The brig Peggy 6fewart, Captain jackfon, from
London, havingon board (eventeen packages, con
taining 23201 b. of tnat detettable weed tea, arrived
here on Friday lad. Tne tea was consigned to
Thomas Charles Williams and company merchants
in tins city. 1 bofe of trie committee tor Anne-
Arundel county who were in town, hearing of the
arrival of laid veiled, met in the afternoon, and were
i normed the laid velfel had been entered in the fore
noon of that day and the day on tde tea paid to ite
code tor by Ale. ’Anthony Stewart, one o's the owners
oj said brig.—F^r uNy of the committee being pre
lent, it was thought advisable to calf a meeting of
the people.—Notice was thereupon immediately
given.— Many of the inhabitants, together with .1
number of gentlemen from Anne-Arundel, $ Balti
more, and other counties, who were attending the
provincial co^rt, met, and having called before them
trie importers and the Caption of the (hip, together
with the deputy collector —the queltion was moved
and seconded, whether the tea Ihouid be landed in
ylmerica or not ;. and the question being put, was
unammouily determined in the negative. A com
mittee of twelve persons was thereupon appointed
to attend landing the other goods on board laid
vefftl, and to prevent landing the tea. Arter which
the meeting adjourned to Wednesday the 19th, ata
31 o'clock. At which time the members of the com
mittee, and other the inhabitants of the county,
were requeued to attend at this place. In conse
quence ot this adjournment, a great number of very
refpcQable gentlemen from Anne-Ai undlef Balti
more, and Prince George's counties met here, and
amongst others, eight of the committee for Anne-
Arundel count/. Those of the committee pro
ceeded to examine into the affair, calling before
them Messrs. James and Joseph Williams, and
Anthony Stewart, and allo took into consideration,
an offer made by said Williams's and Stewart, to
deftrov the tea, and' make such concessions as might
lie fatisfactory to the committee and the people as
sembled. The committee wre of opinion, if the
tea was defrayed by the voluntary aft of the owners,
and proper cobceffions made, that nothing further
ought to be required. This their opinion being
reported to the assembly, was not fatisfa&ory to all
present. Mr. Stewart then voluntarily offered to
burn the vessel and the tea in her, and that proper
acknowledgments should he made and published in
the Maryland Gazette. Those acknowledgments
were accordingly made, and are as follows.
We James Williams, Jofepb Williams, and Anthony
Stewart do several) acknowledge, that we have
commuted a mft daring insult, and a 3 "f the moji per

pardon for the fame; and weffemnly declare, for tie
