In our p iper of the 8th ius;, we made a few remarks on the reported intention of Britain, France and Russia to divide Turkey in Europe and Africa between them; and stated, that its accomplishment would have “a mighty influence over the cffaiis of the United States, it: its effect upon our great staple, cotton”—without a lively foreign demand for which and a brisk internal trade, it will appear mani fest to every one, that our present com mercial relations with Europe must he dissolved. That staple deducted, the whole of onr exports to all the world, in the last year, was valued at only 28,000,- 000—say 22 millions, exclusive also of manufactures; bat our imports were £>0 millions ; and, taking cotton from the ex ports to Great Britain, only about .$4,- 500,000 worth of all other articles was , receive I to pay for goods costing 26 mil- > iions. Without cotton, the foreign trade the United States, as at present carried On, could not, by possibility, exist a single year : and a rsstriction would he imposed a thousand times more onerous than tho tariff is said to be by the most violent de- daimers against if. But it will he real, not fanciful—practical, and not in theory -—at our fire-sides, not in speculation ; a balance of trade'' not in figures, but in sheriff’s sales and depopulated districts. Wo are serious—rite subject is one of im posing magnitude, and calls loudly upon us all to “ look a-liead.” How soon that which ve anticipate will he accomplished, we.venture not an opinion—but that it will be accomplished, there is every rea son to believe. The crop of coUon last year has been estimated at, 950,000 biles, that ot die present a* 1,000,00,—sav 350,000,000 pounds. A udghtv quantity’ indeed: of which about 280 oillions wd! he for the supply of the European markets. Now if seems that a field-hand will produce 1,200 lbs. of cotton—or an entire force of 80 slaves, of all ages and conditions, 60,000, besides s ipplving themselves with provisions. The number of persons then, to supply the 280 millions, after fading themselves, will at unr only to 370,000; and Mi. Darby tolls 'is that an acre of more than 200,000 bales ’ aod the pro- ; may find an ample market for their bread ducts of Tennessee, Louisiana and Missis- ! stuffs, by the aid of canals and rail ways sippi have beep doubled in a few years.— j that each section of our beloved country may mutually contribute to the comforts of the others ; and extirpate entirely those unhallowed jealousies, whieh, at present, stalk so largely among us. I firmly be lieve this is the aim of vour paper, atn^ desire of your heart; and you will dou|)t 4 less be rewarded by the plaudits of thou sands of our test citizens, while hundreds and thousands of our mushroom politi cians, who have grown to an enormous size in the day, will sink into their origi nal insignificance.” Another letter received from North Ca rolina, on Tuesday, forwarding the name of a new subscriber, says— It was unknown ns an article of commerce of any importance to Egypt until 1824, when about 40 millions of pounds were exported from Alexandria, and the crop of 1825 was much larger. These things are mentioned to shew the easy transition that is made from other products to that of supplying cotton. It mav, apparently be tendered die chief product of agricul ture, or export in two or three years, wherever the climate is suited to it, and laborers are to be obtained. The population of Egypt ’.s about 2,- 500,000 ; and there is enough land, not subject to frost or liable to too much or too little rain. A detachment nt one-fifth of the population of this country to the cultivation of cotton, would afford a supply equal to our whole production, after fur nishing the cultivators with provisions. The gross population of Greece and the islands was, at the commencement of tiie revolution, about 1,400,000. This includes but a small part of the continent, except the Mo re a. Candia contained 120,000, the rich island of Scio 110,000, | (his extract.] Among our opponents, are viouf; ' "and having particifHftteif in th'e sunny calm, the halcgon hour of the esta blishment, we depart before the unreal and transitory delusion is dispersed, and leave the husband to contemplate the less brilliant changes of the lady’s countenance and temper, and to maintain a single com bat agaiset the boisterous perversities of her offspring.

