Encouragement and progress of American manufactures, with an attempt to estimate their value.
It is very much to be regretted, that it is impossible to act or write so as to avoid many errors of our own, and some misconceptions of others. The late papers on manufactures, have been understood by persons friendly to them, as holding out delusive ideas to foreigners. It has been thought, that the alleged exploration of manufactures, as a subject of our political economy, was intended to be called an exploration of the practised modes and means of carrying on the most complete manufactures of Great Britain . It has been erroneously conceived, that it was only desired to attach foreigners to them, though we find capital branches long and successfully conducted by natives. Citizens and foreigners hold the first respectability, and are eminently successful in various branches. The charges of importation, including our port duties, are explicitly held up as a principal encouragement. They amount to thirty per cent. or more, on the much greater part of the articles of importation and consumption. The following paper is republished to prove the particular encouragements which have been explicitly and fairly held forth:
"Circumstances in the United States favorable to our established manufactures, and to those which are daily arising, by means of American and foreign industry, skill, and capital."
1. The principal articles of raw materials, which are not produced in our country, are capable of importation free from duty.
2. The principle raw material, capable of water spinning, Cotton, is raised in the country to the amount of twenty-one millions of pounds per annum, and increasing by agricultural exertions, several millions annually!!!
3. Innumerable mill-seats, and immense bodies of wood for fuel, and as a source of charcoal, and great quantities of pit coal.
4. Iron ore, without limit, and of every quality for steel, for castings, and for the hammer.
5. Duties on all rival foreign manufactures, from 1 to 20 per cent. On grain spirits 28 cents per gallon. On beer and porter 3 cents per gallon. Nails 2 cents per pound, carpets 15 per cent. &c.
6. Great quantities of hides, skins, and fur; and foreign hides and skins capable of importation free from duty.
7. Many millions of acres of land capable of producing Indigo, Madder , and other dyes—the former of which is extensively raised. Foreign dyes free from duty.
8. No excise on beer, ale, porter, spirits, leather, soap, candles, sugar, or any other articles, foreign or domestic.
9. A universal disposition in the legislatures, the executives and the proprietors of the soil to encourage manufactures, as the surest and most effectual support of agriculture, and as auxiliary to foreign trade.
10. A surplus of 1,101,000 barrels of wheat flour for exportation, besides indian and rye meal, all which might be detained in America to feed new manufacturers here, instead of being shipped off, at a heavy loss to the farmer, to feed foreign manufacturers in Europe: also an export of two millions of pounds of bacon and hams, nearly three millions of pounds of butter, 1,673,000 pounds of cheese, and 145,000 barrels of beef and pork for the same purposes, besides many other excellent and wholesome articles of provision and supply.
11. The subject of manufactures is well explored, explained, considered and approved, by the people at large of the United States—who deem them indispensably necessary to their complete independence and prosperity.
12. The duties and charges of importation on linen or cotton goods (for example) no bulkier than Irish yard-wide linens of 15d sterling per yard, are equal at the lowest duty (of 12 1/2 per cent.) to 30 per centum on the European cost. Blankets and carpets and other bulky goods, and hollow goods come much higher.
13. A large body of manufacturers are actually existing in America, friendly to each other and to the foreigners daily coming to settle here, and they are united, fairly to withstand competitions with their rivals, the manufacturers, who shall continue to live in Europe.
14. A number of branches of manufac-
tablished, but they are capable of great variegations, improvements and increase by European machinery, skill and capital.
15. The American governments and citizens are very anxious and watchful to improve, diversify, and increase our manufactures. The stock of knowledge is already very considerable, both as derived from experience and as learned from English, German and French books, those languages being understood in America. Books upon the useful arts and manufactures are much read in America.
16. All European improvements and inventions are perfectly free to be used by the manufacturers in America, without any purchase from or damages to the European patentees. But all American inventors are encouraged by patents.
17. All foreigners are capable of setting up their manufactures and business, and hiring shops and houses on the day of their arrival, and entitled then to purchase shops, houses and lots in Pennsylvania, Kentucky, and other states. Also capable of becoming, in five years, free holders and free citizens of every state and of the United States.
18. Perfect religious liberty to every church and to the members thereof.
19. A certain asylum, and resource status in reserve in farming and cheap renting and purchasing of lands, in those cases, wherein the attempts in business, under providence, prove successful.
20. The lawful money of the country is altogether gold, silver and copper coins. No man can compel another to receive bank notes in payment.
21. The tools of every man's trade and manufactory are capable of importation free of duty. Every year produces new facilities and encouragements to American manufactures, and many exist, which are not here particularized."
Our success and progress in manufactures, (many of them, it is true, very simple) has been really great. By manufactures are meant, all moveable articles and commodities made by natives or foreigners residing in America, from the produce of our farms—from the ores, wood, and other natural productions of the earth—from whale bone, spermaceti, and other fishery articles—and from imported raw materials. It is impossible to procure certain information of the quantities and values of the articles made wherefore estimates may be allowed. It will not be peremptorily asserted that the following estimate is exact; but it is believed to be just. To publish it, will have the good consequences of producing corrections, and it will occasion enquiries, reflections & discussions, which, if conducted with candor and temper, will be very useful. If we deduct ships, boats, coopers wares, and working carriages, the remaining sum will exceed all the manufactures from the British European and colonial dominions. These home made commodities create an immense American home market, for the productions of the land and fisheries. There is no reason to doubt, that if we were to add all our other manufactures, (and there are numbers omitted) the value could not possibly be reduced below forty millions of dollars, per annum. The manufactures have been but little forced; but have generally arisen like the gradual operations of the new Robinson Crusoe, from the necessities, occasions, and inducements incidental to our situation.
An attempt to estimate certain American manufactures.

