don pap. r, which is nol let j applicable lo tne relation iri which Ki gland stands to our country than to France. Mr. Mocdomell in hta “ treatise on Free Trade,” gives a comparative r late mint of the t*|K ndilore of u London mechanic, wtlh a wife and four children, and that ol a Parisian mechanic with the s»me family. Ttiat of the one be catenates at 7S I. per anuum, and of the latter at i / I0». Os the excess of esp, nditur. in ’b*- esse of the L igluli labourer, (vir. tit.

And thus it is with every person engaged in business. Our draymen would he glad of it, and make a large profit out of such a state of things. ■ But further; we assert, and Q&- appeal to the documents* that the whole value of all the woollen, cotton, flaxen, or hempen goods, imported, and of all the mixtures of them, of all sorts, sizes, shapes colors ; from the dimensions of the finest thread to carpets of many yards wide, has an avarage annual value of about twenty-two millions a year. Well—by the census of 1820 there were, say 8,000,000 of the people and 10,000,000 persons in the United States. We shall, however, use the latter number to avoid the shadow of of fence on any accout whatever. The whole pop ulation of the cotton growing states and dis tricts (without reference to the amount of per sons employed in the cultivatian of the plant.) may be thus roughly shewn: Oneeighth of Virginia 133,000 On fourth of N. Carolina 160,000 All South Carolina 490,000 . j All Georgia 340,000 All Alabama 127,000 All Louisiana 153,000 All Mississippi 75,000 Half Tennessee 221,000 1,699,000 “ All told” 1,700,000 persons, or 1,000,000 of the people of the United States. Now let us suppose that the duties levied on the goods, above described are really (yes really) paid to the amount of thirty per cant, on the reported cost, and it will appear that the whole revenue divided from them may he 6,600,000 dollars ; and then, if we admit the 1,700,000 persous to pav their full and equitable share of the whole, (which is admitted only for the sake of the ar gument, for slaves are not made to contribute through their masters, as free men do,) we have 1,122,000 dollars paid by the cotton growing states and districts, on all the goods above described! and if we rllow that one fourth ofthe duties collected is more for the protection ofour manufactures than the gene ral revenue of the goverment, the amount will be 280*500 dollars a year, one fourth only of the increased value on cotton because ofthe tariff, at the exceedingly moderate rate sup posesed above, and one fifth only of what Lou isana directly and certainly obtain on her sugar, through the tariff—“the accursed tariff”—or an eighth part of th duties paid on that arti cle imported and consumed by the people of the United States, which is about $2,280,000 and would be $3,600,000 were not the sugar ofthe state just named duty free! Who is not surprised at these results? The suj ct might he further pursued, and we shall probably here after publish a statement to shew the opera tionof the new tariff, and the extra amount ap parently paid under it, on all sorts of articles. It will amount to a small sum, indeed; but the reality is, taking all the articles together, that those which have been protected are cheaper because of that protection. So much for the law which an *’ honorable gentleman” iri hi* place in congress, swore " by Heaven, Georgia would never submit to.” {To be concluded in our next.) * Referrining'to those nf 1323—the year preceding the adoption of the presen. tariff. FOREIGN. Letter from Dr. Howe to a gentleman in this vicinity, twenty-five days later than that which was published last week. Steat-ship Kateria, Syra, Dec. 18 1826. Sir —My last was from Samos, dated Nov. 22 This vessel having been left there, to cruise about for some days, after performing this, without falling in with any enemy, re turned here, on the 15th, and 1 am now able to inform you of many things, of which I was then ignorant, or which have occurred since Athens holds out and will hold out ; the rainy Reason has commenced, and must everyday make the situation of the enemy worse. The j garrison are well supplied with all necessaries, |and we are under no apprehension for the place. Cutuckis Pasha met with a severe loss the other day, in an affair with Karraskai kas. This commander as I informed you, had changed his plan from that of openly attack ing the enemy upon the plain of Athens, to that of cutting off his supplies from a dis tance. He had taken a post lor this purpose, when a body of 1500 Turks, sent out by Cu tuckis, had advanced almost to Salona. He followed them up, attacked them in a defile, kdled eight hundred, 'and forced the r main der to shut themselves up in a Venetian cha leau, almost without provisions ; and he now holds them in blockade. Ibrahim Pasha remains, with his remnant of an army, at Tripolizza, entirely inactive, and probably very weak ; though I learn with sorrow, that twenty transport vessels, laden with provisions and supplies, have arrived safely at Navarin. No troops however, have been brought him, and this confirms, what has been lor a long time suspected, that the Pasha oi Egypt is hardly in a state to support the troops he now has in the Morea much less to send fresh ones. The expedition of Colletti to Euboea has failed; hoping 1 to find the Turks oft their guard, he landed and attacked them. But it appears he was perfectly prepared for and ex pected ; they fought, the Turks beat them back and drove them on hoard their ships. Thus ends the expedition of Colletti; from which I had hoped sometfrug, for he is decid edly a man ol talent, and his plan was a good one; hut he was miserably supplied with loo crippled in means to enable a general to cxe ute a design wi h secrecy and despatcfi H,- failure wdl much diminish his influence, which until now, has been very great, especially over the Roumeliotes Col letii is a mad hard to fathom ; that he has talents, none can doubt: else how, without money, without tarnily influence, witnoul any striking