By the Mayor, Aldermen and Citizens of Philadelphia.
AN ORDINANCE
To prevent the erection of WOODEN BUILDINGS within certain limits in the City of Philadelphia.
WHEREAS the great number of wooden buildings in the city of Philadelphia, render the persons and estates of the inhabitants insecure, and greatly exposed to accidents from fire, and unless effectual measures are taken to prevent their being erected in future within the most populous parts thereof, there is reason to apprehend that dangerous and fatal consequences may ensue, therefrom. And whereas the Legislature of the state of Pennsylvania, by an act passed the eighteenth day of April, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and ninety-five, have authorized and empowered the Mayor, Aldermen and citizens of Philadelphia, in common council assembled, to pass ordinances, to prevent the erection of such buildings within certain parts of the said city therein particularly mentioned.
Sect. 1. It is therefore hereby ordained and enacted by the Mayor and Aldermen, and citizens of Philadelphia, in common council assembled, and by the authority of the same, That from and after the passing of this ordinance, no wooden mansions-houses, shops, ware-houses, store, carriage-houses, or stable, shall be erected or built within that part of the city of Philadelphia which is comprised within the limits hereinafter mentioned; that is to say, From the river Delaware to the east side of Sixth Street, on the north side of the city included between the south side of Pine Street, and the north side of Sassafras or Race Street, and between the south side of Walnut Street, the north side of South or Cedar Street, and from the river Delaware to the east side of Tenth Street, in that part of the city included between the south side of Race or Sassafras Street, and the north side of Walnut Street.
Sect. 2. And it is further ordained and enacted by the authority aforesaid, that if after the passing of this ordinance, any person or persons shall erect and build, or cause to be erected and built, any wooden mansions-houses, shops, ware-houses, store, carriage-houses, or stable, upon any lot or piece of ground within those parts of the city, herein above specified, and shall be duly convicted thereof, upon indictment found against him, her or them in the Mayor's court of the city of Philadelphia, every such person or persons so offending and convicted, shall forfeit and be sentenced and adjudged to pay a fine of five hundred dollars.
Sect. 3. And it is further ordained and enacted by the authority aforesaid, that if any person or persons so convicted, shall not after such conviction pull down and remove or cause to be pulled down and removed, such wooden mansions-houses or other wooden building as is before described, he, she or they shall forfeit and be adjudged to pay a fine of one hundred dollars for every three months after such conviction during which the same shall remain and continue erected and built, being first duly convicted of such neglect or omission upon indictment found against him, her or them in the Mayor's court for the city of Philadelphia, and every such wooden building is hereby declared to be a public and common nuisance.
Sect. 4. And it is further ordained and enacted by the authority aforesaid, that each and every person and persons who shall be employed in the building or erecting any such wooden mansions-houses or other buildings as is before described, being duly convicted thereof in the manner above mentioned, shall forfeit and be sentenced and adjudged by the mayor's court, to pay a fine at the discretion of the said court, not exceeding one hundred dollars.
Sect. 5. And it is further ordained and enacted by the authority aforesaid, that it shall be the duty of the city commissioners, the high constables and the constables of the respective wards of the city of Philadelphia, and they are hereby strictly enjoined and required to give immediate information to the Mayor or one of the Aldermen of the said city, of all offences which shall be committed in violation of this ordinance, in order that measures may be taken for the prosecution of offenders according to the direction hereof.
By order of the Board,  MATHEW CLARKSON, Mayor. Enacted into an Ordinance, at Philadelphia, the 6th day of June, anno Domini, one thousand seven hundred and ninety-five.

Extract of a letter from Gibraltar, dated the 14th of April
"On the 29th of March, at 2 o'clock, two strange armed vessels were discovered from this place, and about an hour, two lofty ships appeared to the southward, two frigates and two cutter brigs immediately went out in pursuit, and about 7 we heard a very sharp cannonading, which continued till 8, but as neither of the ships have returned, we are ignorant of the event. On the 4th instant a French squadron of seven men of war and two frigates came out of Cadiz, where they passed the winter. The same day, Admiral Man failed with 6 seventy-fours and 3 frigates, having his flag on board the Windsor Castle, of 88 guns. Last Sunday, about 3 P. M. we heard a heavy firing, which continued till 2 A. M. but the consequence is not known here. The Moorish cruisers have brought in several Danish, Swedish and Portuguese prizes, and we are apprehensive of the Algerines being again at war with us."
Capt. Sutfon, of the schooner Dispatch, informs that a sloop from Surinam brought certain accounts of the arrival there of a Dutch fleet of six men of war; and that upon the arrival of two more, which had been separated from the rest, an attack was to be made on the English at Demarara, who had there a sixty four and two frigates, and were repairing the works when Capt. Sutfon failed, in consequence of the above mentioned intelligence.
By the ship Alliance arrived at New-York, from Liverpool, a letter of April 25th mentions that the Lovina failed for Philadelphia the 23rd and that Capt. Crawford died on the 22nd.

