An Account of the American Cotton Manufactory, established at Philadelphia, (Continued from yesterday's paper.)
THE committee of the board of managers of the Pennsylvania Society of Arts and Manufactures, to whom was referred the report of the manufacturing committee concerning their transactions and the present state of factory, having conferred with those gentlemen, and fully invested and considered the subject, deem it their duty to offer the following facts, and remarks thereon, with a view to public information.
In the latter part of the year 1787, the Society had obtained subscriptions to an amount sufficient to enable them to open a factory. The general wish of the manufacturing committee, at that time, was to obtain some of those machines, which, by a substitution for manual labor, enable the most agricultural countries to manufacture to very great advantage; but as nothing of that kind could be then obtained, and as the approaching winter made the employment of the poor a great object, and further, as the latter was deemed by many one of the principal ends to be obtained by a publick factory, they determined to purchase a quantity of flax, which they dealt out for spinning to between two and three hundred women. The manufacturing committee were of opinion, that little profit could be expected from making linen, flax being worth at that time 10d 1-2 per pound, and they had then no demand for linen yarn for any other fabric. Thus circumstanced, a large quantity of linen yarn was spun of flax, which cost from 9d to 10d 1-2 per lb. and for some parcels even 11d was paid. Out of this thread 2040 yards of linen were made, without much expectation of profit, and a sufficient quantity remained to make the chain of near 16000 yards of plain cottons, fustians, jeans and corduroys; of which however but little more than half that quantity is yet manufactured. From the zeal and activity of the members of the Society, measures were at length fallen on to obtain two complete machines, one for carding raw cotton, and the other (known by the name of a Jenny) for spinning cotton yarn. Animated by this acquisition, the manufacturing committee were enabled (on the 12th April, 1788) to begin the manufacture of jeans, cottons and fustians, which were very substantial and good, and were eagerly bought up at the same prices as the foreign by people of various circumstances and situations in life, until the want of demand for summer clothing put a stop to the sale for the present year. The committee, however, being unable to procure some necessary implements for cutting and finishing winter cotton goods, such as corduroys, thicksets and velverets, have been obliged, contrary to their wishes and the evident interest of the subscribers, to continue the manufacture of summer articles, when they should have been preparing for the winter demand, and have therefore only wove 749 yards of federal rib and corduroys, and these were all unfinished on the 20th of September, for want of the implements mentioned above.
By the statement of the stock or manufacturing fund on the 23d of August, a profit appears of £.72 4 9 1-2, though the goods sold amounted to no more than £.448 5 11 1-2. Your committee find from a careful examination, that the then remaining goods might be expected to yield a profit also; but they think it best and safest to form their estimate upon the whole value of the manufactures made at that period. They remark then that goods made in the factory up to August 23d, to the amount of £.732 14 11, have yielded a profit of £.72 4 9 1-2 clear of all expences, that is 10 per cent. in 4 months, or 10 per cent. upon each operation: for from temporary difficulties, of which some have been mentioned and others are yet to be stated, there have not been sales to the amount of the little sum of circulating money with which the committee commenced their business, though four, five or even six operations might be performed in a year. Thus it appears, that this new and untried business has, in the first essay of an inexperienced but a judicious committee, produced a profit at the rate of 30 per cent. per annum on the active capital.
(To be continued.)
To be Sold,
THAT valuable estate, formerly the property of John Zabriski, lying at the New Bridge on Hackensack River, long noted as the best stand for trade in the State of New-Jersey. The estate consists of a large well-built stone house, which has lately been thoroughly repaired; a grist-mill with two run of stones; an excellent new kiln for drying grain, built lately; some other out-buildings, and about forty acres of land. The whole lying on the bank of the river, by which the produce of the country can be conveyed in a few hours to New-York, and the sloops may load and discharge along side the mill. Further description of a place so well known would be unnecessary. Terms may be known by applying at No. 55, in King Street, New-York, or on the premises. October 15.
NEW-YORK, Nov. 21.
By yesterday's southern mail we are informed that the Legislature of Virginia on the 8th inst. appointed the Hon. RICHARD HENRY LEE and WILLIAM GRAYSON, Esquires, the representatives of that Commonwealth in the Senate of the United States. They have also passed several important resolutions, which, for want of time, we are obliged to omit till to-morrow.
