A PROCLAMATION. — VIRGINIA, to wit:

Whereas the General Assembly is summoned to meet on Thursday, the 11th of next month, but I find no urgent occasion for their meeting at that time, I have therefore thought fit, by this Proclamation, in his Majesty' s name, farther to prorogue the said Assembly to the first Thursday in November next.

Given under my hand, and the seal of the Colony, at Williamsburg, this 8th day of July, in the fourteenth year of his Majesty' s reign.

DUNMORE.

God save the King.
