GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES, New York, July 11, 1789 Page 2 has much on an oration delivered by the Reverend William Rogers before the Penna. State Society of the Cincinnati, and: "...Towards the close of the oration, Mr. Rogers...observed...to blazon the merits of our illustrious Washington, the admired President of these United States--Whom God long preserve! In this short petition every tongue is ready to shout Amen!..." with a bit more.
Page 3 has a: "Sketch of Proceedings of Congress" providing some interesting inside into the founding days of our national government. Page 3 also has some mention of the President, & notes that: "...thanks to kind Providence, is now restored to his usual health."
There is also an article on celebrations of the: "Anniversary of Independence". The back page includes a continued article: "An Essay on Free Trade & Finances".
Four pages, a bit of minor foxing, nice condition.

This famous newspaper was the mouthpiece of the new federal government, and almost all pronouncements from Congress & the President appeared in this newspaper first.
