1t soon found to hevo broken out in the Mill
nary store o: Misses Pulam, the East side of
Fayetteville Street; and though tho citizens with
their Fire Engine, and the Members of the As
sembly and Strangers in the City, soon assembled,
and used every exerton in their power to put Il
stop to the raging element, it was apparent that
the only way to stop the progress of the flames,
would be to blow up those houses to the North and
South of the Fire, which if not removed, would
be embraced in the destruction. Several
buildings accordingly blown up as
powder could be procured for tho purpose, and to
this and the active excrtions of the citizens occu-
pying the western side of the street in keeping the
roofs and sides of their houses covered with wet
blankets it is owing, that the whole of Fayette-
vile street, and perhaps, the ontire City, not
destroyed.
Great excrtions were made to prevent the ex-
tention of The Fire beyond the Drug Store of
Messrs. Williams & Haywood. For this purpose,
the a1arkct pulled down, but all was in vain;
the Post Office, and several Houses Hargett-
street, which were all destroyed. But the Stores
next TO tive Post Office occupied by Mcssrs. Turner
" Hughes, booksellers, being blown up, well
as some other outbuidngs Mr.. John Stuart's
lot, the fire was there arrested and his dwelling
house saved.
The occupants Of the Stores nearest to the one
in which the Fire commenced, had no time to save
their goods, and therefore lost nearly the whole of
their Stock i'll Trade, those more remotely situated
were fortunate enough to save the principal part of
their Stock!
1t is impossible, in the confusion incident to
such II calamity; to ascertain with absolute certain
ty the precise loss which each individual has sus-
tanned
Wo understand that none of tho property was
