HUNTS no MANuEAcTuRERs.

Gentlemen--All of you who have read the
Weekly Register are well assured that the edi-
tor 10 your friend. He IS attached TO your into
rest, because he believes your prosperity is the
interest OK his eoantry; and he earnestly desires
you may go conduct your several businesses
that when peace comes, your establishments
NAV resist the shock that mast accompany the
event, and triumph over domestic rsjldicc and
foreign influence wish to see the great int
rests of the GIFTED States thus classcd--the s.
grIcultural, the manufacturing and the CONS
merciaI; as in the advancement OF your business
over the commercial, while it shalt enrich the
nation at large, perceive the only certain means
OF roofing Up BriHshfecimg that has disgrace
ed us. But to do this you must establish Cha
racter Your profits At present srr exceedingly
great-your works are more productive than
the mines Of Mexico.
There is no objection to this--if an
article that you can sford to make for one dol
lar, will bring tryo in the market, see no reason
why YOU should not have it--tsis is the nature
and spirit of trade. But recoliect, that these
kn,es 1riAnof last. forscer; & lay up foundation
that shall susl ain you at 4 general peace Ihaye
feared that your cagerness TO MAKE money was
little like the conduct Of the farmer, who, ha-
wing goose that laid golden egg each day,
would have grasped the whole a, once by kili-
ing the goose, by which he lost all. From per.
sonay observation and general remark, it sp-
pears that the character of many Of your goods
is deprcciating, tho others have and deserve
the highest praise. The old roholsso,he recon-
mendst /" it is not quite 50 nice as the is,-
ported, but great deal better" has lost much
of its former force. If it be lost, your estso-
lishmeIts are ruined. .,
am safi&fed, that several ofthe most i'm
portant manufactures can produce greater
given quantity of goods for less money in the
U. S. than they can do in England, and that
many others may be carried on as cbeap'y.
Be content then with a present bushes,
"better than coining"-gct ss much as yod
can for your goods, but let them be of the
best quality Then you may command Q
preference over foreign manufactures and
if, with this advantage, and the cost o.
freight, ch9~ ;es and duties OIL goods impor
ted, you cannot meet your great rival; you
ought to quit the business. If you deserve
the encouragement, the double duties may
be continued some time after peace (comt
when it willy for your protection--but they
will not be exactcd of the people merely fol

You must merit protection by reasonable

ANOTHER ARRIVAL FROM rRANcEl


We learn by passengers in the Elizabeth
City Stage, VINO have come on from Newbern
IN. c. that the schr. Hero, Captain Waterman,
OF New York, arrived at Newbern' about 8days
ago from orient, which place she left on the
ninth of April; brings nothing new but con.
firms the intelligence ofthe Allies having TAX en-
Paris. 1t was not even reported at L'Orisns,
when the Hero sailed. that i,onaparte had re-
taken Paris, or gained any adv vantage over the
Allies 1t was ruIDored that he was in the vici-
nifty OF Paris with very formidable army, not
80 numerous, however, as the Allies Peace
between Austria and France was talked Of at
l. Orient, but rather wished than expected.
On the 18th ut. in lat. So, N. Ion. 81, the
Hero spoke the English letter Of mxrque brig

Surprixe OF baltimore, captured near The Yves.
tern Islands OF the Gath April, after A.u,e hard
knocks. The prize was loaded vain coffee
and cocoa, supposed to be worth S,50,000
The Ku,ouzoH arrived at Frankfort (Maine)
ON the 20th u:t]
In long. l8, the Hero fell in with feet OF
200 sal OF enemy's vessels, conveyed by two
74's-captured one afterwards re-taken) and
learned from the crew that there were on
board the fleet 1000 troop, and the frames OF
two frigates destined for Canada.
An English brig, laden with Teneriffe wine,
and other articles has arrived at Beaufort, N
C.. prize to the Chasseur,. of Baltimore. This
probably is the same vessel erroueously repor
