We have rercived the t-rflnwinr account 01 th t ui/h'ratin of Detroit from an audieu tie I'oare-n It will he read with deep inte rest bv nn readers- THE CONFLAGRATION or DETROIT. This event happened on the 11 th of of June last. The flames commenced u'oout 2 o’clock in the morning, and vrithin four hours the whole town was laid in afheo. Only two or three buil dings, of little value, filuated in the borders, were preferred. Abont 300 edifices, of all kinds, were consumed, among which were nearly an hundred dwelling houses, the church, several {lores, the citadel, with ©filer's and fo!- dicr’s ba; racks, contra&or’s tlores, Uai ted States’ flare, Ur. &c The new fort and barracks, called fort Lcrnault, a little back of the town, were not great ly endangered, and an old block house, at the south end, escaped In a word, all that space cncbleJ within picquets, and denominated the town, pr feats no thing but a heap of ruins confiding of naked chi.mnies and cinders. The rapidity of the deftruftion wa3 perhaps unprecedented, but will not appear fupriling to any one previotifly acquainted with the place—The buil ding* were mollly old, all of wood, and dry as tinder—-extremely crouded toge ther, on an arrea of about three acres— the ftrecli very narrow (the widest not exceeding 20 feet) interfering rettan gulary at fmail diflanccs—and every iquare completely covered witfi combus tibles. Tins mode of building tile town originated, not merely from want of Itale in the ancient fettiers, but from the nectlfity of defence in war, as this lettlement has tor a long time been a frontier, peculiarly txpoied to danger from the natives, and far removed from the means of external fuecour. It has bee-H found necessary, till very lately, to keep tlie picquets iuclofing the town iu repair, bdi ic# being under protection of the cannon, of an adjoining fort and block house. The town was funufhed with but one lire engine, which, with the prompt afliltance of the troops for merly fuiioned here, hail been fulHcient to c> tiiigmlh occalionally fires upon their lit it appearance ; but at p ref. at the troops on tins itatiou are few, and the want of aid from that fjuree was fe vcrely felt on the late -occasion. Uy what means the fire was kindled, whether hy accident or deftgn, is uncer tain —there are various conjecture*, but tio*drcidrd opinion. It b-gan in a sta ble near tlie United States’ ltore, on y. v. quartir, a light breeze blowing from ttie louth. iis progress againlt and atuwart it )e wind was artoiulhing, but in the direction of it tlie blaze darted with nearly® Ac celerity ot lightning, and reached the oppofue extremity of the town in a very lew moments. The lire in no part had diminished till the whole was in tbla7,. *" a °“ c iuin;c..r, —-• of flame ivas prclentcd to the eye, hav ing the appearance of proceeding from but one building'of vail extent. due llreeta became impaft-iblc as the fire progressed, being filled from fide to fide with an impenetrable column of smoke and liamc, which wafted by the current of air through the north and south streets, lb earned to a great dillaiice be yond the limits ot the houses. To the ditlant ipedator, and to the wretched inhabitants, who after a short lapie of time eoullbe no more than fpetiatoia, the feene was at once sublime and pain ful, exceeding in awful grandeur perhaps almost an/ fpcCtacle of the kind which has happened fi ice the world began. It waa fortunate that the catastrophe did not trke place in the night, as there mull hsve been a greater dellruclion of goods and tfTcdis, rr.d unqudlionably of fame lives. Nn lives were latl and but one pufcn (a poor wo man) was badly injured. Means have been taken to afeertsin correctly the amount of losses in property, and pro gress has been made so tar as to place it beyond a doubt that they exceed one JvnJrrJ nntl thirty tboufanJ Jo!lnn, pro bably approaching near 150,000. The conflngi.ition took place at a time of Jay that the inhabitants were generally near their homes, and were enabled to save more of moveable effects than could lui*c been expected in so ihort a time as was allowed them, great quantities, how ever, fe.l a laeiific-, anJ individuals, whose 111 ales confided iu buildings, were iu one d\\ induced from eligible circumstances to poverty. There is no cibzen but has iulfered more or let's. At prtfi nt, the people are feat te red up and down the feu lenient, crowding the houles even to overflowing, occupying hovels and every thing haring the shape of an edifice, and several families are en camped in booths upon the public com mon and th; highways. Tlie fuffering* of the people in the enluing winter mull inevitably be great ; wc tremble to anti, cipate them. Hemmed in on every fiJe by th: wildemef., in Home directions in terminable, and in otheis extending too great a dnlance to admit of being p.-iicd by an impovrrithed people, they are res tri&cd to this fettkment, na-row in its extent, with indifferent cultivations, and tlie houses iu bad repair. Not a farm is cultivated one unle from the river bank, nor a building erected. There the wd dcraefs commences which extends to the western ocean. The fettlerucnt up and down the bank of the river is but a few miles in extent, and taken up by farmers, who have no room to spare in thrir dwellings and raise barely a luffi cirney for tlie supply of their own wants. The houicku futferers have little time, mid Hill lrfs means, to provide ;., : f„rthemfcsv^tV ore the approach of’ T h” cold f-'ifT• Provifiofis of every kind arc at an exces fivelv hit'll price. Tinas eiroumflaiiced, what can be before these mifcrable peo ple but a winter of rigorous {offerings ! If credit and charity mould furnifli them with food, yet there cannot be Hielter and covering fufHcient for their comfort. Applications for relief are sent and fen. ding to various parts of the United States, and of Canada, which it :• hoped and believed will not be sent in vain. We have lively expeditions, founded on the tried and known benevolence of the people of both countries towards their fellow citizens in cases of