John Selman, sen. April 30, 1813. MONITOR WASHING TON, (Georgia) Printed wlskly for SARAH HIJLLUOIJSE. WASHINGTON CITY. MONDAY, A RIL 30. The report of the Secretary of the treasury on American manufactures, from the interesting views it t.xhii>- its of the rapid progress made in this great branch of national wealth, merits general peril fa'. We regret our inability at once to io.fiit it cn tirr. i’ efrrving this (nr a flihfe quent pper, vv< pnl it the con cluding put o| ii, vt ic 1 in.!, a'es the itep, which in ih. opinion of the Secretary, ought to be tak n to advance domeitic nanu :.dines. “From that imperf.tfc Ik tch of American mamlaclu.’es, it may with ceruiinty hr inferred that their annua! prodod rx-ceils one hun dred and tw ni\ millions of dollars.

The i cheapness of pr visions had always, j to a certain extent, counterbalanc ‘d ! the high price of manual la.or; L this is now in many important branches nearly iupededed by the introduction <d machinery : a great American c.ipnal has been acquired during the lait twenty years; and ’ the injurious violations or the neu tra! commerce ot the United States, by forcing industry and capital into other channels, have broken invet era e habits, and given a general impulse, t which mull be aferibed the great increafc of manufactures ■ during the two last years. The revenue of the United States ; being principally derived bom du ties <.n the importanon of foreign 1 merchandize, these have alio oper | ated as a premium in favor o!
