The sollowing propositions and sug gc -tiotrs sur creating a certain permanent ami extensive market sor the cotton-wool os the United States ; and sor our pro visions and raw m uerials .n general, are respectsully submitted to the Governors and Legislatures os the several states. Mid to the President and Congress os the Lnited States, in a copy os an original leuc- os the current month: Dkar Sir I am anxious to bring un der public consideration, and particularly under that os the southern cotton planters, some reslections, to which 1 sind my mind strongly disposed'. They’ relate to a ready and enlarged market sor cotton wooK i I have never urged the sacrisice cs the agricultural and mercantile interests to that os the manusacturers, though*l have Believed that many circumstances actual ly and naturally encourage -mu- usactures, and that we ought to soster them as sar a~ our othi *- iutvre'.i. will •**!*« •** ?i \vi\ ; \r. /sik: maP.Mai. to at su rl cons Krabie encouragement to our other objects os individual pursuit and employment. Oar distillers have aided trade, sor example, by demanding the importation os sive, six, or seven mil lions os gallons os molasses in a year. The leathern manusactures, as another example, demand srom the sarmer, sron tier settler, and Indian trader, skins sus sicient to make goods worth ten or twelve millions os dollars per annum. As ano ther example, the cotton wool os the U. States is sold sor household and shop ma nusactures in the stores at and around every county seat os justice and village in the state os Pennsylvania, however re mote srom the sea. The quantity thus sold has increased twenty sold, within a sew years. P-lanusactures theresore un sorced, and aided only by the imposition ‘ os the necessary duties on soreign goods, really agriculture aids trade. r . .in it. , osv.r.n, then, Lia.it ma nusactures have already contributed to r.reate, maintain ard enlarge the market sor cotton wool, among the savorably as sected agricultural productions. My object is, to suggest the deliberate pursuit os a course os legislation, associa tion and habits, which shall render thi market sor cotton wool both large and steady. 'Plus may be done-—lst, by obliging or inducing soreign nations to manusacture it; and secondly, by attending to the ma nusactures at horn-.. It is certain that the mere prospect o' a prohibition os British sine woollen, linen silken and leathern goods, has had sour ess-ct on the soreign demand sor cotton Irish, Scotch and Lancashire linens, slax en and hempen tickens, thread and sill hosiery, sewing threads, tapes, bobbin-, covered button moulds, table cloths and napkins, sringe and lace ; sl axen, silk sad leathern gloves and mitts ; silk gowi stusss and oth r linen, silken, woollen and leathern articles, being deemed likely to be excluded, substitutes os cotton have been already made or seriously through; os, by the British manusacturers. Among the considerations which have s c attended the existing non-iinpurtation law, ideas have arisen, that without an; dissention with soreign nations, we migh render t'rtir manusactures and our own instrumental to the creation, ir.ainteuanci ami expansion os the markets sor our cot ton wool. The whiteness os cot son goods, the ca pacity ot cotton to receive anil retain ma ny coloursand its sitness sor manusactures , adapted to all seasons, promise success to our endeavors to procure Ira increased employment in Europe, in the manusac tory os goods heretosore made os wool, silk, slax, hemp & leather. As to those soreign nations who supply us with stusss sor cloathing, surniture, &c. it is in cm power to occasion their employment os cotton wool (os which we supply hals th ;ir consumption, or more) instead os soreign slax, hemp, wool and silk, ot which we do not supply any part. Is wt were to reduce our duty on goods os cot ton, made in the countries on this side os the Cape os Good Hope, to ten percent, and to raise the duties on goods srom the other side os that Cape to twenty-sive pei cent, sor example, and the duties on all soreign goods os wool, hemp, slax and s:;kto the same, it is plain, that it would t’hsttn /V " ) U r M’sPo—W's rUit. iVt . contribute to increase thcr employment os cotton in Europe, and to promote A merman manusacture os that raw materi al, and js our own sheep’s wool, slax and hemp. Some os the kinds os rival sor eign goods might, perhaps, be more ad vanced in duty srom the beginning, such as woollen blankets, linen table cloths and linen bed tickens, in order to encourage cotton substitutes. It is supposed, that the woollen blankets in constant use in the U States, may weigh twelve millions os pounds. 1 he design os this communication is to produce general attend' a to a subject, which has long been very interesting, and which the soreign duties on our cotton, and the various embarrassments os the exportation isnd sale os it abroad, have rendered os the utmost importance. To encourage manusacture srom soreign raw materials, in the same way, would be a measure os a more doubtsul nulir.y They would perhaps, t > ;ud uk i ic tur« rs at t v a expmse os tile planter ajsci b.-wr. But the consequences os the pHr> proposed, would be essectually to assist our agriculture, by means os manu sactures. . * his proposition being directed imme diately towards a manusacture os a south ern production and raw material, may be supposed, at sirst view, to be too savora ble to the southern planters. But is the subject be duly considered, the plan will be sound highly benesicial to the sarmers ot the western, middle and northern states. At present it is a sact, that the production os cotton, sugar, rice, indi go and tobacco, employs so many os our cultivators in the south, and os their la borers, that they cannot raise their own bread-stust, neat cattle, horses and mules. H- nce arises to our sarmers, in the grain and cattle states and to our sishermen, a good market sor slour, Indian corn, bees, pork, hainS, lard, butler, cheese. ■ v r, V ■ i.biskCy auu —lienee al so a great coasting trade in these articles, ind in cotton, tobacco, rice, indigo and sugar sor the prosit os the merchants. But the most important consideration to the sarmers os the western, middle and northern states is, that the great quantity os land and the large number os southern ' ultivators and laborers, employed in pro ducing cotton, tobacco, rice, indigo and sugar, prevent that great superabundance ■I grain and cattle, which would render it impossible to sind a good market sor hem. We deem it prositable to send our grain to the West-Indies, subject to sull ■reight, insurance and duties ; but we nust sind it more so to send them to the southern states, at hals costs and charges >s the same kind, except duty, srom vvhich they are sree in the coasting trade.

