Sales at Auction.
On Saturday the 20th April, at 2 o'clock P. M.
Sundry Building and Garden Lots,
Some of them contiguous to, and others at a small distance from the city, containing from about one quarter of an acre to about four acres each. The small lots front on Vine and Callowhill Streets, near Schuylkill—the large lots front on the south side of Francis Street, on the east side of Schuylkill river, on the west side of Schuylkill, second Street, and on intermediate streets—the whole containing about 145 acres, being part of the tract known by the name of Springettbury.
The situation of many of the lots is on high ground, commanding views of the Schuylkill, and supposed to be so much detached from the built parts of the city, as to be out of danger in case of an unhappy return of the fever.
Maps showing the division of the ground, may be seen at the Coffee house, at Ogden's tavern in Chestnut Street, at Sybert's tavern in the Northern Liberties, and at the Middle and Upper Ferries on Schuylkill.
The abundance of stone, for building, on part of the ground, will prove very advantageous to purchasers, as it is proposed to sell at the same time those large quarries on the east side of the Schuylkill, near and above the bridge.
The terms will be cash for the lots of 49 1-2 and 50 feet front, and for those of a larger size one half cash immediately, and the other half to be paid in six months from the day of sale.

New Philadelphia.
THE proprietors of the high ground in the neighbourhood of this city, known by the name of Springettbury Manor, (bounded on the west by the river Schuylkill, on the east by Fourth Street, from Schuylkill, on the north by Francis's Lane, and on the south by Callowhill Street) have agreed to appropriate it for the purpose of building a new city as a summer retreat.
The plan in two sections may be seen at the Coffee house. The Main Street, 100 feet wide, runs nearly east and west along the top of the ridge, striking Schuylkill a little above the upper ferry, where nature has placed everlasting abutments, and stone in abundance to form a permanent bridge of one arch, that cannot be approached by ice or floods.
A tract of 66 feet wide, is laid out on each side of, and parallel to the Main Street. These are crossed by five new streets at right angles, and by the continuation of Front, Second, Third and Fourth streets from Schuylkill.
The situation is high, airy and healthy, and commands an extensive prospect. The water is good. The canal runs obliquely through it.
It is just a sufficient distance from the Delaware for a pleasant walk, to give an appetite to dinner after the business of the day is over.
April 3.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 3.
The Porte has this day communicated to
all the foreign ministers the contents of offi-
cial dispatches received from Aboukir.
The French immediately after their land-
ing in Aboukir, erected a fort, which they
furnished with heavy artillery, partly to de-
fend their shipping, partly to maintain a com-
munication with the sea for their land forces
and partly to prevent a landing from the ships
of their enemy. To drive the French from
this port, the English commodore, Hood,
who kept the harbour of Alexandria blocked
up, detached some Turkish gun boats, which
furiously attacked the fort, and obliged the
French to abandon it. Commodore Hood
then took possession of the fort, and landed
several thousand troops which had been sent
by the Pacha of Rhodes. These troops, after
having compelled the French to retreat,
took such a position as cut off the communi-
cation of the French between Alexandria,
Rosetta, and Cairo. The situation of Bu-
onaparte is by this rendered extremely critical.
He has retired from Cairo, near to Alexan-
dria, as he is in want of provisions and am-
munition, and incessantly attacked by the
Arabs.

Letter from general Championet to the
Executive Directory.
"Citizen Directors,
"Since the actions of Terni, and of
Porto Fermo, I have every day expected to
be attacked by the Neapolitans, and I was
much surprised at their inactivity; but they
employed that time in collecting their scattered
troops, and in moving to my right.
In fact, general Macdonald was attacked
yesterday in his camp, at Cava, Castellam-
by five columns from Benevento. The force of
the enemy amounted to forty thousand men.
General Macdonald, surrounded on all sides,
displayed the greatest talents; he received
the attack with the most distinguished cou-
rage; and, by his skilful dispositions, dis-
concerted the projects of the enemy.
General Kellerman, who commanded the
advanced guard, and who was placed before
Nepi, was attacked by the first column which
came from Monterosi, and which pressed on
with vigor. That general, who had with him
three squadrons of the 19th regiment of
horse chasseurs, two pieces of light artillery,
the third battalion of the 15th light infantry,
and the 1st battalion of the 18th.
