WANTED by the Subscribers a quantity of Hogs Bristles, for which two shillings per pound will be given, provided they are dressed clean; those in the rough, one shilling and three pence per do. the subscribers having erected a BRUSH MANUFACTORY, at No. 4, Peck-slip, where they propose carrying on the brush-making business, in all its various branches. Store-keepers and others may be furnished on as low terms as any imported, to which they hope the preference will be given them, as the work is equally good, if not better. They will warrant their work not to fail till worn out by use, and flatter themselves with an expectation of getting a sufficient supply of this country bristles, that they may not be under the necessity of importing their stock from England. The farmers, by being careful in the season of killing, may save sufficient to supply them in this business. Country store-keepers would be the most proper persons to collect them.
Those who will please to undertake the collecting them, will meet with a ready sale, and be a means of promoting a very useful branch of business which may be carried on in this State, and put a stop to the importing that commodity.

THE FEDERALIST, No. 3.
To the People of the State of New-York.
IT is not a new observation that the people of any country (if like the Americans intelligent and well informed) seldom adopt, and steadily persevere for many years in, an erroneous opinion respecting their interests. That consideration naturally tends to create great respect for the high opinion which the people of America have so long and uniformly entertained of the importance of their continuing firmly united under one Federal Government, vested with sufficient powers for all general and national purposes.
The more attentively I consider and investigate the reasons which appear to have given birth to this opinion, the more I become convinced that they are cogent and conclusive.
Among the many objects to which a wise and free people find it necessary to direct their attention, that of providing for their safety seems to be the first. The safety of the people doubtless has relation to a great variety of circumstances and considerations, and consequently affords great latitude to those who wish to define it precisely and comprehensively.
At present I mean only to consider it as it respects security for the preservation of peace and tranquility, as well against dangers from foreign arms and influence, as from dangers of the like kind arising from domestic causes. As the former of these comes first in order, it is proper it should be the first discussed. Let us therefore proceed to examine whether the people are not right in their opinion, that a cordial Union under an efficient national government, affords them the best security that can be devised against hostilities from abroad.
The number of wars which have happened or will happen in the world, will always be found to be in proportion to the number and weight of the causes, whether real or pretended, which provoke or invite them. If this remark be just, it becomes useful to inquire, whether so many just causes of war are likely to be given by United America , as by disunited America ; for if it should turn out that United America will probably give the fewest, then it will follow that, in this respect, the union tends most to preserve the people in a state of peace with other nations.
The just causes of war for the most part arise either from violations of treaties, or from direct violence. America has already formed treaties with no less than six foreign nations, and all of them, except Prussia, are maritime, and therefore able to annoy and injure us. She has also extensive commerce with Portugal, Spain, and Britain, and with respect to the two latter, has in addition the circumstance of neighbourhood to attend to.
It is of high importance to the peace of America, that she observe the laws of nations towards all these powers, and to me it appears evident that this will be more perfectly and punctiliously done by one national government, than it could be either by thirteen separate States, or by three or four distinct confederacies.
Because when once an efficient national government is established, the best men in the country will not only consent to serve, but also will generally be appointed to manage it; for although town or country, or other contracted influence may place men in State Assemblies, or Senates, or courts of justice, or executive departments; yet more general and extensive reputation for talents and other qualifications, will be necessary to recommend men to offices under the national government—especially as it will have the widest field for choice, and never experience that want of proper persons, which is not uncommon in some of the States. Hence it will result, that the administration, the political counsels, and the judicial decisions of the national government will be more wise, systematical and judicious, than those of individual States, and consequently more satisfactory with respect to other nations, as well as more safe with respect to us.
Because under the national government, treaties and articles of treaties, as well as the laws of nations, will always be expounded in one sense, and executed in the same manner—whereas adjudications on the same points and questions, in thirteen States, or in three or four confederacies, will not always accord or be consistent; and that as well from the variety of independent Courts and Judges, appointed by different and independent governments, as from the different local laws and interests which may affect and influence them. The wisdom of the Convention in committing such questions to the jurisdiction and judgment of Courts appointed by, and responsible only to one national government, cannot be too much commended.
