tI'PROCIJAMATION FOR A GENERAL FAST.

(Prom the London Gazette, March 12}
VICTORIA R.—We, taking into our most serious con-
sideration the heavy judgments with which Almighty God
is pleased to visit the iniquities of this land, by a grievous
scarcity and dearth of divers articles of sustenance and
necessaries of life ; and, trusting in the mercy of Almighty
God, that, notwithstanding the sore punishment which
He bath laid upon us, and upon our people, He will, if
we turn to him in due contrition and penitence of heart,
withdraw His-afflicting hand ; have, therefore, resolved,
and do, by and with the advice of our Privy Council,
hereby command, that a public fast and humiliation be
observed throughout those parts of our United Kingdom
called England and Ireland, on Wednesday, the 24th day
March instant, that so both we and our people may hum-
ble ourselves before Almighty God, in order to obtain
pardon of our sins, and may, in the most devout and so-

iemn manner, send up our prayers and supplications to
the Divine Majesty for the removal of those heavy judg-
ments which our manifold sins and provocations have
most justly deserved, and under which we at this present
time labour and we do strictly charge and command,
that the said public fast be reverently and devoutly ob-
served by all our loving subjects in England and Ireland,
as they tender the favour of Almighty God, and would
avoid His wrath and indignation, and upon pain of such
punishment as may be justly inflicted on all such as con-
temn and neglect the performance of so religious and ne-
cessary a duty. And, for the better and more orderly
solemnizing of the same, we have given directions to the
Most Reverend the Archbishops and the Right Reverend
the Bishops of England and Ireland to compose a Form
of Prayer, suitable to this occasion, to be used in all
churches, chapels, and places of public worship, and to
take care the same be timely dispersed through their re-
spective dioceses.
Given at our Court, at Osborne-house, Isle of Wight,
this 9th day of March, in the year of our Lord 1847,
and in the 10th year of our of our reign.
GOD SAVE THE QUEEN.