This handful of brave men put the column
of the enemy to the route, which amounted
to 8000 men, killed and wounded 400 of
their men, took 13 pieces of cannon of all
sizes, 50 ammunition waggons, and 2000
prisoners, of whom 50 were officers, some

litary administrations, and others who followed the army.
Informed that a sedition was secretly planned, the general tried to prevent its effects, but his endeavors were unsuccessful.
On the 20th of Vendemiaire, (October 24) General Dupuy, commandant of the garrison of Cairo, being informed that a mob was forming at the Grand Mosque, mounted a battery of six guns, and opened fire upon the mob, which dispersed. The Turks in the city said that the discontent occasioned by the reports was the sole cause of the tumult.
Mean while General Dupuy arrived at the Grand Mosque, and tried to disperse the mob, which increased every moment; but he found them refractory, and soon experienced their rage. He endeavoured to repel them by force; but he and his escort were assailed by a great multitude, and he was mortally wounded in two places. Some dragoons also fell, and the others conducted the general to his quarters, where he died some hours after.
This was the signal of insurrection and from the moment the Turks proceeded in crowds to the Grand Mosque, where they fortified themselves, armed with lances, sharp pointed stakes, and some fire arms. Their plot was well laid. They did not confine themselves to assembling in a great number at the Grand Mosque, but each private Moslem formed a fortress for himself, from which they directed their attack or defence.
The general was soon beaten, and the troops assembled. The news of the death of Dupuy excited the soldiers an eager desire of vengeance. Every one flew to arms each Frenchman joined himself to one corps or another.
The General and chief ordered a battalion to march against the Grand Mosque, where the Turks had assembled to the number of eight or ten thousand. They were summoned to surrender, which they absolutely refused. The citadel then fired into the town, and chiefly upon this Mosque, into which some bombs were thrown, which excited terror and despair.
Several battalions were dispersed through the city, and directed against the other Mosques, where mobs were collected; they were attacked at the same time, and all equally repulsed. Obligated to shut themselves up in their Mosques, they saw, but it was too late, their imprudence. The French forced the gates, and made a terrible carnage among them.
But though defeated, they were not beaten; the number of the dead were replaced by fresh insurgents. This day was bloody but the following was more so. Every one, found armed with a cudgel or a stick, ceased to live. The Turks, on their part, had already assassinated several Frenchmen who were found alone in the streets. The hopes of pillage animated them, and they proceeded to attack the houses inhabited by the French. General Caffarelli's house was entirely plundered, and his guard and agents murdered.
On the 2nd Brumaire (October 23) there were still some traces of the transactions of the preceding day, but towards the evening all was calm, and tranquillity began to be restored. The loss of the insurgents is calculated at five or six thousand, and that of the French at about one hundred men killed, and several wounded, chiefly by large stones which the inhabitants threw from the tops of the houses.
In this affair the Greeks, who reside at Cairo, gave the greatest proofs of their courage and attachment to the French: one of them, named Barthelemy, particularly distinguished himself, and has received marks of favour from the General in Chief.
They did not confine themselves to defending our cause; but pointed out those who had taken up arms, and escaped by flight. They made a great number of prisoners, and none who were found to be criminal escaped death.
Some groups of the insurgents fled armed from the town, hoping to escape by a speedy flight, but they were doubly unfortunate. The Arabs of the Desert, who are equally the enemies of all who are foreign to their tribe, pillaged them, and general Danou pursued them closely at the head of the cavalry.
There are just grounds to presume that the chiefs of the religion were, in company with the Mamelukes, the instigators of this revolt; of this there are some unequivocal proofs. In consequence of the inquiries which have been made, several Mamelukes have been found concealed in the houses of Turks; others were dressed as women. All who were discovered, in consequence of the united vigilance of the French and Greeks, have been punished, in virtue of an arrest of the commander in chief anterior to that epoch.
LONDON, Jan. 10. Passavan Oglou has obtained some further advantages over the troops of the Grand Signior.
January 11. THE AMBASSADE. Captain Jenkins, of the Ambuscade frigate has written a letter to Lord Bridport, containing advice of the capture of his ship by the French ship Bayonnaise, mounting 32 guns of different calibres. She was taken after a long and very severe action, in which nine were killed and 31 wounded. Among the former were the lieutenant and master; and captain Jenkins is himself dangerously wounded, and is the lieutenant of marines. The Ambuscade is carried into Rochefort. The Ambuscade carried 32 guns, and was built in 1773.
