Further extracts and hints from late able
French work, entitled /" I'm erawtHation of
the principles most fduolrable 10 The progress
Of 3gricHttTe, Mdnufactu es and Commerce 4"
We shall nov select some remarks on the
principles OF this writer, relative to the encou
JaBepient OF manufactures, TO the promotion of
which he is strenuously attached. We select
these, because we think there is a fund of excel
lent sense in them, because we believe them true
because they afford a much better, and more SOL

than the precarious support of n changing go.

ried through popular body by persuasion, but
which may and will be withdrawn if felt to be
oppressive on the nation at large and lastly we
giVeaiis because il is the result of much obserya
ton ~ nation second to none but Great Britain
IN manufactures, and which has nourished in
these objects OF industry IN spite of national ca
lsmity and the chilling, arbitrary, foolish mea-
sures ola tyrannic government
Our author first alludes to the state of the WOO
len fabrcks OF France, prior TO the annexation of
Belgium and OF the countries on the Rhine 10
France. He says that YeFyiers Iimbourp. and
AK la Chapelle, which belonged TO these newly
annexed territories, were celebrated for the ex-
cellence and cheapness of their wooden fabrics
Before their annexation TO France, the entry or
importation Of these wooden goods was charged
with enormous duties, but as soon as the coun.
tries became part Of France, the duties were
taken off. :" The manufactures of Old France
uttered, he says, tremendous cries. They tho't
themselves ruined without resource But their
fears have not been realized All of them have
prOspered, all have increased their establish.
