american S,eei.-We learn that a
manufactnry for converting iron into
steel, has recently been commenced in
Newt Jersey, which produces as good, as
firm, and as beautiful Steel as any I'M
ported from England or Germany, and
that too from Morris county iron. The
best qualities of Russia, Swedcs, and
Morris iron, have all been tried, and all
are good, but the latter is found supe-
ror TO any other, from the trials which
have been made in sundry edge tools. i,
is said that no cast steel, ever imported
from Great Britain, exceis it for the
hrmest and finest instruments. The
manufacture is one of incalculable value
10 the United States.

Presidents .Nessare.-The follow.
ing interesting remarks on the late Mes
sage of the President of the United
States, are copied from the Quebec c.
zette:
This Message which is always of i'm.
portance to us, on account OF the proxi-
nifty to the Union, becomes more so,
from the new attitude which its govern
ment plainly assumes in this solemn
State paper.
Forty years ago the United Colonies
contented themselves with wrestling the
right of government from the Mother
Country. Ten years after they began
20 lay claims to Louisiana, and in little
more than another en- vears they IN AIDED
Canada and took possession Of the Flori.
das. They now say 10 all Europe E" Sc,
not your foot on the Continents Of North
or South America. We will suf.ar you
TO retain the colonies which you now
possess; bu. you shall no longer colo
nize; those colonies which have with
drawn themselves from their allegiance,
we take under our protection. We
know that they canno, be regained by
the Government from which they have
Withdrawn themselves, and none other
shall interfere"
Will the Holy Alliance take up the
gauntlet which is thus boldly thrown
down by the Unied States, at a moment
when the whole Continent of Europe is
subservient to its power or PROSTATE al
its feet :! This Declaration of the u oi,ed
States, is almost a guarantee of the In
dependence Of the South Americ an Co
lonies, whose population il will power
fully influence in the supper, of the ex.
isting order Of things. England, how
ever much she may be aslonished at the
boldness, and we verify believe the an
bi,on of her young rival, is, we are in-
cliped to think, favorable to the separa-
ton of the Spanish Colonies from Spain,
and their being laid open to British trade.
Sac is also almost pledged to support
the young Republics; and she can do it
effectually. II she remains firm we
doubt il the Holv Brotherhood of Des-
pots, and the still more Holy Brother
