I the in annf.tpt.ilre of cotton were a mystery i on fined to & few', there might be found ition for the ohjiietioo; But the fact is, the oiau jufactire is simple, machme-mrkera greatly ximl’iplied, ..ml the manufacture is now ac tually spread over more than half of the U. State*. It b tg.nn ia the east, has spread to the vest, and has uow actually passed the Knouutdins. Instead of concert to raise pri ces, competition and the spirit of undersel ling prevails to such an extent, that sales Are oftc ra >de without any profit. Justice to different portions of tlie Union, and the harmony of the whole, require the encouragement of manufactures.

The re linquishment of the port duties by the nrt>- end middle states, to the amouut of nearly tthree-fourths of the customs, by tbeadop tionoftbe constitution, creates an f-quit a hie claim to such an adjustment of the du Xifs, aa shall favor and protect the interest ‘ of those stales. The amount of duties* row proposed on ©ottons and woollens, will be found, on ex amination, to be less than the average oi the specific duties. The reason of the for eoer low duties on woollen? and cottons, wu fi>3 found iu the consideration that at tha time the manufacture biid not been so anj degree established in the United States,— Had the ik tnufttctii?e been established to tliie extent it is now, instead of the lowest, a much higher rule, of duiies weald Lave keen imposed. From the Richmond Compiler. RUSSIA. A fact has come out, which is Calculated to shed some light on the politics oi Europe, viz. —A treaty formed in January, 1815, between Austria, Prussia, and a third power, said to be Great-Brit ain, u the stipulations, of which are said to be intended as guaran tees against Russia.”—The ty is not yet disclosed ; and the British Ministers seem very shy upon the subject.—Wiih some reason For Russia will not like to discover, that she has been watched and suspected by her al lies, and that their anxieties had gone So Far ak to be embodied into’ a treaty of guaf antee. Her attach - ment for them may possibly cool These precautions, however, are prophetic.—The lime must come, when Russia will be felt & feared through Europe. Her wide spread territory, her swarm ing and hardy hordes, will strike more terror, than Bonaparte has ever done. Had Poland been regenerated, she would have served as a bar rier against the northern inva ders.—But instead of being a check, she is now an auxiliary province. She swells the horrent of the power which she ghtto have resisted. (, ’ , It was lately the cry, Eu rope was to be restored to tne sit uation in which she was placed before 1793—France, indeed, is •-educed—she is stript of Italy h Belgium—but Russia is aggran dized, and by the very powers who entered into the treaty ol guarantee-*-while Poland is com pletely struck out of ihe map of Europe-—France, it is true, has her legitimate government, be uuseit was the rule of hereditary ungs—but Poland, has lost eve rything she had before ’93 ; noi i vestage ofindependence is left; not a shadow of her former gov ernment, because it was some thing of the elective form. Russia, then, was strong b - re —She is now stronger. Sh£ lias the Poles to aid her.—Her ewn people are brave in battle-—in the last three years they have proved their valor, every where, in the fields of Russia, and in the cam i paigns of Germany. T o their in trepidity and perseverance £u- ] rope ought to ascribe the destruc- j lion of the power of Bonaparte. 1 They only want discipline to make themirresistable.—— kt The Rus sian soldier is brave Little page used to say ;)rione are bra ver ; but let the enemy’s line yield in the slightest degree, and a prospect of booty be presented to the Russian soldier, he is un governable ; his officer is no ion ger heard ; subordination no lon ger respected; on all sides the line is broken* and a dexterous ■*nemy avails himself of the cir cumstance to snatch the victory rom the Russian standard.” These defects will be suppli ed. The Russian Emperor will invite into his dominions the arms and arts of civilized Europe.— With a liberality arid discernment which places him far above the other potentates, he is taking ex iled genius by the hand and lead ing it to his home, Carnot has already gone The military de partment will be penetrated by the rays of the intellect. Soult is said to be on his way. It is thus that when a great country is bro ken up, a wise neighbor knows how to profit of its calamaties or follies. When the Edict of Nantz *f|is revoked, France lost her Manufacturers, and the rest of Europe gained them.—Another proscription now exists in France, not for religion, but for politics— she is losing her great men—anr America and Russia will receiv Them. Lacepede and Chapta will bend their steps, it Is hoped, i to this land of liberty; while Soult and Carnot will -repair to Kus sia, Alexander ha's too much sagacity not to encourage men. whom the circumstances oi the times induced to vote against their King, and to whom the prej udices of the ultra royalists would deny a resting place in the we st of Europe. # Amongst the other transactions of the day, we are struck with the union of a Russian Princess to the Prince of Orange. Who knows, but that the speculation* of the quidnuncs are correct and that Alexander does destine his brother-in-law, at the first mo ment of convulsion, to the throne of France ? His reception of the French exiles, their connexion with the friends whom they have left; the solicitude of many of the French people to rid themselves of their foreign usurpers, may hereafter form the elements of a convulsion, which may shake the embecile Bourbons from the throne which they disgrace Trea ties of guarantee may still be of some consequence, BANK Os the State qj G o r gia. m AT a meeting of the commis sioners at Savannah, on the 25th of March, 1816, EesoheCi f That the secretary give notice in one at least of the gazettes of Savannah, Augusta, Milledgeviile, Washington, and Athens, that an election will br held for Nine Directors of the Bank of the btaiV of Georgia, at Savannah,on the first Monday ( in May next, bAng the bih day • of the month, at the Exchange hail in said city, from the hour of let to one o’clock, and from three v five o’clock of that day, agreeahh to the provisions of the charte incorporating said bank, of v/hici the stockholders are required tc take due notice.
