the Americans hove made in manufacturer, I took a ride out
to Paterson, one of the principal niannfartioing towns in
the United State.. This town is in the State fsf New Jersey,
atonal twenty miles north-west of New York. It contains
twelve mills for spinniiic cotton, and two nir spinning Haft.

facture which the American Government seems determined
to foster,, whatever may he the expense, probably in order
hey that t may be independent of a supply from Comp.! in
time of war. They pay for the Paterson canvass f.'s dul'ars
a piece; when, in my opinion. they might get a much better
qiiality of British esnessa at little more than half the mu.
trey. But we have no reason to complain of them so long as
we pay 70s. a quarter fur our own wheat, when we might
have theirs for 30a.

American flax is of b. quality, probably owing to its being
allowed to stand ton long on the ground in order to save the
seed. The opet aliens of heckling and spinning are conduct-
