By the UNITED STATES in CONGRESS
assembled, June 21, 1783.
Refolded,
T^H AT the President and Supreme Execu
tive Council of Penfylvania be informed,
that the authority of the United States having
been this day grossly insulted, by the disorderly
and menacing appearance of a body of armed
soldiers about the place within which Congrcfs
were assembled; and the peace of this city being
endangered by the mutinous disposition of the
said troops now in the barracks, it is in the opi
nion of Congress necessary, that effectual raea
fures be immediately taken for supporting the
public authority:
Refolded, That the Committee on a letter
from Col. Butler be directed to confer without
loss of time, with the Supreme Executive Coun
cil of Pennsylvania, on the practicability of car
rying the preceding resolution into effect; and
that in case it shall appear to the committee, that
there is not a fatisfadory ground for expecting
adequate and prompt exertions of this Bate for
supporting the dignity of the foederal govern
ment, the President, on the advice of the com
mittee, be authorized and directed to summon
the Members of Congress to meet on Thursday
next at Trenton or Princeton, in New-Jersey, in
order that further and more effectual measures
may be taken for suppressing the present revolt,
and maintaining the dignity and authority of
the United States.
Refolded, That the Secretary at War be di
rected to communicate to the Commander in
Chief the state and disposition of the said troops,
in order that he may take immediate measures
to dispatch to this city such force as he mayjudge
expedient for suppressing any disturbances that
may ensue.
CHARLES THOMSON, Sec'ry.
Friday last being the 4th of July, the citizens
of this town met at the house of Isaiah Yard,
innholder, to celebrate the anniversary of Ame
rican independence. About noon thirteen can
non were discharged ; after which the company
partook of a genteel cold collation, and retired
about one o'clock.
THE Subferiber takes this method to inform his customers,
that stand indebted to him by book, to pay the fame
in fix weeks from the date hereofor they may expeatrouble.
As the debts in general arc but small sums it is hoped this
request will be chearfuily complied with; which may ena
ble the Subferiber to lay in his Rock against another fcalon
to advantage, and lower his price for the benefit of his ge
nerous customers that pay ready money, which he only
wishes to oblige.
