are now at work 9 rope walks j each
consumes annually one hundred tons
of hemp ; 4 cotton bagging factories,
consumption 50 tons of hemp each ;
one factory of sail cloth; in the
whole about 1200 tons of hemp, prime

200 spindles; the next, one mule of
160 spindles ; another one a throstle,

commenced to spin, and is established
mi the principle of the New England
factories, the proprietor calculating up
on putting in motion 1000 spindles, &
has now at work a throstle with 108
spindles * iu the course of next month
he starts a mule of 204 spindles. The

N EW ARK, July 17.
I On a perusal of the new French de
cree on the one hand, and the new Bri
tish orders in council on the oilier (says
the long Inland S»ar) we are at a loss
t'' determine to which of them the pal.n
of infamy should be most justly award
ed, or which of them most dt:rerve the
execrations of every lmncst and inde
pendent American. France & Great
Britain appear of late to have com
pletely chaog d the mode and the ob.
jects of their warfare. They no Ion.
ger maintain the character of bellige
rents wi h respect to each other,
ill England warns corn, wine and oil.
i Napoleon h »s got plenty a*, her service,
j and readily grants permision to supply
, h'T with as much a* she may want j
) his enemy the British, desirous not to
; be behind in politeness, grants special
licences to furnish him with articles
essential to French manufactures, and
pay* the balance in money. The only,
contest in which they appear to be now
engaged is, which of them shall de
predate most extensively on neutral
| property.
Tf-e rival decrees and orders ofthea*’
wily belligerent#, however they may
• stensibl) be directed against neutrals,
r#n now only operare against us! Na
poleon has thrown his wide spread net
over the whole of our vessels in hia
own porta, as well a3 xho-e in the
ports under hU controul.*—Britain, as
if afraid that a remnant would not be
left for her to s ave, immediately issues
new orders in cnunc-l to seize all ch it
may be found afloat on the ocean, for
having been restrained From re-acting
the tragical sconces of the C hesapeake.
These mighty belligerents have be
come very much like a pair of lawyers,
or a pair of sheers—they only cut
what comes between them ; and with,
regard to both. America (now the
embargo is gone, aud comerec lrfi to
regulate itself,) finds herself in the
aukward and losing condition of the
•l8ed gentleman who unfortunately at*
tached himself to two wives, the one
pulls out the grey heirs and tne other
•tie black, and leave us bald indeed.
If these things are not sufficient to
:ure us of our foreign attachments, and
lead us to seek a remedy in the cul
tivation and improvement of our own
i esourcea, we would not be cured,
though to admonish ua, the spirit of
Washington himself should rise from
'he dead. Newark Cent.
Overwhelming Argument.—** If it
were true that there is no God, what
evidence can the Atheist have, that
ne shall not exist and be miserable
after death ? How came he to exist
a* .* Whatever was the cause of
his existence here may be the cause of
his exiitence hereafter. Or if there is
no cau-e, he may exist without a cause
m another state, as well as in this.
And if hi* corrupt heart and abomi
nable works make him so unhappy
here, that he had rather be annihila
ted, than iun the hazard of a future
existence ; what hinders Out that he
may be unhappy for ever ? The man,
then, is a fool, who wishes there were
no God, hoping thus to be secure
from future misery; for admitting
there were no God, still he may exist
hereafter as well as here ; and if he
does exist, Ids corruptions and vices
may render him miserable eternally,
as well as for the present.”—Dr. La
throp.
I'o the Editors of the Mercantile Adver
tiser.
Gentlemen,
I o* serve with pleasure, in your
paper of thiB morning, an extract from
the works of Dr. Lathrop, adverting to
| tha absurditv of Atheism, which
| na,ied me totrouble you wrtu my opini
Ion of this deeply to be regretted wcak
j ness.
1 I believe the principal cause or A
| theism to arise from our inability to
.conceive the origin ot the Deity ; or in
iother words, to imagine the possibili
ty of the great cause of every other,
(each of which is but the effect of a pri
or) to exist as a cause only—the ar
nety pe oi useir—in iact to conceive a
hing to be, without a beginning. vfys
trricus as this may appear to us of fi
nite s^nse (yet not so finite but that)
we can see, and prove the impossibil
tv ol its being otherwise ! Inspecting
the existence of ma*ter, m .ny very pi
nna and learned men have contended
against it:—yet, the powers of whit
we call matter, such as attraction, and
repulsion, are granted and no satis
facio<y alternative has ever been ad
vanced,
Mr. Price unanswerably asks,4* what
is that whi< h attracts, and id attracted*
repels, and is repelled?” Now, if a
uy truths are acknowledged to bvr in
tuitively certain, they are these, vz.
14 that power cannot be without a sub
ject,** and*4 nothing can ait where it is
not.” Therefore, if there be nothing*
exclusive ol attraction, and repulsion,
it mu3t be the po\v«-r of nothing, which
is a palpable eon r.t iictiorv
No man would ever do the acr of
denying his ability to act, i. e. would
tleny his existence; consequently he
must grant that something now exists.
There must something always have ex
isted, (foi had there cvfr been a time
when nothing was, nothing ever must
have rcm.i.n 1) or that which never
exists niuit have b< en creatt d hy no.,
thing, or mu^t have created itself, act
ing before it existed—than which sup
positions omhing can l>c ware absturf.
