(concluded. )
There is no branch oi American manti
facsures. more interesting to agriculture and
to the public defence than that of the work
ers on wood. It is computed at twenty mil
lions of dollars per annum by the Secretary
of the Treasury ; and as it is believed, with
out exaggeration. The list of military man..'
ulactures of wood is long and important.
Some of them are as follow: The hulls,
masts, spars, blocks, anchor stocks, boats!
&c ot public and private vessels <>f war ;
oars and sweeps, handspikes; gun carria’
ges and waggons; tomkm* ; pistol and gun
stocks ; sword handles; blocks of cartnuch
boxes ; canteens ; budge bairels; jack
screw stocks; grape shot stocks; packing
liquor and water casks ; mill woi k for mil
itary manufactures, £cc &c.
On the important manufactures of wood
depends in a degree the whole business of the
clearing and cultivation ot the earth by
ploughs, hoes, spades, shovels, axes, rakes
forks, scythes, sickles, &c. and the whole bu’
silicas of transportation within the country by
boats, shallops and carriages ; and the whole
business of the conveyance of our produce
and our supplies to and from the several
states and foreign markets. Without this
class of manufactures then, our lands, would
remain in a state of nature, our grain would
be uni raped, unfanned, uncleaned, unground,
unpacked and unmoved from our farms to
our ports, and from thence to our other ports
or those of foreign nations. Our vast man
ufacture of pot and pearl ashes, so important
to our own arts and trades, and so valuable
an article of our exports, belong to the wood
b, inch. Our packing casks, cases and box
es for the dry and liquid commodities and
o-ir woi k nen’s vats amount to millions in
number ; and without these argriCulture
would stagnate. Even the produce of fo
reign countries is brought to us in boxes and
casks made out of our own hoards, heading
staves and hoops. Not only the handles of
ali the instruments of husbandry, defence
and navigation, are made by ourselves >f
wo .d. bni those of the tool* and implements
>fthe useful and necessary arts and manu
faetdres ——A vast p .portion of the w <1
and Umber is the growth of our own lands
We are not willing to depend for gunstocks,
sword handles, cartridge bl >cks, gun car.
r-.ages, privateers and our ships ot war on
foreign manufacturers and transatlantic for
ests, We are rather ready to embrace, as
all important to the prosperity of the land
holder and the public defence,our shiphuil
ders.carriage makers, mill wrights,saw mil.
lers, carpenters, wood turners, coopers and
guns ockers.
The sketches which have been submitted
to the public consideration in these papers
may serve to manifest the re:d and growing
importance of the .American manufacturing
flurcfiaacrs to the landed interest, and to the
supplies of the army, the navy, the militia,
and the private ships of war. It may be
useful to offer here a recapitulation of our
manufactures, as they have been estimated
bv Mr. Gallatin in his official report of the
irth of April, 1810.
They are as follows
Manufactures of wood, as the
material g 20.000 000
do. of leather, as do 20 000 000
do. ot soap and tallow can
dies
8.000.000
do. of Spermaceti oil and can
dles
300 000
do. of refined sugar
000.000
do. of cotton, flax and wool
000 000
do of fur and wool hats
000.000
do. of spirituous and malt li
quors, exclusive <>f cider
10
, - _ 000.000
do. of iron 15,000.000 or 8 12,000 000
S 121 300 000
do. of paper, paste boards, printing and
book binding,
do. of hemp.
do of seeds, oils and glue,
do. of copper, brass and pewter,
do. of lead, including paint i s’ colors,
do. of tin. j spanned and plated wares,
do. of gun powder.
do. of starch, hair powder and wafers,
do. of earthen ware and glass,
do. of salt and refined salt petre.
do. of chemical preparations,
do. of straw and chip bonnets and hats,
do. of calicoes printed, &c &c
The value of these is not estimated, but is
very considerable.
When it is remembered, that in the first
year of our present beneficial and inestima
ble union, under the existing constitution of
the United States, we did r.ot export foreign
and domestic merchandize to the amount of
20 millions of dollars, we cannot but rejoice
in so grand an exhibition of American man
ufactures, as is above slated. If the thir
teen items not carried out, could have been
correctly estimated and added to the nine
preceding, our whole exports in the most fa
vorable year would appear very far inferi
or. Those exports are fluctuating and too
dependant upon foreign justice anil friend
ship. It is a part of the object of these
papers respectfully to show, that our actual
advance to a manufacturing system of 120
to 150 millions of dollars has given us A
«KKAT akd sure home market for
niHcn of our produce, exempting our crops
from foreign plunder and an odious taxa
tion, and a copious source of military and
private supplies, free from spoliation and
a scandalous tribute.
Having thus rapidly advanced in the bu
siness of American manufactures, and be.
INC IN REAL WANT OF RAW MATERI
ALS FOR EVERY BRANCH except that of

