The slave trade is carried on, however, from the coast of Africa to the Brazils
jaiid Cuba, more even at the present time i than most persons in our own country believes. There arc 250 vessels called traders, employed in this business; and what , is sufficient to make a man blush for the j United States, many of her citizens are engaged in it. The crews, commanders, land sometimes owners of these vessels, 'are from our northern cities; and, while I they sustain fair characters, are secretly : plundering Africa to gratify there avarice, j The temptation, to be sure, is great. A slave can bo bought in Africa at about j!0, and when he touches the shore of ; Cul a is worth from 400 to 500. Great caution i6of course necessary in this pro-
I cc ding; arid hence ail tlags are hoisted, land al! nrtifice? resorted to, which the ocI cation may require. The writer of this
is not speaking without information; nor art? these assertions founded on any thing less than evidence. A rmll Spanish schooner arrived at M'tianzas, in February, with 150 slaves, although she could not have been above 80 ions burthen. She landed them before coining into port; but on the second or third day the slaves were introduced into the city emaciated almost naked, with' an air of despondency and grief which their situation was well calaulated to inspire.

American manufactures. It is stated that order have been received at Pittsburg for the manufacture of eight steam engines, of twenty-one horse power, designed expreffly for woolens. This shews that the pa-sae of the wool bill is calculated upon at the next session of congress. A fi iend and manufacturer of machinery in New York, in a letter to the editors says "I don't recollect that I informed you we had made an elegant brond cloth power loom to go to Leeds, which left this country in List month. This is certainly a new article of cxpart." Our readers will recollect that a little vhile since, see page 81, when speaking of the arrest of some persons in England for exporting machinery to France, we recommended that application should be made to our work hoo id that "RrMt.or

A captain of a trading ship being not long since in the city of Constantinople, lodged in the house of a seafaring Turk. One day he observed to the Musselman, that in al) his walks through the immense city of Constantinople and its suburbs, he had not seen any thing like a jail for im prisonment of debtors. Christian dog! (said the disciple of Mahomet) do you suppose we are so debased as to ropy the Naznine policy? We take care to strip a debtor of all bis property, as far as it will go, to pay Lis just debts but there we leave him we instantly turn him loose to begin the world again. The believers in our prophet are above shutting up their fellow men in cages in order to starve, persecute and torment them. We make a distinction between a man and a rat I have been in several of the Nazarine (Christan) cities, and never looked at a debtor's prison without horror, as a place where a man is degraded to the conditiou of a rat!