In addition to the particulars we have already inserted relative to the capture of this frigate, we find the following account in the French papers:
Extract of an Official Letter from Rochefort addressed to the Minister of the Marine. The corvette, the Bayonnaise, mounting 23 eight-pounders, commanded by citizen Richer, Lieutenant des Vaisseaux of the
republic, on her return from Cayenne, and at the distance of only 2 or 30 leagues from the coast of France, was attacked on the 24th Brumaire, (Dec. 14.) by the Ambuscade English frigate of 40 guns, viz 26 six-pounders on the main deck, 8 eight-pounders on the quarter-deck and forecastle, and 6 thirty-six pound carronades.
She was seen and chased at the distance of 40 leagues from the French coast by the Ambuscade English frigate, by which she was at first very roughly handled. The commander of the corvette, and the second in command, were both severely wounded, when the officer of the land troops proposed boarding. Harangued his soldiers, and asked them which they would prefer, chains or glory? The choice was soon made. All hands flew upon the deck eager for a combat, and seemed already assured of victory. The corvette, disregarding the fire of the enemy's broadside, bore up to the frigate and fell upon her stern. At this moment three pieces loaded with grape shot were discharged, which cleared the deck of the frigate a little, and the crew of the corvette took advantage of the confusion to run on board. The shock which took place when the two vessels struck against each other made the mast of the corvette, which had been wounded, fall upon the enemy's deck which thus formed a bridge for our troops. They ran towards the English, who returned and endeavoured to defend themselves with musketry. Their retreat was, however, soon forced, and the French spread everywhere where terror and death.
The French had thirty killed and as many wounded. The loss of the English was much more considerable.
This capture has restored 50 French prisoners to liberty who were on board of the frigate; but they were of no use in the action, as they were confined in the hold.
January 14. The Senate of Hamburg has refused the application of Citizen Marragon to set Napper Tandy at liberty. The French minister has accordingly ceased to have any further communication with the magistrates of that city, and waits for further orders from the directory.
January 23. The court of Spain has categorically refused the demand made by the directory for the passage of an army of 80,000 cavalry destined against Portugal. It is expected that this refusal will produce a total change of measures on the part of the Spanish government.
According to private advices received by the Hamburg mails, it appears probable that Sweden will join Russia in the war against France and in this case it is likely that Denmark will not remain neutral. The king of Sweden having refused to accept of citizen La Marque as French minister, the executive directory has threatened to break off all communications with the court of Stockholm. Since then the alliance between Sweden and Russia has become close. The king of Sweden depends on the powerful assistance of Russia, to keep the states of his kingdom in awe, should they throw any signs of tumult at the approaching meeting of the diet. It is probable that this may be the cause of the king's refusal to receive citizen La Marque, fearing the intrigues of the French government.
January 26. It appears, that the operations of the rebel Pacha, Passavan Oglou, are still attended with success. He is stated to have equipped his troops with clothing destined for the Russian army, which he had captured after the taking of Ochakow.
About twenty thousand of the Neapolitan troops, it is said, laid down their arms to about 8,000 French, who were advancing against the capital. It is understood that the royal family have been able to carry with them the royal jewels, regali and many articles of value. There are, however, in the different arsenals of the kingdom great quantities of naval and military stores, which it is said, cannot be prevented from falling into the hands of the enemy. It is possible too that they may also obtain possession of some of the Neapolitan ships of war.
The next advices are expected to bring the news of the city of Naples, which ranks as the third city in Europe for riches and population, having been delivered up to the pillage of the French soldiery. After having laid the country under contribution till it can pay no more; after having emptied every store and carried off every article of valuable furniture and pictures, the directory will be willing to sell the naked soil to the first rogue who will treat for the purchase of it.
On Saturday messengers were sent off to his Majesty at Windsor, and to the different cabinet ministers, with the above intelligence and on the same day the marquis de Circello attended at the admiralty to learn the particulars which Admiral Nelson's dispatches contained.
We understand, that there is now little expectation of the Emperor being inclined to make an effort to retrieve the fortunes of his Neapolitan Majesty. Indeed, it is whispered, that ministers have received advices both from Vienna and Berlin, which rendered the part which these cabinets are to take no longer doubtful. They have, it is said, positively refused to join the confederacy against France.
February 2. We last night received Paris Journals up to the 16th ultimo, inclusive. They do not state as our readers will see from the extracts we have made, that their army has actually taken possession of Naples, but we understand that ministers have received late advices, which state that they are masters of the city.
