For the Gazette of the United States. ACCOUNT of the FACTORY at PATERSON, NEW-JERSEY. 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- [Whole No. 45)6.] tcrs, &c. who have lately arrived on this continent from England and Ireland, have formed themselves into a company, for the pnrpofe of bleaching and printing calicoes and chintz here—and are a&ually at work with two tables. They perform every part of the work themselves—suck aj drawing, cutting, printing, bkrachl n&c. T hey expect to go very largely into this business in the fpiing. Another company have commenced the manllfaflure of Hea vy Cotton Goods—and a third company are forming for the msnufafluring of tJo fcry on an extensive frale; fukahle build ings being already ere&ed on the lands of the focicty to accommodate them. Should these. fuccecd, it will hold out additional inducements to other adventurers to fix themfelve6 here ; and thereby greatly pro mote the views of the stockholders j as well as augment their funds, extend their operations and encreafe their intertft* 1 hat this may be the desirable issue of the business, is the ardent wish of Dear Sir, Your mod obedient, Humble Servant. P. S. Sundry house lots have beert already fold, and valuable buildings erect ed on them. It is expedited that many applications for house lots will be nude next spring—and that the building < f houses on private account will rapidly increase. * The whole is under the management r f *'' 7 - Colt, a gentleman every <uray. miclifi* ed fur the business, and who arf.vers the mojl sanguine expectations of the Direclori —and lam convinced ihat the lujnrfs null have every advantage, from his ajjiduity and care, of an individual's concern. NEW-YORK, J a „, 22, 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 ved This grateful intelligence comes by Captain White, from St. Thomas's, who put in at Martha's Vineyard, in dis tress, for v. ant of provisions—He bro't with him all the paflengcrs of the Am boy boat.
