PHILADELPHIA CARPET MANUFAC TOR i .
AMONGST the many accounts of the Hou
rilhing Hate of the infant manufactures ot
America, it seems ftrai.ge that the Carpet Manu
factory has been hitherto so little notified A
correspondent who has lately visited that elta
blifhment in the Northern Liberties, informs us,
that he has seen fomeofthe carpets manufactur
ed there by William Peter Sprague of those du
rable kind called Turkey and Axmmfltr, which (el
at 20 per cent, cheaper that those imported, and
nearly as low as Wilton carpeting, but of double
itsdurability. . , , .
The carpet made for the Prefulent, and others
for various perfbns, are master-pieces of then
kind, particularly that for the Senate chamber
ofthe United States. The device wove .ft the
Jaft mentioned, is the Crest and Armor tat Alchtnf-,
tnents appertaining to the Untied Stat/'. hir
teen Stars forming a conftellatioli diverging from
a cloud, occupy the space under the chair ofthe
Vice-Prefident. The American Eagle is dil
played in the centre, holding in his dexter ta
lon an olive branch, in his Snifter a bundle of
thirreen arrows, and in his beak, afcroll infcnb
ed with the motto, E pluribus unttm. The whole
surrounded by a chain formed of thirteen shields,
emblematic of each Stare.
The fides are ornamented with marine and
land trophies, and the corners exhibit very beau
tiful Cornn Copias, some filled with oli v e branch
es and flowers exprelfive of peace, whilst others
bear fruit and grain, the emblems of plenty.
Under the arms, on the pole which supports
the cap of liberty, is hurg the balance of JuJiice.
The whole being executed in a capital fttle,
with rich bright colours, has a very fine efFecft,
notwithstanding the raw materials employed,are
ofthe refufe and coarser kind ; so that this ma
nufatftory is an advantage to others by allowing
n price for those articles which could not be u(ed
in the common branches of woolen and tow bu
finefs.
Manufactures of all kinds will generally mee:
with the support of the friends of the country,
and this in particular, which already gives em
ployment to a number of poor women and chil
dren, will no doubt be encouraged. The article
of carpeting is now imported in considerable
quantities, for which, large funis are annually
exported to Europe ; but if due encouragement
be afforded, there is every reason to believe that
it may become an objeCt of exportation.

PARIS, April a?. :
Since the resignation of M. de la Fajffctte, the
conversation of this capital has been engrofled
solely by that subject. Deputations from differ
ent bodies have waited upon the general, to in
duce him to resume a situation in which he is
thought neceflary, if hot for the maintenance of
the Constitution, at lead to fruftrate the plans of
the Aristocrats and demagogues. At present,
hopes are entertained that M. de la Fayette will
comply with a with so honourable to him, and
that he will resume his post.

Yesterday his Grace the Duke of Leeds re

Oczakow, the Turkish town so much the ob
ject of die Ruffians, is the capital of a Sanglack,
of the fame name, inhabited by Tartars ; it was
taken by the Ruffians in i 737> and all those who
refilled, put to the sword ■: the Ruffians them
felvesloft 18,000 men in the assault. The Turks
returned the fame year with 70,000 men to re
take it, but were obliged to retire with the loss
of 20,000,
The language of Mr. Fox on the Canadian
Con{litution. was certainly the mod boldly Re
publican that had ever been fpofcen in the Bri
tifli Senate ; and from the complexion of many
circuniftances, that cannot escape an observing
mind, it fliould seem that the alarms of Mr.
Buike for Democratic plots, would now be much
better founded than they were in February
1790, when he exprefled them with so much en
ergy

A FRAGMENT.
***#******** With steady hand,
There Earl marks out the deep-expreflive line.
Fix'd o'er the work intent, the colours spread—
Thro the thin white deep blulhes now the red;
And here the violet, mingling with the blue,
Spreads loose in flowing folds of azure-shining hue.
* With form embodied, Force, and Vigour stand ;
And Eloquence extends the hand j
And sober Tho't coritra&s his brow ;
And Sadness wipes the tears that flow
In foftly-fympathetic woe.
Still at his touch new foVms arise ;
The foul fits sparkling in the eyes;
Speech opes the lips ; the throbbing heart
Seems (hro the swelling breafl to (tart;
The hirgid muscles aid the vivid ftrife,
And all the form bursts trembling into life.
+ Simplicity, with ardent gaze,
Stands fix'd in deep amaze ;
And agitated Rapture lifts his trembling hands;
Bent o'er the piece young Genius (lands;
While Tenderness, with tearful eye,
Strives to suppress '.he rising sigh;
And Superstition lifts the affrighted ciy.
ELLA.

political truths are stated, in a manner so irre
fiftably convincing, as to promise the acceleration
of that not very distant period, when usurping

WINCHESTER, June 11
A letter from a gentleman in the territory of
the United States, south of the Ohio, dated May
19, 1791, fays, " Governor Blount is very indus
trious, and leaves no ftene unturned to bring oft
a treaty with ihe Cherokee Narion of Indians.
Should it take place, it will be the largeftand
mod general treaty that has been held with
thein since the revolution, as the heads of the'
whole nation have promised to attend. There
has jnft been held one of the longest Talks, on,
the fnbjeft of the treaty, that has been fora
number of years. M'Gillivray has been confut
ed much 011 this business—his yellow brethren
consider him as one of the greatest and wisest of
men—he advises them strongly to treat ; but, in
the midst of these favorable appearances, some
recent depredations have been committed on the
frontiers—two men on Beaver-Creek, who were
out in search of their horfea, and two miners oft'
Cumberland mountain, have lately fallen vic
tims to savage barbarity.—Nineteen horses have
also been stolen out of Cumberland lettlement.
It is not known to what nation the Indians wh®
committed these depredations belong."
