BY THE PRESIDENT of the United States A PROCLAMATION . \-\7HEREAS certain violent ( / VV and unwarrantable pro ceedings have lately taken place,tend ing to obftrudt the operation of the laws of the United States for raising a revenue upon spirits difti 1 led with in the fame, enacfted pursuant to ex press authority delegated in the con ltitution of the United Srates : which proceedings are subversive of good order, contrary to theduty that every citizen owes to his country and tothe laws, and of a nature dangerous to the very being of a government. And whereas fach proceedings ?re the more unwarrantable, by rea(on of the moderation which has been heretofore shewn on the part of the government, and of the disposition which has been manifefted by the le gislature (who alone have authority to suspend the operation of laws) to obviate causes of objection, and to render the laws as acceptable as pos sible : and whereas it is the particu lar duty of the Executive " to take care that the laws be faithfully exe cuted and not only that duty, but the permanent interests and happi ness of the people require, that every legal and neceflary Hep should b~- pur sued, as well to prevent such violent and unwarrantableproceedings, as to bring to justice the infractors of the laws and secure obedience thereto. Now Therefore I, GEORGE WASHINGTON, President of the United States, do by these presents most earnestly admonish and exhort all persons whom it may concern, to refrain and desist from all unlawful combinations and proceedings what soever, having for object or tending to obftruft the operation of the laws aforefaid ; inafnuich as all lawful ways and means will be ftridtly put in execution for bringing to justice the infractors thereof and securing ehcdience thereto. A.ad 1 do moreover charge and re quire a It courts, niagiftrates and offi cers <vl it may concern, according to the th of their several offices, to exert th : powers in them respec tively v.-fti by law for the purposes aforefai.i ereby also enjoining and reqnliin -.11 persons whomfover, as the} te ?r the welfare of their coun try , th< ill and due authority of go vern mei t, and the preservation of the p'il ic peace, to be aiding and as sisting therein according to law. In 't'tftimony whereof, I have caused (he Seal of the United Slates to be affixed to thefeprefents, and Signed '.he fame -with my Hand- Bone this fifteenth day of September, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and ninety two, and of the Independence of the United States the seventeenth.

PROPOSALS FOR PRINTING BY SUBSCRIPTION, An ELEGANT EDITION oj the SACRED SCRIPTURES Ot the OLD ami NEW TESTAMENTS, with the Apocrypha, 0n a very large and beantijul new T)pe, andfupeijine Paper. THE great importance ot the Holy Scriptures, imereiting to every individual; the divine excel lence of its do£trincs and precepts, and the beauty and sublimity of its paflages, have so long made it a capital object of attention, as to preclude occa sion or opportunity for eulogium. The piety or enterprize of individuals has pre sented this invaluable book to the public in a va riety ot forms ; in some editions it has been highly embellished with superb engravings, which have greatly enhanced its price ; in others it has been accompanied with voluminous commentaries, which neceflarily encreafed the size; while a va riety of plain cheap copies have generally diffufed the knowledge of the Scripture, and made the purchase easy to every class. Without wishing in the lmaileft degree to lessen the merits ot the various editions, whether plain or ornamented, which the public are already in poirtflion ot, it is pertinent to remark, that very many readers ot taste and judgment have exprefled a with for a Family Bible unencumbered with ad ditions. There still appears room for another edition on a beautiful new type, superior in size and elegance to any bible that has yet been printed in the English language, and which, leaving the adventitious circumstances ot ornament or com ment, may exhibit the Oracles oj God in their na tive limplicity. SPECIMEN OF THE TYPE. I 5 And God said, d Let there be light: and there was light. With refpe£lful fubmiflion to the judgment and candour of the public, the following proposals are offered : I. The woik (hall be printed with the gieateft fidelity and attention to corre&r.efs both in the text and marginal references, on a fuperfine Paper made on purpose, with an elegant new Type call for the work of the size ot the above Specimen. 11. The work will be comprised in twenty number.*, making two elegant volumes in Folio ; to be furnifhed to fubfeubers at one dollar each number. To prevent any complaints of want of punctuality, no part of ihcwork wll be delivered unlef. paid for. 111. The firft number, containing sixty folio pages, elegantly printed, will be furnUhed on the firft Saturday of July next, when fubferibers are to pay the price of the firft and second numbers, and the piice of one number to be always in ad vance till the work ts completed.