Because the prospect of present loss or advantage, may often tempt the governing party in one or two States to swerve from good faith and justice; but those temptations not reaching the other States, and consequently having little or no influence on the national government, the temptation will be fruitless, and good faith and justice be preserved. The case of the treaty of peace with Britain, adds great weight to this reasoning.
Because even if the governing party in a State should be disposed to resist such temptations, yet as such temptations may, and commonly do result from circumstances peculiar to the State, and may affect a great number of the inhabitants, the governing party may not always be able, if willing, to prevent the injustice meditated, or to punish the aggressors. But the national Government, not being affected by those local circumstances, will neither be induced to commit the wrong themselves, nor want power or inclination to prevent, or punish its commission by others.
So far therefore as either designed or accidental violation of treaties and of the laws of nations afford just causes of war, they are less to be apprehended under one general government, than under several lesser ones, and in that respect, the former most favours the safety of the people.
As to those just causes of war which proceed from direct and unlawful violence, it appears equally clear to me, that one good national Government affords vastly more security against dangers of that sort, than can be derived from any other quarter.
Because such violences are more frequently caused by the passions and interests of a part than of the whole, of one or two States than of the Union. Not a single Indian war has yet been occasioned by aggressions of the present Federal Government, feeble as
it is; but there are several instances of Indian hostilities having been provoked by the improper conduct of individual States, who either unable or unwilling to restrain or punish offences, have given occasion to the slaughter of many innocent inhabitants.
The neighbourhood of Spanish and British territories, bordering on some States, and not on others, naturally confines the causes of quarrel more immediately to the borderers. The bordering States if any, will be those who, under the impulse of sudden irritation, and a quick sense of apparent interest or injury, will be most likely by direct violence, to excite war with those nations; and nothing can so effectually obviate that danger as a national Government, whose wisdom and prudence will not be diminished by the passions which actuate the parties immediately interested.
But not only fewer just causes of war will be given by the national Government, but it will also be more in their power to accommodate and settle them amicably. They will be more temperate and cool, and in that respect, as well as in others, will be more in capacity to act advisedly than the offending State. The pride of States as well as of men, naturally disposes them to justify all their actions, and opposes their acknowledging, correcting or repairing their errors and offences. The national Government in such cases will not be affected by this pride, but will proceed with moderation and candour, to consider and decide on the means most proper to extricate them from the difficulties which threaten them.
Besides it is well known that acknowledgments, explanations and compensations are often accepted as satisfactory from a strong united nation, which would be rejected as unsatisfactory, if offered by a State or confederacy of little consideration or power.
In the year 1683 the State of Genoa having offended Louis the XIVth. endeavoured to appease him. He demanded that they should send their Doge or chief magistrate, accompanied by four of their Senators to France to ask his pardon and receive his terms. They were obliged to submit to it for the sake of peace. Would he on any occasion either have demanded, or have received the like humiliation from Spain, or Britain, or any other powerful nation?
PUBLIUS.
Messrs. LOUDON,
IN your paper of the 26th ult. you give us some remarks on Mr. Wright's sermon, preached in St. Paul's church, on Thursday the 12th of that month, under the signature of Paulus, and in your paper of the 30th an answer to Paulus, under the signature of Aftyanax; and in your paper of the 2d inst. another piece signed Anti-Paulus.
I am truly sorry to see this extraordinary sermon taken up, in this ludicrous point of light; for however inferior in point of composition, and however ridiculous some of his allusions and illustrations; yet considering the sacred character he sustained, as a Minister of Christ, he was the object of pity, rather than of ridicule; while the discourse itself was below contempt.
And thus both he and it would have, no doubt, been treated, had it been delivered on an ordinary occasion—but when he is considered as preaching by appointment, before his Bishop and a number of the other clergy of his church, on the solemn occasion of an ordination , it assumes an importance to which it would not otherwise have been entitled. It is this that occasions any notice being taken of the offensive sentiments, he then delivered.
