BOSTON, September 18, 1797.

HE Contructor, having extended to his fellow-citizens all reaonable gratification of their laudable curioity, during the progres of the building, believes he may, with propriety, make the following requet and uggetions, on the operation of launching the frigate CONSTITUTION.

That (excepting the Preident of the United States, the Governor, Lieut. Governor, and their repective uites, and others pecially admitted, who will, comparitively, be very few) no peron will attempt, in any way, to pas into the limits of the Navy Yard.

The reaon of this requet is obviouly to prevent interruption or confuion, which might be injurious, or ruinous, to the act of launching, which will be critical, under the mot favorable circumtances, and indipenably requiring perfect ilence and obedience to orders. Independent of this concluive reaon, the danger of encroaching pectators would be imminent, from the occaional and abrupt falling of bodies, ued in the contruction of the hip—a conformity therefore, to this requet, is earnetly olicited.

It is uggeted, as the tide will be full, that it would be neceary to the afety of the pectators, particularly women and children, that they do not approach in crowds too near the margin of the contiguous wharves, as the udden entrance of o large a body as the Frigate, will occaion an intantaneous well of the water, the height of which cannot be eaily calculated, and againt which, therefore, the dicretion of the people ought amply to guard.

It is to be regretted, in this intance, that the Yard, and the places around it, are too contracted for an occaion, which will probably excite o much deire, and in which all the citizens have o much interet; it is therefore ubmitted to thoe, who can conveniently make the arrangement, to place themelves in veels, or water crafts, at due ditances, upon the profile or ides of the Frigate, but by no means too near, either in a right line, or otherwie, as the direction may be uncertain, nor to load open boats too deeply, as the agitation of the water, even at a coniderable ditance, may be omewhat hazardous.

It is alo recommended, to thoe who erect tages to accomodate pectators, that they have them well ecured, in every repect, as the los of life of a ingle citizen, would mar the atisfaction and pleaure that the Contructor otherwie would enjoy, of building, and conducting into the ocean, a, which hope dictates may become the jut pride and ornament of the American name.
