PROROGATION OF PARLIAMENT.
The business of Parliament was yesterday fi
nislied, and this day the Prorogation took place
Tike C unmissinners appointed by his majesty
| for this purpose were the lord chancellor, tlu
| < arl of Liverpool and lord Walsingham. The
! following is a correct analysis of his majesty’s
speech, as delivered by bis commissioners, to
both bouses of parliament
His majesty states, that, the business of the
hi ssion being concluded, be lias thought proper
to hring it to a close. His majesty then congra
i tuktes both houses upon the capture of Gaud*
I loupe, an event which for the first time in the
I history of Great Britain, has deprived France of
; the last of her possessions in the West Indies :
; and also upon the subsequent capture of the
j Dutch possessions in the same quarter of the
globe ; a* quisiliuns which must inevitably de
prive the enemy of all further means of annoy
ance to our daily extending commerce
In the speech to the house of commons his
j majesty thanks them for *he supplies which they
J have so liberally granted for the services of the
year ; and while h« regrets the continuance of
the arduous struggle in which we are engaged,
he congratulates lire country on the daily increasi
ot our resources, and revenues, from the unpre
cedented extension of our com nerce to all parts
ol the world ; a circumstance which happily ren
ders the imposition of new burdens or fresh tax
ation woolly* unnecessary.
His majesty next alludes to the modifications
and regulations which have been adopted during
the session, respecting the revenues of Ireland
as having relieved that country from the pr ssure
of many burdens, without losing sight of a due
regard to the necessary receipts from taxation
His majesty thanks the home of commons for
their liberal provision made for tbc duke of
lii utiswii k.
His majesty next congratulates botli houses of
parliament that Portugal lias been rescued from
the grasp of the enemy by the strenuous efforts
of his majesty’s army, aided by the exertions of
the Portuguese nation, and that Spain, notwith- !
standing the many reverses of fortune she has
experienced, still maintains her resistance to the j
invader with an unabated spirit of x al and per- I
severance.
His majesty then assures both houses of parli
ament that In* deems it equally for (lie honor of
his crown ami the inteiests of his k ngd..m, to ,
continue his fi:m and unshaken support of both
these- loyal lations.
His majesty concludes by recommending to the
mini tiers of both houses of parliament to exert
thcm.-elves. during the ensuing recess, in their
respective counties, in propagating a spirit ofu
nanimity and concord with obedience to order
and the laws, as the only me.ans of enabling his
m-jtsty to give eflect to his exertions in the
continuance of the arduous struggle in which
we are engaged ; anil while Ins majesty thus
exhorts both housi-s of parliament, lie assures
them trial his conduct will ever be regulated by
these dictates ; a line of conduct whieh his m.<
j'-Hty’s long reign, and the general loyalty of his
subject* has convinced turn, is best suited to cna
ble him to meet the foreign enemy with eflect._

Mr. Brouillette arrived here yesterday
from the prophet's town, where he has been
for the last two months The information
he bring , is, that the prophet’s designs have
been, as far as lie can ascertain, entirely
La filed for the present by the defection of
the tribes mentioned in cur last; but that
lie is confident his enmity against the U. S.
remains the same as ever. That the ac
count of the number of warriors which he
| had sent to the governor some time since, as
| being under the direction of the prophet,
(viz. 3000) and was probably exaggerated,
was received from the prophet biniseif.
That sinc e the defection created by the De I
U wares, there does not appear to him to be
mere than six hundred and fifty immediate,
ly about him. That another deputation had
arrived on the 23d inst. from the Delawares
and that the speech they delivered had great
ly enraged the prophet.
Mr. Broulllette is of opinion that there is a
constant communication between s< me pef_
*..n in Vincennes and the prophet. Thisap.
pears to he probable from the following cir
cumstance—When Mr. ttrnuillette was coni
•ng off, the prophet made him a declaration
concerning the governor, which a respects.,
hie gentleman in this town heard also (in a
conversation between some persons of this
town) some days bctoic it was communica
ted by the prophet to Btouillctte.

This paper will be devoted to the expo
sition of the cane, fruit and grain distille
ries and breweries of the U .Suites: a great, 1
important, increasing and imperfect branch
of American manufactures.
It is stated to Congress, in the report of
the 17ih of April by the Secretary of the
Treasury, that our grain and fruit distille
ries made, so long ago as 'he year 1801, a
bout nine millions of gallons of spirits. The
dis illeries from foreign molasses & coarse
sugars produced, in addition about three
millions of gallons. The foreign spirits im
ported, in each of the years 1806 and 1807,
when foreign molasses bad tailed, ware*
nearly ten millions of gallons. Our malt
liqu -is are nearly equal to our consumption
for we import only 185,000 gallons, and the
cider and beer exported under the proper
names,* are 187 000 besides sea stores.——.
Our breweries are a source of real, steady
and great profit. Foreign spirits are greatl>
advanced in p- ice.f
1 WO things then appear within our pow I
er in the business of these common drinks :
first, to improve the quality, and ski
condi.y, to increase the quantity. Apple
orch.ods are known to be very profitable in
the U. States, by them we can increase
the good old farmer’s manufacture—Ameri
can cid■ r ; and we can furnish a raw mate
rial for the distillation of apple brandy,
which when well made and ripened by
keeping is an excellent spirit. To this may
lie added peach orchards md pear orchards,
for the manufactory o» peich brandy and
perry, or /tear cider. These liquors are su
pel ior to the Spanish brandy and French
rum, and to the Teneriffe, Fayal and other
inferior wines.
Among the means of supporting the agri
culture of this country, it is believed that
there is none more sure, more easily practi
cable, nor more, extensive than the manu^
facturing out of our canes, orchards & grain,
substitutes for the foreign beers, cider and
spit its, and even for bail wines which we
import and for the spirits made from impor
fed moiass-s. The quantities of foreign
spirits, at 10 millions of gallons, of beer at

