Of .drgingten House, in the District Of Co
lum5ia.

At time when the energies Of the ma
ton seem awakened to the state OF To-
fcign and domestic concerns, We conceive
that the important Interests OF Agriculture
and Manufactures should meet with sollsl-
lerablo share Of the public discussion. Ger
tain ii is, that at no period Of cur political
history coah these national subjects excite
more interest or be more properly urged to
the notice Of the publi5 mind. he unsettled
md impending appearance OF orr foreign al
fairs, and the present disturbed state OF the
European world, renders it doubiy necessary
for the citizens of America to cherish and
promote their domestic policy, whereby they
!. mav derive those resources which are now
obtained from abroad and create wealth and
industry within themselves. Too long have
these Important and patriotic interests bsen
neglected. The nation now feels their want,
and we trust will duly provide for their sup
port. Government, hitherto engaged in other
concerns, viii now cherish those domestic
Institutions, which will preserve the nations
dignity and promote the peoples welfare
or the merits of the little work we are.
about to issue 10 the public, it is not our pro-
vince to decide, but of the advantages TO be
derived from its sale re would beg leave to
say every thing which adisinterestcd exertion
Ia the cause of Domestic Manufacture Justly
demards--And as the profits of this work,
after the expenses of publication are paid,
will be solely devoted to the purposes Of the
Arlington Institution, We may hope and con
fdently expect liberal patronage from a
discerning and patriotic community.

iniquity has prevailed; for without produ-

mon frances, here as well as in Paris, the
French commissaries have thought Iroper
to conhscate your goods. Such treatment
amongst civil people is without example :;
but it is not the only instance of Injustice
OF which the French have been guilty, and
which calls for vengeance. These unjust
conhscations are carried to such shame.

sary for a long time hesitated wheter he
would furnish us with the act oTcondennna-

however,. after all hopes of saving these
goods had vanished, we with much trouble
prevailed on that man to order a form I

not being allowed a duplicate of the said
act OF condemnation we have thought best
TO have the same recorded in the Ameri..
