Extract Of a letter from Gerry intelligent .amsri
can gentleman, noW in London, to his friend In
this city. dated .Nouember last.
"The condition of England. at this time, is any
thing but cheering. The tariffs system is the heavi.
est blow she ever received from our country. She
begins TO feel i;s operation, and seeks TO quarrel
with Us about the Northern Boundary. The real
fact is. the is to be waged with our country
but with its prosperity. The United States have
hitherto afforded the best market for her manufac-
tures-itisnow diminishing, and Manchester, Leeds
and Birmingham feel the vibration of every loon,
that is erected in our country. England also, is in
danger Of losing much Of her continental market
France, Holland, Russia, Germany, &c. sc. are
paronizng manufactures to an extent that fills the
uisest heads in England with dismay. l am aware
that the oppo.ition here is always pretending evil but
even the friends Of the ministerial party confess an
alarm.
The corn laws are the ostensible prominent griev.
ance, but the manufacturing distress is the evil
which threatens most loudly and permanently the in
terests and tranquility Of England.
