AT a time when the energies Of the ma
ton seem awakened 60 the state ot our to-
reign and domestic concerns, We conceivs
that the imporsant iatetests OF Agriculture
ana " assusactures should meet with COAST
derable share of the public discussion. Ger
tain il is, that at no period of our political
history could these ua,iona; subjects excite
more interest or be more properly urged to
the iaoticc Oh the publi5 mind. The unsettled
era impending appearance OF our foreign al
FAIRS aid the present disturbed state of the.
European world, READERS Ii doubly necessary
for the citizens of America to cherish and
promote their domestic policy, whereby they
mar derive those resources which are now
obtained from abroad and create wealth and
industry within themselves. Too long have
these important and patriotic interests been
neglected The nation now feels their want,
& and we trust will duly provide for their sup
port Goyetnmens, hitherto engaged in other
concerns, MiR now cherish those domestic
institutions, which viii preserve rhe na,ion's
dignity and promote the peoples welfare.
Of the merits of the little work we arc
about to issue 10 the pubic, it is not our pro-
vince TO decide, but Of the advantages to be
derived ton Its sale We would beg leave to
say every thing which disinterestcd exertlon
in the cause Of Domestic Manufacture Justly
6emands--And as the profits of this work,
after the expences OF publication are paid,
viii be solely devoted 20 the purposes OF the
Arlington Institution, VIC may hope and con-
fdcatiy expect liberal patronage from
discerning aud patriotic community.

English church, religious persecution
has been the instrument which the
British cabinet has used to govern Ire
land. BY fomenting and keeping
this religious animosity alive and act
i've, and with a small body of regular
troops, or what was called the Irish
establishment, placed so as to be I'M
der the orders of what was called the
Protestant ascndency, the Irish natl
on, who were disarmed soon after the
treaty of Limerick, in violation of the
articles Of that treaty, were held in a
state OF complete vassalage; and in
order to make this state of things per-
petual, the cabinetin England had on
ly by their emissaries In Ireland, to
tan this religious animo,ity into a
flame to hold the balance between the
conflicting parties, and thus make the
one to check the other, so as to make
Doth completely subservient to En-.
gland.
lfany gentleman entersains any doubt
as TO whether this be correct out
line of the state of Ireland, down to
the time when this union of Irishmen
which has been so much reprobated,
was proposed, will refer them to
Bishop Buffers letters. He was an
Englishman, and made Primate of
Ireland, for the express purpose of
keeping Ireland in, subsection TO En-
gland, by the instrumentality of their
religious prejudices, and with what
zeal and diligence he performed the
task allotted to him will amply appear,
ifhis works be consulted.

We have this morning received by
way of Heligoland, the substance of
number OF letters, which have lately
found their way to that island from the
Banks of the Elbe, and may be con-
sidered with some allowance on the
score OF accuracy, as an interesting alb
stract of news from the North of Eu-
rope, by which it is made to appear,
that the expedition of the French,
SPaniards, and Danes, against Swe-
den, has been delayed, under the APP
prehensioa that Gustavus has receiv
ed powerful assistance from this coun-
try.
Ministers have also received dispat-
ches from our feet off Cadiz, bringing
an account of the most serious distur-
Dances having taken place at Madrid.
The people alarmed at the prospect
OF want, and learning from every part
