De Increased IN proportion to the de.
maud. Those OF the western states
and territories supply about an equal
quantity; that known by the name Of
the Wabash Saline, which belong, TO
the United States, making now 1870.
600 bushels. Valuable discover ies
have also lately been made on the
banks of the Kenawha. But the an.
nual importation of foreign salt a.
mounts to more than three millions of
bushels, and cannot be superseded by
American salt unless it be made alonr
the sea coasts. The works in the
state of Massachusetts are declining.
and cannot proceed, untsss the duty
on foreign salt should again be laid.
II IS necessary to shelter the works
from the heavy summer rains by light
roofs moving on rollers. This consid-
erably increases the expense; and it
appears that the erection often thous-
and superficial square feet, costs one
thousand dollars, and thar they pro.
duce only two hundred bushels wear.
a more favourable result is anticipate
ed on the coast of North Carolina, on
account of the difference in the cli-
mate; and works Covering a75, 900
square fee., have been lately erected
there.

MISCELLANEOUS.


Respecting the other manufactures
enumerated In the former part Of this
report, no important or correct i'm
formation has been received, excep,
as relates &c the two following
Straw bonnets and hats are made
with great success, and small district
in Rhode Island and NIassachuset,s
annually exports tosether parts Of the
Union, to the amount Of CSC, 600 dol
lars. See communication lN.)
Several attempts have been made
TO print calicoes but it does not seem
that the manufactures can, without adj.
ditionsl duties, stand the competition
of similar foreign articles. The diff
culties under which they labor are
stated in the petition OF the cleo
printers of Philadelphia to Coneress
A considerable capital has been vest
ed in an establishments near Baltimore
which can print $4,000 yards a week
and might De considerably extended
II the profits and the demand afrorde q
sufficient encouragement.
L
From that imperfect sketch Of A.
merican manufactures it NAV with
certainty be inferred, that their annu
al product exceeds one hundred and
twenty millions of dollars. Aud il Is
not improbable that the raw materials
used, and the provisions and other ar.
s'eies consumed by the manufactures
create home market for agriculture
products notvery inferior 10 that which
arises from foreign demand. A re-
suit more favorable than might have
been expected from view of the ma
tufal causes which impede the in
troduction, and retard the progress OF
manufactures in the u. S.
The most prominent OF those cau,-
es are the abundance of land comDar.
ed with the population, the high price
OF labor, and the want of sufIicie,,
capital. The superior attractions Of
agricultural pursuits, the great exten-
son OF American commerce during
the late European wars, and the con-
tlnuance OF habits after the causes
which produced them have ceased 70
exist, may also be enumerated. Sew.
erai OF those obstacles have. however
been removed or lessened. The
cheaPness of provisions had always to
a certain extent, counterbalanced the
lhIgh price OF manual labor; and this ;e
now IN many important branches near
" superseded by the introduction of
machinery; great American capital
mas been acquired during the last 90
years and the injurious violations of
the neutral commerce of the Uaited
States, by forcing industry and capital
into other channels, have broken in
yeterate habits, and given general
impulse, to which must be ascribed
the great increase of manufacturers
during the two last years.
The revenue of the United States
being principally derived from dnt;cs
on the importation of foreign merchan-
die, these have also operated as a IRE
miunA In favour of American mann.
caciufes, whilst on the other hand III y

The annual importations of FOREIGN

halt OF the consumption, being pre-
vented by the want Of workmen.
Some of those manufactures make

letters and papers to the date OF March

in favour of an alliance, offensive sr3I
defensive between France and Aue-

Turkey to enter into the general Ieasu.
