no one article more wanted at present
IN our market than summer waiscoat
patterns. An extensive establishments
for the bleaching and flushing OF coun-
try linens, in the European yle, is
still desideratuln as it would great
ly enhance the utility, The sales, and
the value of those Linens, now brought
to our market in such vast quantities.
Upon the whole, the laudable design
of the Maryland Association is likely
to be realized beyond the most sam
guine expectations perseveranceibe-
ing all that is necessary, to accomplish
the end.
We frequently hear the foes of do
mestic manufactures complain Of the
high prices at which those articles are
sold. But they do not consider that
the greater durability of home made
goods will, in general, more than cpun-
|ter-balance the difference of price be-
tween these and the limsv wares which
now arrive from foreign countries.
Besides, the objection, iftrue, i, very
short sighted one for the higher the
price, the greater the profits, the more
will be induced to embark in the busi-
ness hence rivalsbip will soon reduce
the 1Priees to their proper standard, &
at the same time accomplish the great
object IN view, the establishment of
manufactures 10 an extent commensu-
rate with>ou home consumption. O.
Tiers. real friends 10 home manufac-
lures, are greatly discouraged, from a
behet that the conduct Of the general
igoverenent has given an incurable
wound to our infant establishments.
IL Is neither the business nor the wish
OF Your committee To make any remarks
on the conduct ofgovernment respect-
ng this subject, they shall'here only
observe, that even should 1t prove true,
that a foreign deluge of manufactures
shaH attempt to drown our Infant Her
cules, now said TO be left unprotected
10 the woods i. is confidently believ-
ed, that instead of accomplishing the
object, the intended ruin would revert
to the source and ultimately inlure
that commerce which was intended 60
destroy our manufactures. A tempo
rary shock they may experience; but
IN despite of imbeciIisy or jealousy,
they viii finally prevail. Besides, e.
ven admitting that the government has
not done its duty, that, surely, is no
reason why the people should not do
theirs. Members of the Maryland

Count Pahlen, the Russian Minis.
ter, arrived at Washington City on
6unday lass,, and on Tuesday was pre-
Dented 70 the President of the United
States in the usual form. The count,
We understand, has been in this coun.
try before. He is man of youthful
appearance; of the middle stature
delicately formed, and rather hand
some person. His FIRST dress and APP
Pearance was that of a private gentle
man of taste and fashion. He speaks
English. On his presentation he was
dressed in brilliant costume.

salary, which the Aurora lately in
formed US had been paid to little Aa-

amounted to Ave hundred pounds ster-
ling. This fellow has turned out so
complete villain, that we should not
be surprised ifThe was receiving sal-
airy from Napoleon, and at the same
time receiving a British pension for
being spy upon the government of
France. Burr has several adherents
still in the United States although ma
nv have followed him to Europe. He
has two or three old crenies in the CITY
OF New York, who have, by enc arti.
fee or another. sbeen endeavoring
to wriPple themselves into the favor
Of the republicans; and, we fear, have
been, in one or two instances, hut too
successful. At Washington city also,
