AllEttit:lN rit-AINUP:titftES: (FRobtTiti eitiisraurott COURANT) Tire following is an answer to two lettert scut . 03 :Phitallelphia and New York, for information on the 'state of their Manufactures ; we think it worth the attention of our Readers : , • You seem to be much alarmed with the state. of the Ame 14can ma.tinfactures, taken by order or Comcressi. 110 col lected and pnbliiibed by Tenth Coxe, bytheir orders Believe lift, that as an intereuurse is now np . cned with Britain and Europe, b' the peace, that statemeat will but prove a tomb stone. You lutist knOW,ttiat iti.making up that list of artielci Manufactured in'thelinited Slates, every yard of cloth or every pair of stockings Made by the housewife, and indeed every article made in pritate fdtiliiies, is, included. Ilpon the strictest inquiry, I find the Ameritan manufactures, not withstanding what is there pnblished, bear a very small pro portion to the wants of the United States, who are increasing rapidly in numbers, and more rapidly in riches. Here the fanner has no rent, taxes, or tithes to pay; and the wares Of the lamming classes are high, while provisions are cheap : hence they have a great that to lay out in clothing, &c. Yet it must he acknowledged, that during the war great progress was made in.beginoing to manufacture; and the Congress, in need of immediate supplies to pay the interest of the money borrowed, as well as ignorant of laying on taxes, and that judicious plan followed m Britain , doubled the taxes, year atter year, upon all goods imparted, the only tax then in being; by toliiiwing which easy method, goads that paid only 3 per cent. duty, and some 5 per cent. have been raised up to '20,30, and 33 per cent. But a- these taxes were to last only till twelve mouths after the ratification of the Peace, they will expire lith February, 1816; though it - ill probable the duties on goods imported will not be reduced so low as betore the war. It must also be observed, that in the States of New Eng laud, New York, and Pennsylvania, they'have made considers able progress in manuiiteturing of coarse and low-priced li nens ; in particular some common stout co ton goods; several articles in the vondlen branch; many in iron, coprr, tltc• together with crockety and glas • ware, have been made, and are exported to the southern States ; machinery, to go by water and steant, is also erected fir spinning cotton, sheep wool, /Lc. The late Qrders its Council, restraining the trade from supplying the British West India Islands, as before the war, with provisions, must oblige the faraiers iv pay more at tention to encourage manufactures,. ruin raise less provisions. Woollen cloth is manufactur d ta I IJy r farmers, in al the back settlements, as well as by those on the rivers Ohio and Ken tucky, for the family use ; a few sheep skins, an two or three row hides With(' for the use of the famiiy; this the Collec tors- appointed by Congress call a tannery; anti also mark .down evciy pair of shoes they make for their own use. In this way, Tench Cuxe's lists of the manufactures of the Unit ed Sfate‘ are swelled, and appears so conspicuous to the people of Britain. Though the Americans have, during the war, erected a few zranufactorics, owing to the plenty of raw materials and their numerous waterfalls, yet the high price of wages in a .country where the day-labourer gets a dollar and a half in mummy, And dollar in winter, per day—where land in time new states and back settlements can be bought from one to three dollars per acre--no man of common sense will ever think of turning; Manufacturer; and already has the immense importation of goods from Britain, ruined and stopped Many of those begun during the war. Indeed, nine out of ten of the tradesmen who emigrate from Enrope, after working a year or two at their trades, having made as much as will pur chase so or ion acres of land, leave it, arid folio* the more plea,ant and profitable exemcise of farming. It is the opinion of several whom I have consulted here, Ahat the following article; hate, amid will continue to he im sported from Britain, with profit, and pay even the present duties ; indeed, no other nation germs to be able to compete leith Britain in the markets of the United States : broad cloths front 7s. to 16s. per yard, and narrow in proportion ; .dannels and blankets ; you excel in all articles of woollen and cotton manufacture, for vests and breeches, and far %mitten'swear; also in iron, except heavy goods, for coaches, ploughs, carts, spades, axes, &c.; in cotton, except plain and twilled cotton cloth for linings, and plain fuslians; and linens, from Is. fki. per yard and upwardi. Almost the whole manufactures of Britain and Ireland (these already mentitmed excepted) have nothing to fear, as txtravagance and luxury are increasing so much in this coun try; for which, I may boldly say, New York and Charlestown, :South Carolina, are not exceeded by any town in Britain, Lon don and Bath excepted. You Will scarcely believe, but you may depend on the truth of it, that Congress, to pay the interest of the money burrowed in 1812, 181:1, aid 1814; had continued to double the taxes en goods' imported ; and in November 1814, to pay the interest of the money bOrrowed for 1815, actually laid taxes on sundry article's- begun to be manufactured by themselves, viz. on every cOttonattlill, paper-mill, every pound o: pig and bar iron, &e..4lpc: So'mu for the wisdom of Congress.