Philadelphia July 17, 1610. I
I have procured for'he public u*e,wi'hin
twelve months, a considerable quantity of
an imperfect imitation of the Russia drilling
or ticking. A sample of the genuine Russia
hempen article, is inclosed for close uttenti
on. The strength of w tcr-roited hemp is
such, that although plain or nnlwillcd hemp
cn Russian linen, called raven's duck, will
answer well the public purposes, 1 am nt
('pinion, that any Colton sonstitute ongh to
b. of the best twill, I wish the twill to lie
exactly that ol Russian hempen drilling
which can be found in all our linen store'.;
because for many years that article has been
worn in America, and considtied as of mi.
equalled goodness. It is a Very great object
in llic public supply, as well as in that of
families, and, indeed, with a view to ex
partation, that such American cotton drjl
ling should be gradually imp.uvrd and per
lected. It is applicable to a great number
o! useful and necessary purp ses. Then
I val plain aiUcd, raven's duck, u abundant
185,080 gallons, and of spirits distilled from
foreign sweets, may be safely computed at
14 millions of gallons. These being often of
t airth and other high proofs, would require
above six millions of bushels of grain to sup
ply the distillers, (and more would be requi
rtd to make beer,) who should he employed
ui manufacturing American spirits to sub
stitute for foreign. This quantity of grain
js greater than that, which would be re
quired to make all the wheat flour we ever
exported in a vear !! The nations who
scandalously injure our rights, would lose
the supply of our flour, the sales of their
spirits ami molasses for distilling, and often
the freight of both : and their navies and
privateers would lose the opportunity to
plunder our property. So far M'* the cane,
our new and valuable acquisition could sup
ply coarse sugars and molasses, the Louisi _
ana planters would reap the benefit Fro n
the sugar plantations on the gulpli of Mexi
co to the orchards of the northern and eas
tern stales, nearly all the American culti
vators might share in the supply of the raw
materials, whether cider, or spirits or beer
should tie cnosen for the drink of the consu -
mer.
It will not be useless nr imperrinen? to,
the public interes s In entreat the m*- n n
of the learned practitioners of the, heat ug
art and other philosophers to this so ,ject
It is for them to inform us by what domes.,
tic American substitutes we can, in our val •
rious climates, most beneficially stur out
the poison of any particular foreign hquor.
The medico'ed porter of G. Britain, as our
physicians can demonstrate is far less whole i
some than the pure extracts of hops and 1
gram, which compose our whole tribe of
beers. Foreign liquors are often adultcrat- '
ed Toe abundance of our ingredients or <
raw materials exempt us from the tempta. *

A method to give a body to our fermented
liquors, after tlv maimer of the Madeira '
and Sherry wines, which will enable us to
keep them sound in ullage casks and in un
corked bottles, is worthy ot the considera
lion of the learned, able and patriotic cby
mist.

The breweries of Europe afford us the
sure and easy means to extend our present 1
stock ot information in that very useful art 1
and trade. The domestic brewery, orAow#e_*

The vast consumption of inferior low pric. '

considerable attention on this occasion. The
wines imported into the United States are
about two millions ot gallons per annum.
Some are reshipt. As before observed per-1

would have a tendency to diminish the use

at present in the American market, contra.

upon a credit, at 14 dollars 20 cents j* -
piece of 37} yards. Its utility for light
sulis, hammocks, marquees, tents, knap,
sacks, waggon covers and other purposes re
quiring strength, occasion plain hempen
Russian linen (raven’s duck) to he more in
trituically valuable than the twilled cot*mi
drilling of Europe or America. It is much
to bedesired, that the manufacturers would,
make very careful experiments of a niimbet
of yards of undted and unbleached cottnu
drilling, precisely 27 inches wide, of twist
chain and twist tilling, of the inclosed twill,
and weighing seven or tight ounces to toe

Col. Burr’s visit to Paris, has for its
jer.t to submit to the French executive a.
project for disuniting the American S tos
and tor other measures of effectual hostility
in the event of a rupture between the t m>
countries Mr. Burr communicated his plans
to our government logo her with his new
of the means necessary for their execution ;
a' the same time announcing hisdctenrlina
t ion of applying to France, in he event of
his proposals here being rejected. A.Plough
the state of our relations with A nevica,
mortifying and precarious ns they long have
beeu, haidly entitled the United States to
that delicate consideration on our parts
which lias been observed towards them, we
think ministers lioiiestlv .sustained the cha
racter of the empire in foregoing a probably
advantage, rather than clandestinely culti„
vote a s\s!em of hostility, while they pub
licli profess their desire for peace. Bona
parte s policy is not hampered by like c >n
alterations ot honor ir consistency. IfBurr*s.
agency can conduce to the advancem o ,f
his vi, ws towards America, lie will doubt
less use it.
