Extract of a letter, dated Hjjara, Nov. 25.—On the return of the Turk ish fleet to the bay of Tenedos, a fee ble division of the squadron of Psara began to pursue it, with the intention of profiting of all opportunities which might present themselves. They pro ceeded in the first place to make their movements behind the neighbouring isles. After having procured the ne cessary information, as to the situation of the enemy, two captains solicited and gained permission to attempt to set fire to the fleet, by means of fire ships. The enterprise was difficult and perilous, but the utmost reliance was placed on the skill of the seamen selected for this service, and particu larly on the intrepidity of the Captain Conaris, the same who had destroyed the captain Pacha on the coasts of Scio, at the same time that the Hy driot Captain Pepinos set fire to the sloop Rekla. Notwithstanding the tempestuous/state of the weather, the two fire ships set out on the I Otii N:>v, at seven o’clock in the evening, ac companied by two sloops of war; they contrived at first to deceive the vigif- nhee of tlie first line of the enemy’s gourd, by passing dexterously on one side j Dut when they approached the port, two frigates, stationed to guard the coast, at no great distance from the entrance of the pert, perceived their intentions, and gave notice of them by signals to the Admiral of the Heel, - who apprised the whole fleet by firing three shots. The Greeks took advantage of the very wcuiftstaws which appeared calculated to ruin their enterprizc ; foi‘ the Captain Ca- nuris, recognizing the Admiral by this signal, cxclnimud 'courage my com rades we have the enemy, and imme diately. made an attack upon this ves sel, which he burned with such I’apidi- ty that out of the whole crew, not more than twenty or thirty esenpod. The confusion of the Turks was at first su great, that those in the fortress believing tlyat the Greeks had stormed the post, fired for some seconds against their own ships, and did- considerable damage to some of them. The ships also sustained a great deal of damage in striking against .each other at the entrance of the port, where they were obstructed in their haste to escape the communication of the flame-. The storm afterwards destroyed 12 Turk ish brigs, and four frigates. One of their corvettes was captured. On the return of the Greek division to the purt of I’.vara, the Kphori of the Isle, followed by an immense crowd of men and women of all ages, came down t- the bank, where they receiv ed tlie captains and their crews with cries of “ Long live the heroes of Te nedos ! Honor to the brave! Long live (he illustrious defenders of our in dependence !’’ The President of the Ephori then advanced and placing a laurel crown on the head of Canaris said—“Your grateful country honors the conqueror of two of the enemy’s Admirals.” lhe magistrates reced ing him afterwards in the midst of them, and causing him to be accompa nied by all his brethren in arms, re turned to town, followed by the peo pie, who made the air resou.id with cries of joy. In this order they arriv-' ed at the Cathedral Church of the Isle, where they sang Te Deum. This ceremony was succeeded by prolong ed discharges of artillery. At the same instant, Mr. Hamilton, Com mander of the. Bnglishvessel the Cam brian, entered the port, and demand ed, on his lauding the cause of these rejoicings. Being informed of the fresh disaster of the Ottoman fleet, lie desired to see captain Carats, DEBATE ON MANUFAI’-TUkEu. IN THE HOUSE OF HEFnESENTaTlVES The uilt “for the morn effectual protec tion of Manufactures!' being under consi deration in Committee of the Whole!* 1 >’ M |U TATTNALL, of Georgia, ad dressed the chair—lie expressed him- Selt as fully sensible ul the liberality and friendly politeness of the Hon. gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Iluylics, in yielding the floor to him, on the present occasion. The object of that gentleman was to take up the bid in detail, for the purpose only ol changing some of ils (futures. Ms object, said Mr. T. is different. 