Before thii piper is Concluded, it ni?y be tife
ful to recapitulate the various productions and
c-cports of the United States, which are the sure
foundations of a grand scene of agriculture—the
refourccs for an extenlive trade—and the mate
rials for a great variety of ufeful aud elegant
,nanufac»ures. From our new country we have
n variety 01 ikins and furs, and ginseng ; in the
fettled 'parts of the States, rice, indigo, cotton,

ject of attention. It may be fafely affirmed,
that no Euiopcctti uuttOH 'whQtJ'ocvei' unites in its
dominions, even including their distant colctiieSj
such a variety of important and capital produc
tions ; nor can there be anV doubt in the mind
of a candid and serious observer, that such a
country must rife, with common prudence, in
agriculture, manufactures and commerce, af
