button moulds, tabic cloths and nap kins, fringe and lace, flaxen (ilk arid leathern gloves and mitts, silk gown (luffs and other linen, silken, woollen and leather articles being deemed likely uu.be excluded, fubßitutes of cotton have been already made or se riously thought of, by the BritiTh manufacturers. Among the considerations, which have attended the exilling non impor tation la.w. ideas have artfen, that with , Out any dinentiorv-wIWi foreign nations, we might render their manufactures ■ and our own, inllrumental to the crc-j ation, maintenance and extension of the markets for our cotton wool. The whifcentfs of cotton goods,, the capacity of cotton to receive and re tain many colors, and us fitnefs for manufactures, adopted to ail leafijns. promile success to our endeavors to procure its tncreafed employment in Europe, in the manufactory of good heretofore made of Wool, (ilk, flax, hemp and leather. As to those for eign nations, who fuppl'y us w:th Ruff, for cloathing, furniture, &c. it ts in our power to occalion their employ ment of cotton wool (of which wc (apply half their consumption, ot more) instead of foreign flax, hemp, wool, and silk, of which we do not sup ply any part. If wc are to reduci our duty on goods of cotton, made in the countries on this fide of the Cape of Good Hope, to ten per cent, and to raise the duties on goods from the other fide of that Cape to twenty-five per cent, for example, and the duties on all foreign goods of wool, hemp, flax, and silk to the fame, it is plain, that it would contribute to increase the employment of cotton in Europe, and to promote the American manufac ture of that raw materia!, and of our own fheeps wool, flax and hernp.— Some of the kinds of rival foreign goods might, perhaps, be more ad vanced in duty from the beginning, such as woollen blankets linen table cloths, and linen bed tirkens in order to encourage cotton fubflitutes. It is supposed that the woollen blankets, in con Rant ufc in the United States, may weigh twelve millions of pounds. The design of this communication, is to produce general attention to a fubjed, which has long been very in tereding, and which the foreign duties on our cotton, and the various cm birraffments of the exportation and laic of it abroad, have rendered it of the utmod importance. To encour age manufactures from foreign raw materials, in the fame way would be a measure of more doubtful policy.— They would be, perhaps, to aid man fa flutes at the expense of the planter and farmer. But the consequences of the plan proposed, would be effeftual lv to affilt our agriculture, by means of manufactures. ‘1 his proposition bring directed im mediately towards a manufacture of a southern production and raw material, indv be supposed, at firff view, to be too favorable to the southern planters. But if the fubjeCt be duly considered, the plan will be found highly benefi vial to the farmers of the western, mid dle and northern Hates. At present it is a laO, that the production of cotton, sugar, rice, indigo and tobacco em ploys so many of onr cultivators in the laoutli and of their laborers, that they cannot raite their own bread-fluff, meat tattle, hotfes and mules. Hence anics to our iarmccs, in the grain and t attle Pates, and to our hfhermen, a good matket for their flour, Indian corn, btef, pork, hams, lard, butter, cheese. beer, cider, wlnfky and fifh— Hence alio a great coalting trade in Hhefe articles and in cotton, tobacco, rice, indigo and sugar, for the profit of the merchants. But the dnpd im portant confederation to the’farmers of the weftem, middle and northern dates is, that the great quantity of the land and the large number of fuijthern cultivators and laborers employed in producing cotton, tobacco, rice, indi go and sugar prevent that great super abundance of grain and .cattle, which I would render it impoflßLle to find'a ‘good market for them. We deem it profitable to fend our grain to the W j Indies, fubjefct to full freight, insu rance and duties ; but we nv.rfi find it more so to fend them to the southern Hates at half caffs and charges of the .fame kind, except duty, from which they are in the coaditrg trade.

