Sales at Auction. On Saturday the 20th April, 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 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 40 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.

The Gazette. PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 15.
MR. FENNO, It is with reluctance that I find myself compelled to appear again before the public —but the illiberality of Major Jackson's publications of the 10th inst. obliges me to say a few words—not that I intend to pur- sue him through all his "positive and nega- tive assertions" or his "algebraical" non- sense. It would be too absurd, and trifling with the patience of the citizens. Upon the first perusal of his piece, I did intend an- swering him very fully, but upon a more careful examination, I find all the testimony he has brought forward does not prove that I ever told him captain Jones had the Yellow Fever when I visited the ship Thomas Wilson, —so that we are upon the same ground on which we started. In order to show my real opinion of the situation of the said ship, her crew and passengers, I herewith subjoin the report made immediately to the Board of Health, together with the certificates of some gentlemen, who questioned me very pointedly, in order to know whether there were any persons affected with the Yellow Fever on board the ship.
We have this day visited and examined the ship Thomas Wilson, captain Thomas A. Jones, last from Kingston, Jamaica, and find all the people on board in perfect health, except the captain, who says he had been sick in the West Indies in October last, from which he recovered, and was again taken sick soon after he left Jamaica on his pas- sage home. He is not much indisposed at present, and is attending his duty on deck, but has his throat bound up in consequence of the operation of Mercury, which he has been using—his complaint does not appear to be what is commonly called the Yellow Fever, or any disease of a malignant conta- gious nature.
Four of his people died at Petit Guave and Kingston, the last of whom about the middle of October last, all of whose bedding and clothing was thrown overboard.
The ship, though rather dirty, does not exhibit any such stench as would be likely in our opinion to produce a contagious disease. Upon the whole, notwithstanding, we could not pronounce her to be a sickly vessel, or that there was reason to apprehend any contagion existing on board, yet from pru- dential motives and to prevent alarm, we thought it proper to direct her to be moved down opposite to the marine hospital, and there to await the directions of the Board of Health.
JAMES HALL, Resident Physician of the port. SAMUEL DUFFIELD, Consulting Physician. WILLIAM ALLEN, Health Officer of the port. Philadelphia, March 23, 1799. 2 Copy. To the Board of Managers.
I do hereby certify, that two or three days after the arrival of the ship Thomas Wilson, Thomas Jones, captain, in the Delaware op- posite the city, I enquired of Doctor James Hall, whether it was true (as was then re- ported by many persons) that there were several persons ill of the Yellow Fever on board of the said ship; and that Dr. Hall assured me, there were not, and that there had been no such sickness in the vessel since the month of October last. I believe (but of this I cannot be certain) that Doctor Hall said the captain of the vessel was still unwell of a fever which he had contracted in the West Indies. I am persuaded, however, that the Doctor asserted, in the most decided and unequivocal manner, that there was no ma- lignant fever, of any kind, on board the ves- sel, and he even requested me to make use of his name in saying so. BENJAMIN SMITH BARTON. Philadelphia, April 12th, 1799.
Philadelphia, April 11th, 1799. I do certify and declare that sitting one evening in the latter end of March last, with several gentlemen in the Land Office, Dr. James Hall entered and after the usual sala- utations, he was asked several questions rela- tive to a vessel which had arrived on that or the proceeding day, from Jamaica. I do not at present, particularly recollect those ques- tions, except the following. "Dr. is it true that the crew of that vessel are afflicted with the Yellow Fever?" to which he answered —no—but he was informed that four men had died on the outward passage, two at Petit Guave and two Kingston—that the capt. had been sick of a fever whilst abroad, where he had used a considerable quantity of Mercury and had been very in cautious while under the operation, of medicine for he had caught cold and had a slight fever, but was able to walk about. The Dr. ad- ded that as the captain was sick and the vessel very dirty, he had ordered the captain to proceed with her down the river, where she should perform Quarantine. PETER BAYNTON. April 11th, 1799.
