A PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the Providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor: And whereas both houses of Congress have, by their joint committee, requested me "to recommend to the people of the United States, a day of public Thanksgiving and Prayer, to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness."
Now therefore, I do recommend and assign Thursday the twenty sixth day of November next to be devoted by the people of these states, to the service of that Being, who is the benificent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be: That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks for his kind care and protection of the people of this country, previous to their becoming a nation: for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his Providence in the course and conclusion of the late war: for the great degree of tranquility, union and plenty, which we have since enjoyed; for the peaceable and rational manner in which we have been enabled to establish a constitution of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national one now lately instituted; for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed, and the means we have of acquiring, and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general, for all the great and various favours which he has been pleased to confer upon us.
And also, That we may then unite in most humble offering our pray-
ers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations, and beseech him to pardon national and other transgressions; to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually; to render our national government a blessing to all the people by constantly being a government of wise, just and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed; to protect and guide all sovereigns and nations (especially such as have shown kindness unto us) and to bless them with good government, peace and concord; to promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the encrease of science among them and us, and generally, to grant unto all mankind, such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best.
GIVEN under my hand, at the city of New York, the third day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and eighty-nine. G. WASHINGTON.

MERCHANDIZE

The following is a copy of an agreement entered into by the Kentucky Society in or near Danville
From a conviction that the welfare of Kentucky must depend in a great measure on the establishment of useful manufactures; and that this desirable end cannot be attained by individuals who are not able of themselves to purchase the machines and to advance such sums of money as would be necessary to carry them on with success.
WE the subscribers have agreed to associate ourselves by the name of "The Kentucky Society for the encouragement of manufactures" and we do oblige ourselves to pay to the managers hereafter to be chosen by the society the several sums affixed to our names, at the periods and on the conditions mentioned below: six shillings in every pound to be paid on or before the last day of September, 1789: one moiety of the remainder, on or before the last day of November, in the same year and the residue on or before the last day of March 1790.
We do further agree, that if the first payment is not made within twenty days of the time prescribed therefor, that the person failing shall forfeit his interest in the society and also be obliged to pay to the managers for the use of the society the amount of his first subscription, and that another subscriber may be admitted into his place: and that if the last payment is not made, within twenty days of the time prescribed therefor, that the first payment and all the interest in the society of the person so failing to pay shall be forfeited and that another subscriber may be admitted into his place.
Provided, that no person subscribing hereto shall be obliged to pay any part of his subscription, unless the sum subscribed altogether shall on the 20th day of September 1789 amount to £. 500 at the least.
Provided also, that the sum so to be subscribed shall be divided into shares: one share being allowed for every sum of ten pounds: and that every person or company in all meetings of the society, shall be allowed one vote for every share that he or they shall possess.
Provided, that no business respecting the society, shall be done in meeting consisting of less than a majority of the sharers, except by persons to be appointed by meetings consisting of at least a majority of the whole.
Provided, that a majority of the sharers shall have a right at any meeting, of which due notice shall have been given, to take such steps as to them may appear right for the carrying into execution the purposes of the said society, and for laying out and expending the monies hereby subscribed, and directing in all things respecting the same, except when it is specially directed otherwise by this agreement.
Provided, that the shares shall be assignable in such mode as shall be agreed on by the society: and that if it shall hereafter be judged necessary to increase the capital of the said company, it shall be done by increasing the number of shares, which additional shares the first subscribers shall have a right to take, before any strangers shall be admitted to subscribe.
Provided also, that so far as the money hereby is to be laid out in labour, materials or provisions within the district, that the managers shall allow the subscribers to furnish the same at cash prices, instead of the money so subscribed the same, to rest with the managers.
And for the purpose of setting the business into motion, there shall be a meeting of the subscribers at Danville on Saturday the nineteenth day of Sep-
tember, 1789, and if a majority of the sharers shall not then be present, on such other day as those who then attend shall appoint.
In witness whereof we hereunto set our hands this day of August 1789.
N.B. All persons desirous of encouraging such a society in or near Lexington, and are willing to become subscribers, are desired to meet at Capt. Tho. Young's tavern the second Tuesday in December next. Oct. 21, 1789.
At a meeting of the Trustees of the Town of Lexington August 1st 1789.

AUTHENTIC INFORMATION.
Every citizen of the World every friend to the rights of mankind—and more especially every citizen of the United States, must feel interested in the important Transactions in the Kingdom of France: The following authentic and judicious JOURNAL OF EVENTS, as they transpired from day to day, at the crisis of the glorious Revolution, will, we trust, be acceptable to our Readers.
