expose# 9t in the risk of embroil

KTl'HN ill ir thunks to their friends and
■ the public generally, for ihtrsupport given
i since opening in this city, amt beg to in-
j\f»»tpeltier, Dec. 1819.
I have receivcil Sir, the copy, of the ad
dress of the Society of Tammany, with
which I have been politely Mviireil.
The want of economy in the use of im
ported articles enters very justly info
life explanation given of the causes of the
present general embarrassments. Were
every one to live within his income, or
even the savings of the prudent ttiexcned
the deficits of the extravagant, the bal
ance in the foreign cuimnorce ofita na
tion could nut be against it. The want
of a due ecopumv has produced the unla-
vorablv turn, .which has been experienced.
Hence the need of specie to meet the' cull
nn the vaults of the hanks; and the dis-
rtuitimiance of their discounts, followed
by their curtailments: Hence tun the fail
ure of so many of the banks, with a di
minished confidence in others: And hence
finally, a superabundance of debts with
out tbe means of paying them.
The address seems very justly to charge
much of the general evil, bv which the
banks themselves have been overwhelm
ed, on the multiplicity of these Institu
tions, and a diffuaim: of the indiscrimi
nate loans of which’ they have been the
sources, it has beeti made a question,
whether lianhh,when restricted to spheres
in which temporary loans only are made
to persons in active business, promising
quick returns, dn nut as much harm to
imprudent, as good to prudent borrowers.
—But it can no lunger tie a doubt with
anv, that loan offices, carving to every
man’s door, and even courting the accep
tance of, the monied ineynS ol gratifying
his present wishes, under a prospect or
hope of procrastinated repayments, must
of all devices, Is the most lata! to a gen
eral frugality and the benefits resulting
from it.
The effect uf domestic manufactures in
diminishing imports, and, as far as the/
arc carried on by hands attracted from
abroad,' or by bauds otherwise idle or h-ss
jiroductivelv emploved. without a pro
portional diminution uf exports, merits
certainly a distinguished attention in mar- 1
this country and most others, whtoh prn-i
motra not u little an unfavorable result.
Oueexpnrtsbeing ctpotly articles of food;
manlaci-ures m fog* cgnaumptiqn easily
suriliarged, the amount of them called
for, never exceeds what may be decided
real and definite want*. This is not the
ease with our imports. Many of them,
suite the most costly, are objects neither
of necessity nor utility, hut merely of
fanry and fashion, wants of a nature al
together indefinite. This relative condi
tion of the trading parties,' ulthuugh it
mavgive to the one furnishing the neces-
sarV and profitable articles, a powerful
advantage over throne makingits returns
in superfluities, tin extrajirdinary oecasi-
on* of ail eniolerrupted intercourse; yet,
in the ordinary and free course uf com
merce, the advantage lies mi the other
side; and it will he the greateryn propor
tion to the lengthened credit* nn which
the article* gratifying extravagant pro
pensities are, supplied. Such an inequali
ty must, in a certain degree, control itself.
It would be completely redressed by a
change in the public preferences and hab
its. such as is inculcated in the address.
In not regarding domestic manufactures
ns of themselves an adequate cure fur all
bur embarrassments, it is by nn means
intended to detract from their just im
portance, or from the policy of legisla
tive | rnfectiou for them-
However true it he in general that the
industrious pursuits of Individual* ought to.
he regulated by their own sagacity and in-
teres ,there arejpraclical exceptions to the
theory, which sufficiently speak lor them
selves. The theory itself, indeed, requires
a similarity of rircumstancVs, and an equal
freedom ofinterchange among commercial
nations, which have never vet existed.—
All are agreed, also, that there are certain
articles an indispensable, that no provident
nation would depend tor a supply of them
on any other nation., llut besides these,
(Imre may be many valuable branches of
uisnufacturcs, which, if once established,
would suppnrt themselves and even add to
the list of exported commodities; but which
without public patronage, would cither nut
be undertaken, or £«me to a premature
downfall. The difficulty of introducing
manufactures, especially uf a complicated
character and costly outfit, and above all,
is a market preoccupied py powerful ri-
vtls, must readily be conceived.’ They
appear, accordingly, to have required, for
their introduction into the countries'were
tley are now seen in their greatest ex-
tfiit and prosperity, either the liberal sup-
ptrt of the government, or the aid of exil
ed or emigrant manulactures, or both of
these advantages.
In determining the degree of encour
agement which can be afforded to domes
tic manufactures, it is evident that, among
other considerations, a fair comparison
ought to be made of what might he saved
by supplies at home during foreign wnrs,
to say nothing of our own, with the expe
rience of supporting manufactures in times
offleaco, against foreign Competitions in
our market. The price of domestic fab
rics, though dearer titan foreign in times of
peace, might be so much cheaper in times
uf war, as to he clioaper also than the me
dium price of the foreign, taking the two
periods together. Yet the American man
ufacturer, if unprotected durihg the peri
od of pence, would necessarily be under
mined by the foreign; and he could riot be
expected to resume his undertaking at
the return of war, knowing the un
certainty of its duration, and foreseeing
Ids certain ruin nt the end of it. Esti
mates on these points cannot he made with
much precision, hut they arc nut on that
account to he overlooked; and in making
them, a strong leaning ought to be indul
ged towards the policy of securing to the
nafidit independent icsaurces within itself.
If i have extended*hese remarks be
yond the proper limits, I must find nty
apology in the nature of the subject, and
ill the tenor of your letter; fur which I
pray you to accept my acknowledgements
with my respects and good wishes.