Having always felt pain and reluctance at the introduction of my name into a pub- lic print, yet ever willing when called upon to make as accurate a statement of any my verification that might have passed in my pre- sence as my recollection will admit, I do therefore certify, at the request of Doctor James Hall, as follows, viz. That on the day the ship Thomas Wilson was ordered down the river, I was sitting in company with several gentlemen in the house of John Hall, Esq. secretary of the Land office, at which time Doctor Hall entered the room—the Doctor having been asked several questions respecting the said ship, re- plied that from the information he had re- ceived, four men had died on board the said ship, that the captain had been sick of a
West India or Jamaica fever, I cannot re- collect which, and having incautiously used my word had caught a lad cold and was now sick of a slight fever, that the captain had been on shore with some of the crew or passengers—that the vessel is extremely dirty and having come from a sickly Island, he (the Doctor) thought it prudent and proper, and had ordered the captain with the others on board, and had also or- dered the vessel to proceed down the river, and that he had just left the wharf, having first seen the ship turn the point on her way down.
FRANCIS JOHNSTON. After a perusal of the above, I think no person can suppose that I would seriously and deliberately assert as a fact that the cap- tain had the yellow fever. However impro- per it might be to pass a joke on so serious a subject—I own that what I said to Mr. Keppele was only in jest—and he left me so abruptly that I could not have an explana- tion with him. I informed major Jackson personally before I came forward in the pa- pers, of what passed between Mr. Keppele and myself in Chestnut street, and likewise added, that my intentions were to alarm him a little in order to spur him on in getting the health law passed; knowing him to be an active member of the Legislature, as I conceived it highly improper for vessels to come up to the city until they were exam- ined, on board of whom any persons had been sick or had died—but unfortunately there was no law to prevent it—which was contemplated in the law then before the House.
JAMES HALL. April 12. That Algebra, or any other science, should appear nonsense to Doctor Hall, may readily be believed—that a rule of DEMONSTRATION (after what has passed) should seem pecu- liarly so to him can excite no surprise. He has my pity—could any thing, he has said or written, have injured me, for one mo- ment, in the estimation of a single person, I would add my forgiveness. W. JACKSON. April 15.
PHILADELPHIA, March 6, 1799. GENTLEMEN, A NUMBER of your fel- low-citizens, now in Philadelphia, from dif- ferent parts of the State, impressed with the importance of the approaching Election of Governor, have assembled at several times in order to ascertain what person, qualified for that office, would be generally acceptable.
From a perusal that the general senti- ments of the friends of the constitution, laws and government of our country had been, for some time, directed to JAMES ROSS, of Pittsburgh, a committee of Gentlemen from twenty one counties were appointed to wait on him, and had the pleasure to report to the meeting his consent to serve, if elect- ed.
Committees have, therefore, been nominat- ed in every county for the purpose of pro- moting the election of a Man whose talents, integrity and public conduct must endear him to his country, and afford the surest prospect of a just, impartial and decisive administra- tion.
Persuaded that these measures will meet with your concurrence you are requested, to- gether with such gentlemen as you may ac- quaint with yourselves, as the committee of the county of _____ to use your ut- most exertions, with the friends of order and good government, to support, by their votes and influence, the Man of their choice. For this purpose it is recommended, that commit- tees be formed, without delay, in each township or district in your county, with whom you will correspond, and that you like- wise correspond with the committee for the city of Philadelphia, and with such of the committees for the counties as you may judge expedient. We enclose you lists of the mem- bers composing them; and take the liberty of suggesting, that care will be necessary, in writing or printing your tickets, to mention Mr. Ross's place of residence; and, in di- recting the letters, you may think it necessa- ry to write to any of the other committees, to the person first named on such committees.
On an occasion so interesting, and at a period so critical, we think it our duty to re- mind you, that the happiness and tranquility of the state, and we might perhaps add, of the Union, eminently depend on the se- lection of a suitable person to fill the Chief Ex- ecutive Office of Pennsylvania.—That who- ever, as Citizens, is solemnly duty to perform in making the choice, and an obligation, no less, to support it when made.—That supine- ness and indifference are as much to be depre- cated as prejudice and error, and that to re- lax in any possible exertion in your county may frustrate the labors of every other part of the state.
