C. \ IJLNJIP. * Agricultural and Commet'cial—^o. 9, We approach the 5th and last class of the Products tnr Aqihccltork: a soft of miscellaneous group, which ■comprehends a variety of products—such as flax, flax seed, hemp, indigo, Wax, poultry, sugar, &.c. &c. None of these Can well be styled the staple of any par ticular state; for, though they flourish in certain states, they do not abound in any, nor constitute any consi derable proportion of the exports of the United States. The principal of these articles have been Jlax-seed and indigo —but, those which seem to promise the most im portant results, are sugar and hemp. Flax—But a small proportion of this article is export ed from the United States. Our lands are turned to bet ter account; and the preparation of the raw material re quires more skill and labor than we are willing to em ploy. Very little of the plant is cultivated even for our own consumption of the fibre. The principal object with us is to gather the seed for the foreign market. Flax-seed—is sent to Ireland, principally to be sown in her fields. The plant is there cut for the sake of the fibre—too little is left to supply the cultivator with seed; and hence, be looks to other countries for a consi derable portion of the article wanted. The seed is also used for crushingdnto that oil, so much employed in the arts, called linseed oil. [Linnm is the Latin for flax.) As fur back as the year 1770, as much as 312,612 bush els of seed were exported from the colonies of North- America; “6780 of which went to England, 305,083 to Ireland, and 749 to the south of Europe.” The custom house value of it was then about §139,000. The quantity exported has scarce ever been greater than it was in 1770, though the nominal value has scarce •ever been so low. The follow ing is a view of the ex ports from 1803 to 1814. Bushels.

It is steeped, and macerated and squeezed, to yield that beautiful blue dye which imports its tints to'such a variety of fabrics. “It was one of the principal articles of produce and ex port from So ith-Cqrolina and Georgia, before the plant mg of cotton in those states became an object of so much importance.” It was introduced into South-Carolina, about the year -1741 or ’42. Cores has been made a Goddess for the dis covery of wheat—a monument should be erected to a lady for the introduction of this valuable vegetable into the soil of Carolina. Dr. Ramsey has traced its journey from the east to the west. “The second great staple of Carolina, (says he) was Indigo. Its original native country was Hindostan; hut it had been naturalized in the VVest-Indies, from WBirWWWBUU.ll IIU1LI!UIJI1| In the^d place, the projects of which it was introduced into Carolina by Miss Eliza Lu cas, the mother of major-general Charles Cotesworth Pinckney. Her father, George Lucas, governor of An tigua, observing her fondness for the vegetable world, "frequently sent to her tropical seeds and fruits, to be planted for her amusement on his plantation at W'.ippoo. Among_otiiers, he sent her some indig-o seed as a subject of experiment.” She planted it in March, 1741 or ’42. The first time it was nipped by the frost; the second, cut down by a Worm. But perseverance overcame every obstacle, and the tiiird experiment was successful. Her father then t ^ A‘..;stxtim- thfem under the 6ve following classes, viz. ■ list. Vegetable food; 2d. The products ofanimals; 3d. Tobacco; 4th. Cotton;—and 5th. A miscellaneous group of subordinate articles, as flax, flax-seed, hemp, sugar, indigo* &.C. See. And what is the result? The same old proposition with which we started— That each section of the United State - has its staple—The East has lumber and ashes, and fis —the Middle States, their grains—Maryland arid Vir ginia, tobaccoes and Wheat—North Carolina, naval stores and lumbej—South Carolina and Georgia, cotton, rice andindigo—-Louisiana and Georgia sugar—and the West, a variety of articles from their crudest to their refined state. Of these, Louisiana, Georgia, South-Carolina, Virgin!. and die West, are biessed with the riches staples—staph s which are in demand, and which cannot be so easily sup plied from other quarters, from their requiring a pecu • liarity of sun and soil to raise them. In these States, therefore manufactures and navigation are not so apt to flourish. The West, however, may prove an exception —manufactures may go to a considerable extent among them, because they are so much farther from the sea and the work-shops of Europe—and it is more difficult and expensive for them to import foreign goods for their own consumption. Those other States, which do not abound in the richest staples, must necessarily be driven to other sources of wealth—to navigation and to manufactures—to shipping or to working up the raw staples of the producing' states. Thus, it is strange, but true, that the interests of Mas sachusetts and Kentucky should be the s..mt, as to ma nufactures—Massachusetts must cultivate them from tne want of adequate staples of her own, and Kentucky, from her remote distance from