But the land actually implied lo the cultivation would he only 1,100,000 acres—a district less than the small state .if Delaware ; and it is estimated that nor less than 6,000.000 acres favorable tc- the rultiva- ti'on of the plant, are within the limits-of Louisiana only. The en'jre enrton-grow- ing region in the .Untied States may be put down as follows :— * Square -miles. Parts of \ irg’mia <fc N. Carolina, -50,000 1 S. Carolina, Georgia. Alabama, Mississippi & Louisiana, 230.000 i Half Tennesse, 20.0^0 1 Arkansas and Florida, 180,0.00 r 430,000 It is also grown in Missouri, Illinois ami Indiana ; and certain experiments have succeeded very well in Maryland. . We do not pretend to estimate the vast quantity of land within this vast region of country, as fitted for the actual pi eduction of cotton. Mr. Dailiv, however, tells ns .that of the 23, 80,000 of land in Louisi ana, (the swamps,-rivers, lakes, &c. de ducted from the whole contents,) there are 5,900,000 acres capable of being ad vantageously cultivated i i cotton, tobacco or indigo. Now-that quantity really culti vated, and voiding 250 lhs. to the acre, would produce/bar millions of bales! But t > leave these vast amounts and de scend lo accepted ficts or reasonable pos sibilities. Let us sav that our whole pro duct is 100.0,00 bales, or 350.000,000 pounds, that an acre will yield only- 200 pounds, and allow 750 pounds for each person on a plantation, after supplying themselves with food, and we have— 1,750,000 acres actually employed, and requiring a gross population of less than 500,000 persons—being considerably less than mie third of the slaves in the United 'States. These are. sober results, unless all who have written upon the subject, (being per sons who ought to understand it,) are in correct ; but we apprehend that a planter with 80 slaves, old and young, would do a bad business if not raising 60,000 pounds of cotton a year ; that such product would affords small profit, for capital employed in slaves and land, after paying all inciden tal expenses belonging to both, and those on the crop before it would arrive at this market. The progress of the cultivation of cot ton is wonderfully rapid. Our exports shew this— In 1805 we exported 87,000,000 lbs. 1316 * 81,000,000 1826 £04.000,000 ’ The crops are thus estimated— 1824- 5 569,000 1825- 6 720,000 IS26-7 957,000 A little while ago, a brief period, in deed, and V irgiuia and Alabama produced ito cotton for market—cow they send oat Samos 20,000, 6c c. government, this popu been at b?ast t not then very Scio, Samos, support from 6 to S00,000 ; and would, if under ihe dominion of France. They would rally to them the Greeks scattered through Asia, and tens of thousands of Frenchmen would take up their abode in then>. The Moroa itself and the Elands, which together contained about a million of people, according to a l it* 1 estimate, might soon supply as much cotton ns we in the United States have exported. The Turkish empire in Europe, independent ^af the parts of Greece named, is many times more extensive, and great crops of cotton may be raise i in Macedonia. Epi rus, Albania, Ac. in which it has been cultivated for centuries. It is not very long since that 120,000 bales, worth 80 piasters each, were exported from the j valley of Seres in Macedonia, chiefly by ! way ofSalonica : besides, large quantities j were manufactured in the city of Seres, j famous for its supplies of cotton goods.— i Cyprus is 150 miles long and 70 broad— was once very populous, and has long been celebrated for the excellency of its cotton. And it should be recollected, that the chief supplies of cotton were obtained from these countries, before the recently extended cultivation in the y. States and Brazil, &c. In addition to all these considerations there is another yet more important. The average annual price of labor in Greece and Egvpt, hardly exceeds the interest on capital vested in slaves in the United States, and subsistence is much cheaper. It is no matter, and lias but a small bearing upon the facts presented, whether the reported design of the hree powers to partition T nr key is prematurely stated or altogether erroneous. Every one we think, must see that the present condition of Turkey cannot la-4 long; audit is known that an interference is made'to pre vent the pacification of Greece, aftc- the manner of Mussulmans, by exterminating, the people! The state of tilings will be changed, and more security for persons and property than heretofore given, will be obtained—then will the husbandman return to his field, and one of the rciiest countries in the world throw out the exu berance for the common market of the world. We are protected against tbs in flux of East India cotton by distance and the uncertainty of the price ofthe article. What has ruined thousands of our plan ters and dealers, was ilie cause demand, fan our commodity ; but Greece, is ns it were, a near neighbor to France, and ad vices may pass from England to the La- van' in a few days. And further, the East India article isnot generally so good for it is established beyond a doubt, that we single persons enjoy the cream and quintessence of matrimonial felicity, and that wives and husbands possess a painful monopoly of its tumults and distractions— its anxieties and its restraints. Then a- again with regard to home, I dont believe that any individual in existence knows we our selves may unknowingly be.