Extract of a letter from Paris, July 24.
THE capture of three French merchant ships by the Algerines, under different pretences, has produced great sensations in the seaports of this country. The scarcity of bread begins to lessen in the southern parts of France, where the harvest is commenced: Here it is still threatening, because we have yet two or three weeks to the beginning of harvest.
The re-union of the orders took place on the 17th of June. Within the Assembly matters went on well; but it was soon observed that troops, and particularly the foreign troops, were on their march towards Paris from various quarters, and that this was against the opinion of Mr. Necker. The Marshal de Broglie was appointed to command all the troops within the Isle of France—Some of the French guards were soon arrested under other pretences but in reality on account of their disposition in favor of the national cause. The people of Paris forced the prison released them, and sent a deputation to the States General to solicit a pardon. The States, by a most moderate and prudent arrest, recommended these prisoners to the King, and peace to people of Paris. Addresses came in to them from several of the great cities, expressing sincere allegiance to the King; but a determined resolution to support the States General.
On the 8th of July they voted an address to the king to remove the troops. This piece of masculine eloquence, written by M. de Mirabeau, is worth attention. The king refuses to remove the troops, and says they may remove themselves, if they please, to Noyons and Soissons.
On the 9th they proceeded to fix the order in which they will take up the several branches of their future Constitution, from which it appears they mean to build it from the bottom: co-fining themselves to nothing in their ancient form but a King. A declaration of rights, which form the first chapter of their work, was then proposed by the Marquis de la Fayette—this was on the 11th.
In the mean time troops to the number of about 25 or 30,000 had arrived, and were posted in and between Paris and Versailles. The bridges and passes were guarded. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the Count de la Luzerne was sent to notify Mr. Necker of his dismissal—at midnight he set out for Brussels. This was not known till the next day (12th) when the whole ministry was changed, except Villedieu of the domestic department, and Baquetin Garde des Sceaux.
These changes were as follows: The Baron de Breteuil President of the Council of Finance, and de la Guillardiere Comptroller General, in the room of Mr. Necker—the Marshal de Broglie Minister of War, and Foulon under him in the room of Peysegar—M. de la Vauguyon Minister of Foreign Affairs, in stead of M. de Montmorin—De la Porte Minister of Marine in the place of the Count de la Luzerne—St. Priest was also removed from the Council.
The news of this change began to be known in Paris about 1 or 2 o'clock. In the afternoon a body of about 100 German cavalry were advanced and drawn up in the place Louis XV. and about 300 Swiss posted at a little distance in their rear. This drew people to that spot, who naturally formed themselves in front of the troops, at first merely to look at them; but as their numbers increased, their indignation arose: They retired a few steps, posted themselves on and behind large piles of loose stones, collected in that place for a bridge adjacent to it, and attacked the horse with stones. The horse charged, but the advantageous position of the people, and showers of stones, obliged them to retire, and even quit the field altogether, leaving one of their number on the ground. The Swiss in their rear were observed never to stir. This was a signal of universal insurrection, and this body of cavalry, to avoid being massacred, retired towards Versailles.
The people now armed themselves with such weapons as they could find in armorer's shops and private houses, and with bludgeons, and were roaming all night, through all parts of the city, without any decided and practicable object. The next day (13th) the States press on the king to send away the troops—to permit the Bourgeoisie of Paris to arm for the preservation of order in the city, and offered to send a deputation from their body to tranquilize them: He refuses all their propositions. A committee of magistrates and electors of the city are appointed, by their bodies to take upon them its government. The mob, now openly joined by the French guards, force the prisons of St. Lazare, release all the prisoners, and take a great store of corn, which they carry to the corn market: Here they get some arms, and the French guards begin to form and train them. The city committee determine to raise 48,000 bourgeois, or rather to retain their numbers to 48,000.
On the 14th they send one of their members (Mr. Corney) to the Hotel des Invalides, to ask arms for their Garde Bourgeoisie: He was followed by, or found there a great mob: The governor of the Invalides came out, and represented the impossibility of his delivering arms without the orders of those from whom he received them: De Corney advised the people then to retire, retired himself, and the people took possession of the arms. It was remarkable that not only the invalids themselves made no opposition, but that a body of 5000 foreign troops, encamped within 100 yards, never fired. M. de Corney and five others, where sent to ask arms of de Lannai, governor of the Bastille: They found a great collection of people already before the place, and they immediately planted a flag of truce, which was answered by a like flag hoisted on the parapet: The deputation prevailed on the people to fall back a little, advanced themselves to make their demands of the governor, and in that instant a discharge from the Bastille killed four people of those nearest to the capitulations: The Deputies retired & the people rushed against the place, and almost in an instant were in possession of the fortification, defended by 100 men, of infinite strength, which in other times had stood several regular sieges, and had never been taken. How they got in has as yet been impossible to discover: Those who pretend to have been of the party, tell so many different stories as to destroy the credit of them all: They took all the arms, discharged the prisoners, and such of the garrison as were not killed in the first moment of fury, carried the governor and lieutenant governor to the Greve (place of public execution) cut off their heads, and sent them through the city in triumph to the Palais Royal.