1 am willing to receive this bill in no shape. I am therefore not inclined 10 emei upon the discussmji ol the propriety ol .,ny amendments that may be cowem- plated. 1 am altogether opposed to the system which il is interid'-d to up .-.old; and am desiious of testing, at once, the sense ul mis House, wheth er it is prepared to enler upon the policy, so boldly recommended upon i his occasion, ol encouraging our do mastic manufactures by the imposi tion of duties completely prohibitory ot foreign importations. His objections 10 this bill were twofold; firsi, because ul its operation in relation to the pe pie generally of the United Stoles; .nd secondly, because of its bearing upon tlie particular district of lit country, from which Tie had the hull ur to cume. He would briefly state nis general objections to the policy upheld by this bill,- and, in (lie cour-e ul the lew remarks with which In would burthen the attention of the Committee, he would endeavour In take some slight notice ol the argu inents urged in ils favor. Iri the firs' place, said Mr. T. -1 would remark, that, to aulhorizi- us to pass this bill gentlemen should not only convince us lhat it is Calculated In benefit tin manuracluringinirresi-;but ilicy mus als« place it beyond a doubt, that tin other classes ol laborers in our coun try will not be injuriously affected. Pile capacity df the Government to be nejit may be unlimited. Not so in- power to injure. It may have a i-ighi to advance the interests of maHufac tures. It can have no right to itc-rfm' with the prosperity, or-check the progress of agriculture and cum- merce, particularly as the two lat ter cover a apace, in importance of imedmparahly greater extent! As far as he could inform himself, and as far as his reflection upon the subject extended, he was satisfied, that, instead of its being proved lhai the agricultural and commercial iu tercets would not be injured, it was clear to his mind, that the contrary would be the - fleet. Nay, Sir, Said he, I am satisfied that this lias alrea dy been the case to o partial degree; —I know, at least, it has been so in regard to agriculture, in the quarter of the country iu which 1 reside He could not thcielore give his assent to he bill. On the contrary, he felt ii hit dui/ to raise l)is voice against it. He regarded it as unjust anil grevl- oui i—qnjiist ns it is. partial legisla tion, intended to benefit a few, and grnvioua a%it promises to seriously- afflict thts Interests of every Ollier portion of our community. No bur thens should bo imposed, but lor the sup|fnrl ol the Government, and these should bear equally upon the shoul ders of all. Ary other principle i« oppiesite nnrl unjust. II yurt give a bounty to one class, you must take so mnclt from the Commowstock, You cannot encourage nil ) lor to take from a common stock to entourage all, would Ire jircposterous. To be just, therefore, you must nut interfere, I'he attention of tho Government must no the directed to a single ob ject, Nineteen twentieths ol the people ul this country are engaged itr agriculture, and commerce, either di rectly or indirectly. Is it just then (npassa bill which .shall cramp their efftifts, nr lessen their profits, simply to benefit the remaining twentieth f Sir, said Mr. T. this is a mutter oi loo serious con-ideratioii lobe disre garded by this Committee. Gentle men may deny the f-ct of injury to to these interests. They may make long spcecnes in iliis House,and write long tl-calies out hf it. But they will orgue sod write in voin. I assert the fuct'of injury', nnd I do so iffion the very best ground. 1 call upon gentlemen to snew me a siugl empire, and enjoying, in cvUrv por-i he, tl.ut dependant upon t marke-, lie tom ol it, plenty, if not opulence I j die Ha.fo simply of your families, that Why should we change our policy ?