military successes, could he have ri»eu Ironi the place of simple pbysici iii, to the enjoyment of an extraordinary influence, which he lias kept uiidimitu hed from the very commencement ol the revolution ? small number, are at Methina ; entirely de prived of the means of supporting this body, Government would have been obliged to aban don it, had it not been for French philanthropy, their committee having placed at the disposal of Col. Favier, thirty thousand francs per month. The conduct of the French people towards Greece has been really noble and gen erous; neither have the Germans nor Swiss been behind. The safety of the countrv now, as in the days of Theniistocles. lies in her wooden walls. Mistress of the sea, she is se cure upon the continent. This leads me to mention the arrival of the frigate built in A merica, and which has diffused jov among the Greeks. I learn that Miaulis has gone on board and taken her to A£gina, where the na tional Assembly is now sitting. How she will be disposed of 1 know- not yet ; the gen eral wish is. that she may be commanded and manned by Americans*—but this seems hard ly probable. Government have received let ters from Cochrane, dated Marseilles, where he is making arrangements with the European committees, for the purchase of a large cor vette of thirty two guns, built for the Pasha of Egypt, but which he has not the means of pay ing for. Lord Cochrane’s expedition is the sheet-anchor of Greece, <s* hope brightens now into certainty. Something will be done in the spring; the Greeks have already two of the most powerful vessels that swim, in their ser vice ; I speak of this one, and the sixty-four gun ship. More will probably arrive this win ter; and it they have been able, with their little fleet of merchant brigs, to meet with the Turkish line of battle ships, what may not be hoped from an equal force.—Give us the sea and Turkey may pour in upon us as many hordes as ever did Persia, and Greece will he as little harmed by them. In my next 1 hope to give you an account ot the operations of the National Assembly which have just been convened at yEgina. Meanwhile, l remain, Yours Sine rely S. G. HOWE. * The appearance of onr sqadron in the Archipelago, impressed upon the people a h: = b idea of our navy. Th' Greeks speak in rapture of the North-Carolina. Som old hydriote sailors, speaking of her. said “ ive never knew tvhat a ship was, before we went on board of her. and we have seen the ships of every nation in the world.” Whatever may heve been the policy of the govirnmcni, in sending so large a force up Uij Mediterranean, it has had at least the effect to heighten the reputation of our country in Europe. I see mucb.of the naval officers of all nations, and ean say tha‘ where our officers are best known, they are most esteemed, I remember, tin other day, to have heard some Brtish officers say, “Well, to tell the truth and shame the devil,” I see nothing in th< Yankee ships or men, inferior to ours. Then they ar° really gentlemen ! strange as it may appear, if I had not known them to be Jonathans, I should have taken them for John Bulls !!” From the Richmond Whig. England —The foreign news will command the attention ot the reader—there has been none so important since the battle of Water loo. The charge of ministry—the elevation of Canning and to the first places, to the government of the Empire—both ofob scure if not unknown parentage, proves that England is closely approximated in fact ofthe commonwealth—that the influence ol the com mons has completely prevailed over that ol the Nobility, proves more than this—that the situation ofEngland is so critical-her trade so much embarrassed, her manufacturers in so suffering a condition, and her finances by consequence, so much diminished, that tin prejudices ofthe throne itself, w re obliged t< yield to the force of circumstances, and con sent to the elevation of ihe popular favorite. Mr Canning, to th Premiership. George Canning the illcgitir a c son of a strolling m tresss, is King ofEngland in effect—the King de jure and de no mine, is George Guelph. Whatever cause the American people may have for dislik.ng Mr. Canning—a cause in some degree, removed hy his subsequent apol ogy on the Liverpool Hustings, and though their is no sufficient evidence, that the change of ministry, will lead to a change of the Eng lish colonial policy—yet as the friends of pop ular rights, and as the enemies of Aristocracy, the people of the United States have great cause of congratulation at the elevation of Mr Canning, His triumph is the triumph of the neople of England over the titled few, whose merit lies in their blood —of the Whigs over the Tories—of the popular branch ofthe con stitution over the Aristocratic—ofthe latant Republicanism which always existed in Eng land, which brought Charles I. to the block. It is not an ill founded hope, that the triumph of Mr. Canning will lead to the speedy eman cipation ofthe Catholics, and the restoration of oppressed and g< nerous Ireland, to human rights and that the temporising policy of his Predecessor will be exchanged for a firm and decided interference in behalf of Greece. In short, we hope a more glorious day has dawn ed upon England and the world. The following extract of a letter from Con stantinople (says the Boston Messenger) shows with what ease a Turkish court of inquiry can settle a doubtful question. “ On Friday last, the 23d. the Grand Seign ior having gone to perform his noonday prayers at the Mosque of the Bombardiers, two vessels of war, anchored in the neighborhood, saluted him as he passed. A ball, discharged from one of the cannon, happened to w undone of the row' rs of the boat which followed imme diately behind that of 'he Sultan. The event gave rise to many conjectures. It is r.ot known whether it was the result of accident or of a criminal intention. The captain of the vessel has been strangled with all his crew.” From France —The Greek steam vessel Perseverance had attacked the port of Pireus, and compelled the enemy to retire.