From the Philadelphia Gazelle. <c An a£t marked with (insular pre sumption and arrogance, occurred in this city yesterday afternoon.’ A Del j aware pilot, who had been bearded off the Capes by a British crplzer from Halifax, and entrufied with; a packet directed to the British minister, Mr. Erskine, and endorsed by admiral Berkley, yesterday reached town. On his way to deposit it in the pod-office, i he fell into conversation with a person opposite the Aurora office,, to whom he shewed the packet. This person, upon hearing the circumftattccs, took poireffion of the packet, and deliver ed it to the editor of the Aurora, who has since refufed to deliver it up, aJ ledgingdhat he had forwarded it to the President of the United States ! The pilot has made oath to the etreum liances of the case. Mr. Erskine is now in this city.” “ Mark how a plain tail; will fet 1 them down"—A person whom the ed itor never saw before nor since, presen ted a packet, concerning which the ex planation agrees generally with the a bove account of its receipt, but differ ing in fome particulars —lt was dated to have been put on board an Ameri can vessel, accompanied by abuse and menances, if it was not delivered, with many opprobrious epithets of Yankee rascal, and the like, by a British armed ship. : Why or wherefore this pap-r Ihould have been brought to the editor, fa ting quietly in the bosom of his fami ly, was not to be accounted for. But it was put into the editor’s hands, and there remained no other consideration for the editor how to aft, but that he Ihould at once defeat artifice, if there was any mediated—and take care that j if it was realy no impoßure, the man should have his mare.” | The thing looked very suspicious on its outside ; it appeared to be, and perhaps may turn out to be, what the editor fufpcCls, a pamphlet, or a cou ple of English newspapers; for there was not even a leal upon it—it was fu perferibed “ in his Bntannac majes ty’s service,” and addrefled to the ara baffador of Great Britain. Foi Mr. Erskine, as a private gen tleman, and as the son of the late chan cellor of England, there can be no motive for dilrefpeCl or even want of refpeft. But the editor of this p n P r has neither the motive nor the mraun l information, which Mr. Relf has, t know where the British ambaffaaot holds his Gccalional i elidenee, : r But if the editor did know, and ht did not know until three hours alter he had dispatched the packet to the feat of the general government, the usual and the proper residence of all ambassadors, yet he should not have atted otherwise than he has done, and which he would do to-morrow, with the knowledge of Mr. Erfkine’o pre sence, if he should be prefuited with a packet in the fame way. That there should be no miflake in the motives, they shall be very fully, explicitly, and unreieivedly explain ed. It is well known both from the con duct of the agents and the corrupt ad- j herents of the Brin sh government, that the Aurora is particularly obnoxi ous to them. One of their emissaries, from his feeling in the affair is a com petent evidence, has publicly declared .that the Aurora under the direction of Tts present editor, has cost the British j government upwards of a million sterl ing. This million inult have been laid out in one way in the U. States, for it is pretty evident that it hac not been laid out in promoting the Au ror a—other primers inult know. The dedrufiion of the editor, it can not be doubted, wouid gratify the government —and whether it is by the means which Gobbet pointed at : “ there is no doing any thing with such a man unless you take his life" —or by j deft roving his character, and (landing in society, is not so material to that government as that it Ihould be done; they view him as a mere Irishman , and would give more than forty marks to remove the {tumbling block- With this knowledge, the editor wouid have been indeed a greater fool than they suppose hirn to be, if he bed for an instant, hefilated on the mode of difpoling of the packet. It was delivered by a person whom he never saw before —nor since —never but the once. It was delivered in a very quefiton able manner—for it was not the per son who said he received it that deli vered it, bu- a person who had receiv ed it from another. Aware of the flratagems of the British, and Rrengthened by the exte rior appearance of the packet—with out even a seal, and to appearance containing eithera couple ofnewfpapers or a final! pamphlet, the editor could not forget the use that had been made of a similar occurrence in relation to his predecessor—he conceived it to be! a trick, intended to entrap him—and tbefe refle&ions arose Suppose this packet to be a politi cal contrivance here — Suppose it to contain something personally insulting to Mr. Erskine. . II it was, and we do Rill believe it to be a trick invented, here, the object muR be too obvious. j If it was any thing personally insult ing to Mr. Erskine, then the very cir- J cumftance of its pafiing, no matter by zvhat means , through the hands of the editor of the Aurora, no doubt the in tention would be or was to fix the aCI or authorfhipon the object so obnoxi-j ous to the liritifh. There would be no choice of conduft left in such a situation. The man was questioned if he had any illegal intercourse, contrary to the pre sident’s proclamation, with the Britilh armed ship . rhe reply he made was, that he ivas not the person lut a relation of his. The reply made by the editor was, the only icourfe for you and for me to fend it to the exc cittive- Accordingly, it was put under a cover alosg with a fliort open note to the secretary of noticing how it was received, and intimating the editor’s igndrance of Mr. Erfkine’o adtual refl. dence. A gentleman not an agent of Mr. Bond a., has been Lid—in about three hours afterwards, called and enquired about it, but the packet had r been dispatched, and of course was out of t!# ’ power of the editor, but had it been in the pew. ’ er of the editor he would not have ttted c’ijex | wife ? Because he found it incumbent on him to , place the government of the country between hy and the p fit lence of British connection. ’ As to Mr. Erlkiae’s being in this city, the ’ editor d;d hot know it; until informed t! :r , . hours after the traufadlion ; if he had known it under the circumilances in which it reached him* he would not have trulted to any eejuivoc; course. The adherents of the British} government ] llr , now the whole advantage of their trick, forfu C l| we mull ft ill believe it to be. But the trap dij not catch— they mull try another trick or !t another turn ; and they had befl request a copy of she original note of the editor to the secretary of state. ‘ THE SUBSCRIBER, Informs the Physicians and Country Merchants, and the Public in General, that he has R,. cr'tvd by the Dolphin , via N’etv-Tf.rl, the f 3 l. lotvirg ARTICLES, in addition to his for. mer assortment , which he will sell at \\ hole.
