Br the UNITED STATES,
In CONGRESS assembled,
Proclamation.
^^"^R^AS it hath pleased Almighty God, the
,? Father of mercies, remarkably to assist and fup
put the United States cf America in their important
ft™gfe for liberff, egainft the long continued efforts
of a powerful nation: it is the duty cf all ranks to
obEr e and thankfully acknowledge the intefpoffon# of
lis Provider ein :h:ir behalf. Though the whole of
the contest, rem its hidrife to this time, tne influence
0' Divine Providence may be clearly perceived in many
signal inftancet, of which we mention but a few.
In revealing the council, cf a-r enemies, when the
difeoveries were seasonable and important, and the
means were seemingly inadequate or fortuitous: In
preferring & rd even improving the union cf the feverai
states, on th^ breach of which our enemies placed their
grweft dependence :—ln i^cr^fin; the number, and
adding to the zeal and attachment of the friends cf lib
city :—ln granting remarkable deliverances, and bless
ing us with the rnoft signal success, when affairs fesmed
to have the mod difcouraping appearance : In raid
ing up for ns a powerful and generos ally, in one of
the firft of the European powers :—ln confounding the
councils ofour enemies, and tuff-ring them to purfee
such meafmet, as have rnoft <iirf&ly contributed to
fruft ate their own d : fces ard exorßations: Above
all, in m king their extreme cruelly to the inhabitants
of thffe states, when in thrir po^er, and their savage
devaluation of property, the very means cf c?merting
opr union, and adding vigour to every eff, rt in oppo
sition to them.
And as we cannot help leading the good people of
th^fe stat- stoa retrofpe& on the erects which have ta
ken place face the beginning of th^ wir, so we recom
mend in a pa,ticu§3r manner to their observation, the
froodnr r s of God in the ye m now drawing to a conclu
sion. In which the confederation of th/United States
has b^n coinrleatia :—ln which there have been so
many i fiances of trope's and fu refs in our armies,
p.trt icnhrh in he lo rthern fates, where, notmthftand
ing the difficulties with which the; bad to struggle, they
have rrcovere § the whole country rhich the enemy had
ov r run, leaving them only a post cr two on or near
th- fca :—ln which we have been so powerfully and cf
fe&uaßy < fliftM by cur allies, whi'e in all the conjunct
op rations th? rnoft pr fed harmony has subsisted in the
ailed army :—lu which there has been so plentiful a
hirveft, and id gre-t abundance of the fruits of the
earth of every bind, as not only enables ut easily to s up .
ply the wants cf eur army, but fives comfort and happi
t> the whole people :—And in which, after the success
of our allies by sea, a general of the firft rank, with
his whole army, has been captured by the a lied for
ce', under the dirraion of our ccnmxnder in chief.
I rthe efcra recommended to the feverai states t 3
Gta?.rt the THIRTEENTH day cf DECEMBER
nex, to be rebgioufly ohlerved as a day of THANKS
GIVING and PRAYER; that all the people may affem
o-o. that day, with grateful hearts,to celftratethe praif

of all grice, that it may please him to pardon cur offen
ces, and incline our hearts for the future to keep all bis
laws, to comfort and relieve all cur brethren who are
in differs or captivity ; to prosper ^ur hufbandnum, and
give success to all engaged in lawful commerce ; to im