By the offensive sentiments , I do not mean his asserting the divine right of Episcopacy, as held by his church; for, however the Protestant churches, both in Europe and America, differ from them on this subject, they have an undoubted right to think for themselves; and not only so, but to assert their principles, and essay their defence, whenever they may think it proper; and they have moreover, an undoubted right to act upon them. To be offended with any of these, would be illiberal and unchristian.
The matter of offence was his vilifying and insulting , not the ministers of any particular denomination, but the gospel ministry and every Protestant church, but his own. His not only declaring their administrations in the most express manner null and void, notwithstanding their pretended ordinations , as he styled them—his declaring them, to use one of his own singular phrases, " injurious to God, and wholly useless to the people ;" but his declaring, that as the man who affixes a seal to an instrument, unauthorized for that purpose, not only does not thereby give it any authenticity, but is guilty of forgery; so the man who administers the seals of the Gospel Covenant, Baptism and the Lord's Supper, not being ordained agreeably to the constitution and rules of his mother church , as he expressed it, is guilty of sacrilege, impiety and blasphemy .
It is true his friend Aftyanax tells us, that "so far as he recollects the Rev. Preacher confined the terms sacrilege, impiety and blasphemy , to those who presume to officiate, as Ministers of the Gospel, without any external mode of designation to that sacred employment." This indeed is no small evidence of Aftyanax's charity, that covers a multitude of faults; but whatever honor it may do the goodness of his heart, it does not much honor to his powers of recollection.—Can Aftyanax have forgotten the solicitude Mr. Wright discovered, especially under his second head of discourse, lest he should be understood in this very point of light? The pains he took to guard against his being thus mistaken? The repeated and diversified assertions, by which he extended his reproaches to the ministry of every church, not ordained in his divine mode, calling them pretended ordinations ; and by which he appropriated the right of ordaining men to the sacred ministry, to the mode of his own church, and to her mode alone? Can Aftyanax have forgotten that among other evidences, or if you please illustrations, of the divine right of Episcopal ordination, he told his audience "that though Priests could beget children for the church, Bishops alone could beget fathers for the church ?"
Besides Aftyanax knows, Mr. Wright himself cannot but know, that though there are some denominations of Christians, who permit persons to preach "without any external mode of designation to that sacred employment;" yet there is no denomination with whom baptism and the Lord's supper are in practice; but have some external mode of designating their ministers of religion, to that sacred employment; and that this mode is nearly the same in all, and very solemn in its nature .
Little did this young man think, when thus dealing round his firebrands, arrows and death, that he was wounding his Bishop so deeply; that he was telling him to his face, he was not a member of Christ's visible church—for he received the ordinance of baptism from the hands of one of those men, whose administrations, according to the Rector, are injurious to God and wholly useless to the people . And is the Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church of New-York, not so much as a member of Christ's visible kingdom? and was that holy and venerable man of God, the Rev. Mr. Dubois, who adorned his profession, and magnified his office, as a minister of Christ, for half a century, in this city, a sacrilegious, impious blasphemer ? and was he guilty of sacrilege, impiety and blasphemy in the very act of administering the holy ordinance of baptism, to this young heir to Episcopal dignity? So saith Mr. Wright; and uncontradicted too by his Bishop, or any of his brethren. Whither do the ignorance and bigotry of men hurry them!
How awkward the situation, how pitiable the case of men, whose principles involve such absurdities! Who, to be consistent, must unchurch the whole Protestant world but themselves.—Consider them as heathens, and yet dare not treat them as such! 'O! my soul come not thou into their secret, unto their assembly mine honor be not thou united.'