On Monday the 10th inst. his excellency THOMAS JOHNSON, esq. was elected governor of the state of Maryland.
Yesterday arrived the ship Bristol, Adamson, from Bristol, in 42 days; brig William Henry, Quin, Dominica; Princess Ann, Law, Aberdeen; Endeavor, Watson, Turks-Island; schooner Maria, Martin, Barbadoes; sloop Hawke, Trowbridge, Martinico; New-York Packet, Cahoon, Lady Haley, Tillinghast, and Peggy, Cahoon, Rhode-Island.
London Papers (to the 6th October), received per the ship Bristol, Capt. Adamson, in 42 days from Bristol, afford the following extracts:
L O N D O N, October 4. The prince of Cobourg has joined Marshal de Spley; and their combined army have marched to Onetie, and garrisoned July.
The Turks lately evinced a wonderful spirit of cruel vengeance. They shut up a number of Austrian prisoners in a house which was kept as a quarantine residence for passengers between Turkey and Austria; and pretending that those unfortunate people were infected with the plague, the Turkish officers gave orders to set fire to the building, by which above fifty brave christians perished in the flames.
It is imagined, that in the new arrangement in France, his Excellency COUNT O'KELLY will be appointed to a situation in the Cabinet. He was lately Minister Plenipotentiary from the King of France to the Court of Dresden; and has now the same character at the Court of the Elector of Mentz. In consequence of a special order from the King, he returned to France last month, for a few days; and was introduced to an audience of his Majesty by the Count de Montmorin, Minister for Foreign Affairs. This audience has occasioned much speculation at Court: the reception of Count O'KELLY, by his Majesty was singularly gracious; and the behavior of the Count de Montmorin to him was remarkably respectful.
About ten days ago, a messenger arrived at Berlin from Peterburgh, with dispatches which occasioned the sitting of a Council: this Council sat several hours, and at its rising, expresses were instantly dispatched to the generals commanding at Stettin, Konigsberg, and in Prussian Guelderland. From this circumstance it was conjectured that Prussia might soon be involved in a war allied as she is with Holland, it is on the side of France alone that she can have any thing to fear for her possessions in Guelderland—for in the Austrian Netherlands there is scarcely a sufficient number of troops to protect the country; certainly not to invade that of a neighbour.
Nothing in Russia affords the least room to hope, that during the winter, peace may be restored between the Belligerent Powers: on the contrary, every thing looks as if the war was to be prosecuted with redoubled vigour. A very numerous military promotion lately took place at Peterburgh, in which four were promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Generals, eleven to that of Major-Generals, and twenty-six to that of Colonels.
Extract of a letter from the Hague, Sept. 25. The English Ambassador, now Lord Shelburne, has, since his last arrival from London, had several interviews with the Stadtholder and the President, and other officers of the States-General. It is certainly intended to consolidate and strengthen the alliance between this country, England, and Prussia, as far as is practicable, which is the more necessary, considering the present situation of affairs. A stand here may give laws to Europe.
The several foreign mails, that are due, must retain the general anxiety unsatisfied for some time longer. They are expected, when they come, to be pregnant with information, there having been, for the last two or three weeks, the greatest probability of a decisive engagement by land, between the Turks and the Imperialists, and by sea between the Russians and the Swedes.
The remonstrances of our ministers to the cabinet of Versailles have had the desired effect: the French camp in Flanders is now breaking up, and the men going into winter quarters; and to contradict every opinion of their being quickly assembled again, the regiments are ordered to different parts of the kingdom.
Saturday morning some dispatches were received from New-York, which were brought over in his majesty's packet-boat, the Sandwich, captain Dillon. They contain an account of every thing remaining quiet, trade remarkably brisk, and that a great many ships had arrived from London.
The admiralty has sent orders for a ship of 110 guns to be built; and she is to be named the Ville de Paris, after the large first rate taken in the action of the 12th of April. This famous ship, in her way to England, was cast away in a hurricane.
General Sir William Faucett, who has not been heard of at St. James's for some weeks past, is said to be making some fresh connections among the German powers, as subsidiaries to Great-Britain, as well as to explain some parts of the late treaty with the court of Hesse not sufficiently clear.
A new board of trade is established by the court of Lisbon. The visconde de Villanova de Cerveira is the president.