By the brig Rose, Capt. Meaney, arrived at this port on Wednesday last from the Isle of France, we have the Gazette of that place of the 2d Germinal (March 22d) from which is translated the following very singular account of a naval action between the Triton, one of the English East-India Company's ships, carrying twenty twelve pounders on her deck, six four pounders on her forecastle, and 136 men, and a French schooner, with a few small cannon and 17 men. A. D. A.
Capt. Surcouf, commander of the corsair l'Emilie, perceiving that his vessel had lost her superiority of sailing, resolved to quit her and to arm the schooner le Kartier, which he had taken on the arms of Bengal, being a remarkable good sailer. He fitted out this schooner with some small cannon, and put on board 22 of his crew: leaving l'Emilie, on the 23rd of January, under the command of Citizen Croizet, to make his way for the Isle of France.
On the 28th in the evening he perceived a ship for which he immediately made sail and boarded her during the night; this was the Diana, Captain Thompson, coming from Bengal. The next day, the 22th, in the morning, le Kartier perceived to the windward another ship, to which he gave chase, and came up with her about 8 o'clock. This ship seeing a schooner approach her, took it to be a pilot boat, from the Ganges, lay to, hoisted her colours and fired a gun. Surcouf got to the windward, and notwithstanding the superiority of the enemy which he had before him, after having been assured of the good disposition and courage of his crew, he resolved to take possession of her or perish in the attempt. Arrived within pistol shot he fired three rounds with his cannon, and caused all his musketry to fire upon the vessel, and without waiting longer, boarded the Englishman with 17 of his crew, and after a combat of an hour and a half on board the vessel, Capt. Surcouf became master of his prize.
This vessel is the Triton, belonging to the English East India Company; she had touched at Madras, where she left a part of her cargo, and was on her route for Bengal.
The French had one man killed and another wounded, but the latter is out of danger. The Triton had 8 men killed, among whom was Capt. Burneyhat, the commandant of the artillery, and many wounded. All the prisoners were put, for the moment, on board the Kartier, under the guard of three men only, until the

We have taken and destroyed, since the commencement of the war, 153 ships of the French navy, of which 27 are line of battle ships, not under 74 guns, and we added, of the captures, 74 to our own navy. The enemy have taken and destroyed of our naval force 34, of which 5 are line of battle ships. This account extends to the 31st of March last.
Mr. Pitt will this day bring forward his second budget in the House of Commons, and announce the ways and means for making good the same. He will at the same time submit some plan to the house for relieving the present difficulties of the merchants of London, in consequence of the scarcity of money.