I am at a loss to account for Aftyanax's illiberal and unmerited asperity against the pieces signed Amicus , and A friend to equal liberty , that appeared in your papers, some time since. What do these pieces more than politely remind the gentlemen of the Episcopal communion, that their church is assuming a new form in America—that prudence dictates caution on their part in these circumstances; lest they call up that old spirit of animosity that so unhappily subsisted between them and the other Protestant Churches in the city, before the revolution; and which was occasioned by their affecting a superiority over them, as being a branch of the establishment of South-Britain; and their having a partial establishment in four of the counties in the province? They remind them, that in order to this, they must beware of holding the language and assuming the airs by which they were wont to exhibit and assert these claims to superiority.—And at the same time, assure them, with decency and firmness, that the evidences of such claims, whenever they appear, will not pass without notice? Why all this chagrin at this friendly admonition? unless they are determined to revive these claims in their present independent state, with the same spirit they were asserted before the revolution; even though it should cost them the friendship of the other Protestant churches in the city, and that of their clergy?
Aftyanax imputes the remarks he complains of in the above papers, to envy, "merely because they themselves cannot rise to the same superiority"—In this he is greatly mistaken, for the gentlemen whom he thus reproaches can assure him, with great truth, that though they consider the Episcopal church as a respectable branch of the church of Christ, they see nothing in her that is the object of envy. Not their Bishops , or their obtaining them —they are essential to their form of church government—they had therefore a right to them; and the liberal minded of all other churches rejoice at their obtaining them, in a way agreeably to their own consciences, and consistent with the rights of other denominations; much less do they envy these Bishops the title of right reverend , since they enjoy it at the expence of their reputation, in point of humility and prudence. "It is indeed such an aping the dignitaries of the established church in England," and such a fighting after their honours, seeing they cannot enjoy their emoluments, as are altogether unworthy the ministers of the humble Saviour, not to add the impolicy of the measure, in the new forming state of their church in America. By this ill-judged and ill-timed claim to superiority, they become not the objects of envy, but of jealousy. And these, no doubt, were among the reasons that induced the elderly and more judicious lay members of the communion that gave it to them, to oppose the measure; for it is no secret, that the vote was carried by the younger members among the laity, joining with the clergy in it. They are however well-come to it, and all the other patronages of their office.
To what shall we attribute the profound silence observed by their Bishop and his clergy, on the sentiments taught by Mr. Wright, in their presence, and as their mouth? No public notice has been taken of them by way of disavowal. Nor can I find that either of these gentlemen have so much as called upon any of the clergy of the other churches, to apologize for the wanton and unprovoked insult hereby offered them, and the churches under their care; though more than a fortnight has passed since that time.
They may console themselves however not only in " humility being the way to true honour ," as Aftyanax, with a leer, advises; but they may, and no doubt do console themselves , in their being in possession of the true Scriptural ordination, instituted by Christ their Lord—that they are his ministers upon this apostolic plan—that they have the suffrage of all the Protestant churches in their favour—that God has blessed them with the esteem of their people, and their fellow-citizens, and with usefulness in the churches. They may farther console themselves, that they can embrace these gentlemen as ministers of Christ; (for they have the essentials of a christian ordination among them) however they may reproach them, in return, as sacrilegious, impious blasphemers —that they can compassionate their infirmities, forgive their injuries and esteem their persons: And what is more, they can, and no doubt will console themselves, in a firm determination that they will, "if it be possible, as much as lieth in them, to live peaceably with all men." And that, in conformity to this divine precept, the only strife they will have, in future, with these their angry brethren (if they may dare to call them brethren) shall be, who of them will love their Master most, and study and labour to promote his cause and honor, and the good of precious souls, with the greatest zeal, humility, diligence and faithfulness.

In the Tartar from Greenland, which is just come up, the following circumstance is noticeable: Having received some damage amongst the ice, she
was turned up on the ice, and the damage was repaired while she lay there. This is said to be the first experiment that ever was tried of the kind.
As a remarkable instance of the vicissitudes of human fortunes, it is not unworthy of notice, that Alston Smith , formerly an Esquire, and possessed of a fortune of 1500l. per annum, is now the common driver of the Manchester commercial stage coach: And the memorable Lady Ligonier (now Mrs. Brown) was one of his passengers to Manchester on Sunday le night.