as Rhode Island has done, the cotton manu

and perhaps of cotton, to raisi madder’
wood and other dye stuffs, and more wool’
flax and hemp, and to draw forth our coal,’

auspicious birth of our present federal sys ,

most simple and necessary leather marm.
taciures, ha s, beer, ale and porter, cider
and perry, wares of the common and pre
cious metals, cabinet work carriages, im

various other articles from the countries of

Tne duties imposed tor the pub.ic revenue
and service, the freight, insurance, com
missions and other charges of exportation
from Europe, and of importation here, have
been, in effect, a sure and substantia! tiro~
lection to the American manufacturers-"
As to all the states north of ihc cotton court
try of United America, this real, very great
and indefeasible p< meeting advantage, has
occasioned all their raw materials to be
mauulnctured within ourselves This is
clearly proved by our large importations of
iron and steel lead, copper, zink, block tin
pewter, .irass. fi x, hemp, hides and skins!
madder and ati the wool we can procure
And not only do die middle and northern sec
lions ol the United States manufacture all
their own raw materials, but they have so
fully entered into the mill manufactory of
our southrrn and western cotton, that al
most every retail store in the ten middle and
northern or eastern states effect in every year,
more sales of cotton than of wool, fl ix and
hemp : and the state and vicinity of Kiiode
Island exhibit a water spinning cotton mill
in or for every township. The presence
then of this only redundant American and
southern raw material has produced these
pleasing and successful exertions in the in
teresting manufacture, amounting already
to one third of the whole value of the fo
reign manufactures imported into the Uni
ted States in the first year of the present
constitution; though the district winch in.
cludos these eastern cotton mills, does not
exceed a little oblong of sixty miles by for
ty at the utmost. The population of that
leading district of the cotton water mills,
is not one thirtieth part of the ten middle
and northern states. The present fi- m
footing of otrr co ton manufacture, and ns
fapid prngiess in profit a id perfection, can!
not. be dmb'ed Tne deep interest of the
southern cultivators hi our extensive and di
veiSin. d ninnufactoring operations has lie*

of those operations to public, military and

coipparably more important, even in times
of peace. But incalculable i« »h#*ir value in
this solemn crisis of human affairs, when
all the sons of Columbus are admonished by

Extract oj a letter from Liverpool, dated
6 h July 1810.
“ As the varied events, by which the com
mercial world has been so long, and so fre
quently disturbed, have at last given way to
la more general state of tranquility, we are
| enabled to address you with greater confi
dence, and toconvey more decisive informa
tion than we have had it in our power to
, communicate tor several months past. If
as we sincerely wish, the natural union tc
: which we have been restored, should remain
without lurcher interruption, n may, per
haps, be supposed that the fluctuations in
. onr in.uk.et, for the produce of America,
j will, when compared with more unsettled
| periods, be few in their number, and trifling
in rhcir extent. We may, however ob-ei ve,
that when any article has declined to whu
may be considered its standard value, or at
■ *he rate at which consumers have a himmo
pect ot realizing a moderate prc fi t there
will alwnys be found speculators ready to
t:»ke advantage of the opportunity, and their
eagerness to purchase induces the holder to
increase his demands. The prices in con
sequence continue to advance, until the but
ers become anxious to lessen the magni'ude
ot iheir stocks, and this desire frequently
urges them to press their sales, with so lit’_
tl< caution, as to cncrease tile e\il, which
they are endeavoring to prevent . & by this
routine, wi hout any external cause to war
ran: such opposite cx= reraes, the same eft; cts
are producecf, in a minor degree, whicli we
h tve witnessed, to an unprecedented extent in
thtf late eventful times. By these remarks we
would wish, if possible, to avert the disap
pnintments, to which our correspondents may
| . "able. in calculating upon that proeres
sive advance, which they might, in some in'
! stances, be inclined to expect.
| We have had a more animated demand
1 .for c?t,®n- during the last week, than we
have had experienced since the re opening
jotour intercourse with the U. S. But the
I dealers and speculators have been induced
I to come forward with confidence, owing to
, the prices being comparatively low, and to
the ree & regular demand for manufactured
go (is. hales to a very large amount nave in
consequence been elf cted, causing an ad
vance ol l_2d a 3 4<! per lb. which has hith
erto been chiefly confined to the superior des
criptions ot uplands and New Orleans_
I he principal part of the arrivals are still of
an ordinary and middling quality, and the
great scarcity of thosi k nds, which are well
cleaned ana ot good Colour, render them pro- i
purtiona-ely more valuabie.—A small pa rcl
ot unusually fi e uplands has realized 16 J