About the same instant a treacherous correspondence having been discovered in M. de Breteuil's, Prevost des Merchands, they seized him in the Hotel de Ville, where he was in the exercise of his office, and cut off his head. These events, carried imperfectly to Versailles, were the subject of two successive deputations from the States to the king. (15th) The king went about 11 o'clock, accompanied only by his brothers, to the States General and there read to them a speech, in which he asked their interposition to re-establish order—he returned to the Cateau a foot, accompanied by the States: They sent off a deputation, the Marquis de la Fayette at their head, to quiet Paris: He had the same morning been named Commander in Chief of the milice bourgeoise, and Mons. Bailly, former President of the States General, was called for as Prevost des Merchands. The demolition of the Bastille was now ordered and began: A body of the Swiss guards of the regiment of Ventimille, and the city horse guards join the people: The alarm at Versailles encreases instead of abating: The foreign troops were ordered off instantly: Every Minister resigned: The king confirmed Bailly as Prevost des Merchands, wrote to Mr. Necker to recall him, sent his letter open to the States General to be forwarded by them, and invited them to go with him to Paris the next day to satisfy the city of his dispositions. (16th) The king came to Paris. Omitting the less important figures of procession, I will only observe that the king's carriage was in the centre, on each side of it the States General, in two ranks a foot—as their head the Marquis de la Fayette, as Commander in Chief.
horseback, and bourgeoise guards before and behind. About 60,000 citizens of all forms and colours, armed with the muskets of the Bastille and Invalids, as far as they would go—the rest with pistols, swords, pikes, pruning hooks, scythes, &c lined all the streets through which the procession passed: The king landed at the Hotel de Ville—there M. Bailly presented and put into his hat the popular cockade, and addressed him, and delivered his answer to the audience. On their return the popular cries were, "VIVE LE ROY, ET L'NATION!" He was conducted by a garde bourgeoise to his palace at Versailles. Letters written with his own hand to the Marquis de la Fayette remove the scruples of his position. Tranquility is now restored to the capital: The shops are again opened: The people resuming their labours, and if the want of bread does not disturb our peace, we may hope a continuance of it.
The demolition of the Bastille is going on, and the milice bourgeoise organizing and training—The ancient police of the city is abolished by the authority of the people.—They believe still that 3000 people have fallen victims to the tumults of Paris. We cannot find with certainty that any body has been killed but the three before mentioned, and those who fell in the assault or defence of the Bastille. How many of the garrison were killed no body pretends to have heard: Of the assailants, accounts vary from 6 to 600—the most general belief is, that there fell about 30. There have been many reports of instantaneous executions by the mob, on such of their bodies as they caught in acts of theft or robbery: Some of these may perhaps be true—there was a severity of honesty observed, of which no example has been known: Bags of money offered on various occasions, through fear or guilt have been uniformly refused by the mobs. The churches are now occupied in singing "De Profundis," and "Requems" for the repose of the souls of the brave and valiant citizens who have sealed with their blood "the liberty of the nation." M. de Monmoir is this day (19th) replaced in the department of Foreign affairs. M. de St. Priest is named to the Home Department. (21st) M. Necker had left Brussels for Frankfort before the Courier got there—We expect, however, to hear of him in a day or two. M. le Compte de la Luzerne has resumed the department of Marine this day.
(23rd) The spirit of tumult seemed to have subsided, when yesterday it was excited again by a particular incident: M. Foulon, one of the obnoxious ministry, who as well as his brethren had absconded, was taken in the country, as is said, by his own tenants, and brought to Paris. Great efforts were exerted by popular characters to save him: He was at length forced out of the hands of the garde bourgeoise, hung immediately, his head cut off, and his body drawn through the principal streets of the city. The Intendant of Paris, M. de Chauvigny, accused of having entered into the designs of the same ministry, has been taken at Compiegne, and a body of 200 men on horseback are gone for him.
I just now learn that Bertier des Chauvigny, was brought to town in the night, and massacred immediately."
