affords much matter of consolation
and satisfaction, Our exemption hith-

prospect of the continuance of that
exemption, the great degree of internal
tranquility by the suppression of an
insurrection which so wantonly threat-

circumstances which particularly mark
our situation with the indications of
the Divine beneficence toward us, In
such a state of things it Is in an espe-

devout reverence and affectionate grat-

to implore Him and
