AS the fafety and prosperity of nations ultimately and efTentinlly depend ou the prote6Vion and the blefting of Almighty | God ; and the national acknowledgment of this tmrh is not only an indifpenfahle duty which the people owe to him, but duty whose natural influence is favorable t<> the promotion of that Morality and Piety, w *h out which social cannot ex ill no J the Bleflings of a Free Government be en joyed ; and as this Duty, at all times in cumbent, is so efpccially in seasons of Dif ficulty or of Danger, when exifling or threa- j tening Calamities, the just Judgments of God iigainit prevalent Iniquity, are a loud call to Repentance and Reformation : And f as the United States of America are, at pre sent, placed in a hazardous and affli&ive fit- ! uatitfn, by the unfiiehdly Disposition, Con- j dixsl and Demands of a foreign power, e- ! v nced by repeated refufals, to receive our Me (Ten gers of Reconciliation and Peace, by Depredations on our Commerce, and the Infli&ion of Injuries on very many of our Fellfcw-Citizens, while engaged in their law ful business on the Seas Under these con lideraiions it has appeared to me that the Duty of imploring the Mercy and Benedic tion of Heaven on our Country demands, at this time, a special attention from its In habitants. I HAVE therefore thought fit to recom mend, and I do hereby recommend, that IVedntfclay the Ninth Day of May next be observed throughout the United States, as a day of Solemn Humiliation, Falting, and, Prayer; 1 hat the Citizens of these States, abllaining on that Day from their customa ry Woildly Occupations, offer their devout Addiefies to the Father of Mercies, agree ably to those iqrms or methods which they ' have severally adopted as the most suitable 1 and becoming : That all Religious Congre- 1 gations do, with the decpeft Humility, ac- ' knowledge before God the manifold Sins and Transgressions with which we are justly ( chargeable as Individuals and as a Nation ; ' befeeeliing him, at the fame time, of his in finite Grace, through the Redeemer of the World, freely to remit all our Offences, and ' to incline u., by his Holy Spirit, to that 1 lincere Repentance and Reformation which may afford us reafott to hope for his inesti mable Favour and Heavenly Benediftion : I hat it be made the fubjedfc of particular and earnest supplication, that our Country may be protected from all the dangers which threaten it ; that our Civil and Religious ' privileges may be pieferved inviolate and ' perpetuated to the latell Generations ; that ( oar public Councils and Magistrates maybe ■ tfpecially enlightened & dire&ed at this cri- ' tical period ; that the American People may * be united in those Bonds of Amity and mu- tual Confidence, and inspired with that Vi- 1 gour and Fortitude by which they have in 1 tunes {Kit been so highly diltinguiihed, and 1 by which they have obtained such inralua- 1 ble Advantages : That the Health of the Inhabitants or our Land may be preferred, and their Agriculture, Commerce, Fifhe nes, Arts, and Manufaaures be blessed and - prospered ; that the principles of Genuine 1 Piety and Sound Morality may influence 1 the Minds and govern the Lives of every de- ' fcriplion of our Citizens ; and that the Bleflings of Peace, Freedom, and Pure Re- 1 lijjion, may be fpeedly extended to ail the Nations of the Earth. And finally I recommend, that on the said day, the Duties of Humiliation and Prayer be accompanied by fervent Thanks giving to the Beftower of every Good Gift, not only for having hitherto prote&cd and preserved the People of these United States ' in the independent Enjoyment of their Re ligious and Civil Freedom, .but also for hav ing prospered them in a wondel-ful progress of Population, and for conferring on them nany and great Favours condudtive to the 1 Happiness and Prosperity of a Nation. u GIVEN Hurler my Hand and the Seal e of the United States as America, | v (ls) at Philadelphia, this twenty third ■ V day of March, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred ' ( and ninety.eight, and of the Inde- ! pendente of the said States the twen- P ty-fecond.

" We have accounts from France, which confirm the new decrte of the French, to take all neutral vessels with British goods. They have besides declared England and Ire I land to be in a Oate of blockade (they should i have added, by their own Jhips J and forbid | den all neutrals from trading with them." In an article published in yesterday's Gazette it was said that there is not one of ficer whose conduct in the late war will bear scrutiny, who is to be found among " the base hireling crew ©f caluminating Jaco bins." Callender, in the Aurora of this morn ing, has printed the above assertion, and immediately under it the following : " Looking into Congress we find many refpettable military chara&ers ©ppofed to the present plan of war, such as general Smith of Baltimore, colonel Parker of Vir ginia, gen. M'Dowell and col. Gillefpie, of North Carolina. It is needless to mul tiply farther examples." Has Callender the audacity to insinuate that either of the above gentlemen are Ja cobins ?
