WHEN FRIDAY THE 18th WAS X PUBLIC
 FAST" IN ENGLAND.

One hundred and forty-two years ago today the thirteenth of December fell or a Friday, and 1t was Observ- ed throughout England as a day of fasting and humiliation, by order of George H., who hoped thus to ob- tain the favor of heaven in the task of queIling the rebels" of the North American colonies. The proclama- ton of the monarch is quaint and interesting document, and, in part, 1t ran as follows:
 we, taking into our most ~erious consideration the just and necessary measures of Force which We are obliged to use against Our rebellious Subjects in Our Colonies and Prov inces in North America and Putting Our Trust in Almighty God, that He will vouchsafe a special blessing on Our Arms both by Sea and Land, have resolved and do, by and with the advice of Our Privy Council, here by command. That a Publick Fast and Humiliation be observed through out that Part of Our Kingdom of Great Britain called Englahd, Our Dominion of Wales, and Town of Berwick upon Tweed, upon Friday the thirteenth Day of December next; and so both We and Our People may humble Ourselves before Almighty God, in order. to obtain Pardon for Our Sins; and may, in the most de- vout and Solemn Manner, send up Prayers and Supplications to the Di- vine Majesty, for averting those heavy Judgments which Our mani 1 fold Sins and Provocations have most | justly deserved, and for imploring ] His Intervention and Blessing speed | fly to deliver Our loyal Subjects within Our Colonies and Provinces | in North America from the Violence, | Injustice and Tyranny, of those dar- | ing Rebels who have assumed to | themselves the exercise of Arbitrary l Power; to open the Eyes of those ; who have been deluded by speCiou& 1 Falsehoods into Acts of Treason and
 Rebellion; to turn the Hearts of ths i Authors of these calamities, and l finally to restore Our People in thos distracted Provinces and Colonies tC
 the happy Condition of being free
 Subjects of a free State; under
 long and prospered so much. Ant
 We do strictly charge and commanl
 That said Publick Fast be reverently
 and devoutly observed by all Ou1
 loving Subjects in England Our Do
 ninion of Wales, and Town of Der
 wick upon Tweed, as they tende
 the Favour of Almighty God, ant
 would avoid His Wrath and Indigna
 ton; and upon pain of such Punish
 ment as We may justly inflict upol
 all such as contemn and neglect tn
 Performance of so religious a Duty.
