MR BRADFORD,
IN order to undeceive the belligerents of Europe, with respect to the present temper of the people of America, the following proclamation, or a similar one is recommended by a
CORRESPONDENT.
TO those whom it may concern.
Be it known, that we the people of the United States of America, confiding in our government, and believing it to be the best that now is, or perhaps ever has been in the world, pledge ourselves to support it with our lives and fortunes, notwithstanding the inconsiderable privations produced by the Embargo, a measure which as being the act of the government forced upon it by injustice and hostility, we heartily approve, and which we will unitedly support as long as the "Decrees" and "Orders of Council" of other nations shall render it necessary.
