% The citizens of Philadelphia are again
arrayed against cath other in a civil war In
consequence of number of muskets having
been found in a Catholic Church, where they
had been deposited by consent Of the Governor
of the State, and the Mayor of the city, TO ena-
BILE the members ofthe Church 20 protect their
property, during the recent disturbances. a
mob, OF some thousands, collected in the vicin
ity oflhe Church, for the purpose, no doubt, Of
laying it in ruins, as they had one or two in
their former outbreak. The Mayor and Shel-
iff, after doing all in their power to disperse
the mob, called to their assistance the military,
who, after they had used all tlleIr endeavours,
peaceabIy, to disperse the mob, (having been
hardly pressed upon. and abused whilst in the
execution Of their duty,) they were ordered to
fire upon the mob, which order was promptly
obeyed, eiier having given the mob sufficient
time to have dispersed, which they persisted
in refusing; the firing, thus commenced. was
returned by The mob. and in the skirmish a
number Of both parties were killed and wound.
ed. The city. by the last accounts, had be-
come somewhat quiet, the Sheriff and the mob
having come upon terms of a peaceble charac-
ter the mob promising to lay down their arms
and disperse, provided that the civil, instead of
the military authority, took posse ession Of the
Church. Upon consultation with tho Govern.
or of the State, the commanding general, and
the Mayor Of The city. the Sheriff complied
with the terms of their truce, and ere this. we
presume the citizens have been enabled to re.
