IMPORTANT NEWS.
Capt, Foster, 34 days from Lilbon, heard
it reported before he failed, that the French
Brest fleet had got to sea. After failing,
May 27, lat. 37, long, 33, spoke the fch.
A^hcs,Bacon,bound to Philadelphia,—which
had been boarded from a British Cutter, and
the Captain informed that the French fleet
was not only at sea, but had entered the
Srreights, and consisted of 27 veflels.
Capt. Foster brought with him a Iketch
of intelligence prepared by Mr. Bulkley.—
It follows :
" It is reported, and credited here (Lif-'
' bon) that a French or Spanish fleet is at sea.
MefTengers from Lagos fay, French—tfiofe
. from Oporto fay Spanish. The Success fri
gate has been chafed by them, and is gone to
• -Oibraher t0 g ,ve the information to F.arl
St.. Vincents.
" The French have been worsted in Italy,
and obliged to retire towards Milan. Sonic
.letters aiTert .tJieir .head quarters to lie at Lo
di, {which is 10 miles S. E. (if the city of
Milan.) Molt reports agree that the Auflri
lirs have taken Ferrar*, (capital of the Duchy
of that name, in the late Territory of the
Pope.) The fii'ft Coips of Ruffian Troops
are f.'.?d to have arrived before Mantua.
Tiif French, troops hn\*e evacuated Naples
for fVar of being cut off. The affair 3of the
I'rcfCh were never lo bad in Italy, as at the
pn-ffht moment; and it is not likely there
will be a Frenchman in Italy in three months
tiirs from the pp.Tcr.t day.
We obtain the moss circuniftantiaa) intel
ligence c£ the French fleet at sea,
from.a Halifax paper cf June 8, i;i which it
is given on indisputable authority, with an
addition, that furrifhes reasonable grounds
to expert the Britilh fleet has fallen in with
tSieiu. The Britilh Admirals, as was antici
pated,received early information ot' the French
fleet being at f;a—numerous cutters soon
conveyed the agrecble intelligence ; and the
befl mer.fures for meeting them have been a
dopted.

" It is with great pleasure lean fafeljr fay
you will be able to celebrate a great. victory
over the French in a short time. -On the
i.ft of May the Black Joke, Lugger, was dif.
patched by Lord Bridport to Ireland, and on
her way, in long. 8 17. W. Cape Clear bea
ring N. half V/. distant 47 leagues, very for
tunately fell in with us and gave us the plea
sing intelligence ofhis Lordthip being then ]
in chafe of the Republicans to the number of
15 fail of the line and 10 frigates. On the
19th of Aprilj he fell in with them, and un
fortunately a J fog came on ; however at the
time the Lugger left him he was not more
than twelv# leagues from them, bearing N.
N. E. of him fuppofedto be then fleering in
that quarter ; and I a flu re you a very narrow 1
elcape we had ; for when the Lugger fir ft |
discovered us she made no dosbt our convoy I
had then been captured, as the enemy's fleet,
cculd not.be more than fix leagues to wind
er dos us: We were then fleering W. N.
W. and Capt. Church judged Lord Bridport
to be S. W. of us, thought it necessary to
to join him: However we misTed ;
him, but fortunately saved (I verily believe)
the convoy by it. If the Lugger had not j
been seen, we must inevitably have run di- !
reftly into their mouths. We suppose '
they were deflined for Ireland ; but meeting !
two days after with Capt. Durham, in the
Anfon, with the Naiud, who were then recon
noitering, from some intelligence Capt. Dur
ham had received, he was of opinion they
were endeavouring to form a jundlion with
the Spanidi and Toulor? fleet; but I think
there is very little doubt of their going to
Ireland. lafltireyou our expectations are
wonderfully raised, conceiving to a certainty,
Lord Bridport must fa'l in with them, and
as otir fleet, is the mofl powerful for the num
ber that has failed this war, will give a very
fuista&ory account of them. The following