It merits the most particular observation and consideration of citizens and foreigners, that the value of the articles resting upon labor saving machinery, is yet so inconsiderable, that nearly the whole benefits of that very lucrative, and most proper department lie open to capitalists, artisans, and manufacturers.

A question submitted to the legislatures—Whether the United States ought not make an experiment of forcing one branch of manufactures, by labor saving machinery?

The sloop Prudence, Paddock, sailed for Boston about the 12th; and ship Alexander was to sail in 4 days from Monte Viedo for Philadelphia in ballast. Mr. Dalton, of Boston, was to take passage in this vessel. It was the general opinion that the vessels chartered by Spaniards to go to the river Plate for cargoes, & which went there in ballast, would be obliged to return without cargoes. Schr. Eliza Rich, of Boston, was seized at Rio Janeiro, and the master and crew put into prison.
NEW-YORK, July 17.
In an addition to our stock of French papers by the Tiger, we yesterday received our regular file of "THE MONITEUR," the Official Journal of the French Government, to the latter end of May. they are almost entirely occupied with addresses from the Prefects and public bodies to the First consul, on the subject of the question which at present agitates France; and from the ministers of Religion on the Restoration of Worship.—The
following is a copy of that which has been forwarded by the consistory of the churches of Bourdeaux:
"First Consul, Vanquisher of Europe, Pacifier of the world, Saviour of France, restorer of religion! You have no more titles to expect, and Glory has no more titles to offer you.....Enjoy the fruit of your labours under the shade of laurels united with the branches of the olive. ....You are admired by the military, praised by philosophers, respected by Politicians, esteemed by your enemies, blessed by all people, venerated by christians, adored by the French, and the Protestants cannot find expressions equal to the sentiments with which you have inspired them."
One of our last Paris papers mentions that advices had been received from Naples of the whole eastern part of Italy, being menaced with an alarming scarcity occasioned by the excessive drought which had prevailed there for some time past.
HAQUE, May 10.

