Among the most reckless libellers Of the
times, are to be reckoned the Washing ton
of some of the Administra.
ton presses and we desire TO caution the
public (perhaps the caution is needless)
against giving the slighsest credit TO their
calumnics. We observe, for instance, in
the Albany Argus OF the 18th. under the
head of Editors Correspondence, a Wash
ngton letter containing statements re-
speeding the conduct Of the Senate Com
mtteo of Finance, averring the existence
OF schlsm among its mem bers. and alleg
ing connexions Of some Of those members
with the Bank of the United States-sta
ting also that Mr.. CLAY is in the receipt
of an annual pension Of $4,000 from the
Bank, as Attorney, SC. Sc. Now we have
reason to believe that there is not one as
! scrtion, in all these paragraphs Of the let
ter, that is not base ialsehood, or malici-
Gus misrepresentation. We hope, for the
honor OF the country, that this and similar
libels which VIC have seen in the Argus
and other prints. are the purchased pro
ductIons of low and hirelins partizans.
they could be supposed to have any other
source, the honor of the country woult
seem 10 be past hoping for.-,hat. Int.

We are gralified 10 notice the increased
attention which IS beginning TO be paid to
the subject OF domestic manufactures in
the Southern states but more especially in
Virginia. 1t argues change Of feeling
and Of views going on, which, If persisted

State. and TO our independence as re-
public. Heretofore. 10 use hsckneyed
expression the balance Of trade has con
stanily been against the South. The
raw material for the largest amount Of fa-
brics consumed. is grown IN the South,
transported TO the Northern states or to
Europe, where X is manufactured and re
turned 10 us for consumption with the pro-
fits due to labour and skin super-added,
which The consumer has to pay. This re-
mark applies 10 all the most important ar.
ticles in use. The effect is 10 increase
employment and the value Of labor at the
North, while ii lessons at the South to
such an extent, as TO drive from US our
citizens to seek employment where II Is
more honorable and better paid for.
We hope that this state Of things which
has so strongly initiated against the pros
perity Of our State is about TO be correct
ed. The enterprising town Of Wheeling
has already distinguished herself in manu-
features and is now reaping the golden re-
wards of her enterprise, manifested 4 n
wealth and members. Richmond has also
manifested an interest in the cause and
began to reclaim her many natural adyan-
tages for extensive manufactures. Lynch

FRANCE-THE NEW MINISTRY.

The Quo,idienne says, Z" 1t was only on
Monday morning." after NJ. Mole had
been spoken OF, that Bassano was thought
oil to head the Ministry. The old lmperi.
al Duke had been running about all the
evening before, not upon his own account
but from bis eternal habit of mcddIing
with every thing. About III O'Clock, he
was sent for TO the Tuileries. On his ar
rival, Louis Philippe said to him " NJ. de
Bassano, the moment has arrived 10 put
your attachment to the proof" Sire,
where must go to find you Prime Min.
ister?" "You must accept that Office your.
self" "Ah, Sire, that would certainly be
the quickest way; but who are to be my
coileagues?" CHATS your affair; only
have to propose 10 you Gen Baron Bern
ard, my aid de camp, for the war depart
ment; Nj. Bresson, upon whom can
count for foreign affairs; for the Marine,
M. Charles Dupin, whom it is impossible
to leave out on account Of his brother,
Dupin, the elder. As to the other places
fill them up as you like; for instance, nj
Passy, for the Finances Nj. Teste, pub
lie Instruction or Commerce; and NJ. Sau
get, of whom Montalivet has spoken very
highly, TO the other vacant place. Ar
range all this in your own way you see
that do not wish to interfere in the bust
ness; all, however, must be concluded be-
fore dinner. The Duke of Bassano, hau-
ing so much latitude given him, soon ar
ranged matters, and the ministry was
formed according 10 the Monarch's wish.
With such Cabinet, guided or direct
cd by the King, it will be seen that no
alteration in the political relations OF
France is TO be expected or apprehended.
