HISTORY OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
In a vigorous memorial against the proposed change of this old "denomination," some members of it set forth their objections to the alteration of the name of the Church of their fathers. Their objections baffled, for a time, the synodical machinations of those who wished to destroy the idex- tity of their ancient body. Its name was first officially given in the memorial which Domine Selyns, of New York, and his Consistory, offered to Governor Dongan in 1688. It was confirmed by a charter which Governor Fletcher granted to the metropolitan corporation in 1036, under the title of "The Minister, Elders, and Deacons of the Reformed Protestant Dutch Church In New York." This is the oldest religious corporation in our country. It still retains its honorable his- torical name. Yet, under foolish guidance, its superior ecclesiastical authority, in the fell light of day, rejected the words "Dutch" and "Protestant" from the title of an act by which the Legisla- ture of the State of New York, in 1819, authorized " The General Synod of the Reformed Protestant Dutch Church" in North America to hold estate.
The memorial to the Legislature of New York, referred to above, presented in its session of 1-4%. stated the history of the Dutch Church in this country, and showed, among other things, that the resolution of the Synod to change its corporate name to that of "The Reformed Church in Ames- ica" was the impudent appropriation of an ecclesiastical designation which might rightfully be shared by those " Reformed" Churches which French and German Protestants planted here, after the Dutch established theirs. This memorial was met by scurrility from some who called them- selves "Christian." Nevertheless, the Legislature would not sanction the proposed synodical change of name in 1868. But, as a preponderating majority of Dutch Churchmen chose to follow those leaders who insisted on the change, controversy was abandoned, and the Legislature, in 1869, passed the desired law.

BY HIS EXCELLENCY
A
PROCLAMATION.
HEREAS His MAJESTY hath been graciously pleased, by His Royal Letter, Fearing Psie the sixteenth day of October last past, to signifie that he hath received andesired Vie. " that a great and sudden Invasion from Holland, with an armed Force of Foreigners and SWJeg.It

will speedily be made'in an hostile manner upon His Majesty's Kingdom of ENGLAND; and that altho' some file pretendes relating to LaVita, Property, and Ratingsina, (contrived or worded with Art and Subtilty) thay be given out, (as shall be thought useful upon such an Attempt ;) It is manifest however, (considering the great Preparations that are making) That no less matter by this Invasion is proposed and pary well, than an absolute Conquest of His Majesty's Kingdoms, and the utter Sub- luing and Subjecting His Majesty and all His People to a Forreign Power, which is promoted (as His Majesty understand-) altho' it may seem almost incredible) by some of His Majesty's Subjects, being persons of wicked and restless Spirits, implacable Malice, and desperate Designs, who having no sence of former intestine Distractions, (the Memory and Misery whereet should endear and pur a Value npo that Peice and Happiness which hath long been enjoyed) nor being moved by It's Majesty's reiterated Acts of Grace and Morey, (wherein His M !: jesty hath studied and delighted to aboand towards all His Subjects, and even towards those who were once His Majesty's avowed and open En mit) Co again endeavour to embroil His Majesty's Kingdom in Blood and Ruin, to gratise their own Ambition and Malice, proposing to themselves a Prey and Booty in such a publick Confusion :
And that although IT - Min-ty hod Notice that a forreign Force was preparing against Him, yet His Majesty hath atwales derfind any forreiga Succour, but rather hath chosen (next under GOD) to rely upon the true and ancient Courage, Faith and Allegiance of His own People, with whom His Mobesty Lach often y sterol His Life for the Honour of His Nation, and in whose De- fence against all b. : i frn.ly resolved to live and dye ; and therefore does sol- cmonly Conjure Hi: . El schner of Auanosisics, Jealousies, & Prejudices, and heartily & chearfally to thite theder in the Defence of His MAJESTY and their native Countrey, which thing alone, fish tauler Geely great and frustrate the principal Hope and Design of His Majesty's Eramies, who expect to find His People divided ; and by publishing (perhaps) some plausible Reasons of their Comth , as tie spe tous (tho' felse) Pretences of Maintaining the Prot- estant Religion. or Asserting the Libertie- and Properties of His Majesty's People, do hope there- by to conquer that great and renowned Kingdom.
That albeit the Design bath b en castr L'on with all hnaginable Secreste & Endeavours to sur- prise and deceive His MAJESTY, HE lin not been wanting ou His part to make such provision as did become Him, and, by GOD ert at Mes-ing, His Majesty makes no doubt of being found in so good a Posture that His Eramies miny hive canse to repent such their rash and unjust Attempt. ALL WHICH, it is Is Majesty's ;de. . tre, should be made known in the most publick manner to His loving Subjects within this Hlis Ten Rory and Dominion of NEW-ENGLAND, that they may be the better prepared to resist any Attorepts that may be made by His Majesties Enemies in these parts, and secured in their tra br and Commerce with His Majesty's Kingdom of England.
I Do therefore, in pursantos of His MAJESTY: Commands, by these Presents make known and Publish the -ame : words dy : And hereby Charge and Command all Officers Civil & Military, and all other His Majesty's loving Subjects within this His Territory and Dominion aforesaid, to be Vanikony at I feel in their respective places and stations, and that, upon the Approach of any Fleet or Formed'n Force, they be in Readiness, and use their utmost Endeavour to hinder any i Hope ihr " tiny be intended to be made within the same.
