In The subscriber having procured the exclu.
sive right to manufacture in this and several other
states Harwood's much improved Patent Tile fol-
covering houses; and at considerable expense
erected the necessary buildings, &c. for carry
ing on that useful business extensively, now OF
iers to supply, at short notice, any quantity tina
may be required, at the moderate price of thirty-
lfve dollars Per thousand, delivered at his Factory
He can with confidence, founded on actual eX
pertinent, in the covering of about 90 houses in
this city, assert, that houses can be covered with
this tile as cheap in the first instance, as with
shingles OF the first qualityj and when the secu-
rlty against fire, the difference of insurance, the
durability and particular construction of those
tile to resist the most rating rains and SHOWS
are considered, he cannot doubt of meeting with
considerable encouragement 1t requires only
the examination of well covered roof to con-
vince the most prejudiced mind of their superio-
rity TO any other tile heretofore made, or to the
best of slate, and will cost less than the latter
after paying the expense of water carriage to al.
most any part of this continent.
Particular attention will be paid to orders from
other towns, and in all cases where they are
shipped, he will deliver them whole and sound
along side the vessels, at the expense of carriage
only to the purchasers. Any person skilled in
the art of thing, viii put those tile with great
facility, but where they cannot be procured he
can engage a few here who have had some ex-
perience, and will go moderate distance, if the
job Insufficient magnitude and their travelling

The PAPER Nils at Banersea, in Petersburg
being now in operation, it is desirable to engage
the attention ofthe public, in aid OF supply OF
the yavO materials, for this branch of Domestic
Manufacture.
. 1t should be made known TO all classes Of CT
items within reach Of this establishment, that
without their attention in its support, it cannot
prosper--and that that support can be given,
and at the same time serve their own interest,
by afiording them a ready money market for an
article hitherto considered of no value in their
families.
The benefit to be derived by the public from
the introduction Of home manufacturer, into our
country, win be attained only in part, If the ma
nulacturers are obliged to 90 abroad for their
raw materials Therefore, those engaged in
introducing new branches Of manufacture, into
this part Of tie country must calculate much
on the exertions oftheir neighbors in support Of
their undertaking.
The cost Of paper yearly imported into Pc
tersburg, cannot be less than ten thousaad Doi-
.-Consequentlyift he Battersca Mills meet
with the support which may be expected from
tho patriotism OF Virginians, portion of the
same will be retsiae5 in tie district, and find
cireuls.i0n among the citizens for an article a.
sualy thrown in the fire or on the dung.h,n

ORDERs 1N CouNc1L.


Lord Auckland moved, " That certain
papers be lid upon their Lordships' table,
giving an account Of the exports and imports,
during the last and present years" The
Noble Lord stated, that the object of his
motion was TO come A. the evidence Of what
had been the effect of these orders in
council upon the commerce Of the country.
When this evidence should be produced,
and il should clearly prove that tie orders
in council had not produced those benefits
which had at first been expected, he would
leave IL q tho discretion of ministers to do
them away, as injurious to our commercial
interest. At this time Of the session ne
could not make any particular motion res
pecting those orders, but should leave the
noble lords opposite in FOIL possession Of the
field, and should surrender to them their
triumph upon question where he did not
feel disposed 10 envy their success. Our
orders in council reminded him Of the story
of two men having agreed to fight this way (:
vein was opened in each of their arms, s.
the struggle was who should stand the long.
est or fall the soonest. His lordship read a
statement made Of the exports and imports
for one quarter ending on the 5th OF Jauua
~ IN the present year, whereby il appear
ed, that commerce had suffered diminuti-
on of about 1,4O0,00O. IN that short time,
part OF which had been subsequent TO the
orders in comcil.
Erl B'thurst had no objection TO the
noble lords motion but At the same, time,
disagreed with him respecting the statement
concerning cur exports and imports, Tor al.

acquainted with the southern country, knows
that salt is there an article OF the frss ne
Cessitv; and may conceive. the weight OF
such an assertion with the less opulcnt part
of the community.
If by such articles as this the people
are to be "FEDERALIsEDs" let those who
thus atchieve their ends, enjoy all he hon
est pride which attaches to the possession
ofproperty acquired by swindlng; for what
is it but swindling to pass the base coin of
falsehood under the dazzling exterior of
truth.
But the ycomanry of North Carolina
of America, are not to be thus deceived.
As yet, republicans may proudly boast
that they owe not their popularity to arti-
fee or Misrepresentation. If they lose
ground, the purity of their principles will
forbid them to emulate the arts OF their OPP
ponents to regain it.

District, to be held at Richmond in November
next.-Notes, chiefly of the United States
Bank, to the amount of about S 100, were

two were of 6 loo each-and Post Note of the
Bank Of the United States, dated 18th Iune,

on the back ofthe note.

letters opened and the Enclosures purloined,
may do well tn forward list oftheir notes, with
