RULES AND REGULATIONS.
Warden's Office, November 20, 1818.
For the information and government of Owners, Masters, and others, having the command, care, or charge of Ships or Vessels within the port or harbour of Philadelphia, the Wardens of the port conceive it necessary to publish the following Rules and Regulations :
1. Every ship or vessel that may arrive in this harbour, and that shall come to anchor in the stream, any where between Almond street (in the district of Southwark,) and Vine street, having pre- viously caused her gunpowder, if she had any on board, to be landed as the law directs, may remain in that situation 24 hours, and no longer: taking care to lay as near to the Island, or Sand-bar, - as may be consistent with their safety. But if, from the circum- stance of a vessel having servants on board, or from any other cause, it may be thought necessary or convenient to lay a longer time in the stream, then, and in every such case, the Owner, Mas- ter, Pilot, or other person, having the charge or direction of such vessel, shall remove her from opposite the city, and shall moor her, or cause her to be moored to the northward of Vine street, with one anchor and cable up, and one anchor and cable down the stream; and in both the above-mentioned situations, the regulations contained in the next succeeding article to be duly attended to.
2. When a ship or other vessel shall be hauled into any wharf or dock, or along side of another vessel that may be lying at such wharf or dock, the Owner, Master, Pilot, or whoever may have the command, care or direction of her, shall have her securely niade fast, and if outside of another vessel, shall get one good fast from each end of the vessel to the shore, and within 24 hours there- after, cause her jib-boom, spritsail-yard, main-boom, ring-tail and - driver-booms, if any they have, to be rigged in, and their lower yards topped up, in such a manner as least to interfere with ves- sels passing.
3. If any vessel, properly moored in the stream, shall have her anchor or cable overlaid by another ship or vessel, in anchoring or mooring, the Master or person having the care or direction of such last-mentioned ship or vessel, shall immediately, or soon as may be, after application made to him by the party aggrieved, cause the said anchor aud cable so overlaying, to be taken up and cleared.
4. If the fasts of a ship or vessel, when moored at a wharf, shall extend across a dock, so as to obstruct the passing or repassing of a shallop, lighter, or other craft or vessel, the Master or other per- son having the charge or command of such ship or vessel, shall upon the first application, immediately cause such fast or fasts to be cast off or slacked down.
xlviii
Paxton's Philadelphia Register.
5. No outward bound vessel putting off from a wharf, shall lay longer in the stream, between Vine street and Almond street (in the district of Southwark,) above-mentioned, than 24 hours. And if vessels lying at the end of wharves, so much interlock with each other, as to prevent vessels from hauling in or out of the docks, the Master, Owner, Pilot, or other person having charge of the same, shall immediately on application from'any person so wanting to haul his vessel in or out of the dock aforesaid, have the vessel or vessels, so interfering, moved in such manner as to accommodate the one applied for ; in which case the vessel mak- ing room for another to haul in or out, shall have liberty to make her warps fast to the most convenient place adjacent for a reasona- ble time, and that all sea vessels, when transporting or wanting to haul into a wharf or dock, or to make sail in order to proceed to sea, shall have the same privilege.
6. When any ship or vessel is laying along side any wharf, and not taking in or discharging, she shall make way for, and permit any vessel that wants to unload or load, to come inside next the wharf, until she discharges or loads her cargo ; and the said vessel when so discharged or loaded, shall haul outside, and give way to the ship or vessel that first occupied the wharf -- Provided, that from the first day of December, to the first day of March, no vessel shall be compelled to move.

Those ships marked thus #, are upon the Lakes, and are considered as forming a part of the Navy.
The smaller vessels are principally stationed at important passes, for the purpose of protecting our commercial trade, from priva- teers, &c.
THE PROGRESS AND PROSPECTS OF THE NAVY.
It will be recollected, that the Navy Yard at Washington, was burnt, and every thing in it destroyed, during the war. It has already, like Phonix, risen from its ashes. There is now on the stocks, a line of battle ship, nearly finished; the frame of a frigate ready to be put on the stocks, as soon as the 74 is launched ; a powerful steam engine, working a saw mill, tilt hammers, and the machinery of a block maker's shop, where all the blocks of the Navy are made. An extensive anchor manufactory ; a manufac- tory of chain cables ; extensive blacksmiths and plumbers' shops ; extensive mould and model lofts, boat builders and mast-makers' establishments, and every other convenience for furnishing from thence all the wants of the Navy, that such an establishment can furnish. There are besides, large quantities of naval stores, guns, and timber for ship building deposited there.
