A page 3 report from Philadelphia notes: "The President of the United States, having summoned the headed of Departments, Chief Justice and other officers of the Government, to meet at Germantown, to advise on the most suitable place for the meeting of Congress; we understand, their decision was in favour of Philadelphia--where the President arrived, the 11th inst., to the great joy of the citizens."
Other reports include the latest on the French Revolution.
Four pages, small loss at the bottom margin, some paper weakness causes flaws in another corner, otherwise nice.
