Most of the ftpg. is taken up with: "A Proclamation" by the President, signed in type: James Madison, for a "...day of Public Humiliation and Prayer...and the eyes of all be turned to that Almighty Power in whose hand are the welfare and the destiny of nations..." regarding the struggles of the War of 1812. Over half of page 2 is taken up with a lengthy list of impressed seaman aboard the British prison ship San Antonio.
