Our brothers of the United States will no doubt have heard with with gladness, the new revolution, which overthrew that last obstacle of our liberty. this revolution was necessary..." with much more.

Background: Printed in Philadelphia—then the capital of the young United States—by John Dunlap, the printer of the Declaration of Independence, this February 25, 1793 issue of Dunlap's American Daily Advertiser captures the precise historical moment news of the French Revolution's climax reached American shores. Running from the front page through page four, its dominant report details the trial of Louis XVI—who had been executed by guillotine just five weeks earlier on January 21, 1793—offering citizens a front-row account of the fall of the French monarchy. Complementing this, page three features an official diplomatic communication from the newly declared French Republic to President George Washington, celebrating their shared republican principles while justifying the overthrow of the crown as a necessary revolution for liberty. The issue serves as a primary source documenting the ideological bond and immediate diplomatic strain between the two infant republics, published just two months before Washington would issue his landmark Proclamation of Neutrality.