the foreign market. It was, thus, a singular spectacle to behold, during the last ses sion of Congress, the same co-operation of interests, the same anxiety' to extend the r..tes of the tar.it on certain articles, the same attachment lo high duties on imported cotton stuffs. Nor is it difficult to see, that new combinations of policy must spring up from this diversity of interests. The con test, wnich has so long raged in ti.e old world, between manufactures and agriculture, the interest that raises the raw material and that which manufacturer it will be felt in America. The East will strive to get us much for her goods as she can—the South to get such goods >s cheap as she can. The East will cry up for high duties on such goods of foreign manufactures-—The Sou'll will attempt ■ o keep down the rates of such duties. The East will wish to supply us herself, and pretty much at her own prices—The South will wish to have the privilege of get ting these goods at foreign markets, without being bur dened with exorbitant duties on their importation. This struggle has been already witnessed—it was seen during the late discussions of the tariff. It will, perhaps, be seen at every attempt to change the rates of Uie tariff. The manufactures which had already progressed, under the wing of the double duties, with a promise of their con tinuance, and under the cheering patronage of public sentiment, were to a certain extent entitled to the pro tection of the government. Much capital had been in vested in the .;; many workman, devoted to their pursuit; and both classes had right to expect, that the hand of government should not be too suddenly withdrawn from under them. On the other hand, the south, while it paid this degree of respect to manufactures, had a right to except a cer tain degree of attention being paid to its own interests. It urged with very great force, “that a high duty, impos ed for the purpose, not f raising a revenue, but ad encour aging a man facture, went counter to the old maxim of political economy 7 , that trade and Labor should be left to themselves; iliac each individual was a better judge of his own interests than the government could be; and that the interest of the whole country was only another name for ■J* We the interest of all the individuals in it; and that, therefore, sent her from Montserrat a man by the name of Cromwell, 1 there was no surer test of what was for the good of the to instruct his daughter in the process of extracting the j whole, th„n wh.tt each individual thought it best to do for dye from the weed. Vats were built on Wappoo creek, j himself-—that he might indeed mistake his interests, but and the first indigo was there made which was formed that the government was more likely to misunderstand in Carolina. “But Cromwell repented of his engage- them, or be misled by design:—that although some res- ment, as being likely to injure his own country; made a mystery of the business, and, with the iiope of deceiving, injured the process by throwing in too much lime. Miss Lucas watched nim carefully, and also engaged Mr. De- veaux to superintend'his operations. Notwithstanding the duplicity of Cromwell, a knowiedgeof the process was obtained. Soon after Miss L. had completely suc ceeded in this useful project, she married Charles Pinck ney; and her father made a present of ail the indigo on his plantation, the fruit of her industry, to her husband. The whole was savfol for seed. Part was planted by the proprietor nexty r ear at Ashapoo, and the remainder given away to his friends in small quantities, for the same pur pose. They all succeeded. From that time, the culture of indigo was common, and in a year or two, it became an article of export.” A premium of 6d on the lb. was offered by Great-Bri- tain, to encourage the cultivation. “From November, 3760, to September, 1761, 399,366ibs were exported; and shortly before the American revolution, the exports amounted to l,107,660lbs. In 1794, as much as 1,558,080 lbs were exported from the United States. But since the extension of the cotton sy 7 stem in the south, the pro duction of indigo lias been more neglected. Sugar—which has only been a product of the United States since the acquisition ofLouisiana, and has only very lateiy crept by inches into the state of Georgia, is destin ed to find its place among our list of exports. Historians are divided about the introduction of the cane into Ame rica. “The ancient name of the cane, (says Bryan Ed wards) was Saccharum. The word was corrupted in monkish Latin, into Zacharum, and afterwards into Zu- cra. By the Spanish, it was converted into Acucar, from whence Sugar.” The cane was certainly known in the east, from whence sugar was brought at a very eariv pe riod by the Red Sea into Europe. The plant itself was transported into the Isles of Rhodes and Malta, thence to Sicily, thence to the Azores, and other Atlantic Isles, from some of which it is said to have been transplanted into the new world. Others contend that it was found here among the Charibs of Guadaloupe, on the banks of the Plate, and at the mouth of the Mississippi. In many of the Isles of the Pacific Ocean, it was certainly found b*v Cook. Bryan Edwards seems to think there is no con tradiction between these accounts: that the cane did grow spontaneously in the new world, but Columbus not knowing it, had carried some of the plants to Hispanio la.