commerce, which has taken so macy from
our lands and looms, that the number re-
naming has not been adequate to the pur-
poses Of carrying on manufactures to the
extent our demands require. In proportion
to our population, there are double the num-
Der within the U. States engaged in COM

keeping, shop-kceping, &c. than in any part
Of Europe. Oar seaports are filed with
this kind of traders, aud every town in the
country has large proportion Of these re.
tailcrs of foreign merchandise. Nearly an
eighth part OF the citizens are employed as
mere agents to sell the manufactures of 9TH
er nations. This class of citizens it is sup
posed might pursue a business in the manu-
featuring branches vastly more lucrative,
and equally honorable. A hearty robust
man, to sit beside his counter from morn
ing til night, just to attend few customers,
cannot be SO probably employed, as if he
turned his attention to some more active bu-
siness in the manufacturing line. If instead
of such an immense body Of mere shop
keeping traders, we had about the third of
the number engaged In the various branch

would obtain a much better living, than in
buying and selling foreign articles. The
price Of rents for shors and stores much

Since the time, when by the decreee of

of our wish for the peace of the Catholic
Chnrch-You have been witness Ut oar
wishes for the spiritual peace of the French
people and Ct our paternal condescention
You have been witness OF the benefits,
which we have conferred on the Gallacian
church, yourself and your subjects You
have been a witness that under all the cir
cumstances, we have lent ourselves, SO far
as lay in our power, to- all the concessions
and concordants with the French Empire
and Kingdom of 'I.al9. In fine, you have
been a witness of the immense sacrifices
which we have made to the detriment of
our people, for the benefit and the repose
Of the French and Italian nations; and
which are such, that our subjects already
in misery are unable to procure thr means
of subsis,ence-You however, in return
for SO many favours, have not ceased to
fill our heart with bitterness, to.reduce lis
to the greatest extremtles under false pre-
fences and to harass our conscience. In re-
turn for the ecclesiastical coacordat, you
have not ceased to seek to destroy it by
seperate laws, called organic You have
made to US propositions, calculated to that
effect, and irreconLieah able with the morality
of the gospel and with the unalterable
max.ms of the universal Catholic church.
In return for these benefits, the states OF
the Holy See have had to support the en-
ormous burden Of your troops, in such
way, that sine the year 1901 up to the
presen, time, they have wasted five millions
of Roman crowns, without keeping the SOL
emn promise of reimbursement by the
kingdom of Italy. In return for these sac
ridce. you have despoiled us of the Dutch.

turn for our condesention, you have deman-
ded our sanction to articles contrary TO the

Of the church, to the good Of the Catholics
| of other kingdoms, and destruction OF our
independence and of the liberty of the church
To accomplih these designs, you have IN

Mr.. Seth Wheaton and others, Of Providence,

with six hoors, forty feet wide and two hundled
and eleven feet long, competent to drive more
than ten thousand spindles, which is expected to
commence working in November.
We are gralited 70 see, that in that part ofthe
Union, a manufacturing spirit pervades the peo-
ple. There are said TO be more than fifty Cot

and the artists employed in them are In all re-
suects equal to Europeans.
Not only spinning, bat weaving establish

In the present state of our affairs, it is peculiar
" gratifying TO learn, that, notwithstanding the
opposi,ion of torres, and the wcs of inceRdaries,
the manufactures of our country are gradually
gaining ground. In Shippensburg, Pennsylvania,
Ia post town, containing about 200 houses) there
are 8 wooden and cotton railing machines, and
ffty-five spindles, which upon moderate cacu
l4,on. will average 9S dozens, or 4fbs. OF cotton
yarn per day. Thus far the operations are car
yied en- without robbing agriculture or commerce
az one useful hand, for none but women and chill,
dir en- are employed. The raw materials are en-
creased in value by these operations ego per cent,
aud, after all wages. useful repairs, and common
expences are paid there will be a nett profit OF
from SO to 100 per cent on the capital employed.
Notwithstanding the low price Of British goods,
want Of capital and every disadvantage, the BUSH
ness gradually extending, and new establishments
daily erecting.
Two establish mcnts Of no uncomfortable mag
ntude are contemplated in the vicinity OF Kings
ton, Ulster county, N. Y. One is glass-house
which is to be erected in Woodstock, by the VI
ster Glass Manufacturing Company. Sand, sup
posed to he suitable for making glass, is found in
abundance near the site-Thc other is a Cotton
Manufactory, to contain one thousand spndles

1t appears, from an accurate estimate, publish

collects at the port Of Liverpool alone, from ra"
materials imported from this country, an annua
revenue of about ten millions, eight hundred
thousand dollars, and at least an equal sum iron
all the other ports in the Kindom.
1t will be sai.' by some, this IS no matter, tn
