Thursday last was observed in this city as a day of public thanksgiving, agreeably to the Proclamation of the President of the United States.—There was every where a total suspension of business, and a general resort of the inhabitants to the different churches, where divine service was performed in the forenoon, and the several ministers, with pious energy, endeavored to impress the minds of their audience with devout gratitude to the almighty ruler of nations, for his divine munificence conferred on the people of America, in triumphantly bringing them, through a severe and unequalled contest, to victory and peace—in permitting them peaceably to adopt a Constitution of government, calculated to secure civil and religious freedom—and exhorted them to a due obedience to our excellent laws, and to the precepts of christianity, as the proper foundation of national prosperity and individual happiness.