At a meeting of a number of gentle
men from various parts of the State who
are friendly to the encouragenveut of na-
tioimt industry, lately held in the city of
Hanford, Con. a committee was appointed
to procure returns from all parts of the
State, of the present condition of different
Manufacturing ostabishments:—and al
though the returns are deficient, and many
establishments an 1 known not to have been
reported, vet the following results appear:

There are thirty-six woollen msnufac

meeting was hidden at the Crown ai(d An
chor Inn, London, on the 48th Mar last,
with Sir Hubert Peele at its head wah the
professed object of raising a fund topasist
distressed cotton manufactures uf Eijgland
but with the retl'intention of ratsingaTund
and concerting- measures to doftm the
•ihnorlcnn Manufactures iii their iifuucy.
The plan is to sink /3O0.0U0 sterling, to lie
raised by subscription, and paid is annu
al instalments of 40 per cent.—In the
mean time government is to advance ex
chequer bills at 90 days, reuewajie. The
directors are t(> reside at Munclicnter, and
for the present it is understood that two
agents arc to he sent out to each of your
principal cities, who are to open warehou-
st#in their own names, and ire ti be fur
nished with goods from hence, of such
junltty HrutjMtterns only, as are n^w made
hi America. These, guods are to!be sold
weekly, by advertisement or otherwise, as
American made guilds, a little lower than
the American manufacturer can posihly
make them. It is expected that this meth
od will bringdown the bulk ol American
manufactured goods to the same level; and
with this capital, a business of this kind
may be earned on for three years, and by
the end of that time the destruction of vour
inanufncturing#tahliahineiitsisiii"vitnf)lo.
Up to tbe 41st June, only 44 days after
the original meeting at the Crown and An

Of this Sir Robert Peele, P. Marslutid and
T. Holdsworth subscribed 15000 sterling.
There was no name ou the list less than