- Prom the west-indies, it has found its way to the con tinent of North-America—and what is equally pleasing and proud tidings to an American ear, it flourishes on the banks of the Mississippi and the soil of Georgia. A finer and better' granulated sugar is no where to be found than the New-Orleans sugar. No quarter of the union boasts of a richer staple—though the culture has been confined to a small slip on foe margin of the Mississippi, yet later experiments seem to demonstrate the probability of carrying it into a higher latitude and in a more ex tensive region. It is certainly striking its root into the state of Georgia. Our soil may not be as genial as that ofthe West-Indies, yet we have some advantages on our part. 1st. The superior skill and intelligence of our far mers, who till their own lands, widiout. trusting so much to the superintendance of overseers or agents, as they do in the West-Indies: 2d. Our timber for boiling and cop pering, is cheaper and on the spot: 3d. Our lands are fresh, and not so much worn out—therefore, do not re quire so much expense of manure. But we have not returns before us to estimate the quantities of this beautiful product, which we export or produce. Hemp—already flourishes in some of the back parts of Virginia—and the western states. As we know better how to prepare it, and as we clear our moist vallies to the west, as well as open their communications with tide wa ter, it is an article which the demand of our own navy as well as of others, must tend to encourage. But we have no regular accounts of the quantity exported from foe United States^—nor of the other articles which are enu merated at the head of this essay. SKETCHES. &c —-No. 10. We have thus traced qiir wav through all the staples exported from the United States. We have analyzed, in foe first place, the products ofthe Seas.- shewing the quantity of each article annual ly export ed, their value, and the States which principally export them: pect was due to the capitalists who hud riske'd their for tunes in foe establishment of manufactures, and that, du ties to a certain amount might be laid on foreign goods for a certain period, yet, that it should be recollected, foe inhabitants ofthe South were in the mean time foe suf ferers; they were paying money out of their own pockets as a premium to the domestic manufacturer; they were paying more for cloths, and of an inferior quality, than what thev co Id readily purchase in foreign markets.” The tariff is now, however adopted—let experience de cide upon it! It' it be too high, it should be reduced: if not too high, it will be unchanged. A short time will de cide, better than the theory of a whole century. In our next sketch, we shall present a view of the Ma nufactures of tiie United States as far as they enter into our list of exports. SKETCHES, &c.—No 11. We have promised a list of exports of American manu factures. But the work is already done to our hand—the foe statistics of Mr Pitkin contain so full a statement, that no room is left for invention. We beg leave to add to our obligations to a work, to which we have been so much indebted in the course of these sketches. M YNUFAOTURES. Manufactured articles constitute a part of the domestic exports of the United States. The manufactures ex ported are— 1st. from domestic materials. 2d. from foreign materials.

In the course of it, we have traced the staples of the United States—the amount of their exports—and the par ticular states where they are found most abundant. We have traced the tendency of such states, as do not boast ,;.f staples, to enlist in schemes of manufacture—and we tiave closed the prospect by an exhibit of the amount of domestic manufactures, which we have been in the habit of exporting. It is unnecessary to add, that every year may be expected to swell this last item of our exports. \Ve have now only to subjoin from Mr. Pitkin’s Work, “a table exhibiting the value of the produce of the sea, of the forest, of agriculture, and of manufactures export ed, for each year, from 1803 to 1814, bv which foe pro portion of each Can be at once, seen, during that period.’’ the paternal tnresnoia ana woe to the nocturnal riors of I-a Vdndee- v ' r , CO *—* t—* V—‘ ‘ o CtJ JS?3 CD t-Z Vn(X CCM DrVcia OC w Go >—i gc CD CT »- Ct fo wj cc O* -a *—* C ^2 O'. ►£* C Of S o'c o c* c. c o C- c. c c c ^ fec-COC-COCrCOOO- OOC-OOOCOOOOO 5 tallow, candles, leather, hoots, shoes, saddlery, hats; of grain, (as spirits, beer, starch, Sic.) of wood, (including furniture, coaches, &.c.) cordage, canvas, linseed oil, iron, and various other articles, such as snuff, silk shoes, wax-candles, tobacco, lead, bricks, turpentine, spirits, wool and cotton cards, &c.

