FROM PHILADELPHIA.

Of the date of the 27th ultimo, we learn, that the Fever had wholly disappeared from that city: that the Secretary at War, and other officers of the General Government, had resumed their former residences there in; and that several Members of Congress had arrived. That no intelligence had been received from General Wayne—nor was the account of the brush between the rear-guard and a party of Indians, any thing more than a report; which if true, can have no effect on the general operations.