A Morning Print os this day saVs— Divisions have, it is notorious, lor a j < time back prevail d among linisters with rtgird to the course to ■ pursued relative to the Island os Zea uiil. Some have contended sor the pro , nety and practicability os ret dining pos •ssion os it, while others hive main < ined quite a contrary oniniun. At ! ngth, however, we understand, they 1' ve becom unanimous irt this rcsolu on—to occupy the place until the ice is about to set in—namely, until the micl ce os December. Hut besore our sorce svacuate, it is proposed to destroy the * isenal, the Fortisications os Cronen- Dtrg, and the Crown Batteries. The n- cessity se»r demolishing the hitter is said t > be imperious, because, according to 'G- opinion os our engineers, they are, <l, their present state, is properly pre r -ed and manned, sussicient to withstand Mst attack os the whole British Navy. 1 ‘d>:ed they are stated to he quite unas s. ila’ilo with any essect by sea. Upon the land su\«, they may be approached, but with dissiculty ; a battery os 60 pieces ot cannon, which was quite complete, was about to play upon them, when the cupitulation was proposed and concluded, .ue destruction os these batteries is con shlered essentially necessary, not only to n rider the passage os the Sound practi cable, but to place any material approach l>v sea to the harbor os Copenhagen, with in the scope os possibility. These Crown Butenes are, in sact, considered the stsungest sortisications in Europe, and ib ;r total demolition is thought os, is the Ci urt os Denmark shall persist in its hos ti ty. It is added according to insorma tisi we have received, that our comman- 1 d)r,are to intimate to the Danish Gov e : neat the resolution os this Country s* LspaiX.n u licet oi ooscrvation in the | Sound as early as the srost will permit ; and that any attempt to re-construct new sortisications at the Arsenal, Cronenburg, or the Crown Batteries, will be consider ed by us as an indication os hostility, a gainst which our sorce will be directed to act. “ Is a French or Danish sorce os any consideration, should sind its way into Zealand in the course os the winter, the batteries lest standing would render any impression by our sorce utterly impracti cable. It is understood to be determin ed, that our shipping shall pay no Sound duties in suture, and that the navigation shall not be interrupted. Is the amount os these dues annually paid by our rner chanty heretosore be correctly stated to us, the saving to our commerce by th< new arrangement, will be considerable. 1 he expense os the Expedition to Co penhagen is likely to be, we arc assured, iitlle less than sour millions,” VVe have this morning received a Got tenburgh Mail with intelligence up to the .idinst.

It was reported, that the British would not give up the right os search, even os ship* os wir, sur their stamen—that there was hut little prospect os an accommodation between the two governments—that the British had given orders to detain all A merican vessels bound to or liom ene mies ports—that the blockade os the Kms, Elb and Weser, was raised about the 20th September—that Copcnhigen had sur rendered ; the Danish sle*ct was to be manned by volunteers sent srom England, and was soon expected to arrive in B i« tish ports—that another expedition wu» to carry 20,000 troops, supposed sor South America—and that slat-bottomed boats were building sor this service-—that: the Madeira exp ditiott had not sailed, but rendi zvoused ost Cork.

Mr. Munroe, it seems, was instructed to de clare, that should the British govern ment resuse to concede the points de manded by America, the non-importatii*n net would be immediately ensorced, t he reply was, “ I am commanded b y iris majesty to insorm you, that the issue .} such an order by the American go vernment, ivill be considered and held is a declaration os WAR.” “ Ou the points respecting the right d search, Mr. Munroe was insorm' d, hat this country will maintain its right iot only respecting goods, but seamen, not even excepting American ships os war. “ lhe last Lisbs u mail brought Intel ; bg nee os the intention os the Portuguese j government to emigrate to the Brazils* I It is said an application has been made i to our government to assist them in exe cuting ibis plan.” Tram the American Citizen, Scalping! —The ensuing extraordinary paper, is copied srom pag'-s 85 and 86 os the “ Mtdical Repository sor May, June and July, 1807,” edited by Di's.