" I am sorry to add (fays Capt. Bain)
that St. Bartholomews is a rendezvous for

Another Fire in Baltimore.
BALTIMORE, June 29.
Another tremendous scene of deftrii&ion
prefentcd itfelf to the harrafled citizens of
this devoted place this morning. About
I o'clock a frame (hop occupied by a Mr.
Guy, dier, in F'fli street, near the Ger
man Lutheran Ckur. h, was, from some
caule or other, not yet afcertainable, dis
covered all on fire, and before the least a
larm was given, was so completely buried
}n flames, that a young fe low by the name
of Morton, who fieft n it, had scarcely
time to make his escape in his shirt j and a
horse in an adjoining stable: which was con
sumed, was bnrnt.to death. No exertions
less than divine could save thofc houses;
and a two (lory bri k honfe in Fish street,
occupied by Mr. John Barry, a three lory
do. occupied as a ftere by the fame gentle
man at the corner'uf Eifh and Gay streets,
an(| a three story do. in Gay llreet, occupi
ed' ■ a store and dwelling by Mr. Melfer
fmith, were soon reached by the element,
but might' in some |meafure have deen pre
served, had not the only engine then under
way been unfortunately choaked with mud,
thrown in with the water taken from a lhal
low part of the falls. Mr- Mefl'erfmith's
house having a high south gable wall, the
morning at that time calm, and the exer
tions of the people very great, the further
progress of the element was arretted ; out
had the wind arisen as high as it d d two
hours afterwards, every house on that fide
of Gay street, to the falls, ir.uft inevitably
have been burnt.
The queftinn here naturally fnggefts it
fe|f—Why, after having been so fortu
nate during a long and inclement winter,
is our city almost nightly ravaged with fire
now ! Neglig nee is, no donbt, the cause
in some inftatices, and perhaps in this ; but
villainous incendiaries, it is to be feared,
add to the calami(y. A remedy against
both, it is the province of cur police to
find out and apply ; and we feel confident,
that if the objetts be attainable, their zeal
and wisdom will be adequate to the ta/k.

MR. *ENNO,
WITH surprise and regret I oiferved in
your paper oflaft evening a piece No', i.ad
dre (Ted to the managers of the AlmsJHoufe
and Houle of Employ, Containing ftridtures
and observations, merely Jhe result, in my
opinion, of some malichjuSsfcribbler, "who is
willing to intrude himfelf into potice by at
tacking public inftrtucions..founded for the
molt benevolent purpofes—ithe operations ot
which he is as ignorant of as his condutt on
this occasion is void of decency. It has ever
been my decided opinion, no notice ought
to be taken of the obferv.ations of anony
mous writers ; but'let tfifcm amuse them
selves with their own folly till they are tired,
or convinced that unnoticed. I
fiiould have on this occasion supported my
general opinion—but as there may be some
good and well meaning people, who, for
want of proper information, may be in some
degree influenced by fuel) trash., I {hall of
fer a few general obfetvation?, not by any
means with a v&w to er.Lghren or l':tisfy
the impertinence of such writers, but merely
to confute the uojuft charges again ft the ma
nagers.
He appears to have discovered an error in
the amount transferred from one account to
that of another, which may be right; but
upon what grounds does he,lug the mayor
and justices into a (hare of the blame. It is
their duty to examine the receipts and ex
penditure* of the institution to fee that the
taxes laid are applied according to law.
What in God's namt have they to do with
the vnanrfafturing account ?—lf this writer
will read the poor laws he will find that he
is mistaken in his opinion 011 this head : and
if he will examine the books at the Alms
House " he will find the scrutinizing eye of
the Mayor, two Aldermen and three Jufti
c.-s" have not fufFered any thing within the
line of their duty to escape their notice.
The writer (I wilh he had given hlmft-lf a
name).it seems has found oiftby the account
No. 3, that the paupers in .the House are
605, of wham 153 are children. Poor in
fants, the inhuman wretch " throws them
all out queflion because they do tot
•work :""and no doubt would throw thero all
into the street for the fxinecaufy : of course
the result is (as he states the caie) that there
remains 226 men and 227 'women : and
that their earnings average a/per ann. each,
a lumping affair indeed: yet it is doubtful
whether his earnings amount to half the
sum. lam sure if his only employment was
writing pieces to the managers, it would
not produce a farthing. Joking aside : let
us examine his proposition. 605 paupers,
of which there are, he fays, 153 children,
which being deduced, leaT-'s 45* persons,
of which, be says, ,two hundred andtwenty
lix are men, and two hundred ai.d twenty
feven are women. Now, Mr. Scribbler,
bluOi—and candidly tell us in your No. 2,
if 226 men 227 Ivomen make only 45;
peri'ons. It is really fhamefull for you to
undertake, and execute lo lamely : you -will
make indeed a poor hand when ycrn come to
the manager's accounts of receipts and ex
penditures, where yon may have ocealion to
add, fubtiafi, multiply and divide tens of
thousands, when your arithmetical knowl
edge does not admit of ccrrfdtncfs in the ad
diti®n of paths. llawever, adiait your 22S
and 257 —Let us try to find employment for
them, ajid employment for th?m too that
(hall not produce one cent per aim. 111 the
firft place, remember that there jvre 1 chil
dren—which require at leall from sixty to
seventy women to nurse and take care of
them : fay » . 60

