Nat. Intel. Wafoington, Nov. 13, 1809. (Circular.) Sir, I have to inform you with much regret, that the fafts which it has hrrn rrr- duty to ftate Yn my offi o.rc co.icipon fence with Mr. Smith have !x-<rn deemed by the i J r< fidenc o’ the United Stages to afford a lufficient motive for breaking o'ff an important negociation and for putting an end to all communica tion whatever with me as the minif t. r charged with hat negociation fo lnrereitu-g to both nations, and on one mofl material noinr, or which an anlwer has not even been return ed to an official and written over ture. One of the hafts alluded to has been admitted bv the Secretary of State hunfelf in his letter to me of the 19th Oft. viz. that the three conditions forming the fubftance of Mr. Eifkine’s original inftruftions were fubmitted to nim by that gen tleman 5 the other, viz. that that inftruftion is the only, one in which the conditions were preferibed to Mr. Erfkine for the conclufion of an ‘arrangement on the matter to which it related, is known to me by the inftruftions which I have rayfelf received. In Rating thefe fafts, and in adhering to them as rny duty imperioufly enjoined me to do, in order co repel the frequent charges Of ill faith which have been made againft his rnaje fly’s govern menr, 1 could not imagine that of fence would be taken at it by the American government, as moft certainly none could be intended on ray part j and this view of the (ob ject has been made known r.o Mr. Smith. But as I am informed by him, that no further communication will be received from me, I con ceive that I have no alternative left, which is confident with the king’s dignity, but to withdraw altogether from this city, and to wait elle where the arrival of Lis nuijefty’s commands upon the unlocked for turn which has thus been given to his affairs in this country. 1 mean in the interval to make New-York the place of my refidence, where you will henceforward plcafe to ai reft your communications to me, as I fhall be accompanied by evtry member of his majefty’s million. I am, &c. (Signed) F. J JACKSON. From the Salem Gazette. AMERICAN MANUFACTURES. It is well known that the Wren tharn straw hats & bonnets have for feverai years paft Supplied our Milliners Shops, and graced the heads of oar Fafhionables and Elegants. The following account of the origin and progrefs of that manufacture in this country, is gi ven in a letter from James Mann, of Wrentham, to the Editors of the Patriot, f< The manufacture of Straw hats and Bonnets has been, a few years pzft, an employment of confidera ble confequence in this vicinity.— This bufmefs commenced in this town, in the year ißot. At that time, the Englifti Straw Bonnets had become the fafhionahle out door head dreffes of the Ladies in the metropolis, who are allowed al ways to take the lead in the fafhi ons. The prices demanded for them were fo great as to prevent the farmer’s daughters purchafing them. ■ A young Lady, {Emulated with a defire to appear not Ids laffi ionabie than thofc who were better able, or more willing, to pay an extravagant price for a bonnet, con ceived thacfhe might with her own ingenuity and induftry, fabricate one for herfeff, equal in quality, and Ids in ex pence, than an Enghfh bonnet would cell. The bonnet 1 was loon completed, and was not thought to be inferior 10 the LLg ftffi. This firft farceAfd efkr V the young.lady brought to ma ny cuftomer?, who were fit m i h- t with b< nn< tr, at half the price whit ii were paid for thofe imported. - The demand for bonnets increafUp, o thers were induced to try their-in genuity. Thole fufl attempts w___ generally crowned with fucct In a few months the manufaftm ,bonner.s exceeded the domeftir id and for them. The fu?r,f intruded to the care ofr rr frequented rhe market at for fale, who made fuch return, to not only encourage the firft ad venturers to continue the buflnefs, but to induce others alfo to become adventurers i fo that, at the end of one year, the bonnet hufinefs had become an important article of traffic in this vicinity. Since which the bufmefs has annually increafed/* and the demand for thoff llraw goods become more and more ex- . tenfive.
