DOMESTIC MANUFACTURES. We have
often asserted that great change was
going on in the south, in regard to
the policy of encouraging domestic man
nfactures: we have expressed our be-
lief that the time would come and speedily
fEit eUen has not already arTiuedJ when
the tariff would more benefit the cotton
gro,cers than the spiRnerS-we have ven
tured an opinion, that our southern fellow
citizens would receive Instruction. from
experience, os our eassarn brethren have re-
ceived it. The latter were, very short
time since, nearly as much opposed to a
protective tariff as the former. The one
thought it would iniure the commercial IN
fereSt. the other that it would ruin the

creased the commerce ef.the United States.
and has completely changed sides-the
other is beginning to see that it nightly
;;lcreGSeS the profits Of the planters of the
q. States, and they viii, also, be friends of
the american system" OF this we do
not entertain the slightest doubt. We YER
lily believe that cotton would bear at least
one cent less per pound, at present, than it
obtains, except FOR the domestic manufac-
+ure of the article. Calculate this on the
ichoLe quantity produced, and put it down
as affecting the present price of this great
staple Of the south!
1T is not in our nature to wish the prosperi-
~ of any one of the great interests of the
United States at the cost of another, and, we
totally reject the idea that such a result is
necessary-we say boldly, and defy contradic-
tion-that it has not resulted from the tariff to
any class of persons, in this union, however
small, except those who have Immediately de-
pended on the sale of British goods; and it is
perfectly evident, if the tariff was not, that

thew will uphold all his conduct. Who
can cease to wonder that the child should
receive any impressions from such a course
but those of evil, and that he will exercise
his disobedience to its utmost extent, and
thus incur its penalties!
Parents, these things are true; observa-
ton and experience have tested them; and
if ever YOU have censured your instructors
for the exercise of severity, remember that
probably your own conduct towards your
children, is more deserving of censure, and
more repreheRsible, as the source of an evil
that must be cured, or it will ruin the OBJ
iects of your fondest affection.

SEVERE REToRT.. The following retort
was exceedingly severe indeed, so much
so, that Mr.. Sheridan never forgot nor for
gave its author, Horne Tooke. 1t is best
to relate the anecdote in the latter gentle
mans own words: "Shortly after | had
published my Two Pairs of Portraits ofTwc
Fathers and Two Sons, those of Earl Chat

Mr.. Fox,-I met Mr.. Sheridan, who said,

New YORK, May Ia.


COLOMBIA. We received yesterday, by
the way of Philadelphia, letters from La
guayra of the 18th ult. and it may, per-
haps, be taken as no equivocal indication
of the alarm prevalent in that country, that
our correspondents no longer sign their
letters, from an apprehension, that any free
expression of opinion concerning the af-
fairs of Colombia, if traced to them, might
be attended with danger to the writer's.
The hand writing, however, we know, and
as the information derived from the same
source on previous occasions, has uniform
ly proved authentic, we confide as entirely
in that now anonymously communicated, as
though it were vouched with a name-and
it is, we are sorry to say, very discourage
ing. At Bogota there is said to have oc-
curred-if not a revolution-some most
decided manifestations of opposition to
the measures of Simon L., as one of our
correspondents calls Bolivar. Meantime
very strict measures are taken by Boil
war, to prevent INSTRUMENTATION in Co
lombia. A proclamation was received
on the 18th April in Laguayra, requiring
all foreigners arriving in that country, to
behave themselves, and in case of any in
fraction of the laws, authorizing the Gov
ernor of the Province where they landed,
to order them forthwith out of the coun-
try. Another order proclaims death to
any one who may speak III of the existing
vernment.-.4mericdR

PHILADELPHIA, May 10.
We are indebted to Mr.. Sanderson, of
the Coffee House, for Buenos Ayres pa
pers to the 18th March, and Gazette of
Montevideo of the 18th of that month";
Buenos Ayres was full of JOY for consid-
cradle victory obtained by her army over
that of the Emperor of Brazil. We pro-
coed to lay before our readers transla-
ton of the first official despatch announc-
ing the event.
TRIUMPH OF THE ARGENTINE RE-
PUBLIC.
Tohis ErceHency the Minister Of War
The General If Chief of the Republican
army has the satisfaction to communicate
to his 'excellency the minister of war, that
after two partial engagements, in which
the division of Ventus Manuel was at
tackled and beaten on the 18th inst. by Col.
Lavalle, and on the 10th by Gen. Mancil-
la, the Republican army fairly encountered
the imperial bands in the field of Ituzain-
go. Their numbers amounted to $500
fighting men, of the three descriptions of
force; the battle continued to rage for six
hours: skill and energy were displayed on
both sides; at length the enemy gave way
before the power of our brave troops, be-
ing completely routed, his cavalry was dis
persed, and he left on the battle ground
more than twelve hundred dead, among
them Marshal Abreu, ten pieces of artille-
ry, all his munitions and baggage, many
prisoners and arms.
The loss Of the Republican army does
not reach four hundred wounded and kill
ed, among the latter, and his fate is deep
ly lamented, is the intripid Col. Brandzen,
who fell at the head of his regiment.
The immediate benefits of this victory
ana It's consequences, are immense. The
General in Chief is pursuing the enemy, in
order to improve his advantages to the ut
most; and in the name of the army he fe-
llcltatcs the nation and the government
All the individuals of the army have con-
trlbuted IN the most laudable manner to

CARLOS DE ALVEAR.
The editors of the Buenos Ayres Ga
zettes add, that the imperial throne, which
was already tottering in Brazil, would soon
fall, and with its fall the independence of
the Western world and the freedom of the
Argentine Buenos Ayreanl territory be
assured. But the editor of the Monte vi
dec paper declares, that the loss of the Ar
gentine army in the affair of the Goth was
very considerable, and that it had not oh

NORTHEASTERN BOUNDARY.

by the New-York ItbiOa 10 give its views ofthe
present state of the controversy between the e.
nited States and Great Britain, remarks as fol
lows:
The question respecting this boundary, arr
ses out OF the Treaty of Peace Of l783. between
the United States aud Great Britain. Being still
an uns tiled question provision was made in the
Treaty of Client Tor ascertanng aud fixing the
boundary. -under that Treaty, Commissioners
we're appointed to settle the question. They
were not able to agree upon an adjustment. In
that event, anticipated as possible by the trainers
of the Treaty OF Client, provision was made in
that compact, that, on disa greement between
the Commissioners ofthe two Governments, they
should report the fact 10 their respective Govern.
mentN, and that the question should rhcrcupon
be referred TO the umpirage OF some Sovereign
arbitrator. On that subject. negotiations were
commenced in London, before MIR RUs9 re-
turn TO the United STATES, aud have been contin-
ued by Mr.. GALLATIN, which are understood to
have resulted IN the tormaiian ola Convention