Y 227
Thus, of 227 women, upon an average, there
are nevermore than twenty-seven employed
in the manufacturing departments, and,but
a small profit can be expefted when tliere is
no advance of price 011 the articles consumed
itl the House. Having thus placed to the
view of every disinterested, boned enquirer,
the situation of the infiitution with regard
to the women's appartment, though, perhaps,
not minutely ccrreft, yet so as to enable a
candid mind to form a correal idea of the
fubjett. I (hall reserve the class of the raen
for another occasion, and offer some gener
"al remarks on this head, the writer " cannot
resolve it to bis own satisfaction x that 45 3
grown pepple, who are all provided at the
public expence with iefard, &c. sliotifd not
earn 4s. each year, when an individual can
earn twice as much in ere day." This is
enough to raifc a laughter in the mid 11-ri
ous and sedate. Certainly 'this wiseacre
miiK lisve lately paid a viiitit to the va
grant's apartment iii tlie common prifoii of
the city, and there beer made to use his fin
gers in picking oakum—He never certainly
vifit'd the Alms House, or if he poffeifes
one grain of common understanding, he ne
ver would have found any difficulty in resolv
ing his own query. As the cafe now (lands,
I mult resolve it for him. He is willing, it
seems (goodnatured foul) to make very large
allowances ; yet as good natured as he is, I
cannot discover that he lias made any —but
all his allowances amount to a want of
knowledge by his own confeffion. Every
law which has been enafted in relation to
the Alms House may be read from firft to
last, and no power will be found lodged in
the hands of the managers to keep for one
moment any person who is able'to maintain
themselves and by the fame laws they are re
-strained to relieving poor ifnd needy, sick
and delfitute persons only—of course a rea
sonable and benevolent mind with a small
(hare of confidence would not Tiefitate to fay
tbat out of the whole number above stated,
of both men and women, there is never to be
found one peifon able to do a week's work
upon an average, in the year. How there
fore, a man in his sober lenses, could for a
moment be at a l'ols to ascertain the cause of
so little work being done by the paupers, is
one of those aftoni thing cafe 3 which the mo
dern ilhminqti alone cai) determine.
I ihati close my obfe.ryat.jons ,for xhe pre
sent, leaving what I have hastily written to
the candor and benevolence of the humane
citizens of Philadelphia, pledging myfclf to
continue such observations and remarks from
time to time as my avocations will permit,
for the information of my fellow citizens :
and I allure you, Mr. Scribbler, I am under
many obligations to you forfeiting this bu
siness on foot. I hope you will not give out,
but continue your kindness, by promiiigat-
ing yaur ignorance.