No, sir, the only pro fs to the contrary are tu he found in tlie teeble winnings and liimsy arguments of some. of these yery manufacturers themselves. Fuss such an abominable bill as Ihis, and dejjjjjd'upon it, sir, a whole nation will th trader disapproba tion in your ears. I say alniminubie, and hope that 1 may he permitted tu pronounce it so. Thuse who knew me, know that 1 am not inclined to he per sonally offensive upon improper occa sions. It is not my fault, sir, (said Mr. T.) if, ill condemning the fruit, the goodly churaetbr of the tree also should be supposed to be implicated. Tht agricultural jiortiuns of our coun try, ns well as tlffe commercial; have not been silent on this subject. They have frequently laid before you then- strong protests against tlie system up held by this bill. And are we to dic tate to (licin yriiat measures shall be adopted to promote their own interests? If our community could be compared to a family Of children, ignorant of their own good, and incapable of pro viding fur their own wants, then indeed it might he well enough to stretch forth the parental care of the government. But, as freemen, we must acknowl edge that our government is founded upon a contrary principle, IVe think the people capable of managing their own concerns. UurgoverimiUht is an agency, not a guardianship. He Would grant that it is the only govern ment established upon such a princi ple- But it is no less true on^hat ac count. Let the people, therefore, ufouc. When they find they cannot live by agriculture or commerce, let them try something else. But he en treated they might be allowed to do as they please. II they prefer the plough tu the shuttle, or the spude to the needle, why, in Heaven’s name, let them alone. It is not necessary iu order lhat all their wants might be supplied, and all their interests be de fended, that gentlemen should gra ciously interfere, to compel a part to leave the active pursuits of husbandry for the purpose of sitting cross-legged upon a tailor’s board.' Depend upon it, sir, (said Mr. T.) the people of this country are sharp-sighted enough to do-whut will conduce to their benefit. ■There is no nation in tlie world, hav ing, to an equal degree, the individual intelligence, enterprizej and calcula ting qualities of this nation. The people of this country will never ex tend their industry in any direction further than they may find it condu cive to their profit. If then the inter ests of the country are arrayed in op position to this manufacturing scheme, why should we attempt to aid its oper ation ? When it becomes the interest of this nation to become a manufactur ing nation, then will the object of gen! tleinen he accomplished-. Gentlemen must wait until this natural effect is produced by the natural cause. It is idle to attempt tb force it* You might us well attempt to compel from the tree, the production of its fruit at an immaturity ofagt-s when nature forbids Where, sir, (said Mr* T.) is the ne cessity of taking any step at all on tnis subject r Wly are we attempt ing an innovation upon the system which wisdom ha- hitherto pointed out to us ? Loot at tliis nation—in infun- y indeed—yet with all the strength of manhood—the growth of hut a lew i degree unexampled in history? 'And is this entirely qtt- ing lo any great superiority of ouh cU matqor our soil ? Is France, iq. Eng land, is Italy, unblest in these purlieu hit's ? No, sir; but France, England and Italy, want the happy influence of our free government,' -and’ tlie bright sunshine of our liberal policy. Wo have none of their restrictions—none of their monopolies, and none of their aristocracies, that feed like a danker upon Hie prosperity of their people. Adopt, however, the system proposed, nnd, (said Mr. Ti) it requires mfpro- pliet. to predict, that, in' a few J^arSi yrm-will have each of those; evils; Imfi then your prosperity will be withered, and your country will bo ruined. (De pend upon it, sir, (said Mr, T.i) we cunnnt, witli safety, attempt the diver sion, by artificial means, of a part of tho stream of labor, tvitiwut material ly aflecting the depth and forcU and Utility of the whole stream. We must have an eye to the general inter ests of tlie country, otherwise, we sha|! find ourselves like Spain, with the ma terials of wealth in our possession, yet poor, degraded, and impotent: Give space for the activity of every branch of industry, and we may llouriah—sUin- it it, and tve must decay. Enterprise is the very soul of industry, hutehler- prize must be unshackled; it bust move through yoilr country as free as tlie winds, that visit it. It is not. nccossiiry for olir prosper- ity) Ihafwe should become a manu facturing people Why should „ different pulicy be pursued by nation, from that pursued by individuals in society ? Does every man weave -is own stuff', and make his own coat ? Does he tan his own leather, anil- H ike his own s|mes P No, Sir, we all gain by interchanges of labour. To flourish as a nation, we need not do every thing. Let us furnish materi als—let others 'lubricate them. With them mechanical labor may be,cheap ■r. With Us the agricultural pursuit maybe the most profitable. (,ct us, therefore, employ them as oftr mechan ics. In regard to the application ol mechanical labor, said Mr. T.i have my doubts if we ever can cupO wllh. Irani. Foreign, i. e. European nations, have a surptOs population. ThU/br not the case with us, and will hot lie as long as We shall have iinmeoie forests sti|l waiting for the axe of the husbandman, Mr, T. remarked, lhat it Wat the common cant of the day to call every ie» in favor of manufactures, an act in promote domestic industry. Such a title was imposing; and Hit Hough men of sense and discrimination were not tn be won by names hud titles, yel -nill, witlf (he mass of tho people, such ari ilea was calculated to pro duce a feeling favorable to the bill.— Gcniletnen, said he, would make us believej that a portion of the industry of the country had been slumbering fir years past, and lhat it had been i iiusi d into action by their exertions T is is not the Case. Their exertionsi at test, only tend to give a new dtivc tion lo industry, It is taking from one class lo add to another ; it is per- tapsmaking, nr, (if gentlemen prefer me term,) ihanuficturlng a sickly manufacturer nut uf a sturdy hdsbaud n n. Keep'away the inducements which you would hold out; and you leave to i’s tree exercise the -industry <d the one class ; hold them out, amt you enoourage the labor of the other. In either case ('taking the correctness uf tlie position as granted) and you fl id domestic industry exercised — The only difference is in the subject ol its application. MV r. was also opposed to the bill rroln :'s oppeemve character. The imposition of protecting dunes operates as a bounty to manufaet\ii-es. Now, Sir, said lie, the cun- ,timer, In every instance, pays tliisamonni. tVliere be consumes doinrstic articles, he pa..sit to the manufacturer i end, in addi tion to tliis, he is saddled with the expense ofthe;Government, And, who, pruy Sir, an* the. consumers ?

