Some time last week arrived, from London, the ship Polly and Peggy, but
brought no kind of merchant goods: in that time also arrived a brig from
Madeira, having a few pipes of wine. The owner advised the committee, and
declared his intentions to send away the said vessel and wines, agreeably to
the direction of the Congress.
