it is inferred from a compar ison of ah
the facts which have been communi
cated, with the population of the U. S.
(estimated at six millions of white uud

1 lie manufacture of cards and wire
13 intimately connected with this part
of the subject.. Whittemore’s ma
chine for making cards has completely
raided foreign importations of that
art'cle. It w ll appear by the commu
nication (t£.) that the capital employed
iu that br.iuch may be estimated at
203.000 dollars ; and that the annual
consumption amounted till lately to
20.000 dozen pair of hand cards ami
20.000 square feet of cards for ma
chines, worth together abour 200,000
dollars. The demand oflast year was
t nuole that of 1808, and is still rapidly
euc easing. But the wire itself is al
togetht r imported, and a very serious
ire; nveniertcy might arise froat any
r- ( iil.ittnn whirl) would riirrk or tire.
Yint the exportation from foreign
CiuntritM*. It apptars however, by
the communication (I.) that the manu
facture may and would be immediate
ly established so as to supply the de
i..and both for cards and other objects,
provided the same duty’ was imposed
on win*, now in ported duty free,
which is laid oil other articles made of
the same material. The whole amount
oi wire annually used for card*, does
ri,it at present exceed. 25 teas, woith
about 40,000 dollars.
il A f 3.
The annual importations of
for* igu ha*s amount to £> 350,000
Th<* annual exportation of
Amrrican huts, to 100,000
The domestic manufacture is there
fore nearly cqu;.l to the home con
sumption. The number made in the
stav o* Massachusetts is estimated by
the hat company of Boston, at four
time* the number required for the con
r uii.ption of tne state ; and from other
iir.h nnation it would appear that in
l1. t ir.iU: al ine, the capital appleJ to
tU« t b iwch is near 3 000,000 of
dofla.r*, the number of persons em
ployed awout 4000, and the number
oi hats annually made 1 550,000; of
w .!»-.** 1,130.000 arc fir.v hate, worth
t o i;u average four dollars each, and
400,000 felt hats, worth one dollar
each. That the manufacture is still
profitable appears from a late esta

MANUFACTURES OF HEMP.
The annual importation* of foreign Hemp
amounted to 6,200 tons. But the inter
ruption uf commerce has greatly promo*
ted the cultivation of that article in Mas.
sachusetts, New York, Kentucky and se
veral other places and it i* believed that
a sufficient quantity will in a short lime
be produced in the U. 8.
The manufacture of ropes, cables and
co.dage, of eveiy description, may be
considered as equal to the tletmnd, the
exportations of American manufacture
for 1806 and 1807 having exceeded the
average of 6,500 quin'uls and the im
portations from foreign ports having fallen
short of 4 200 ditto.
Exclusively of the rope walks in all
Ibe sea-port*., there are 15 in Kcntecky
alone, which consume about 1000 tons
of hemp a year—-and 6 new works were
in a state of preparation for the present
year.
The manufactures of sail duck farmer*
iy established in Rhode l.faud, in Con
nect cut and at Salem have been aban
doned or suspended, partly on accountol
the pticc ef hemp, snd partly for want o!
capeal. Some i» still made ; and the spe
cies of canvas commonly called co’ion
b'ggmg. is now mar,ufactored in various
places on an extensive scale. An cstab*
bailment at Philadelphia employ* eiglt
• '•uiioj uuu uu iiium: suuuAiijr t r
yards of duck or 45,000 ya.d* of culton
tagging. There are 13 maoufjfitorics in
K: iilucky, and two in Wes* Tennessee.
The five at or near Lexington, make an.
nually 250,0*0 yards of duck and ootiuu
bagging.
RPIRITUOXJS 8c MALT LIQUORS.
The duly on licenced stills amoun ed in
1801 to 372 000, and, *n account of omi».
vons, might be estimated at 4SO.OCC
dollars. As the duly actually paid on the
spirits distilled in those stills did r.et or
an average exceed 5 cents per gallon
| the quantity of spirits distilled that ycai
from grain and fruit (exclusively of lh«
large Gin distilleries in cities) must havt
amounted to about 9 millions of g«llon<
ai.d may at present, the manufacturing
having increased at least in iht^same ra.
Ho as the population, be estimated at 13,.
i 000,000 of gallons. To this must be ad
ded abou. 3 000 000 of gal! ns of gi i ant
rum disnlled in cUies'w.making an uggre.
g ite of 15,000 COO of gallons.
The iinpodaiionsof foreign spirits art
nevertheless very considerable, having a.
mounted during the years 1806 and 1805
to 9 750,600 gallons a year, and yielding
3 n* t a-uutri revenue to the U. b. of 3,865,
000 dollars.
The quantity of malt liquors made ir
the Unfed Slates is nearly equal to then
consumption.
The annual foreign im*
porUtivns amount only to 185,000 gallops
And the annual exporta.