fi-mlar calami ty ; and a more diflrefstul case, it is pr t fumed, has rarely been submitted to their benevolent coriftJeration. In a diilant and remote point of view, the confiagtion of this town may be considered not unlike that which hashap haped to Tome other towns, whose firlt conltruction was unfavorable to conveni ence and health; it may ultimately be be neficiai, although at present so highly af flicting and deplorable. A plan is alrea dy devised and applied to the former (i te of the town, which, by extending it, and widening the streets, giving them different dire&iona, providing public squares, it is conceived will promote the health and convenience of t.ne inha bitants, as well as improve the beauty of the place, The plan is nearly that of the city of wafhinglon. BONAPARTE AND THE POPE. L KE MAST EX LIRE MAN. Milan, June 1 —On the 25th ultimo, his e::;eilency the Cardinal Caprara, Arch j bilhop of Milan, Legate-a-lalere ot his Holincfs to his Majesty the Ernoaror of the French, was admited to a private au dience, and delivered to the Emperor the new credentials of the Holy Father, ac crediting him all’o in the fame dignity to Ins Majelly as King of Italy, for the tranfadion of all affairs in which the rioly See it interfiled in that kingdom. Besides these new credentials, his emin ence delivered on the part of his Holincls the following congratulatory to his Majesty ; ;• Pius VI l. to our dear son in Je sus Cliriil: greeting and apotlolieal bcnedi&ions. Your Imperial and Royal Majesty is not acquainted with all the fentiment* with which we are penetrated for you, and with what gratitude we remember the things you have done in France iu fav >r of the Catholic religion, and the proofs of love and refpedt which you gave ui> during our lfay in Paris ; you can then readily comprehend with wtiat interell we have learned that the regal dignity was united in your person to the imperial dignity with which you were already ir.vcfted. The reciprocity of our love, and that paternal tendernef* which we feel towards you, render very dear to ux.whr.te v'r i.l irlurbv'*, f ’- T . r i.iuUkl h ive lent a particular Nuncio to telhfy to you these dispositions ; but, knowing alt your benevolence towards our dear foil, Jeaa Baptifta Caprara, Cardinal Pricll ot the Holy Roman Church, Archbiihop of Milan, we have not hcl'uated to believe that the teftimo nie* on our part could not be better re ceived than when presented by him. We have then charged him to present hmifclf before you, and to impart to you all the fentinaents of our heart, on this occasion, in which you receive anew dignity. It is he who will present to you this letter, and we are sure that the congratulations he will make to you in our name will be accepted by you with benevolence. In fine, we doubt not but you will employ all the authority you are invelled with to Retire in your new kingdom all the advantages of religion, which is the column and the support of all kingdoms; and we- have the farther confidence that you w ll continue to give us thole marks of love and filial relpeft which wc have always received from you. In the mean time we give from the bot tom os our heart, the apololical benedic tion to your imperial majesty, in pledge of our paternal benevolence. “ Given at Rome, at Marie Mag giore, under the ring of the fiftier, the 26th May, 1805, 111 tlie sixth year of our Pontificate. “ JOHN, xlrihbijl>"p of Carthage.” From a Utter of a young fuilent in Prince ton to the editor oj the Enquirer.

THE fubferibers ibr pubiic, th c having procured an airy and commodious houie, in a healthy part of the city •, they have again opened a private HOSPITAL, and hope, from the innumerable advantages re sulting from fucb an inflitution, it will be liberally supported. The poor will receive Medical Services gratis; provided the humane citizens will come for ward and make feme appropria tions for the board and nursing of (uch persons, which fhail nor exceed fix dollars per week. It is true, as it is melancholy, to re late, that three fourths of the Teamen, buried in this place have died for the want of suitable di et, and nursing when Pick. For no sooner arc they indifpoled, than the proprietors of the hous es where they board, flow them away in a close garret, without paying attention either to clean- linefs or any thing else, necessary for their recovery. This evil can non be remedied. The sick in rcorting to the hospital, will find every comfort and con venience at a moderate expence. The infii ution is to be gov erned by the subjoined rules, lit. White patients fhail be en itled to one weeks residence and attendance for the tarn of twelve dollars ind for every week afterwards eight dollars. Negroes, ten dollars the firlt week and fix dollars for every week afterwards. ad. Medicines, Nursing, di eting and bedding, lhall be fur nifhed by the inltuucion for the lums above fpecified, but where wine is necessary it mult be found at the cxpenceofthe patients, or owner cf Negroes. 3d; Patients lhall be visited three times a day or oftener if ne cessary, by one or both of the in fiitucors. 4th. In cases where impor tant targical operations are ne ceffarv, a moderate additional charge will be made. g? h j-* ~ - -* -a and nurses lhall be provided for white persons. As the inflitution will require a considerable advance of capi tal for bedding and daily expen ses, it is necessary that the sum fpecified for the firft week’s resi dence is the Hospital, be paid on admifiion of the patient lb as to enable the fublcribers to con tinue the institution without lol's to themselves, and with advan tage to the community. It is further necessary to be understood, thatnoperfon, white or black, will be received in the Hospital, unless fome responsible person will become anlwerable for the subsequent charges and pay tlie fame on the difeharge of the patient. And r.lfo in case of deach, the person who affurr.es the payment of the weekly char ges, lhall in addition to what may be due the infiitution, pay the expences of interment, which in every case be as mode rate as poflible.
