on the 4,h of this month. Il was a
most affecting sight 10 see these S73 per-
sons, of both sexes and all ages, quitting
for ever their native country, amidst the
cries and despair Of thcir relations. An
immense concourse of people was col
lected at Estavager to witness scene
unparalleled in our annals, and which,
doubtless, will be the only one of the
kind that Switzerland will be condemned

BY THE MAILS.

.4DleffcGn Md1ll,f GCtiTeS.-There seems TO he
at the present period, considerable attention to
the subject Of our own manufactures and the
advocates fer the system of governmental en-
couragement aud protection are fast increasing
in numbers and zeal The present embarrassed
state ofour commerce, both foreign and domestic.
naturally leads to an inquiry as to its canse and
TO the means ofreviving it. A single glance at
the present state Of Europe shows that we have
little TO expect from that quarter. The markets
which, during the existence Of war. in Europe.
were open for us, now supplied by the pro-
ductions Of IFS own soil. Our produce therefore.
will no longer afford profit to the shipper and
il must remain upon our hands. But, with the
cessation Of this portion Of our commerce, must
proportionably cease our mportations of European
manufactures, unless we impoverish the country
TO pay for them. tven the article of cotton. that
rich staple ofthe South, no longer finds a market
abroad, except at greatly reduced price, owing
to the importation in Europe of that article from
india. Upon ourselves, therefore, must we rely
for an Improvement Of our commerce and for
better times. If we have nothing 70 pay for
foreign manufactures, we must manufacture at
home and if the people ofthe southern states
cannot find foreign market for their cotton, it
becomes their interest to seek for one at home,
by encouraging domestick manufactures.
This is, very briefly, the reasoning of those
who are urging upon the government the impor-
lance of giving more efficient encouragement to
our manufactures. The subject will, probably,
be brought before the next Congress and. not
Improbably, something will be done in accor-
dance with the views above described.