For the year 1812, the whole value ofthe domestic exports, was 3u,052,lu9, of this, the value of the produce of agriculture, was §24,555,000, leaving but five and a half millions for foe rest: and in foe year ending October 1st, 1.113, about sixteen months from the commencement of the late war with Great Britain, the whole value of the domestic ex ports was §25,008,152; of this, the value of the produce of agriculture, was, §23,119,000, consisting, principally, of Hour and provisions, sent to the Peninsula; in foe year 1814, in consequence of the blockade of our coast, the whole exports of the United States, amounted only to §6,927,441, of which §6,782,272, was of domestic pro duce, wliich found its way, through certain ports, which, for a time, were not subject to foe blockade. CONTINUATION OF FOREIGN NEWS. Boston, July 15. We received, on Saturday, English and Dutch papers to the end of May. They announce no event of impor tance, and their details of minor events are not very in teresting. An article in the Leyden Journal, under the Florence date, mentions that, it was a condition of foe treaty made between foe two Sicilies and Algiers, that the for mer should pay an anuity of twenty four thousa nd dol lars, besides pav ing one thousand dollars each for tlie ransom of the prisoners to the number of one thousand one hundred and sixty who were found there. We men tion this because it is in direct contradiction to an article on the same subject which we quoted from a Leyden paper some days ago. It is added, that three hundred and fifty-seven Neapolitan prisoners had obtained then- release, and returned to their country. It is asserted that the Pontifical flag is put under the protection of A-.istria, by which means it escapes the tribute heretofore paid to the African regencies. Rome, Mat 7 12. Our relations with the house of Austria are for some time closely united, which w e attribute to the necessity of preserving' the Roman shores from foe Barbarians.— The powers of Italy have concluded with the African pirates treaties more or less humiliating; the court of Rome will withdraw itself from them. It is to be pre sumed that Austria will no more submit to them, and tiie English vessels will not be always here to protect our cbasls, so that we have great interest in forming close relations with Austria. We are assured that his holiness, to save the Italian people on the sea shore, will m. ke an appeal to all Christian princes; and it is said that several have serious ly assented to the necessity of repressing a system of rob bery so scandalous. Some people say, that there is an intention of colonizing Africa, by destroying the Barba ry powers, founding a kingdom in those countries, and acknowledging - for king'of the new monarchy the prince royal of Etruria, w hose knowledge exceeds his years.— The crown will be gurrantecd to iuin by the powers of Europe and foe grand seignor. The order-,of Malta will be re-established in Africa, and form a military order in the new kingdom; it will furnish officers for the army, enjoy its prerogatives as f.,r as they will be compatible w ith the new order of tilings; and it will become an integral part or' the state.— The African ports w ill be opened to the commerce of the European powers. Commerce and civilization will draw immense advantages from the execution of such a project. P uus. May 26. Almost all the German journals, fix the month of Ju ly next for the intorview, which they assure us is to take place at the baths of Toplitz, between the empe ror of Russia and Austria, and the king of Prussia. May 27. The general Vasco, whose arrest and transmission to Spain we lately 7 mentioned, and who was supposed by some to be general Mina, turns out to be a swindler.— lie called himself count' de Garcia, and was decorated with all foe Spanish orders. Nothing political was charged against him, and he has been merely sent to Spain to be punished as a criminal who has fled from jus tice. It is said that his royal highness the prince regent, has consented to deliver general Ameil, (who was arrested in Hanover) to the king of France. The prevotal court held its sittings yesterdav, when one Felix Beaudeon was brought before it, charged with having, on the 4fo April lust, at the moment when Mon- signeur the duke of Angouleme was entering his carriag-* used expressions tending to weaken the respect due to foe sacred person of his royal highness!—The court con demned him to t\^o years imprisonment, three hundred francs fine, five years surveilqpce, and the printing ot 200 copies of his sentence. May 7 28. The public opinion ymighs heavy on three distinguish ed personages of the revolution, who are suspected of being the secret contrivers and authors of the conspira cy which has lately manifested itself in this devoted country. This feeling is general, and their exile from foe metropolis deemed necessary, even by foe moderate royalists. The rumors to which I w 7 as alluding, their mystery and nature were of so powerful an influence, that they inconjestibly tended to one common end in this affair, the discordant interests of Orieanists, republicans, jaco bins, and patriots. “ M. Chateaubrian’s apprehensions of the mischief which would result from a renewal of the chamber by fifths, appear to be as lively as ever. “The counter-re’- volution” said he at M. Lobories, “is not at Grenoble, nor yet in the mountains of Dauphiny, nor yet in Nis- 11163 —it menaces us at Paris on the 18th of October, if foe renewal of the chamber should not be integral—if we should not retain our seats the five years and after—He continued in foe prophetic tone of Jeremiah—Woe to the provetal courts and the system of epuration—woe to Several of the Late partizans of Murat have been arn> ed at Urbjno by order of the Neapolitan go* eniment t* having attempted to raise a rebellion.

At Mous seven men have been condemned to death ; • having been concerned in the late rebellion, three ire were recommended to mercy, one to 20 years hard i,.b | another to 15 years, and several to five years imprison- ment each. An article from the Brussels Gazette, published in i London Journal, having mentioned tlie seizure of .. <•; age belonging to lord Byron in lieu ofthe purchase mi . of another carriage bought by foe noble lord at place, we have authority to state, that the difference ’ . tween the fact as represented in foe Gazette and the r- : transaction is this; that, instead of his lordship tilth . ing to defraud the coachmakcr of one thousand , it was the coachmaki r who unfairly procured froc. s lordship eight hundred by taking-that sum for a - i iy r wliich lord Byron was to try by a day’s journey to V. „ terioo.