the market. We may quote uplands gem

ue,,,ana tor the manufactured article
continues m its present flourishing state it
^t ems reasonable to conclude tha, the prices
w.l not undergo any very serious altera ion ;
and unless the imports from America should
™ Ture abu,lt!ant than is generally anti
pa'.ed here, it is not improbable that a
trifling advance may be experienced. Our
supplies ot American cotton, since the coni
Svnnoh™1 °f!,hu prese,,t year- about
85,000 b.qjs and bales, of which Cl 000 have
been imported since the 1st of April, and of
these nearly 32,000 since the 1st of June.
so few sales of ashes hsve yet been ef
fected that their actual value is, in a great
measure, undetermined, as the purchasers,
“n. , r the expectation o' a further decline,
will make no offers to which the holders
are disposed to submit. Previous to the
opening of trade, our stocks of this article
had been very much reduced, but the im
portation since that period has amounted to
nearly 8.000 barrels, which is about the
quantity received in the 5 preceding months.
1 he nominal price of good Boston pots is 55s
a j7s, Ncw.\ork 53s a5Js, and pearls 5f,
a 55 . ; the crusted and inferior kinds do not
i ate higher than 4.5s a 50s per cwt. Their
tuture currency will be g .verned almost en
tirely by the supplies which may come for
ward, both from Canada and the Uni'ed
States, and should these be abundant, we can
scarcely expect that the present prices will
be supported.
“ Althoug.i we have no alteration to make
in the prices which we quoted for naval
stores, on the 16-h ult. yet. as the enquiries
° lat*» have ,>r,2n very numerous, both oo
speculation and from regular trade, the hol
ders are looking for an advance, whir.n to a
certain extent, there seems every probability
of their obtaining. Several sales of turpentine
have been made at 15* to 16s ; one small lot
of soft quality, has readied 16s 6d, andsimi
lar descriptions are now worth 15s 6d a 17s
per cwt. Good tar cannot be bought under
<,(>-. a 27s, 8c most ot the importers have con
tidently required 28s per hi I.
A e. have experienced a very brisk de

pears more anxiety on the part of »h» hn'tl< rs,
to realizr th-current prices With rt-sper to
our future prospects we may ( bserve that the
circumstances from which an inference might
be drawn, are in themselves too uncertain to
warrant any decisive conclusions We have
of late enjoyed some very seasonable rains,
which, if succeeded by a continuance °f warm
'nd genial weather will undoubtedly have
a very beneficial effect upon the crops ; but
still the accounts from the interior of the
co-ntry are unfavorable and iff>rd foo much,
cause to apprehend that the ensuing har
vest will prove deficient. Intelligence lias
r>lso been received, stating'hat a decr-e was
issued on the 22nd ult. bv which the further
exportation ol grain, from all the pons of
France, is prohibited from the 1st inst.—
W hat effect this circumstance may have up
on the London market, when the stock- there
become sensibly reduced, cannot he de:er_
mined : hut it may be supposed that so sud
den a defalcation in our far. ;gn supplies,
will have a considerable influence upon the
minds of the holders. From these causes,
united with the small stock of old wheat re
maining in the hands of the farmers, there
is a prospect that the shipments of wheat
and flour, which may in the mean time ir
nve from America, will meet with a fairde