April 13. The groups of the people gathering together in the streets every day become more numerous. They every evening gather together on the terrace of the Feuillans, &c. The directory are not unacquainted with the speeches which are there made, nor are the chiefs of these assemblies unknown to them. These people call themselves the "enlightened of the people," and declare their will to destroy the present constitution. "Let us one and all (say they in one of the journals) unite under the holy ark of the constitution of 1793. The people, the soldiers, and all friends of Liberty must only have one end in view, and then will the designs of the aristocrats and royalists be destroyed." Many other such writings as these are published, and appearances are not a little alarming.
WARSAW, April 2. Letters from the province of Podolia, assert, that about 1500 Polish emigrants are assembled in Moldavia: among them are the celebrated brigadiers Wolnyjko, Denisko, Liberadzkey, and several other leaders, who have distinguished themselves in the late revolution. Lately they made an incursion into Podolia, dispersed a patrol of Russian Cossacks, and after having pushed as far as Swaniez, they posted up manifestos wherein they formally protest against the partition of Poland, and declare that with the help of God, they expect to restore their country to its former independence, and re-establish the constitution of the 3d May, as the only one adapted to Poland and universally cherished by the people. After having done this they retreated again to their former stations.
April 4. The fear of many people here, that new commotions would break out in Poland, is now unhappily but too well grounded:—The commotions have already broke out. A new confederation has made its appearance in the Ukraine. Eight thousand armed Poles, all veterans of the Polish army, who, at the time the Russians took possession of Podolia, retreated to the Turkish territory, have lately appeared in the neighbourhood of Kamioniec, Podolsky, and at Swaniez, in the territory held by the Russians, they issued a manifesto to the Polish nation and afterwards retreated; they are led on by Denisko, Koligijko and Liberadzkey. The manifesto, which shews that the confederates depend on the support of the Ottoman Porte, is in the hands of many persons in this city.
VIENNA, April 6. The Imperial Internuncio at Constantinople has informed our court, that a rupture between Russia and the Porte is very probable; that the latter strain every nerve in order to put her naval and land forces on a respectable footing, but that the Turkish ministry avoid every thing that could give offence to Austria.
April 9. By the latest letters from Constantinople, it appears that the preparations of the Turks by land and sea go on with redoubled vigour. That the force of the Russian fleet in the black sea was so considerable as to occasion uneasiness, &c. That Mardinoff and Ribas, the commanders of the fleet had set out for Petersburg, where they were to receive fresh instructions. It is also said, a Russian army of 30,000 men is assembling on the Dnieper, not far from Bender. These are indeed circumstances which must give uneasiness to the Porte, and commands its serious attention.
We hear from Gradilka, that the Pacha of Bosnia has received orders, to keep himself ready to march with his troops after the Bairam feast which has just commenced.
DUBLIN, April 22. Advices from London, by the last mail, bring intelligence of a more agreeable tenor than we had from thence lately respecting the pecuniary distress that prevailed there. It appears that since the stock engagements were made good, and the loan ascertained, without any mention that part was for the Emperor, public confidence has much revived, so that good paper is easily convertible into specie.
PARIS, April 11. The Minister of the Interior gave yesterday a grand fete to General Pichegru, at which the Ambassadors, Ministers, Presidents of the two councils and several French Generals were present.—The Minister of the Interior gave the following toast: "To that General whom the Republic can present with equal pride to her friends and her enemies."
They write from Switzerland, that three Protestant cantons have acknowledged the French Republic.
The best understanding exists between the French Republic and Spain. Some difficulties had arisen between the two nations on the subject of restoring French property in Spain, sequestrated at the commencement of the war.

NEW-YORK, June 9.
LATER STILL.
By the Alliance, Capt. Wood, arrived yesterday from Liverpool in 40 days, we have papers three days later than we gave in yesterday's Advertiser:—the most material of which are, the capture of Sir Sydney Smyth, of the British frigate Diamond, and the taking of several French vessels of war by the English:—Those articles follow:—
LONDON, April 22.
A letter was received at the Admiralty on Wednesday night from the first Lieut. of the Diamond frigate, off the coast of France, containing an account of the capture of that gallant officer, Sir Sidney Smith.
Sir Sydney, in the night of Monday last, went in his boat to cut out a French lugger in the port of Havre. This he accomplished, after some resistance, by which one Frenchman was killed; but deterred from immediately sailing by the rapidity of the current, he cast anchor. During the night however, the ship drove from her anchor—the cable, it is said having been cut by one of the prisoners—and was carried by the current above the town.
In this situation he was attacked on the morning of Tuesday, by all the gun boats and other vessels which the enemy could muster; and after a gallant and even desperate resistance, against a force so infinitely superior to his own, he found himself at length obliged to surrender. We are happy however to find that he received no injury in the conflict.
There were 5 officers with him—in the number: were Messrs. W. Moore, R. Kenyon, and R. Barrow.
The following particulars are extracted from a private letter received from an officer on board the Diamond frigate, which Sir S. Smyth commanded, and which is arrived off Brighton.
"On the 18th inst. in the afternoon, Sir Sidney Smyth ordered 5 boats belonging to the ships of his squadron to be manned, and he himself embarked on board one of them, to reconnoitre the harbor of Havre de Grace, and to obtain certain information which he wanted to procure. In this service, after a smart engagement, he captured a French lugger of 8 guns, on board of which Sir Sidney Smyth went. It falling a calm soon after, and a flood tide, Sir Sidney could not get out to sea; and according dropped anchor in Havre Roads. After dark, one of the French prisoners took an opportunity to cut the cable of the lugger, on which she drifted up the harbour into the mouth of the river Seine. On the morning of the 19th, the lugger was attacked by a French brig of 14 guns, and 5 gun boats, which the governor had sent out. An engagement of 40 minutes ensued, when Sir Sidney Smyth was obliged to strike to this superior force. Himself, his officers and men, to the number of 32, were sent on shore at Havre."
"The officers on board the Diamond frigate, on hearing of the capture of Sir Sidney Smyth, sent a flag of truce into Havre, to enquire whether he was wounded; hoping he would be treated kindly. To this the governor of Havre, returned for answer, that Sir Sidney was well, and would be treated with humanity."
"We are happy to add, that only four British seamen were killed, and one officer and six seamen slightly wounded."
"The seamen were immediately thrown into prison on their landing; and Sir Sidney underwent a long examination before the French Commandant after which he was ordered to be conveyed under a strong escort to Paris."
April 23.
By the arrival of the Argo, of 44 guns, one of Sir Edward Pellew's squadron, at Plymouth, intelligence is brought of the capture of La Unie Frenche frigate, of 40 guns, by the Concorde of 36 guns, Capt. Hunt, likewise one of Sir Edward's squadron, after a severe action in which the enemy had 36 men killed and wounded—but happily from superior skill and management, not a single man was either killed or wounded on board the British ship.
Extract of a letter from on board the La Pomone, at sea, April 7.
"I take the liberty of again acquainting you with our success, having captured close off Cament Bay, the entrance of Brest, with the boats of the squadron,
"One brig, Le Marie of St. Maloes, 150 tons wheat; do. name unknown, 100 do. flour; do. do. 120 do. wheat; one sloop do. 70 do. wheat, which are sent into Falmoth."
"Also one brig, name unknown, 90 tons, being leaky, scuttled and sunk her, loaded with wine and wood."
"The enemy must feel the want of the corn and flour very much, as we are given to understand the allowance for the navy and army has been considerably reduced, in consequence of the scarcity of grain at present in France."
"We detained also a ship shewing American colours, from the Mauritius, loaded with cotton, coffee, sugar, indigo and pepper, and several French passengers on board, and was steering for L'Orient. Gave us a long chase and used every method by trimming ship to get away. We trust she will be condemned, as the property must be French. She failed from France (L'Orient) last year with a cargo of wine and brandy, for the Municipality at the
Mauritius, and was returning with produce at that island."
"The aforementioned vessels make 16 in number taken from the French Republic by this squadron, within one month; a proof of vigilance and good fortune."
"Off Ushant, April 16, 1796. "Since writing the above, we have captured a brig loaded with salt; and le Robulle National Corvette ship, of 22 guns, and 145 men, after a long chase, the ship sailing remarkably well."