A few weeks now must put an end to the operations of the belligerent powers, and the campaign is likely to terminate without a battle, or without giving to the combined empires a single trophy. This is real triumph to the Ottoman arms, and this alone is necessary to give them complete success. It would be supererogation in them to beat the enemy.
By private letters from Presburg, we are informed that in the end of August a body of troops, consisting of 4000 Wallachians, 1000 Janissaries and about 5000 Moldavians and Georgians, had marched from Tergoviste to Argis, on their way to Hermanstadt; which place they mean to attack whenever their artillery arrives.
Their chief engineer is a Frenchman, and is conducting the artillery from Silesia.
The Transylvanians are making every preparation they think necessary; several thousand troops have arrived at Hermanstadt from Wilsemburg, Bistritz and Clausenburg. They seem confident of obtaining victory, and eagerly wish for the approach of the enemy.
The Turkish army is commanded by the Aga of the Janissaries, who is intoxicated with the thoughts of conquering the whole province of Transylvania, and is continually railing at the French engineer, for not yet having joined him, without whose assistance he is afraid to proceed.
The Aga has placed such hopes of success and reputa-
tion on event of this enterprise, that the conflict will be bloody and desperate.
NOSE AND SHIN-PLAISTER. Having attentively considered the deplorable situation to which many have been reduced, by breaking their shins and noses against the posts and corners of the streets, on very dark nights, when "no cheering lamp appeared to guide their trembling steps, and dismal clouds had swallowed up the moon,"—We the subscribers do hereby most respectfully offer our services to all the worthy citizens of New-York, who are under the necessity of walking the streets at night, and consequently are liable to be knocked down every moment, by all the posts, pumps, negroes, vagabonds and pickpockets they meet. In order to remedy which, without applying to the directors of the watch, the lamp-lighters or aldermen,—we have prepared an infallible cement, or nose and shin plaster, which will in a moment splice a broken limb, or cure a bloody nose.—Price 5s. per pot, with directions.

THE AMERICAN MAGAZINE, AND UNIVERSAL REGISTER.
FOR JANUARY, 1789. Being No. I of Volume II. BY A SOCIETY OF GENTLEMEN.
THE extensive circulation of the American Magazine for the year past, has induced a desire to enlarge its plan very considerably; and by adding to it a UNIVERSAL REGISTER, to embrace a variety of important objects, which were beyond the reach of a work of this kind in the ordinary method. Instead of confining its view to light essays, and valuable fugitive pieces, the present design is to trace to their source, the historical and political contents of the United States. The efforts of an individual, however strenuous, would be unequal to so arduous an undertaking; in consideration of which, the original proprietor was led to the idea of associating a number of LITERARY CHARACTERS, in hopes that their united exertions might produce a work worthy of a place in the Libraries of the Literati—not only entertaining to readers of the present day, but eminently useful to posterity. Several gentlemen, therefore, are now united as proprietors, and have already possessed themselves of many valuable materials; of which that extensive and important collection made by EBENEZER HAZARD, Esq.—the Records of the United Colonies of New-England, and Gov. Winthrop's Journal, or History of the settlement of Massachusetts, form a part.
Their plan is to publish monthly; and that each publication shall consist of 104 pages, 56 of which will contain such useful and entertaining essays, in prose and verse, as are usually found in Magazines. The remainder will be devoted to American State Papers, such as Royal Grants, Charters, Commissions, Instructions, &c. &c. whether to companies or individuals, with other interesting official papers, and authentic manuscripts which respect the Discovery, Settlement, and History of America, and particularly of the UNITED STATES. These will be arranged in chronological order.
It has been often observed that the Anglo Americans are the only people on earth who can trace their history by the indubitable testimony of authentic records and unmutated original papers: and it has been as frequently lamented by the lovers of useful science, that no particular account of the origin and complete establishment of this rising empire hath yet been given to the world. The documents upon which it should be founded, have never been heretofore collected for public inspection; and it is degrading to seek for such a work in a foreign country.
The utility and very interesting nature of this undertaking are so obvious, that the Proprietors cannot but flatter themselves they shall be favored with the public patronage, which they earnestly solicit; and that generous subscriptions will enable them to prosecute with spirit the most expensive attempt of the kind which has ever been made in America.
From the advantageous situation of New-York—its extensive and increasing commerce—its being the seat of Federal Government, and consequently the center of intelligence, will be derived many peculiar advantages: But on a very extensive correspondence, and on an unequalled mass of materials already collected, the proprietors rest their principal hopes of success.
