continued state of peace among the nations
with whom we have the most intimate con- !
nection, after such long period of war,
has not only materially altered their rela-
tons one with the other, but placed the
United States under new circumstances,
to which we shall not be reconciled until
the generation of men who commenced
business at the breaking out OF the trench
revolution shall have ceased to influence
the public mind. A little while ago we
were the merchants and carriers tor MIL
hons of persons, whose own merchants now
do their own business, in their own SHIPS,
and labor has necessarily sought new occu-
pations. These are not adjusted and set
tied as they will be in due time: and are
DISTRACTED too, perhaps, by constant re-
currence to opinions and rules of action es
tablished when nearly all Europe was in
state Of war, entirely napplicable when
Europe is in state ofpeace. The want of
sensiblity as to these things, has greatly
contributed to bring about these seasons of
adversely through which we have passed.
LETTER TO THE EDITORS.
Gentlemen,-l know of no class of the
community more sinned against than the
manufacturers. They are represented, as
.
capitalists living on the labor of the poor,
or as needy adventures who may involve
the whole country in ruin. The remarks
ave not only c1runeous i'll point of fact, but
tond to inlure them. The true state Of the
case | take to be this-the manufacturers
! are component parts of the trading commu-
nty and, if the proportion which they bear
! to the whole of that community, were as
certained, it would not be found that fail
ures among them are more frequent than
the other classes of that community. They
are liable to the various fortunes Of all deal
ing men-at one period depressed and an
other prosperous-scarcity and abundance
affects them like others. The makers of
low priced cottonS are much embarrassed
lust now, but their business will soon regu-
| late itself, and time will provide remedy.
The woollen manufacturers are reviving.
| lido not think that the tariff of 1923 has
been vet fully tested, and the state of things
in England has tended to distract what may
be called its regular operation. We have
not vet got over the heavy importations OF
! 1928, and the present very low price of
wool in England influences the price in our
market. So long as the effects of bank
rupts in Europe are sent to this country,
closed, our markets must be variable but
with increased experience, we shall not be
so much embarrassed by that variableness
as we have been.
Let not the friends of Anne ican industry
be discouraged. Letthem carefully investi-
gate the facts that belong to their several
concerns, and prepare for the approaching
contest. Nv opinion is, that no change OF
J l4Io ln of cd
let our opponents put themselves entirely on
the offensive. We shall then bring them
to the proof of some of their ad captdndun,
assertions. There are certain things which
must regulate hemselves"-among them
the growing, as we'll as the spinning of cot
ton. The planters will discover this at ar
early day. Even the present low price
cannot be paid on the goods manufactured
from it.
LATEST FROM FRANCE.
By the ship Sully, Capt. Macy, at New
} York from Havre, the editors of the N. Y
Commercial Advertiser have received Pa
; ris papers to June l. There is little au-
, thentic from the seat of war: great and
) sangGinary battles were daily expected.
Accounts were constantly received al
f Vienna of battles between the Turks and
, Russians in the neighborhood of Silistris
: to the disadvantage of the Russians. One
report was that the Turks had destroyed a
body of 5000 Russians, including Gener-
ais, and captured the military chests and Il
or Is cannon. This account is said to be
false, or at any rate much exaggerated, but
it was admitted that the Russians had, after
bloody battle near CZernowody, in which
the loss was great on both sides, retrea;ed
and entrenched themselves, waiting for re-
Inducements to enable them to act on the
offensive.
The Gazette de France of May 81, says
it appears that the Russians would en-
deavor to pass the Balkan by marching on
Sizcpoli, and debarking at Bourgas. They
are now concentrating at Silistria and Ruts-
chuck. Should the Russians pass Choumla
which the Turks regard as The barrier OF
the empire, the war will be terminated, and
it is very probable that they will find no
other obstacle in the march to Constantine
/ pie"
The above (says the Boston Centinel) is
rather more vague in its terms than we
could wish Sizepoli and Bourgas are on
gulph oc the Black Sea, the first about
| 100 and the last 100 miles in line nearly
north of Const antinople. Silistria and Ruts-
chuck, the places of concentration, are about
the same distance, farther N. N. w. of
these places. The march across the land
to Sizepoli would be hazardous. The route
is over the rugged Balka an, and ChoumIa is
in the way. 1t would seem that the Rus
slams do not mean to attempt to take this
citadel in their course, but to go round it
tourney and leave it in their rear. But as
this city is well garrisoned, and has ever
been the IhermopyIe of the Turkisi, wars,
the Russians cannot expect to get it with
out struggle. On the other hand should
they go by water, they would have to de-.
scend the Danube and traverse the Black
Sea distance of or 600 miles. which