PITTSBURGH, June 4.
The week before the last a murder was committed near Morgan Town, in Virginia. The following particulars have been related to us, which, we believe, may be relied on as authentic.
A man, by the name of Donaldson, of a bad character, having had a difference with his wife, a separation took place—they had several children, one of them a boy of 14 years of age, who continued with his father, but was charged by him as having advised his mother to leave the house. His father threatened to take revenge, and accordingly got a rope, secreted it under the head of the bed, and during the night fastened it round the neck of his son; while doing this, the boy awoke, caught hold of the rope so as to prevent his being strangled, and jumped out of the bed—his father followed him, and permitted him to stir the fire, after which the boy sat down on the floor, and supplicated forgiveness, but to no effect—The father concluding it was near day-light, and that he had no time to lose, put his feet between the boy's shoulders, and strangled him. He was then at a loss where to conceal the boy, but having a large pile of stone near the house, he removed some of them and crammed the body therein. In a few days the boy was missed by the neighbours, a suspicion rested on his father, who was apprehended, a search made and the body found—he then acknowledged his guilt, and related these particulars to a number of people, among whom was our informant.

From the Aurora. A studied system of attack upon the principal authors of our glorious revolution is observable of late in the papers, and pamphlets devoted to, and paid by the faction. Those characters are only the outworkings of the poll, and we shall soon see the principles of the revolution also, and of republicanism consequently decried. Britain is determined to strain every nerve to bend us once more under the yoke, and their salaried paragraphists do but their duty in fabricating and circulating falsehoods and exaggerations that may serve the purpose of their employers. They overlook their mark, however, when, in the outset, they vent their impotent efforts on the character of BENJAMIN FRANKLIN.—Neither the shafts of malevolence or the corroding tooth of time will be able to harm his immortal reputation. His venerable name dear to the patriots of every clime, is not less so to the sons of science; and the puny efforts of the ignorant A. L. in Fenno's paper, will not prevent his holding a distinguished rank on the rolls of fame, as one of the brightest ornaments of science, and of the boldest and purest patriots. Eripuit celo fulmen, sceptrumque tyrannis.
FOR THE GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES.
MR. FENNO,
It certainly was my intention to deliver a very serious truth, when I suggested that a progenitor of the Editor of the Aurora and his pupil Tom Paine, became enemies to the Bible because they found that the Bible was an enemy to them: And this by the way, will account for nine tenths of the hostility which the scriptures have ever met with. But I really did not expect that B. would have taken the matter so much in dudgeon as he seems to have done. Were it not that an allowance is always to be made for what a man says in haste and anger, one would be inclined in looking over his paragraph of this morning, to ask him some such questions as these. If I say a man was an infamous old lecher, is my position refuted by saying that he was a man of science? If I affirm that that he was an infidel, am I confuted by showing that he was a patriot? If I intimate that a man is a drunkard, is it a confutation to state that he was a friend to the American Revolution? Is it not a pretty compliment to our country to insinuate that the very "principles of the revolution and of republicanism" are going to be "decried" because the vices of any man whatever are exposed? does not he who insinuates this demonstrate himself to be a weak defender of a bad cause? Such questions might be asked; but it is wrong as I have said to scrutinize with rigour what a man utters when he is vexed—I therefore entirely wave these inquiries, as well as all attention to the petty vanity which has swelled a period or two in the paragraph. I consider and closed the whole with a fulminating sentence of latin; and only admonish my countrymen, not to be seduced by the names or characters of any men, however highly or justly famed for patriotism, to relinquish the christian religion; it is the anchor of the soul: "For with the talents of an angel a man may be a fool."

