A principal caufe_of their dee 
clenfion 3s the habitual warfare, which fince 
1792 has rendered the European market in 
many parts inacceffible, inallinfecure. Much, 
however, mu be afcribed to the palling fath- 
ion of the textures themfelves; -which are 
{uperfeded abroad as at home by cotton-ftuffs. 
Let us enumerate the articles which there is 
moft chance of manufacturing here with a pro- 
bability of progreflive demand: while the 
fpirit of the country is on its march againft 
danger, the induftry of the country fhould be 
devifing the means of fupplying a no lefs ef- 
fential fupport. Canada is one of the few 
growing markets for Norwich goods. It con- 
fumes forme calamancoes manufaftured of ma 
terials embezzled here ; and many fearnoughts 
and duffields. Probably the fale of all thefe 
articles could-be much extended through the: 
channels which export goods to North Ame- 
Tica. It is not unlikely that blankets -could 
alfo be made here with advantage, and difpofed. 
of through the fame outlet, ‘The govern- 
ment might recommend officially the inftitu- 
tion af fairsin Canada. They are thenatutal 
refort of a country too thinly peopled for the 
eftablifhment of permanent ftores, They 
would convene the Indians, as formerly the 
northern barbarians of Europe, and promote 
the difperfion of Englith commodities among 
the wandering tribes of the lakes. “Lille in 
Flanders, and Leyden in Holland, are finking - 
into ruin under the anti-commercial fway of 
Bonaparte. In bath thefe towns many mo-= 
hair camblets, and hairbines, and prunels 
were manufadtured of high price and exquifite 
beauty, which found a narrow market in the 
court-towns of Italy, Spain, and Portugal, amd 
which were carried in conftderable quantities 
to China by the Dutchand Danith India Come 
panies. 2. Thefe ftufts could certainly be imi- 
tated in Norwich, and might probably be vend- 
ed through the Englith Eaft India Company and 
captains in important quantities. .In dark blue,

the makers to give rafh credit, which isa 
mifchievous policy. Yet.the cheapnefs of 
thefe fhaw!s compared with what are manu- 
factured in Kafhmire, from the wool of Tibetg. 
would perhaps facilitate their difperfion in the 
eaft. ‘The Levant, Pertia, and Hindoftan, 
where the finer fhaw!s are much coveted,
