A N D
i Letter to a gentleman in this City.
Paterfon, January 16, 1794.
Dear Sir,
In anfv/er to your enquiry refpeiting tlie
present situation of the Faftorv here, and
the progress made in conftrufting the cot
ton-mill, for water spinning, and the canal
• designed to bring the water on the wheel,
&c. I have to observe to you, that the
cotton-mill is now under cover—the inside
i carpenter work nearly cumpleatcd—the
| large water-wheel is finiihed—and that e
, very part of the building (to accommo
date eight drums that turn 768 spindles,
together with all the neceflary machinery
for preparing the cotton for spinning)
may be calculated on, as out of hand bv
the fiift of May. At that period two
drums may be fafely calculated on as
ready for work ; and that the remaining
fix drums, will be got ready fcr use, as
fact as children can be taught to perform
the working them to advantage.
The mill anil machinery neceflary for
commencing spinning by water, may there
fore fafcly be calculated on as ready for be
ing pnt in operation by May day. As to
the Canal, the part on the rock, designed
to take the water from the natural bed of
the river, is fioifhed, and die flocd gates
ercdied, so at entirely to com
mand the waters of the Paffaick, in
the summer season. The dam across the
gully, below the rock, is also finiihed
and the canal from thence to the mill is in
such a state of forwardnefs as to juftify
very sanguine expectations of its being
compleated in all April; should the spring
prove favorable for working abroad. At
any rate, there seems 110 reason to doubt,
but that the mill will be in work, with
200 spindles, in all the month of May—
and still less reason to doubt of the machi
nery's being conftrufted on the most ap
proved plan ; as the carding, drawing and
roving machines, for preparing cotton for
■ water spinning, are now actually at work,
by means of two horses ; —the rovings
they make are spun into excellent yarns on
mules—of which two are in constant work
for account of the Society. There can
therefore be no reason to doubt the know
ledge or abilities of Mr. M. who superin
tended this Branch. He has heretofore
labored under great embarrafiinents for
want of able mechanics ; but these diffi
culties are daily leflening ; as well from
the arrival of mechanics and machine
makers from Europe, as from those for
merly employed by him, having now
made themselves matters of the different
branches in which he has instructed them.
The completing the machinery forthe mill
is therefore rendered easy and sure ; there
can be no doubt of having the best of ma
chines ready as fact as hands can be taught
to work them. The work which this mill
is calculated to turn out, weekly, will
juftify the most sanguine expectations that
those manufacturers who are daily flock
ing to this free country from the defpo
tifm of Europe, will consider Paterfon as
the mofteligibleplaceforthem tocommence
business a new-that the manufafturesof cot
ton goods of differentkinds.madeby private
adventurers, on their own accounts, will
furnilh a ready market for all the yarns
made at the fattory. This, with the
command of water which the focicty will
have fccured by means of their canal and
dam, and the great number of mill feats
which they may calculate to fell, must in
duce manufacturers of every difcription
to fix themselves here in preference to any
other part of the continent. The fa!e6 of
house lots will be encreafed, and the funds
of the society for active operations there
by augmented; and the expectations which
the public seem to haveformed from fixing
the fa&ory here in some mealure realised.
To convince you this is not all ideal,
I can allure you that a number of prin-

We are extremely happy to inform the
public, that the Amboy pafTage boat,
which left this city the 26111 of December
last, and which was fa id to have been lcil
on Long-Iflatid, was, after having been
eleven days at sea, drove into Martha's
Vineyard, after experiencing the gieateft
imaginable distress, both for the want of
provi (ions, as well as from bad weather,
which obliged them to cut away her mat
The lives of all, however, (one child ex
cepted) have been providentially preser

by Captain White, from St. Thomas's,
who put in at Martha's Vineyard, in dis

with him all the paflengcrs of the Am
boy boat.
THE Contributors are requested to

next spring—and that the building < f

are forming for the msnufafluring of tJo