Chatham's opinion of the Spanish na
tion.—The following extracts from Lord
Chatham’s speech in the British House of
Lords, in the year irro, will shmv the
opinion entertained by that eminent states
man of the Spanish nation, fifty years a
go. Since that period, .Spain lias rapidly
depreciated. If she merited these ana-
th*.nas fifty years ago, what does she now
deserve? The speech was occasioned by
a motion of the Duke of Richmond for
information relative to the se ill ire of the
Falkland Islands by Spain.—Bust. Vat.
EHTUAO-rg.
"My lords, T am well acquainted with
the character of the Spanish nation; ,H
least as far as it is represented by their
court and ministry, and should think this
country dishonored by a comparison of
the English good faith with the punctilios
t«f a Spaniard. TV,,* Hpntdards are as
mean and crafty, as they are proud and in
solent. With their ministers! have often
been obliged to negociate, and never met
with an instance of candor or dignity in
their proceedings; nothing but low con
ning (lick, and artifice. Alto' a long ex
perience of their want of candor and good
faith, I found hivselfcompelled to talk to
them in a peremptory, decisive language.
“The pretended disavowal bv the court
of Spain is as ridiculous as its* false. Too
King of Spain disowns the thief, while he
leaves hint unpunished, ami profi's by the
theft. In vulgar English, he is the receiver
of stolen guilds, and ought to be treated
accordingly.”

Extract of a letter from an American gen■
■firman jn London, to his correspondent
in .Veic-I'irk. . '
“ My special intimates arc our young
countrymen, Leslie and Newton, who
have lodgings not far from mine, so that
we see each other almost everyday. You
have no doubt heard of Leslie's rapidly
increasing reputation. He has done him
self vast credit lately, by a.beautiful pic* ;
tore of Sir Roger de Loverly going to ,
church. He bids fair to take the lead in
t|mt most captivating line of paintin'*,
which consist* in the delineation of fainiL
iar life. I make no doubt, in the course
of a little while, he will be one of th*
most celebrated arid most popular pain* (
fers in Great jlrtiain. lie hus nil the Ida- >
terials within him for excelling in th*
walk he has chosen.—A deepseoce of mo*
ral feeling; an exquisite idea of beauty;
quirk eye for character, and for external
nature; a rich vein of humor, chastened
and sweetened by the purest benevolence
of heart: add to these a perfect, devotion
to his art, and intimate knowdedge of eve
ry thing in it that depends upon study
and diligent practice, and l think you
will agree with me -in funning the highest-
anticipations of his future octebrity.
"Newton is the nephew of Stewart, out
great portrait painter. He is not so ex-...
perienced in his art as Leslie, but, has
uncommon requisites for it. Jhere is a
native eloquence about every thing lie ^
does; a delicate tast«, a playful fancy,
and an extraordinary facility atatcliWvirig,'
without apparent labour or study, what
other painters, with the labour and study -
of years, canfiot attain. His eve fur col
oring is almost unrivalled, and produce*
beautiful effects, which have surprised ex
perienced painters, who have been aiming
at coluring all their lives, The only dan
ger is, that his uncommon natural advan
tages may make him remiss incultivil*
ing the more mechanical parts of his art;
and he may thus fall short of that pre-em
inent stand in his profession which iscoml
pleteiv within his reach, though he can
not fail at all events to become a highly
distinguished painter. He is as yet but a
student in his art, hut lias produced se.v-
eral admirable portraits, a little fancy
piece, of F.ilsiatrs escape in the Buck-
basket,,nfgreat merit, anil i* now engaged
nn a little cabinet picture for the next ex--
hibition of the British gallery, which will
be quite a gem. I have been rather pro
lix about these two intimates of mine; bat
I have thought the account would be in
teresting to you, as being young men of
whom our nation will hereafter have Tea-
son to be proud.

Messrs. Lang, Turner # Co.—As the
trade between the United States and tliyse
Islands is now pretty extensive, it may
happen that vessels trading here may
sometimes have some small articles on
board, such as presents, that are inadmis
sible; and although I am persuaded that
there is less smugglingearried ou here than
in any other of His Majesty’s co.onies yet
I beg leave, through your useful paper, to
caution persons coming h"i e against bring