That Btitish a- gents have interfered to arrest the accom plishment of the “ American System,” and to a great extent, we believe with as mu di sincerity as'that there are countries called tGreat Britain and France. We also believe that a large part ot the pre sent excitement against the tariff grows out of time-serving politicians—to influ ence the feelings and mislead the judg ment; and it is this lo which both our cor respondents allude. Unhappily, there 1 passed along my mind, on_ the alternoon eye—the careless luxury resulting from an exclusive appropriation of all the con venience of the apartment—No man can be really chez soi—can be in the full en joyment of all the accommodation afford ed by bis own house, and fireside, and furniture, and presume to exercise the prominent excelencies of her character, and for other purposes.

Such were the reflections that hastily are men wno, to obtain a favorite object, would cry “ havoc and lot slip the dogs of war,” and dissolve this union rather than not rule it. These must be resisted—but truth will be victorious without violence; and, though the will of the majority may he again defeated by management in con gress, success must attend the efforts now making to force reciprocity upon the old world, and so consummate the indepen dence of the United States. B VCIIELOR’S REVERIES. The evening of Thursday, 15th of Feb. 1827, was one of the most delightful I ev er remember to have spent. I was alone, my heart beat lightly; my pulse was quick ened by the exercise of the morning; mv blood flowed freely through my veins, as meeting with no checks or impediments to its current, and my spirits were elated bv a multitude of happy remembrances and of brilliant hopes. My apartment looked delightfully comfortable, and what signified to me the inclemency of the wea ther without? The rain was nattering up on the skv-light of the stair-case; the sharp east win 1 was moaning angrily in the chimney ; but as mv eve glanced from the cheerful blaze of the fire to' the ample folds of my closed window curtains—a« the hearth t ug yielded to the pressure of my foot, while beating time to my own music, I sung, in rather a louder tone than usual, my favorite air nO’Jud.y O'Fla n- egan"—the whis'lmg of die wind, and the pattering of the rain, only served to en hance i:i my estimation 'he comforts of cay home, and inspire a livelier sense of die good fortune which bad delivered me from any evening engagements. It may be questioned wbeihei there are any hours in this life, of such unmixed enjoyments, as the few, the very few, which a young bachelor : s allowed to rescue from the pressing invitations of those dear friends who want another talking man at the din- as our’s—butthat of the Levant is general ly better.

Brit- • teis, which, from time to time, occur to ain, refusing our bread stuffs, will take our I recollection between the break of tho >f Thursday, the 15th of February, 1827, as I sat with a volume ofthe Tor Hill in mv hand, in the back drawing room of my lodgings in Conduit street. It was about ten o’clock in the afternoon. Mv dinner wasjust removed. It had left me with that gay complacency of disposition, and irrepressible propensity to elocution, which result from satisfied appetite and undisturbed digestion. Mv sense of con tentment became more and more vigorous and confirmed, as I cast my eye around my apartment, and contemplated my well filled book-case, and the many articles of convenience with which I had contrived to accommodate my nest; till, at length, the emotions of satisfaction became too strong to be restrained within the bounds of silence, and announced themselves in the following soliloquy:— “What capital coals these are! There’s nothing in the world so cheering—so en livening—as good hot, blazingsea coal fire. I broke a large lump into fragments with the poker as I spoke. “It’s all mighty fine,”I continued,’’for travellers to har angue the ignorant on the beauty of for eign cities, on their buildings without dust, and their skies without a cloud ; but for my own part, I like to see a d irk, thick, heavy atmosphere hanging over a town. It forewarns the traveller of his approach to the habitations, the business, and the comforts ofliis civilized fellow creatures. It gives an air of grandeur, and impor tance, and mystery to the scene—it con ciliates our respect—we know there must be some fire where there is so much smo ther. While in those bright, shining, smokeless cities, whenever the sun shines upon them, one’s eyes are put out by the glare of their white walls; and when it does not shine—why, in the winter, there’s j no resource left the man hut shivering and hopeless resignation, with their wide, windy chimnies, and their damp, crack ing, hissing, sputtering, tantalizing faggots. It has frequently been remarked, that pious womon are not more numerous, but more pious men. How infinitely superior are her charms to all the facinations of beauty, all the splendors of external accomplishment, and all the delicious j of tfaat object }s al stak it puttelh away joys of giddy dissipation? Ilow invalua- i f , i„ i_ r . bio does such a woman appear, odorned and dignified, not only by all that earth can give, but decked in the robes of that piety and loveliness which earth can nei ther give nor take away.
