Connected with thtosubject is a new pro ject It will be remembered that last year, tho high tariff advocates endeavored to bring over to their views the opponents of auctions, but that many of the importers ?nd other dealers, were so satisfied with the lutarai tendoncy of the tariff, that they would not unito with thoee who were its advocates. Now it is said, thatltho tariff ?sen wil agree to a reduction of the duties, provided, Congress will impose a duty oh auction sales. They see the effects, and are ready to do almost anv thins to aet rid rftSeS? my^Kn fSition ?or 8,0 re duction of duties. How &r Congress will be disposed to act in reference to an auction duty, is a ques tion, the a&awer to which at Uiia time, no man can venture to surmise.

But they neither understood the principle* of that qrstem nor practiced them, and the consequence is, that wo find them in a state of the most deplorable bank ruptcy. If their had maaufcctuied just enough to moot the demands ofour homo and foreign market*, success would hare at tended them; but not contented with thin, they hare gono on from step to stop, and bareestabCwhed on a fictitious capital, cot ton spindles enough to fabricate restments for ten times the population of our country, and twenty time* as many yards of doth as are demanded by our very limited foreign markets. The business has been complete ly overdone; capital and credit hare been exhamted, and ruin ?tares us in the face with haggard aspect. And who havo been the principle aiders and abettors to this wretched and mixcrablo xchomel Those very wise men and sages, ttathew Carey, Hesekiah Niles and Company, an associa tion of mad philosophers, who, to proro that he who Imys red herring at the rate of nino penco the dozen, and sells them for six cents, is by tho transaction a looser of a York sixpence; will fill a " grand Colum bian folio" with figures, propositions, as sumptions, and hypothetical reasonings. These sages have written and written, and tugged and tugged, to enforce a belief that this nation never can bccomo wealthy and independent, till every ship, every farm, and every implement of industry is con verted info a cotton spindle, llieir writ ings havo not been without their effect; they have urged thousands into tho busi ness only to be ruined; and it in hoped that men will return to thoir sober sense*, and no longer listen to tho sophistry and nontense of Mathew Carey ana Company. We must not manufacture beyond the de mands of our homo market, and tho wants of what foreign trade we have, wo repeat, for tho moment we do, we accumulato a surplus perishable &tock, and ruin is tho conscquence. In the midst of the general gloom that pervades us, Messrs. Carey and Company, and their followers and proselytes, the gen tlemen who conduct the Providence Daily Journal, and the Providence Daily Adverti ser have assumed a new position and one tliat is as ridiculous and absurd as it is novel and childish. The times are hard and ve ry unuropitious they admit, but in the same breath they contend that they arc produc tive of tenfold efforts, and say, that though it may be true, that domestic fabrics, in contrqucnce of the surplussage that U throw n into the market, sell at reduced pri ces, society Is the gainer, because we cisn clothe ourselves at a cheaper rate than for merly; and they even havo the folly and hardihood to assert that i: is to the interest nf the manufacturer, to sell his fabrics at less than cost M My conscience!" If there lie philosophy in this kind of reasoning, then may good heaven, ever keep us igno rant of the principles of Philosophy. We are professed advocates ot the Ame rican system; wo are the aipcerc friends of the manufactui'cr; and yet wo must confess, that if the legitimate Americau svstem, teaches us to manufacture more goods than we can consume at home, and sell abroad, we do not understand the subject, and are diametrically opposed to it. If we over understood Mr. Clay aright, his policy is based upon principles which will render us independent of the whole world, and to attain which end, we must be our own carriers, our owii laborers, artists, hsndicraftsmen, and manufacturers;but he assuredly never dkl mean to have it under stood, that he was in fas or of our manu facturing to an extent that would absorb the whole capl'.il ?>f the country, and leave us involved in ruin. He only meant, and now means, to have it understood, that we should manufacture to the extent of our wants, and absolute necessities, and the de mands ot our foreign market. As for thtw country ever being a manu facturing country, to the exclusion of other bianches ot trade, the idea is preposterous, and none but madmen wilt lor a moment listen to it. We came into existence at too late an hour of the day to become a manu facturing people; we cannot compete with England, Prance, and Oermany, and if we are silly enough toentei the lists frith those nations, wo shall do so at the expense of our downfall. We must !>e the carriers for other nations; we must depend upon com merce for support, and unless that be en couraged, from whence are we to derive a reveuue 10 meet nur current expenditures' Statesmen m.?y talk as much about the Im position ?f m direct tax for the support of Crrnment as they please, but they will that the project will not answer. The people will not submit to any thing of the kind; ami lor a revenue to meet our annual expenditures, we must depend upon our to* reign commerce. The mote and strictly h< me policy of the Heiperor of China, might have suited this country, if wo had came Into existence two thousand yoava ago; but wo oame to the feast at a late hoar, and we itaet be content to uke the place that la as signed us; we must be hewers of wood, and diaWCTs of waior, to a certain extern, for the older nations of tho earth.

The manufacturers nnd their advocates have lately adopted several compound and nigh sounding words, which they use with their usual general knowledge of the sub ject which they discuss.

Over-firoduction," which meant If the crops of a country nre large, or It the people work more than usual, or it there be more than is wanted for the consumption, that is a great evil. " Over-flofiulatlon," which means that there are not lands enough in the United States to support the population without building manufactories. " Foreign-dtfiendence," signifying that while all the workmen at Manchester, Leeds, ami Birmingham are out of employ ment, and in constant fear of starvation, the farmers in thin country are "depen dent'* on them, or that these manufactories have " over-produced" so much that they must as a consequence starve. ??

