With pleasure we announce
to die public a propofitic nos
James Tacterfon ofßilde hamp
ton, to establish a cotton and
wool manufactory, on the east
end of Long Island, in this flats?,
on an ex ten five f:ale. The
machinery is now making in
New Jersey, and will confab of
twelve looms with double boxes
(together with ail other necefia
ry apparatus) which will weave
ail kinds of broadcloth , carpets,
coverlids , and vejlpatterns. Mr.
Tatterfon also gives notice,
“ that the faCbory will be sub
divided into 2CO (hares at 206
dollars per share the number
of lhares to be encreafed if ad
venturers should offer. On a
fubjeCt so important to the pub
lic as the encouragement of do
intflic manufactures, and its
tendency to render our country
completely independent of fo
reign nations, as well as the ne
cessity of patronizing our own
aruzans, tnd consuming our own
raw materials to as great an ex
tent as possible, but one senti
ment can prevail among native
Americans*—and, for the honor
of this (late, as well as the inter
ests of the union, we hope that
neither this nor any similar at
tempt will prove abortive for
want of public support..

on board and took pcffefficn of

forbidden to come on board;
whlift the British midihipman,
(pointing to a particular man)
ordered him on board; he re
fiifmg they lashed him and ano
ther man round the neck and
dragged them on board the

officer was luffered to come on
board, after relating the circum

the schooner’s detention, and in
formed them they were under
the American flag and had the

prcteClions ; the lieutenant dam
ned their Hag, re gutter and pro

ts SIR,
The day I failed from Boston,
(4th May) we had strong S. W.
wmds. In eroding the Gulph
Stream, the wind blew from
N. N. W. we did not however,
fhipmuch water. On the 13th
and 14th instant, we experienced
a very heavy gale of wind from
N. W. to N. N. W. towards
the close of which we had a suc
cession of as many squalls as I
have experienced formany years.
Several times we bore up and
feudded before the storm ; the
Boat behaved well, and I pro
nounce her perfectly fitfe to cross
the Atlantic.
c< While feudding in the
height of the gale, a sea itruck
and broached us to, owing to
the carelessness of the man at the
helm—Our storm square fail
was split, and blown to atoms,
and our toplaii yard, which was
lashed on deck, was by the force
of the sea, broken into three
pieces ; we then set the storm
fore fail and made very good
weather. With the wind a little
free, we failed 8 miles per hour.
u I am with the greatest repeCl,
Your obedient servant,
Nathaniel Haraden.

of conjeClure may have fome
data to work on, these dull times
we have collected the different

have been fen in, that our

work a traverse and find out
their destination.
