THE HECOMMANDER.IN n. CHEF ORDERS
l. That Ma jor General Patterson detail as large
force as may be necessary to clear and occupy
all the streets, lanes, alleys, and places menaced
with attack, and take immediate charge of all
such places, and protect them from intrusion and
assault.
2. That Major General Patterson so station and
distribute his forces to command all tho streets
and ether assallable points, to disperso or arrest
as may be necessary, all those persons who may
assemble in considerable bodies for the purpose
of exciting to riot, ,umult and disorder.
3. That Major General Patterson adopt the
most prompt and efficient steps to dsperse rio,ous
assemblages as soon as they begin to form, and
before they have time and opportunity to mature
and carry into execution their mischievous inten-
lions.
4. That Major Gen. Patterson treat all persons
found with arms in their hands, or in possession Of
cannon, or aiding and ubet.ng those who have,
not reported themselves for service to the Com.
mander.in-Chief, open enemies of the State,
seeking to destroy the property and lives of the
citizens, and to trampe on its laws.
5. The Volunteers from other Divisions, as thew
reach this place, will report themselves to Major
General Patterson, and act in obedience to his
orders.
In obedience to spirit Of considsrate forbear-
ance the military force has been withd rawn from
st. Phillips Church and relief stationed there
OF the civil posse, at the instance, and under the
direction of the Magistrates, of the District. This
measure, it is presumed, will furnish an appeal to
theCoason and patriotism of the citizens. which
will not be in van but, should it unfortunately
provo to be unavaiIing. the most decisive steps
will be taken. Not only the military force now
here, but that ordered to be in readiness, will be
called to this place, and so employed that every
person found with arms in their hands, or in their
houses, will be pursued to the utmost and brought
to punishment for their temerity and crimes.
Thus far the conduct of the citizen soIdery has
been distinguished by equal bravery and forbear-
ance, and the Commander in Chief has no doubt,
in any future emergency. they will continue to be
actuated by the same determination to do their
duty. .....- .-....-...... P ...

frain from 5oining or countenancing any riotous
assemblages in any part of the city and county
Of Philadelphia, either as actors or spectators.
Prompt and efficient measures will be adopted to
disperse them and it is difficult. in 80 doing, to
distinguish between the guilty and the innocent
Riot and bloolshed must be Terminated at once:
the duty of effecng this rosts with the Executive.
and those who act under his orders, and whatever
the hazard, this duty shall be faithfully and fear
lessly performed. By order of .'.

THURSDAY.
Tranquility Restored. Yesterday was perfect
ly quiet in the District of Southwark. During
the afternoon the civil force that had been quad.
ing the chuch, gave up the keys of the building in
the congregation, but previously appointed wat:h-
men to guard it both day and night, for speci.
fled time. We trust that the difficulty in that
quarter is at an end. 1t was reported that Capt.
Ringgod with his artillery corps wersto be sta