The revenues of Great Britain were, in 1813 to 1815, by the Chancellor of the Exchequer's statement, varied from 47 to 5i millions -; the re- Venues increasing in the latter years (this state ment exchtsive of the Property Tkx, which is esti- Mated to yield 13 to 14 milions annually.) In the publio declaration of the state of the Finances in February, before the return of Buonaparte from Elba, and before the least appearance of a war, Vansittart stated the probable I'eaee Esta blishment 18 to 1R,000,0001. annually, and might probably in a few years be reduced to 13 millions the revenue for the last quarter is reported to-ex ceed any one former three months by two millions of money. Extract of a letter from Leipsick of the 21st October Our Michaelmas fair has been a very busy one ; there were a number of buyers from distant countries, especially Poles, Gali cians, Greeks, and, contrary to expectation, Rus sians. A great deal of business . has been done, especially in silks, which article rose considerably b , loria the close of the market. Leather was much inquired after, and all that could be found was boueht up. Cloths, cottons, and the other produce of the Saxon looms, were well sold, al. though the competition _of the English - was still , injurious to them; the difference was not, how ever, so great as it bad been before, as the Eng lish did not sell at such low prices. It is now perceived, that the reason why the British sold their wares last year at so low a price, was not because they sought to ruin our Illiinufactures, but from their being under the necessity of con verting into money the prodigious quantity of goods which they. bad in their possession; iioi t a -ie.

THE THEATRES. DRURY-LANE.-The comic Ope'ra The Siege of Belgrade' was last night revived at this Theatre, before a very numerous audience. •This Opera is the production of Mr. Coßa, .a-Gentle man whose dramatic talents have often been ex erted for the gratification of the public, and whost character in private life is held in universal esteem. The Opera itself is an agreeable and interesting mixture of the humourous, the pathetic, and the ter rific, with such a portion of the extravagant as tl►e taste of the public requires, and such as is at least fully consistent with the general character of dranintic .probability. The piece had originally the pinveiful recommendation of admirable music from the late Mr. SToa.%CE, and the additional support of the chief theatrical strength of the Com pany at that period. ‘Vith these advantages it was highly popular in its first season, and with its intrinsic merit►, when well sustained by the performers, must always be an attractive drama. Miss Nisu was last night the Katharine, and she is one of the best that has been seen since the original representative, Mrs. CROUCH. She not only gave the Airs in a very impressive man , nor, but displayed more merit as an Actress,. than we augmed from her Polly or her Patty. She was deservedly much applauded. It was gratify. ing to witness the reception which attended RAY moND, in his first appearance this season, in Co , heaberg. He was received with several rounds of applause, and he supported the character in a very able manner. , HARLEY in Leopold, GATTIE in Yuseph, and particularly Miss KELLY in strongly contributed to support the piece. Mr. CooKE at least took pains in the Seraskici, and was somewhat less luxuriant in his vocal embel lishments. COVENT-GAUDEN.---The Tragidy of Percy was repeated last night at this Theatre, and was powerfully indebted to the exertions of Yotme, C. KEMBLE, Ali3l O'NEILL. The houss was nutueromly attended. BOX-KEEPERS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE St N. SIR,—As on obviously bestow partianlat at. tention on theatrical niatters you will ; perhaps, not think any thing that relates to truth, candour, and the accommodation of the Public beneath your notice. I observed lately in a Morning Paper two attacks on the Box-KEEPERS of the Thea tres-, in which they are accused of extorting money for vacant seats. 1 am old and a constant frequenter of the Theatres, and though I am very ready to confess that I have sometimes found au individual Who has been somewhat anxious for a fee, and rather too importunate to obtain it, yet 1 have not found this rapacious individual among the Box-KEEPEas, -but among those who keep the places. It may he justly urged, in defence of the Box-KEEPERs . , that the Public have a hull op portunity of doing justice to • themselves by ia- SpeCting a Register that lies open to the visi tors of the !matte, in which they may see by whom the seats have been taken. This Register is sent to the BOX-KEEPERS by those of whom the places are taken, and it is not in their power.to alter it. All they tan do is to secure the seats *till the end of the first act ; and then it is in their power to give notice to persons whom they know amid front Whom they may have received favours. Is there any great fault in such conduct ? But it is 100 often the fate of BOX-KERPERS to be assailed by proud, insolent, and drunken young men, by whom they are grossly insulted for protecting the places that have been taken. The BOX-KEEPERS in general are tnen who have seen better days, and, as far as I can judge, are never wantonly uncivil. Something too may be urged in defence also of the poor PLACE , .KEEPtris 5 for after having waited in expectation of the company by whoin the seats have been taken, they often tine that the party conies too late, rttitl they lose the expected shil ling, In such a case, considering that their pay is but small, is there any great crime in their re questing a trifle from those who obtain postession o f better, places ? The liberal manner in which your Paper has alwaYs been conducted, induces me to think Chas you Will Hot refuse admission to a candid vindica tion"f any class of your countrymen, however humble rhay be their rank . is society..

The Gipsies, without any ceremony, in a moment, took occasion to attack the soldiers ; and the ser— jeant of the party was much burnt with a red-hot poker, which the villains had previously heated for, the purpose. Several pertp!e of the town, who happened to be present, were likewise much injured.
