War with England? War with Florida?



Item # 693185

April 12, 1794

COLUMBIAN CENTINEL, Boston, April 12, 1794  Page 2 has a report from Georgia noting in part: "...information from the governor of East Florida that citizens of this state have accepted commissions, and are now actually recruiting men for the French republic, who are to be employed against a nation with whom the United States are at peace. Such proceedings will inevitably involve the Union in war..." with more.
This is followed by: "A RIOT!" in Charleston. Several items are concerned about the possibility of war with England, one bit noting: "...His infernal Majesty, Mr. Pitt, and Gen. Arnold--which at night were taken down and burnt...".
Four pages, never-trimmed margins, very nice condition.
