Edinburgh, Feb. 24. 1797. The Presbytery of Edinburgh having taken into their serious consideration the present alarming state of this kingdom, threatened with an invasion by the French, were unanimously of opinion, that it is their duty to address the people under their charge, and an occasion so interesting to men of every order: and the following address having been prepared by a committee, and approved of by the Presbytery, they gave directions to their clerk, to cause a copy of it, subscribed by their moderator and clerk, to be published in the Edinburgh Evening Courant, the Mercury, and the Edinburgh Advertiser, as soon as possible; and to send copies of it also to the several officiating ministers of the established church within the bounds of this Presbytery, with instructions that it shall be read from their pulpits on Sunday next the 26th current, immediately after divine service in the forenoon.--At head of caption title.
Signed Thomas Davidson, Mod. and Thomas Macnight, Clk.
