New Philadelphia. THE proprietors of the high ground in the neighbourhood of this city, known by the name of Spring Garden Manor, bounded on the west by the Schuylkill, on the east by Fourth Street, from Schuylkill, on the north by Francis Street, 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 abattoirs, and stone in abundance to form a permanent bridge of one arch, that cannot be approached by ice or floods. A street 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. 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. 1821.
To be sold at Public Vendue, On Saturday next the 13th inst. at 3 o'clock P. M. on the premises. One hundred and eleven of the highest and best situated Lots in the New Town. Each containing 30 feet front, and about 200 deep. The whole is situated on the west side of Fourth Street from Schuylkill, on the high ground opposite both Hill gardens, agreeably to a plan at the Coffee House, and at the old city Auction Store. To accommodate purchasers, one lot will be put up at a time, and the buyer will have the right to take a money adjoining, as he may think proper, at the same rate. The terms are, one third cash, approved notes at three months for the remainder, when deeds clear of all encumbrances, will be given. Connelly & Co. Auctioneers. April 3.
Sales at Auction. On Saturday the 20th inst. at 2 o'clock P. M. on the premises.  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 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 140 acres, being part of the tract known by the name of Spring Garden.
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, or Ogdens's tavern in Chestnut Street, at Snyders'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 1-30 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. CONNELLY & Co. Auctioneers. April 4.

William, about 5 feet 5 or 6 inches high, a yellowish complexioned fellow, about thirty years of age, formerly the property of doctor William Matthews, he has been very much given to running away, and has been so often described in the public papers within this twelve months that any further description of him seems needless. Jacob, about 6 feet high, and about 32 years of age, of a common Negro complexion, down look, his little finger of his left hand stands straight, occasioned by the cut of a knife. Patt, the wife of said Jacob, about 27 years of age, a small light made woman of a yellowish complexion, with thick lips for an American of her stature, she is a very good needle woman, and spins on either small or great wheel, and is very handy in any common house work. Two children of the said Jacob and Patt, the one a male child about four years old, the other a female child about two years old. The above described Negroes took with them, besides their own wearing apparel, three coats, two of which were linsy cloth of a light grey color, both new; one of the two was a great deal too large for either of the said fellows; the other coat of brown cloth, half worn; three under jackets, one a velvet, another a drab, the other a light colored linsy cloth do, one new pair of Calico skin breeches, lined with linen and bound with leather, one pair of boots remarkably large in the leg, several pairs of stockings and a silver watch, all stolen; their own wearing apparel as follows:—William had on a light-horse regimental coat worked with silver twills, (which coat he had when he was brought home to me the first of February last, a round sailor jacket (blue) thicker breeches, patched with corduroy in the frize, with other necessary clothing. Jacob, two linsy cloth coats, lead colored, one new the other half worn, blue linsy cloth jackets, half worn, two pairs of linsy cloth trousers, of a lead colour, the one new the other half worn, tolerable good shoes and stockings. Patt has every day clothing, and her children wore home-made linen and linsy, her other clothing not so well known. It is uncertain which course they may take, as William is such an experienced coaster. Any person or persons apprehending said negroes or finding them, so that their master may get them again, shall be entitled to the above reward, or in proportion for either of them, that is to say, 40 dollars for each of the fellows, and twenty dollars for the wench and children, and if brought home, all reasonable charges paid by BENSON GEARS.

The Gazette. PHILADELPHIA. TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 9.
MR. FENNO, THE Captain and passengers of the Ship Thomas Wilson, having once more obtruded themselves on the patience of the public, and falsely presumed to question the veracity of the statement (which they say, was ingeniously inferred after the attribution before the mayor) and which declared that Dr. Hall, had told me that capt Jones, was sick of the yellow fever. I request that you will publish the subjoined affidavit, as a conclusive answer, to this second attempt at impoition, on the part of Messrs. Jones, Williams, Brown, Baily, and Gravelle. It will be observed, that Dr. Hall, conversed with me separated from Mr. Milnor and Mr. Hopkins—and that his information was given to us, after he had visited the ship—Any difference, therefore, in his report to the Health Office, or subsequent denial of his information to us, may be reconciled as he thinks proper, with the annexed attestations, which have been made with a view to give complete satisfaction, to the citizens of Philadelphia, on a subject in which they are deeply interested—not as a necessary refutation, either of Dr. Hall's denial—or of the assertions of Captain Jones, and his passengers who appear to distinguish very nicely between a declaration on oath and on honor.—An honest man believes them to be of equal obligation. Of the assertions which have been made by these men, and of their respectability, a correct opinion may be formed, by considering that in all of them, which related to myself, they have been pointedly contradicted on the oaths or affirmations of several honest men. And yet such are the means, which minister to defamation, that the most contemptible may find circulation of their calumny, though composed of the grossest falsehood, and that falsehood evidently subversive of the precautions taken to guard the public health. WILLIAM JACKSON. The subscriber declares that after Doctor Hall had visited the ship Thomas Wilson on the morning of the 23d of March, he asked the Doctor what ailed the captain, and was answered that he had the Yellow Fever. W. JACKSON. Sworn and subscribed before me, April 6, 1799. ROBERT WH