j IRON Sc MANUFACTURES OF I

The information rcceiv. d respc£linj
that important branch is very imperfect
j It is however well known fhat iron on
{ abounds, and th.«t numerous furnaces an<

of hollow ware, and of castings 01 cvsi]
<Kscnp.ion i but about 4.500 tom of oa

and probably an equal quantity from Svvec

timae states the amount of bar iron an
1 nually uaed in the United States, at fill

: i red there equal io any imported, it is i
i be regreued that from the great dt-m*n<
: and from want of proper aucniiou in th

* Iron is brought to market. On that «c
1 count the Want of the ordinary supply <
KoMian Iron has hten felt in tome of ih

I duclioo of ibe duty on Russian iron i

which has now extended throughout the
whole country, atil being altogether tu
American invention, substituting machi
nery to manual labor, deserves particular
nonce. The details on that subj*. 61 will
be tound in the communication* (L) and
(M)— audit w;il be sufficient heie to state,
that the annual product of that b anch a.
lone, nv*y be estimated at twelve bundled
thousand dollars, end that exclusively of
the saving of fuel, the expense of man*
ufa&uring cot nails i* not one third part
of that of forging wrought nails. About
two hundred and cigh.y tons are already
annuahy exported, but the United Sla es
con’inoe to import annually more than
fifteen bundled tons of w;ought nails and
spk.es. An increase of du*y on thesej
and a drawback on the exportation of the
cut nails is generally asked loc«
A considerable quantity ot blistered, and
some refined steel, are ru-.de in America*
bat the foreign importations exceed II,
OMcvU a year
The manufactures of iron consist prin
cipally of agricultural implements, and ol
all the usual work performed by common
blacksmiths. I’o these may be added an.
chors^ shovels end spade*, axes, scythes, 6c
other edge tools, saws, bus and stirrupsj
and a great variety of the coarser article!
of ironmongery—but cutlery an l all the ft*
ner species of nardware and of s*eel workj
are al.ncst altogether imported from Great
Britain. Ball*, shells, ancl cannon of sm tN
caliber are cast In several places—and
three foundartes for casting solid, thus*
of the largest caliber, together with tht
proper machinery for bormg and finishing
them, are established at Cecil county,
\«*_. I *._I «-fl.A f \\r .ohlnnf^n It
at Rlcnmond, in Virgmia=«ach ol tne twt
last may cist 103 pieces ot artillery a year
and a great na nber of iron and brass can
non are made at that near the seat of go
vernment. Those of Philadelphia ant
near the Hudson river, are not now enn
ployed. It may be here add-d, that tlun
are reveral iron tounderics tor casting ever]
species of work, wanted lor machinery, ant
that steam engines are made at that o
Philadelphia.
At the two public armouries of Spring
field and Harper's terry, 19,000 niu-ket;
ate annually made, icbout twenty thou,
sand more are made at several tact ones
of which the most perfect is said to b<
that near New Haven, and which, will
the exceptional that erected at Richmoic

Swords and pistols arc also maimlactarec
in several places;
*• Although it is not practicable to makt
a correct statement of the value of all the

to b« from twelve to fifteen millions of dol.

, foreign countries, including bar iron, anc
every description of manufactures of iroi
1 or steel, are estimated at near four million
of dollars.
Copper and Brass.
Rich copp*1, mines are found in Nev
Jersey, in Virginia and near lake Superior
but they arc Dot new wrought. The prin

those of stills and other vessel see!) ut th<

■ the committee beg leave to remark, luat
i from an examination of the sentence of ihe
' mi’itary court of enquiry, ordered at the re.
quest of Gen, Wilkinson, nnd of winch
Col. Burbeck was President, it appears, that
■ the tnhaGCo transactions ot Gen. W. at N*
■Orleans in 1789 and 1790const! uted ama.
'terial part of that enquiry, and that a copy
of an account current was laid before me
I said court by General Wilkinson and de.
signaled by No ■ — —.and srveral lettei a

I The committee then directed a subpoena

obedience to which Gen. W.iiimson sent to
the committee a packet of papers which