Translation of a Keport from the Comman der-in-Chief of the Second Army, to his Majesty the Emperor, of 51st May. (June 12.) May it fifeate your Majetty : I hasten to congratulate you on a complete victory Jbtaiiied by your M?iesty's army on the JOth May, (11th June) near the village of Ivulawtscha, near Choumla, over the Urand Visler. My report of the 4th of June has acquaint ed your Majesty with my march from the Camp before Silistria, with the corps of uount Pahlen, partly for the purpose of joining General Koth, and partly to relieve the fortified town of l'ravadi, which bad bceen invested for ten days by the Grand Visier. In order to obtain this double ob ject, and, at the same time, to induce the brand Vizier, if possible, to engage in ? battle, I resolved to make myself master, with ell speed, of his line of communica tion with Choumta. With tliia view 1 set out from Silistria on the 5th, leaving the further prosecution ofthe siege of that for tress to Lieutenant General Krassoffsky. The indefatigable efforts of the sixth di vision of pioneers succeeded in opening as a passage, m spite of the extraordinary diffi culties of the ground, and made it possible for me, after a previous junotlon with Gen. Koth, to occupy, on the 29th, in a night's march, all the defiles aad passes in the rear af the enemy, by which he drew his am munition and provisions from Choumla. My forced march with the corps of Count Pahlen, was covered by several of our par tisans, performed with the greatest caution snd remained wholly unknown to the ene my. The astonished Visier did not receive the first news of our approach till thedeAle at Mards, (called Madarda in the maps,) was occupied by our troop*. Even then he did not presage the danger which threat rncd him in its whole extent, but imagined that his new adversary was a corps of about 1000 men, detached by General Koth, the only object of which wa? to threaten his line of communication. However, even on this supposition, he thought it necessary to raise the siege of Pravadi, and advunce his whole army towards tho defdes of Ku lawtchn, in the full pcrsuaaion that he should be able entircl) to destroy our feeble corp*. About one hundred pri*oncri, who were picked up on the 26th and 29th, by my van guard under l?icut. (Jen. Huron Krctuz, on the rond from Turk Aratiflar to Jenibasar, and farther toward* Choumla, unanimously affirm that the ttnmd Vixier, with an army of more than 40,000 men, ww? in perfect security near Pravedl, without the I rait no tion of our approach. Thia favorable cir-1 rumttnnce enabled me to have all the rowd* by which the retreat of the litttnd Vialer teemed practicable* mott tnrcfully reoon noitered at day break on the 11th, and a bout 9 o'clock in the tame morning to un dertake a *trung reconnoitaancc with ton battaliona of infantry, four anuadrtmi, and twelve cannon, on the road which lead* from Monkovtacha through Kopareva to Mar* aaclt. Thia laat mewurv waa founded on the information o4 aeveral prUeotra taken in the defile near Marda, who aaid that the Grand Vlaier had retotved to take tliat rand with tka body ol Kk army.

L.Ts r?,?^ thI* In^al of repose to take Mch further measures as appeared to roe necessary for the entire defeat of the Grand VWer. Accordingly the 6th division of In lantry was relieved, and the 5th took Its place. I reinforced the 2d division of hus tars with the 3d, and the whole line with a reserve formed of the 16th and 19th divis ions or Infantry; and to Lieut. General Bar Mi Kreutz, who was statiooed towards Cho V a rewrve the 3d brigade of the Hth division and the liulansof the Bue with their artillery. B These new measure*, anil an extraordi nary loss which the cuemy's army had al ready sustained in the engagement, produc ed an entire discouragement in the Grand Visicr. He called a council of war (as we learned from a Hintbaschl who was taken prisoner) and resolved upon it to retreat by way of Kopurcva to Manuchi. The dellb erations of the enemy's Generals were not yet concluded, when our columns advanced from different hides, an<l began the attack. Unr horse artillery, under the protection of he 5th division oi infantry, and the 16th brigade of artillery, blew up several of the enemy s ammunition wagons by their first idiot. 1 his circumstance produced an evi dent terror in the enemy's ranks, and a par ticular wavering in his whole line seemed to Indicate thut he would speedily give way. Meantime our troops advanced in quick time. The Grand Visier's armv, however did not wait far their attack, but having discharged their artillery, commenced a general flight, abandoning 40 pieces of can non, with all the ammunition wagons, the camp, and the whole baggage. B^ide* the above, 8,000 of ihe enemy were killed, and 1600 taken prisoners. Thfa happened at4 o'clock in the afternoon. A Bimbaschi, whom we have taken pri soner, and soveral other* of thu most dis tinguished officer* of the enemy's army, unanimously agreo that tire army of the I* to ho considered aa not on ly defated, but entirely dissolved, the Vi wer himself having made his escapo, ac companied only by a small number of horto. Tho way that ho took waa admirably calculated for this purpose, for it led eight wents through the forest, and was so com pletely blockaded by tho ememys wagons, th*1was nocessary to employ a division of infantry to remove them, in older to open a way for their artillery. Immediately after sending off this dis patch, I shall set out with all my troops to Maraach. in tho hopes of finding there the Grand Viaier with the remains of his army. May the God of War grant us his blessing for their entire destruction! The loss on our side in this sanguinary battle is unhappily not small, especially in the Murrow regiment of infantry, the 12th regiment of yagers, and the husxara of Ir kutsk. With that brarery which bocomes the troops of ycur Imperial Majesty, they rushed irtto the heavieat fire orthe enemy, and many men in their ranks havo joyP" ly died a glorious death for their religion, their Emperor and their country. Among tho wounded are Major Generals Ohoetchewke and Glasenah. Among the killed, Lieut. Colonel Remling, who com manded ad interim; 12th legunont of ya gers.