REFLECTIONS,
ON THE LATE EUROPEAN INTELLIGENCE.
(Continued.)
Bonaparte's procuring himself to be elected Consul for life, is another event deeply interesting to France, and the whole civilized world. This measure he has timed with the same prudence that has marked his conduct in so many other instances. At the conclusion of a Peace with all the great powers of Europe, which he has either beaten or frightened into terms the most advantageous to France—after a long and bloody contest, which had ruined the commerce—destroyed the navy deranged the manufactures of their country—the French people on a sudden find their ports liberated—the freedom of the seas restored commerce reviving the arts encouraged—security of persons and property at home—respect and influence abroad—public and private credit established—their government feared, and their nation aggrandized. This view breaking on them, like the beams of the sun, on a weather beaten crew, after a long and stormy night, naturally excites to the highest degree their admiration of those singular talents, courage, and address, which guided them to victory, and afterwards to peace. Availing himself of the moment of enthusiasm, excited by this change of circumstances, Bonaparte presents himself before the French nation as the candidate for a consulship, durante vita, for a perpetual Dictatorship.
That he will succeed in this measure, who can doubt? Possessing power more absolute than any of the Grande Monarques, who will dare to resist his wishes, or oppose his ambition? We may therefore set it down as an event already decided, that Bonaparte will be first consul of France for life. Were he responsible to the legislature for his conduct—were he liable to impeachment and dismissal from office in case of malconduct, the measure we are now contemplating would perhaps be a future one for France. Or if in the subsequent part of his administration he follows the example of our Washington, and with powers the most absolute, combines moderation, justice and true patriotism, he may yet become a blessing to his country and the world: but as power without responsibility, in the course of a few years is apt to corrupt the heart, there is great danger that the Hero of Italy may become a tyrant and a scourge.—Contrary, however, to the usual experience of human nature, should he continue just, moderate & prudent, notwithstanding his elevation, so long as his life shall be continued France will be exempt from revolutionary horrors: yet so many sources of discontent will long continue in that country—so many disappointed candidates for places of honor and profit—so many of the ancient noblesse, who will indignantly brook the possession of supreme authority by an obscure Corsican, while (as they believe) the legitimate heirs to the French throne are in exile and poverty, so many thorough-going jacobins anxious to renew their old trade of proscrip-
tion and pillage, will still there remain, that the chances against the life of the First Consul are many and great. His sacred band—his Corps d'honneur, or Pretorian Guards may for a while inspire terror and preserve his life; but at some unguarded moment, at some favorable opportunity, he may feel the assassin's dagger or drink the poisoned bowl. If religious fanaticism raised its murderous arm against the greatest and the best of the whole line of French Princes—if a Chastel and a Ravillac, could the one attempt and the other accomplish the death of such a monarch as Henry the Fourth, what has not Bonaparte to fear from Jacobins and Anarchists? But for the dangers which menace his life, the confirmation of this distinguished character in his office for life would produce many happy effects at home and abroad—it would inspire confidence in the permanency and uniformity of the plans and measures of his government—in its system of foreign policy and financial arrangements—At home it would repress that spirit of change and revolution, which has made France the theatre of the most atrocious crimes for more than ten years past.
On this side of the Atlantic, this event should serve as a most impressive lesson to those political enthusiasts, who have apprehended the wildest excesses of French democracy and anarchy—who have been urging American citizens to follow the example of French Jacobins—and have endeavoured to persuade us, that no situation was eligible as a state of revolution, in pursuit of the meteors, "Liberty and Equality."
From the present state of France, let our philosophic President also learn, how inevitably his "tempestuous sea of liberty" subsides in "the calm of despotism"—and let our citizens, in general, learn from this event to be on their guard against philosophic and revolutionary demagogues, who, to adopt the language of scripture, while they preach liberty are themselves the servants of corruption."
Com. Ad.
It is suggested that several of the American Frigates are to be ordered to the River Plate, to release the shipping belonging to this country, detained there by order of the Spanish Government.
Some of these vessels are Indiamen which put in there in distress last March; others that sailed from Boston and other ports in the United States in consequence of contracts made with merchants under a guarantee of security from that government. Whether this outrageous conduct is consistent with the law of Nations may be more accurately determined, when we shall have heard the circumstances fully stated. It certainly however claims the attention of government; and it might be proper to enquire how far this detention is consistent with the existing Treaty between the two countries. It is however clearly stipulated that our vessels shall have free ingress and egress to all their ports to procure provisions, &c.
[Boston Gaz.]
The American Citizen, published in New-York, by Cheetham, of stolen-letter memory, in noticing the news from France relative to perpetual consulship, in the ardour of French patriotism, exclaims, "Is there no Brutus to rid the world of this modern Caesar!" It has been intimated to us that a certain British subject, editor of the Aurora and stationer general to our government might be spared long enough to execute this commission. As there appears to be no prospect of further murders and devastations in France while the present order of things continues, and as there remains not a single republic in Europe to be farther disturbed and desolated it must be really pitiable if there cannot be found some one among these friends of man who will undertake again to open the flood gates of revolution and of blood.

It has been accurately ascertained, that potatoes being washed, and afterwards cut into slices in a mill or by any other mechanical mode; and then dried on a malt-kilo, till all the moisture be exhausted, may be certainly preserved for many years, and be as fit for use afterwards as before they were dried. They have also been peeled, and then sliced and dried, hard enough to bear grinding in a common grist-mill, from whence the flour has been barreled and sent to the West-Indies, and returned to this country, the whole process taking up four years; when both the potatoes, slices and meal, were as good and
free from mould or any bad flour, as when they were first manufactured. The celebrated Dr. FRANKLIN recommends bread treated after the same process, as the best for a sea store. It is first sliced and then baked. This, he says, was the original biscuit, pain bis cuit—twice baked.
From the "Wasp," a paper established in Hudson, (N. Y.) in opposition to the "Bee," a democratic paper edited by C. Holt, who, after being compelled to leave New-London, where he formerly published a paper under the same title, but for want of support, is making an attempt in Hudson.
A NEW SONG. By the editor.
DEMOCRATIC DING-DONG: or A BELL TO SETTLE THE BEE.
The Democrats—(I know them well) Their heads are like a crier's bell— A hollow scoundrel—a noisy thing Hangs in the middle, pealing—ding— Ding—dong—a pealing bell, A demos head will do as well.
A demo's head is made of brats; His howling beats the bray of ass; His tongue an iron, noisy thing— Touch it with whiskey—how 'twill ding— Ding—dong—a pealing bell— Whiskey suits the demos well.
"The Bee" starv'd out and took his flight, And on our shores he next would light— The Demo clappers 'gan to ring, But all was noise, and nought but ding— Ding—dong—a pealing bell— Demos support a printer well.
Hark! hear the pan's* bewitching sound— Hark! hear the Bee commence buzzing round— See him prepare his pointles sting While all the dem's clappers ding— Ding—dong—a pealing bell— The Bee will sting the fed rals well.
But, hold! suppose support should fail, And the poor Bee should shew his tail; Another tune would demos sing, And quite forsake their bell would ding— Ding—dong—a solemn kneel Would sound the dying Bee's farewell.
* A pan and stick are frequently used for setting a swarm of Bees.
