Thursday, A!auch 18. 1819.
Dest ructi ve Fi re.
In a brief postcript to our last, we
made mention of the calamity which
has l>efallen the eastern suburb of
our town. We promised to give
more particulars in to-day's Intelli
gencer; but there appears so much
uncertainty hanging upon every cir
cumstance connected with this la
mentable affair, that We are at a loss
how to fulfil this promise to the satis
faction of our distant readers. That
between fifty and seventy houses have
l>een consumed?that a great destruc- j
4ion of property has taken place?we
can fully attest; but we know nothing
as to the origin of-the calamity.
The fire was discovered about
ibur o'clock, in a building formerly
used as a lumber-house. Some per
sons sav, it was communicated bv
? ' *
ihe w adding of aswivel, tired from
?ome vessel coming up the river.?
But no one we believe states this in
? confident manner, and therefore
we do,not give it entire ..credence.?
Information of this, and of the_con
sequences likely to ensue, watf
brought into town (properly so cal
led) by means of a gentleman pas
ting through iilundford at (lie time;
ami the alarm sounded in every di
rection.
It was near seven o'clock, when
tbe fury of tlie flames began some
what to abate. Contrary to general
expectation, ? the two buildings on
either side of the street, next to the
Causeway, were preserved, I;e
tweeo these and the Street mention
ed above running N. and IS. forming
the eastern line of tlie M. 11, lot,
all is desolate and waste.
Petersburg as a town will suffer
"but little by this conflagration, tint
* the individuals upon whom the blow
has immediately fallen, will feel it
most sensibly. This jmrt of Bland
-rford was inhabited chiefly by poor
people ; and many of this class have
*4ost every ttiitift and all of them
;,%svelttM more than tliey can " afford
V to lose." We fear very little of ihe
; property destroyed, has been insur
ed.
It affords us nlea&ire to hear, the
Common Hall lias taken the case of
~ the iilandford sufferers iuto its con
sideration. we .hope some plan,
having for its object their speedy re
lief will l>e adoptod without delay.

? A correspondent of tlie Raleigh Star
tpimmariztrto thusVery little, business of
Importance baa been done by the present
Congres*. The Senate have had eight or
ten Indian treaties, and the British treaty
to act on, in addilionto their other Execu*
tlvc and/Legislative duties. They have
a bill establishing a Supreme Court*
conViHtiiK-; of the present Judges of the cir
cuit Courta of the United States ; aud
authorising the appointntomt of nine cir
cuit Judges. They have patsed the reso
lutions by the requisite majority to amewl
tjie constitution of the U. States, so that
'each state shall be divided into districts
(or the purpose of electing representatives
t? ( ongress and cbusing electors io vote
io*1 s President of ihe United States: and
they have passed acveral bills relative to
the trade and commerce of the United
States and altering the manner of telling
the public lands.
As for the House of Representatives,
?hcy seem to have spent their time in de
abating. They were nearly three weeks
'discussing sundry resolutions intended to
Ciensure the conduct of (irnriial Jackson
in prosecuting the war against the Semi
nole Indians. The conduct of many
members put me in mind of the Mussul
man and hog.?It socms Mahomet cursed
a certain part of the hog and forbid his
followers from eating that part?It was a
dispute among them, what part of the hog
was forbidden.-?Some said it was the head,
*ind they freely eat of the tail and other
?parts Some declared the tail was curs
ed, and they eat of all other parts:?80
that upon the whole they eat up the hog.
??So it has been with Jackson. Some
blame him for hanging the two Indian
_ Chiefs -r-Some blama him foe taking Str
Marks?-others acquit him for nil these
acts, but fensure him for taking Pcu:a
CuXa and-!Tie Ifcar luicits.5To tnat ?wl6n?
them they curse him from head to foot,
soul and body. Whilst this windy war has
been waging among the members, the
people of the United States are vicing with
one another in honoring) feasting applaud
iig; the old veteran for victories which
'place him upon a footing with the great
est generals of the age^ and justly entitle
him to the gratitude of his country.