The most important information bro't by these Journals, is that no movement has taken place on the part of the great powers of Germany, in consequence of the events in Italy, and no appearance indicates their design of moving. France is therefore left to
consolidate her conquest of Italy, from which she will probably proceed to revolutionize the Greek Islands, with a view of opening to herself a communication with Egypt, and rec'ring her influence and power in the Mediterranean.
Earl Maccartney, late governor of the Cape of Good Hope, is arrived from hence in the Stately man of war, in good health and spirits.
The American ship Juno, Capt Beard, from Amsterdam to Philadelphia, is put in to Cowes short of provisions, having been frozen up in the New deep upwards of three weeks. When capt. Beard left the Texel there were six sail of the line, and four frigates and as many sloops of war ready for sea; and on board two of the frigates and two of the sloops, there were as many troops as possibly could be stowed, destined for a secret expedition.
The following is an official return of French prisoners in Great Britain, to the 19th of January, 1799, inclusive:
 At Portsmouth, 10,576  Plymouth, 8,396  Norman Cross, 4,127  Liverpool, 4,000  Edinburgh, 736  Chatham, 1,298  30,265  Officers, prisoners on Parole.  At Litchfield, 66  Bishop's Waltham, 60  Tiverton, 114  Peebles, 60  300 
SALEM, March 26. The French are improving their time before the new negotiation takes place, to secure themselves against a hard bargain. They draw the cord of amity so tight, as almost to choke. See the following.

Captain Musford arrived yesterday from Bilboa. On his passage out was attacked by a privateer of 12 guns and 80 men, which he beat off, though he had only 6 guns and 12 men, and had afterwards the pleasure to learn that he had killed a few of her men, and shattered her masts so that she was obliged to get new ones. Capt. M. returned home with 16 guns and 30 men. Americans bound to Bilboa must expect to go through fire as well as water.
NEW-YORK, April 2. On the 2d of January three Americans were arrested at Paris and sent to the Temple.
Paris, Jan. 8. Admiral Nelson, on leaving Leghorn, divided his fleet into two squadrons—one failed for the coast of Genoa the other for Sicily.
A gentleman passenger in the ship Adams, arrived yesterday, in 47 days from Cadiz, informs, that the king of Naples was on board the Vanguard, Admiral Nelson's ship, going to Palermo—that the Spaniards were under the greatest apprehensions, of a visit from Cadiz from the British—In fact, that the government had received positive accounts that they intended to bombard that place—There were 17 sail of the line (British) off Cadiz, which were to be reinforced—The Spaniards were fortifying Cadiz, and had increased the number of their gun boats to 130
A French frigate had failed from thence for the West Indies with a valuable cargo—125,000 dollars in specie. Our informant adds, that peace had not been finally ratified between Germany and France.
The gentleman abovementioned has obligingly promised us a file of Spanish papers. We shall lay before our readers any thing of importance that they may contain.

The Good Intent, Humphries, from London to Galway, was taken by a French privateer, retaken by the Atlantic, Dean, from Charleston and sent into Falmouth.
The Hane, Fidge, from Hambro to New York, is wrecked in the Orkneys; cargo expected to be saved.
ALEXANDRIA, March 30. The paragraph published in the last Mirror, immediately after the Alexandria head, and which was extracted from a Baltimore paper without due consideration, relative to the Irish affairs, is certainly incorrect. There is no country of Rofs; and the burning of the 150 Protestants in a barn belonging to Mr. Francis King, took place at an early period of the rebellion—The latest accounts from that country state it to be, in a great degree, tranquil.
BALTIMORE, April 3. The account of general Morgan's decease was taken from the Aurora; and we are happy to say, from the best authority, turns out as many other things in that folio of misrepresentation, to be false, the general having been seen in good health, on Wednesday last.

Patent Ploughs, To be sold for each by Joseph Salter at Aston Richard Wells, Cooper's Ferry—Jonathan Harker, Woodbury—and Jesse Evans, Lumberton. Those who have used them give them the preference to any other kind; as they require less team, break the ground better, are kept in order at less expense and are sold at a cheaper rate—the plan is much simplified and consists of but one piece of cast iron, with the handles and beam of wood; they may be fixed with wrought irons and coulters to be put on with screws and taken off at pleasure. Patent rights for vending with instructions for making them may be had by applying to John Newbold, or the subscriber No. 212 North Front-street.
