ings. Reed the Compliments of differ
ent classes of people, and, in the evening,
between and O'Clock, went TO an As
sembly, where there were at least an hun
dred and handsome and well dressed
Ladies. Abt. nine l returned to my
Lodgings.
The Road from Boston to this place is
here and there Stoney tho level; it is
very pleasant; IN most parts, you are IN
sight Of the Meads. arabic Land, and
Rocky hills, are much intermiXed-the
latter chiefly on the left. The country
seems to be in a manner entirely strip
ped of wood. The Grazing is good
the houses stand thick After leaving
Cambridge, at a distance of 4 miles, we
passed tho Mystick-then Maiden
next Lynn, where, it is said, Us. ZOO pairs
of shoes women's chiefly have been
made in one year abt. 400 workmen. =
TUESDAY, 3D..
Sat two hours in the forenoon for a Mr..
painter Visited by a
clergyman by the name of Haven, who
presented me with an Ear and part of the
stock of the dying Corn, and several
small pieces OF cloth which had been
dyed with it, equal to any colours have
ever seen, of various colours. The Corn
was blood red, and the rind of the stalk
deeply tinged of the same colour
About two O'Clock l received an Ad-
dress from the Executive Of the State
of New Hampshire, and half an hour
later, dined with them and a large
company at their assembly room. which
is OQa of the b st l have seen anywhere
in the United States. At half after
seven, went to the Assembly. where
there were about IS well dressed, and
many of them handsome Ladies'
among whom as was also the case
at the Salem and Boston assemblies
were a greater proportion with much
blackcr hair than are usually seen in
the Southern States y Ports
mouth, it is said contains about 5000 in
habltants. There are some good houses
among which Colo Langdons may be es-
teemed the first but in general they are
Indifferent, and made almost entirely of
wood. On wondering at this, as the
country is full of stone and good clay for
bricks, / was told that on account of the
fogs and damp, they deemed them whole
somer, and for that reason preferred
wooden buildings. Lumber. fish and
potash, with some Provisions, comprises
the principal articles of export. Ship
building here and at Newburyport, has
been carried on to cons Lderable extent.
During, and for some time after the war,
there was an entire stagnation to it; but
it is beginning now to revive again. The
number of ships belong ng to the port are
estimated at - 't
WEDNESDAY 4rH.
About half after seven l left Ports
mouth, quietly and without any attend
auce, having earnestly entreated that all
parade and economy might be avoided on
my return. Before 10 l reached Exeter,
IA miles distance, This is considered as
the second town in New Hampshire, and
stands at the head of the tidewater of the
Piscataqua river; but ships of 800 and 800
tons are built at it. Above Tbut in the
town are considerable falls. which sup
ply several grist mills, two oil mills, a
Sitting mill and snuff mill. 1t IS place
OF some consequence, but does not con tain
more than ZOO inhabitants. A jealousy
subsists between this Town where the
Legislature alternately sits and
Portsmouth; where, had l known il in
time would have made it necessary to ac-
ept an invitation to a public dinner,
but my arrangements having been other
wise made, l could not. From hence,
passing through KingstOwn Isix miles
from EXeterl ! arrived at Haverhill,
about haf-past two, ana staid all night.
Walked through the town, which stands
at the head of the tide of Merrimack
River, and in a beautiful part of the
country. The lands over which travelled
to-day are pretty much mixed in places
with stone-and the growth with Pine
till 1 came near to HaVerhill, where they
disappeared, and the land had a more fer
tile appearance. The whole were pretty
well cultivated, but used lprin-
cipallyl for grass and Indian
corn. In Haverhill, is a duck man
ufactory, upon a small but ingenious
scale. under the conduct of Colo.
At this factory one small person turns
wheel which employs eight spinners, each
ontin-r ipHnnaud nptlV Of ri n an
to occasion no interruption to the rest if
any one of them is pped-whereas, at
the Boston mandatory each spinner has
a small girl to turn the wheel. The looms
are also somewhat di ferently constructed
from the common kind and upon an i'm
proved plan The inhabit'ts OF this small
village were well-disposed to welcome me
to it by every demonstration which could
evince their joy, g. .....
80 SUNDAY, STH.
1t being contrary to the law, and disa-
greeable TO the People of this State, [Con-
necticut] to travel on the Sabbath day,
and my horses, after passing through
such intolerable Roads, wanting rest, l
stayed at Perkins Tavern which by the
way, is not good onel, all day-and, a
Meeting House being a few rods of the
door, ] attended morning and evening
service, and heard very lame discourses
from Mr. Pond.
TUESDAY, 10TH.
Left Hartford about o'clock, and took
the middle of the Road INSTEAD of the

Breakfasted at Worthington, in the town
ship of Berlin, at the house OF one Fuller.
Bated at Smith S on the plains of Walling-
ford. and got into New Haven

At this place, met Mr.. Gerry, in the
stage from New York, who gave me the
first certn. acct of the health of Mrs.
Washington.
SUNDAY, 18th.
Went to ST. Paul's capel in the fore
noon-and after returning from thence,
was visited by Received an in
vitation to attend the Funeral of Mrs
Roosevelt the wife of Senator of this
State] but declined complying with it
first, because OF the proprie;y of accept
ing any invitation of this sort appeared
very questiona ble-and secondly, Though
TO do it in this Instance might not be i'm
proper because it might be difficult to
discriminate in cases which might arise
in the future