The following singular and providential escape deserves to be recorded.—During one of the late violent thunder storms, a party who were met at the house of a gentleman of the first rank in the county of Limerick, pushed about the bottle with so much celerity, that one of the company, tired with the fatigue of the evening, stole off to bed. His friends soon missed him, determined una voce , that it was dishonorable for an Irishman to retreat from his bottle, and resolved to bring him back to his duty; for which laudable purpose the whole party ran up to his bed-chamber, dragged him out of bed, wrapped him up in his dressing-gown, bore him in triumph to the head of the table, and placed him in the President's chair. At the moment this was done, a violent flash of lightning struck through the roof of the house, perforated the different floors, passed through the centre of the bed which the gentleman had the moment before quitted, to the cellar, where it made a deep hole.
Remarkable alteration in the colour of a Negro woman, communicated to the Royal Society.—A cook-maid, a native of Virginia, about forty years of age, remarkably healthy, of a strong and robust constitution, had her skin originally as dark as that of the most swarthy Africans; but about fifteen years ago, she observed that membrane in the parts next adjoining to the finger nails, to become white. Her mouth soon underwent the same change, and the phenomenon hath since continued gradually to extend itself over the whole body; so that every part of its surface is become more or less the subject of this surprising alteration. In her present state four parts in five of the skin are white, smooth, and transparent, as in a white European, elegantly shewing the ramifications of the subjacent blood vessels: the parts remaining sooty, daily lose their blackness, and in some measure partake of the prevailing colour; so that a very few years will, in all probability, induce a total change. The neck and back, along the course of the vertebrae, maintain their pristine hue the most, and in some spots proclaim their original state; the head, face, and breast, with belly, legs, arms and thighs, are almost wholly white; the axillae partly-coloured; the skin of these parts, as far as white, being covered with white hair; were dark, with black. Her face and breast as often as the passions anger, shame, &c. have been immediately observed to glow with blushes, as also when, in pursuance of her business, she has been exposed to the action of the fire some freckles have made their appearance.
A very singular circumstance attended the death of Lieutenant Thompson, who died a few days ago. He had long paid his addresses to a young lady, whose parents had been averse to the match. The morning he died, they were walking out together—after some conversation, they sat down on the grass.—He complained of being very tired, and begged he might repose his head on her lap—she allowed him to do so—on which, laying down his head, he fell into a deep slumber, and died without a groan.
UNITED STATES.
New-York, November 6.
Accounts are arrived at Philadelphia by way of Pittsburgh, from the Commissioners employed to ascertain the northern boundary of Pennsylvania. Some weeks ago, we gave our readers information that on the 29th of August, these gentlemen, assisted by the Commissioners on the part of the State of New-York, were advanced westward to the river Cana-wango , (a northerly branch of the Allegany,) where they crossed at the distance of 195 miles from the beginning, at the bank of the Delaware ; and that they had learned, that the Cana-wango issued from a small lake, near the south-east quarter of Lake Erie. The letters, now received, are two weeks later. The line had two days before, been conducted to Venango or the Beauf river, or French creek , but the distance from Cana-wango is not given. At Venango begins the usual postage to Pittsburgh , a good harbour on Lake Erie. At this place, Captain Jonathan Hart , of Connecticut, with a small company of federal troops, are posted. He was busy erecting works at the distance of a mile and a half from the Old Fort. Some of the Commissioners had penetrated in a boat to Lake Candabque , before mentioned, at the head of the Cana-wango , and through this fine piece of fresh water, which is from three quarters of a mile wide, to four miles wide, has good level land on its banks, and lies much higher than lake Erie; a circumstance which precludes all idea of a water communication between the two lakes. Quitting their boating, these persons took the old path, and after nine miles walk, arrived at the shore of Lake Erie, though the direct distance be, perhaps, no more than seven. The dividing ridge of land, between the two lakes, is within one mile and a half of the lake. Thence the descent to Lake Erie seems to be considerable, probably 100 feet; but a good road may be easily made between them.
Extract of a letter from General Cooke, at Mulberry Grove, State of Franklin, to Major Elholm at Augusta, dated August 28, 1787.