Is not Uin tyrannyri Yes Sir, and tyranny ol the must Bhamefu! kind! I'he creation of llii-se manufactories by legislative attt, and the forcing, as it were, Ihis daA upon-our national community, was as odious in his now, an‘das grating tallis feelings, as would he the quartering and distriku'ion of a mi Idary body aUiong n peaceable communi ty. In either instance the feelings of the community are in opposition. In eithei instance their integrity ia violated, their comforts are curtailed, and their interests are assailed. Both cases are equally ab horrent to our nature as freemen Mr. T, also thought every i rinoiple of policy was opposed to the bill tinder eon* sideratiori. A strong reason against one of the principal features in the System P 1 o- posed, is, that all competition in the mar ket would be destroyed, consequently, the purchaser wpul-.l be at the mercy ol the seiler. It does really seem to mci said Me T. that sume gentlemen, when acting in Ibis Hall, are entirely f" getfnlnfthe plain common aensc principles which govern them ■ home, lint only in Ilnur private Im! d ..ap,clues, but us nr mbi-rs at or, In abort, tn any i'mfttflfinlrjHr f Would you not strrnunusly opjinse aucli an II'! rangomem, and, in .short. ,h no) the regu lations nf ail your markets, strictly guard against such a monopidy, and even go so far as to prevent persons from purchasing any considerable quantity of articles, so as to materially affect the influence which a competition would produce l And, iu the name nf common sense, (there is the d f- ference in ibis case f The principle ia tlie same.

There is no essential difference in 'the two esses which I have j it -t assimilated lo each other. \ lip subject lo which you apply the principle for which I contend, if precisely the same ilf its character, only differing in e.n tu— the one is a small cumipmuMh the ntlicr a large one—-he one a city, the other a nap lion. -j ■ Mr, T. sniff, that he confessed he did not wish to see the maaiilkctiirmg interest thrive to any great extent in this country, ttvaiifit couhl do to m hout tlie aiiiotnilcd of the'gmc. nment. The -history-of Eug- l:,t,d. and the little experience tie have had in this country, sene to convince^ns that the benefits ofainfh an interest is con fined to a very few. - they reach not tlie muss.of individuals employed in the pur suit, but are cuiifmed to a few, a very fro? cnpiinlieie.

Apopuha lion, in short, as slavish, in reality as lie negroes of the Southern States.— The gentleman from N. Jersey, (Mr, Holcombe,) appears to think differ, eritl y. He seems to regard this class of the community with singular res pect,. He tells you (hat New Eng.. land is, and has for some lime past been, a manufacturing nation; he re pels (what he deems) the foul asper sion cast upon a manufacturing ruin 1 niunity, and he poinis,as in triuitipi'i to the achievements of the gallant Hull!. Sir, said Mr. T. I lully sym- • psthise wilh that gentleman in the ,- feelings which he pours forth, arid the admiration which he expresses in re gard to this distinguished warrior. But, let me ask the gentleman, dock , lie expect In find a Hull— 1 dues he ex pect to find a hero of this gigantic mould within the sickly circle of a manufactory? No sir.