Gentlemen suitably qualified in the different professions are engaged to furnish the proprietors of this work with impartial reviews of new publications.
Religious and political controversies will not be admitted into this Magazine.
The first volume of the Register will contain, among other curious papers, the Pope's Bull, confirming the right to the West-Indies to Spain; and the grant to Cabot and his sons for discovering unknown countries.
CONDITIONS. I. The Magazine will be published monthly; and consist of fifty six pages, printed on fine paper, and new letter; containing all the variety of useful and entertaining essays, in prose and verse, which is usual in such publications, and be delivered to subscribers at HALF A GUINEA a year. This part of the work may be subscribed for separately.
II. Forty-eight pages of state papers, or American history, will be annexed to the Magazine monthly. This part of the work will also be executed on fine paper and a new type, and the pages numbered as to form separate volumes.—The price of the Magazine, with this addition, making 1248 pages, will be THREE DOLLARS a year.
III. No money is required at the time of subscribing, but the most punctilious payments will be expected at the end of every six months.
Gentlemen of leisure and ingenuity are requested to favor the proprietors with original essays; and all communications addressed to the Editor of the American Magazine and Universal Register, sent free of expence, to the Printing-Office of FRANCIS CHILD, No. 190, Water-street, New-York, will be gratefully received, and duly attended to.
The present subscribers for the American Magazine, who also with to be supplied with the Register, are desired to signify it to those persons with whom they left their subscriptions.

RAN AWAY from the subscriber in Elizabethtown, on Friday last, the 31st of October, a Negro Man, named HECTOR, of a yellow complexion, slender built, about 30 years old, five feet six inches high, had on when he went away, a light coloured waist, two trousers, old shoes and no stockings except a pair he may have stolen, of light coloured hempen, which he was accused of taking, the conviction of which has probably caused him to run away. His hat was made wool, and almost worn out. His left arm is smaller than his right one, and has a large lump on it near the elbow, occasioned by the wound of a ball, as a scar very near it from a hurt when a child. He is much addicted to drinking and lying and is very talkative. He was conveyed from the Jersey Shore Saturday last, the 1st instant, by Simon Vanderkamps of Staten-Island, and from Staten-Island by Joseph Declye a boatman from that place on Monday last, the 2d inst. and landed at White Hall, in New-York. He told Declye he was going to Mr. Stevens's Ferry stable. Any person taking up and securing said negro so that the owner may have him again, shall be entitled to the above reward, and reasonable charges paid, by SAMUEL SMITH. Elizabethtown, Nov. 4, 1788.

COAL TAR. A Quantity of this Tar, and of black and clear Varnish extracted from Coal, is just arrived, to be sold for ready money only, by Charles Wilkes, No. 12, Hanover-square. The sole Agent in America for the British Tar Company. THE superior excellence of this Tar in pre- serving the bottoms of vessels from the worms, and in keeping them clean, has been proved by repeated experiments. It has been also found to be an effectual preservative of cast and wrought iron from rust. A description of the different kinds of Coal Tar and Varnish made by the British Tar Company, and of the various uses they may be applied to with the greatest advantage, with directions for using them, may be had as above. 29th Sept. 1788.
The following Certificate of an Experiment made in New-York, is added for the information of the Public. New-York, April 26, 1788. WE the subscribers do hereby certify that on or about the 18th June last, we attended at Van Tuyll's wharf, on the East river, in this city, where we examined three pieces of timber, all of the same dimensions, one payed over with Lord Dundonald's late invented Coal Tar, the other, two pieces with a stout thick coat of common ship stuff (pitch, tar, oil, and sulphur); that we after- wards saw them all chained to and sunk along side said wharf.
That nearly six months after, to wit, on the 5th of December following, we again attended at said wharf, when in our presence they were all taken up, and on examining them, the piece done over with the Coal Tar appeared clean and entirely free from grass and barnacles, the other pieces were both very foul, one of them was almost covered with barnacles; that on cutting them in several places we found the worms in full possession of the two pieces payed with the ship stuff, scarcely an inch having escaped them. The piece done over with the Coal Tar was perfectly free from them, and as sound and fresh as when put down. From the above experiment we are fully of opinion that the Coal Tar will preserve the bot- tom of ships from barnacles and the worms, and is worthy of the greatest encouragement.
