IN the present state of the manufac-

highly important that all valuable prac-
teal information on those subjects
should be collected in form adapted
TO general circulation.
There are many important manu-
featuring processes which are either
wholly unknown in this country, or
known but to very few and these are
generally manufacturers, whose inte-
rest prevents them from exposing these
facts to the world. Hence the many

Deferred Articles.

The Georgetown tory printers outstrip in
audacity the heather god OF rogucry himself,
the nin,blefooted Mercury. They have grown
cailous, or so careless, or SO unconscious,
Ufthcir absurdities and lies, that they frequent
w assert fact in one column Of their shabby
Journal, which they prove TO be false in u col.
umn that succeeds. We have an instance Of
this in their paper of Monday the second
instant. They peremptoriy deny the rava-
wages and rayishments of the enemy at Hamp-
ton (although the British do not deny them,
ihemselses,) and immediately afterwards they
iNsert letter from '' Miss Barron, near
Hsmptoa, to Mr.. Butler Cooke, of Washing
tom" witch recites that after the retreat of
our people the British took Possession of the
town and adjacent country, and continued
there few days, Vhich SveTe marked BY 1loSf
eissrac<fhI ec!s." 4 Lady Certainly could not
utter more. The tory paper itself. however,
after saying that its incredibility as TO what
respects the women is founded upon a variety
OF cOnsiderstions"-in the very preceding col.
umn admits precisely in so many words, that
the indiscriminate ruin produced by the
war, has soGred neither age, sex or condition.
And this phrase is used in express reference
TO the conduct Of the foe at Hampton. We ave

THE ORGANS OF BRITAIN !

We yesterday stated, that, we feared Bon
aparte would be but too successful in his att
tempts to procure an Armistice. Sorry are
we TO say, that our opinion has proved cor
rect TIE .7rmisfice is concluded. Paris
papers to the 1th inst. have been received.
bringing the details Of this fatal agreement.
here is no doubt but that this ARRANGEMENT
will speedily lead TO a continental peace on
the basis of the mi fosSidetts-and as little
that the peace will be one TO which England
cannot accede with the least regard 10 her
honor, her interest, or even her safety. The
Continental Powers, especially Austria, ap
pear tn abandon the great cause whether
from terror, or from an inglorious and ILL
timed desire of repose, is, perhaps, doubtful,
but is equally fatal to their own security.-
Never has Austria had so encouraging an
opportunity to come forward manfuly in The
held, and neverhas she So lamentably shrunk
from the duties of her high character. The
terms OF the armistice, as they afford cause
OF eXultation to all the friends and suppor>
ters of the Corsican Monster, SO they leave
us overwhelmed with the deepest regret.
We say we regret the armistice, not as
bad IN a military point of view, but With re-
lation to its political consequences. We
cannot but ask, what in this new state Of
things, is to become of the island of Guada-
loupe! Are we to surrender it without the
possibility of receiving ahy equiv alcnti Was
il to enable Sweden to re- occupy Pomerania,
At less expence. we might with ease and
certainty have put our Sovereign inpos-
session OF Hanover and the Ministers of
the Prince Regent might surely have thought
1t not beneath their care to render such 4 SER
vice to the family Of their sovereign.-The
time is critical! A continental peace is pro-
bably on the eve of being established
And we are left, OF shall be left, alone,
The last that dare to Combat vita the ice.

"That unsubdued and lurking lies

TO these lines MIR. Scott, who is a lawyer
by profession, has he following note
"All who are conyersant with the admins.

ny occasions in which malefactors appear to
have conducted themselves with a species OF
infatuaiion, either by making unnecessary con-
fdences respecting their guilt, or by sudden
and involuntary illusions to circumstances by
which it could not fail to be exposed. A rea
markable instance occurred in the celebrated
case OF Eugene Aram. skeleton having been
found near marlborough, was supposed by the
persons who gathered around the spot, to be

sorse years before, under circumstances lead

Suddenly said, while looking al the skeleton,

sitiveiy, and with such peculiarly OF manner,
as III lead all who heard him to infer that he
must necessarily know where the real body
had been concealed. Accordingly, being ap.
pretended, he confessed having assisted Eu-
gene Arsm, to murder Clark and TO hide his
body IN ST Roberts cave. 1t happened to the
author himself (Mr. Scott) while conversine

S.ther Incompatible s9tih ingoeence''
ecisciy in this manser it is that the

1t has soiemnly and repeat dly denied the

seemingly unconscious Of betraying itself, it
admits that neither, age, sea-, nor condition