"Col. Typton, the other day appeared with a party of about 50 men, of such as he could raise under pretence of redressing a quarrel that had arisen between our Sheriff and the Sheriff of North-Carolina, though their principal view was to put themselves in possession of our records. This conduct produced a most rapid report, that they had made a prisoner of his Excellency to carry him to North-Carolina, which caused 200 volunteers to repair immediately to the house of Col. Typton before they became sensible of the mistake; and it was only through the influence of his Excellency that the opposite party did not fall a sacrifice to our Franks. During this time, a body of about 1500 veterans embodied themselves in order to rescue their Governor (as they thought) out of the hands of the North-Carolinians, and bring him back to the mountains—an instance that proves our citizens to

have too noble a spirit to yield to slavery, or to relinquish national merit."
His Excellency the Governor of Massachusetts, with advice of his Council, has been pleased to appoint Thursday, the 29th day of November inst. to be observed as a day of public thanksgiving and praise throughout that Commonwealth.
Narrative of the escape of the Countess VALOIS DE LA MOTTE out of the Bastille; written by herself.
The Countess is perhaps the first and only prisoner who ever could find the way out of that place of confinement. The peculiar construction of the building, the number of gates, and the multitude of guards always on the watch, precluded all possibility of a return to the world. But what cannot be effected with the assistance of friends in power, and of money?
For several months before the Countess was in possession of the necessary apparatus; but the private instructions she received from time to time, and the daily expectation she was in of receiving several papers indispensable for her justification, obliged her to put off the much wished-for event.
At last the happy day arrived, and she gave the faithful Maria-Anne, her woman, every necessary instruction, not wishing to have her as a companion through the windings of the infernal labyrinth, lest that person, being universally known, should occasion a fatal discovery. The Countess agreed upon a place of meeting, dressed herself in man's clothes, cut the front part of her hair in the shape usually worn by jockeys in Paris; and, thus equipped, her head buried as it were in a large round hat, half boots on her legs, and a small switch in her hand, she boldly ventured forth, resolved, and being armed for that purpose, to die rather than be taken.
After having opened and shut after her seven different gates, she at last reached an immense yard filled with sitters, so they called the female Cerberi of the place. She addressed herself to one of them, and disguising both her voice and pronunciation, put a piece of gold in her hand, enquiring for her way to the Chapel, where she arrived at last, after paying proper tolls at all the other gates. Left she should be known to some of the sitters, she mixed as fast as she could with a numerous company of visitors then busy in viewing what curiosities there were to be seen. With the whole group she was conveyed by one of the sitters to the outward gate called Porte des champs. There she met her good Maria-Anne, took boat with her, and crossed to the opposite shore.
Notwithstanding her enfeebled state, the Countess had strength enough to walk as far as Charenton, about six miles. They then got into a cart, which carried them three leagues farther. It was impossible, nay dangerous for the two travellers to attempt getting a convenient carriage, and therefore they travelled again on foot the space of 20 miles. Worn out with fatigue, their feet in a most deplorable condition, they were glad to put up at a miserable public house on the road, and there rest the whole night.
The next day they mounted a dung cart, which was going four leagues up the country. There they met with some good natured wagons, who gave them a cart. The Countess, being apprehensive, lest she could be traced, and her dress described, bought in the first place they stopped at, the simple dress of a country girl. The only remaining difficulty was to effect the transformation. For this purpose, she left the town where she had thus provided herself, walked on about three leagues, and then leaving the high road, retired behind a hill, and there changed her clothes, hiding amongst the brambles her manly accoutrements. She then resumed her pedestrian journey. Among numberless fatigues, and much anxiety, avoiding the large towns, putting up at the most wretched hovels, travelling sometimes in carts, oftener on foot; compelled through the inhumanity of a publican, who would not open his door after twelve o'clock, to pass a whole night on the naked earth in Columby Forest, near Luxemburgh; she at last reached the city of Luxemburgh; and from thence a small village called Holrich, where they remained six weeks, under the assumed name of Mademoiselle de Dulain, at one Madame Chiltz's, who treated her in every respect with so much humanity, as must forever engage her utmost gratitude.
