fbcoe in this country, now begins to be ad
mitted bj the most violent, and public
opinion to last settling on the necessity of a
rsdustion sf the tariff, as the onlv means
of resuscitating our declined and declining
tmS$.
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. One thing is
certain?tho tariff ought to be reduced, and
as its advocates deny that any evila have
Temlted from U although the commerce of
the country is prostrate, we shall be pleas
ed to have a ungi^goodmult pointed out
to us.
The Boston Commercial Gazette, allud

the operation of the tariff. It assert* (hat

and In consequence of their being disap

rtrongast evidences are afforded, that but
little popularity is to be counted upon by
^?associated with a system which has
?tho very reverse of

the principle* of that qrstem nor practiced

they hare gono on from step to stop, and
bareestabCwhed on a fictitious capital, cot

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

nino penco the dozen, and sells them for

These sages have written and written, and
tugged and tugged, to enforce a belief that
this nation never can bccomo wealthy and

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

AMERICAN SYSTEM VOCASULAnY.
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. A* a specimen
the following will serve:
" Over-trading," which means that if a
nation buy ten millions and pay only eight,
they are losers.
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.
?? Balance of trade"?-an old phrase with
a new mcsmng, which signifies amongst
moderns, that the more you get and the less
you pay the poorer you are. See HexekU
ah Niles?and last net least, President Ad
am's message to Congress, wherein the fol
lowing memorable profundity in the science
of political economy is set forth?" At a
general rule of a /irot/urou* commerce, a
nation'? exfiortt should exceed /ft import1."
" American tyttemwhich meant the
best way to make a President, or a slight
of hand In taxing the many for the benefit
of the tew.
" Surfilut capital," which it briefly,
that money it always so plenty in thiscouo
try that it it better to sink it in manufac
turing than not to use it. [Enquire of the
eastern manufacturers as to where their
capital it.]
An fioneat nnftmhn,?^The Providence
American offers the following reason why
the present tariff should be continuedt?
"Several millions of property in this
state invested in Mills, are now depending
for their value upon the permanency ol
the American System. Take that away
and their fixtures are worth nothing, except
as the deserted monument* of former in
dustry."
Here, then, we have the fact admitted,
that this odious tarifi' was made for thefno
and not the many and now when its repeal
is talked of, we ure plainly told that it must
be continued, or a lrw speculators will be .
ruined We thought so.?A*. Y. Courier

MKWS FROM THK THEATRE O* WAR.
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.

After a murderous combat of lour hours,
the fire, which the exhausted troops could
c<aued both sides.
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

"Never had such an engagement been
witnessed by the Grand Visier, and more

We find our fellow journalists, after a
long silence, during which the female im
agination whs left to riot io all the extrava*
gances of mode, again taking up the subject
of Indies' dresses. The warfare la cot car

fair innovators are reprehended for invad*

in demonstration of which we find ait'the

two female figures, one acopy drfkeVeatr*

compressed at one point, swelled oat an
another, and monstrously ditproportfcmed
in all. At the risk of sinning ngainst hall'
the female world, we confess that our pre
judices run In favor of the Goddess who
"lives and loves in stone,** though-her
figure differs essentially from thoaa we artf
accustomed to contemplate in those " gay
resorts where female vanity would with to
