Messrs. Chilos IU Sw aike,

ficers and merchants of I.uimluikWi ry way

VV na|e, f«»r through the imposition ol
Diver, w c were near loi'inour ship. Vv J iei»
he applied to yon in New-York* little did we
think we had -t fmoggler to deal with ; in
two of the casks which wc supposed to con
tain fl;»x feed, were concealed two hundred
and lour pieces of n.tnkeens f which being fuf
pelted by t'*e revenue officer*, Diver went on
ihore and informed that he had nankeens on
board ; upon which Mr. Nswburgh, the col-
Je&or, leized the ship, telling me at the lame
time that he was obliged to do his duty, hut
that 1 might depend upon h:s alfiftance in my
unfortunate situation. 1 immediately (by
the advice of the principal merchants in this
place) gave in a petition to Sir Hugh Hill
Bart, the principal officer of his biajefty'ff re
venue, who being informed that every per
foil on board th<» ship (Diver excepted) was
qnjteignorant of the nankeens being on board,
ordered the ship to be fold at au&oii accord
ing to law ; every body being convinced that
I bad not been concerned in the Smuggling,
geiierouflv declined to bid against trie, and I
pur chafed rhe Mary from the levenue of Ire
land for ten guineas, when it was- generally
expected there wouid have been a line of live
fcund-ed guineas on her."
From the Impartial HkraiD-i new paper
lately ejlaklijked in JUtwbu ry-Pott—MaJJachujetts.
r*tnft from Topographical Sketches of the
County of ESSEX-
PASSING over the river, we enter Ando.
ver, divided into two parishes. The ge
neral appearance of this place is thriving, and,
for an agricultural town, the buildings, pub-
Jic and private, are in a style of uncommon
neatness and elegance. The land is of an
excellent quality, and under handsome culti
vation ; particularly that part of it which is
watered by Shaw/keen river, a considerable
stream which takes its rife in Bedford in the
couoty of Middlesex, and, pafling through
Billerica, Tewkfbury and Andover, dischar
ges itfelf into Merrimack river, at this latter
place. In the south parish are a powder-mill
and paper-mill. From tP.e former of these,
large supplies were fumifhed to the army,
during the late war. The paper-mill is yet
in its infancy, but has already exhibited spe
cimens of its manufacture of an excellent fa
bric. T! efe are both owned by the Hon.
Mr. Phillips, President of the Senate, a na
tive inhabitant of this town, wliofe unwearied
attention to the political, manufa&ural and
literary interests of his country are too well
known to need an encomium here, and have
endeared his name to the citizens of the Com
monwealth in general, aud especially to those
o the County of Elfex. Under his auspices,
aid by the liberal benefactions of his father,
tie late Hon. Samuel Phillips, of Andover,
and of the Hon. John Phillips, L L. D. of
Exeter, in the State of New Hampshire, an
academy was instituted in this town, in the
year 1778, and in the year 1780 an a<ft palled
the Legislature, incorporating the gentle
men above named, with sundry other refpeft
able characters, by the name of u The Truf-
of Phillips's Academy in Andover/'*
The appointments of this teminary are li
beral. A preceptor, an afliftant preceptor,
and a teacher of writing and practical mathe
matics, aie at present well fuppoi ted, and
the funds are said to be in a, growing state.
Witliiu its original defignfome higher branches
of learning may be taught as ability and op
portunity IHall arise.
* This name diflinguipies this inflitution from a
Jimi/ar one in New-Hawpfhirc, tailed "Phillips's
Exeter Academy,* founded Jolely by the Hon. Doctor
Phillips, the fund> of which are /aid to exceed
ten thou fund pounds currency.—hi addition to tkcfe
foundations, this gentleman has been hy far the tnofl
munificent benefnßoi to Dartmouth Uhivcfjily. Such
hi ft and pious diflributions of ptoperty in the life
time of the pojjcjfor are tl,e mofl honorable dfplay of
genuine pubiic J pint and dijint'erejled patriotism ;
and the man who thus nobly triumph s over the Jordid
didatcs oj avarice or a mijlaken flf-inttiejl-, has
fu/e!\ a better title to be canonized, than a whole
hofl of legendary J amis and martyrs.
A Manufadurer of Snuff in 80/ Inn. in his advertrfe
mcnt, givti the following charafler oj a particular
kind, which he denominates Violet Snuff :
44 IT is made from pure clcan Tobacco,
and granulated in such a manner, astoabforo
al! fupeifliiou* m&fturc in the head —it docs not
clog but clears it, and will raiher help than dc
ftroy the forech. From which there is not that
naul'eous effluvia, and ftaming the handkerchief,
that proceeds from fine fnuff.
" The odour which proceeds from this Snuff,
■plays around the delicate fibres of the nose,
mak'S it expand to receive the grateful particles
which diftufc themfvWr.i to the places dcfignrd,
J) rii.rm t4nnr office, and gcnily utuin and mix
with the native air."
