You would be greatly surprised, had you
known dis country four years ago, and to
compare the difference at that time, with the
fireSent. Before til,c restrictive measures re-
sorted to by England an France, on neutral
commerce, the people Of ennessee were
greatly engaged in raising of coeco2: ana the
nigh prices which were given for it az 1T
period, had brought on system of extraya-
sance that was progressing fastor than their
rising wealth. The sudden fall in the price
otcotton, left great many people deeply Inn
nesSed in debt. They were unwilling to give
over their fondness for their former manners
Of lfe-Spt strong Necessity caused them to
retrench tneir expenditures, and they have
been gradually disseminating the use of foreign
articles up to the present time. And am
now happy to say, that the prevailing dispo-
sition is domestic niaaujS lectures, which have
become very fashionable and there appears
to be an ambition among the several circles
OF society, who shall excel in the hneness and
elegance of the fabrics, for family uses.
AS strong evidence of the change OF sem
timent among the people, with respect TO 70
reign articles, is the discontinuance OF several
large mercantile establishments, and the Dre-
sent number of merchants complain that they
do not do near as much business as fermer-
ly. ~