THE proprietors have great satisfaction in saying, that it has been examined with much attention by many hundreds of gentlemen, and that not in a single instance has the warmest approbation been withheld from it. They already boast of as respectable a list of subscribers as ever supported any work, in so short a time as this has been before the public. Such friends of elegant printing as mean to become subscribers, are requested to do it without delay, as the number determined upon to be printed is limited, and there is every prospect of the whole being shortly disposed of.
Subscriptions will be received by the proprietors, No. 34 Carter's alley, and at the Book-Stores in general. Philadelphia, June 7. 2w2
GEORGE HUNTER,
THE MIST, No. 114 South Second Street, HAS for these two years past introduced a new species of PERUVIAN BARK, called YELLOW BARK, which after repeated trials by the principal Physicians of this city, is now preferred in all cases of importance that require it, to the best Red and Pale Bark. It is a powerful Astringent Bitter, fits well on the Stomach, is certain in its effects, and requires only half the usual quantity for a dose.
Many of the citizens of Philadelphia are now acquainted with its virtues, the knowledge of which ought to be extended over the Union. It has a large supply of the Yellow Bark, and a general assortment of Drugs, Colours, Glass, Dye Stuffs, &c. LIKEWISE, Salt Petre, Salap, and Camphor, By the Quantity. May 19. 22w7t

A very Valuable Estate,
CALLED TWITTENHAM , situate in the township of Upper Darby, and county of Delaware, 7 1-2 miles from Philadelphia, and half a mile from the new Western road: containing 230 acres of excellent land, 45 of which are good watered meadow, 90 of prime woodland, and the rest arable of the first quality. There are on the premises a good two story brick house, with 4 rooms on a floor, and cellars under the whole, with a pump-well of excellent water in front; a large frame barn, stables, and other convenient buildings; a smoke-house and stone spring-house; two good apple orchards, and one of peaches. The fields are all in clover, except those immediately under tillage, and are so laid out as to have the advantage of water in each of them, which renders it peculiarly convenient for grazing.
The situation is pleasant and healthy, and from the high cultivation of the land, the good neighbourhood, and the vicinity to the city, it is very suitable for a gentleman's country seat.

And approved notes, securing payment in either money or prizes, in ten days after drawing, will be received for any number not less than 30 tickets.
This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the private buildings to be erected in the City of Washington. Two beautiful designs are already selected for the entire fronts on two of the public squares; from these drawings it is proposed to erect two centre and four corner buildings, as soon as possible after this lottery is sold, and to convey them, when complete, to the fortunate adventurers, in the manner described in the scheme for the Hotel Lottery. A net deduction of five per cent. will be made to defray the necessary expenses of printing, &c. and the surplus will be made a part of the fund intended for the National University, to be erected within the city of Washington.
The Drawing will commence as soon as the tickets are sold off.—The money prizes will be payable in thirty days after it is finished; and any prizes for which fortunate numbers are not produced within twelve months after the drawing is closed, are to be considered as given towards the fund for the University; it being determined to settle the whole business in a year from the closing of the drawing, and to take up the bonds given as security.
The real securities given for the payment of the Prizes, are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the amount of the lottery.
The twenty-four gentlemen who by appointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a second time on behalf of the public; a sufficient number of these having kindly accepted; it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal objects may continue to favor the design.
By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Europe, where the tickets have been sent for sale, the public are assured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and caution unavoidably necessary to insure a safe disposal of the tickets, has rendered the short suspension indispensable. SAMUEL ALODGET.
Tickets may be had at the Bank of Columbia; of James West & Co. Baltimore; of Peter Gilman, Boston; of John Hopkins, Richmond; and of Richard Wells, Cooper's Ferry.