No sooner was the Count, her husband apprised of her retreat, than he dispatched after her a trusty person, to bring her over to London, where she arrived on Saturday the 4th of August."
On Saturday evening was married, by the Reverend Mr. Wilson, Capt. ROBERT ELDER to Miss LOGIE, both of this city.
Married lately, in this city, Mr. JOHN HODGES, merchant, of Antigua, to Mrs. LYDIA POLLARD, daughter of Philip Audibert, Esq. of this city.
Died, Nov. 2, at his house in Broad-street, after a lingering illness, PHILIP PH. LIVINGSTON, Esq. late of the Island of Jamaica; a Gentleman greatly respected and universally lamented.
Poughkeepsie, October 31. On Thursday morning the regiment under the command of Col. Van Bunschoten, paraded at this place, and at twelve o'clock marched to a field adjacent to the town, where they were formed into two battalions; and to the great satisfaction of the numerous spectators, they performed the several evolutions with the most accurate exactness, which did the greatest honor to both officers and men. Their appearance and conduct was such, while in the field, that many gentlemen who were unconcerned, and some strangers, declared they exceeded their most sanguine expectations, and were more like regular troops than new militia.—The exercise of the day being over, they were marched from the field through the town, in platoons; when each company were conducted by their officers from the regiment, and after an handsome treat, were discharged—when they retired in the greatest good humour, seemingly well satisfied with their own conduct, and especially that of their officers.

New-York Air Furnace. PETER T. CURTENIUS, & Co. HAVE repaired the New-York Air Furnace, and have procured the best workmen, together with the necessary apparatus to carry on the Manufactory of cast iron in the completest and best manner. Castings made in an Air Furnace, are allowed by all who are acquainted with the nature of Foundries, to be better than what is made in a Blast Furnace; because, in an Air Furnace the ware is made out of the softest and best pig metal, and by its being melted a second time, the scoria, or dross, is expelled, and nothing but the pure metal remains. In a Blast Furnace, the castings are made out of the first smelting of the crude ore, and are more or less mixed with dross, which subjects the ware to be rough and spongy, and often full of cold shuts: The difference, in short, is nearly the same as that between refined and bloomery iron.—The ware they have made is allowed, by good judges to be as light, as smooth and as good as any imported from Europe. This consideration alone, of the ware being as good as the foreign, is a sufficient inducement for an American, to give the preference to the manufactures of his own country; but a more powerful argument for the purchaser to give it a preference is, that it can be afforded (and will be sold) cheaper than the imported ware, all foreign castings being subject to a duty of six per cent. on importation.
The WARE, manufactured at this FURNACE, consists of the following Articles, viz. POTS and kettles of various sizes, from one to fifteen gallons, Tea kettles, Pye pans, Ck'lets, Criddles, Pot-ash kettles and Coolers, Whaling kettles, Boilers for tallow-chandlers and sugar-works, Stoves for fugar-bakers, Mill-cases, Cast bars for fugar-works and distilleries, Rollers and shears for flitting-mills, Hearth and jamb plates, cast agreeable to any pattern that may be sent; Close stoves for workshops, Franklin stoves neatly decorated with carved work, Bathstove-grates elegantly ornamented with carvings, Chimney-backs, Ships cabooses of the new construction, with bake ovens in them, in which the same fire that roasts and boils the meat, bakes the bread, Mill rounds and Gudgeons, Saw-mill cranks, Calcining plates for making pearl-ashes, Cast iron screws for fulling and paper-mills, Fullers plates cast to any size that may be wanted, Sash-weights, Forge-hammers and Anvils, Plow-plates, Half hundreds, Quarters, Fourteen and seven pound weights, Cart, waggon, coach, phaeton, chair and sulkey boxes, &c. &c. N. B. Persons who want any backs or other square, cast agreeable to particular patterns, will please to send their patterns and orders to the FURNACE, near Mr. Atlee's Brewery, or leave them at the house of Peter T. Curtenius, No. 48, Great Dock-street, near the Exchange. New-York, October 18, 1787. 43
