Over a full column of the front page is taken up with: "A Proclamation" signed by the President: Th. Jefferson.
It relates to the ongoing troubles in Europe and America's situation & specifies that: "...all armed vessels bearing commissions under the government of Great Britain, now within the harbours or waters of the United States, immediately & without any delay to depart from the same..." with much more.
Four pages, nice condition.
