ED. BAYNES, ?►dj.-Gen. N. A. BY IITS EXCELLENCY LIEUT. GF.N. SIR G. PREVOST, BART. COMMANDER Of HIS MAJESTY'S FORCES IN NORTH AMERICA, &C. &C. &C., To the Inhabitants of his Majesty's Provinces in North , America 7 A PROCLAMATION. The complete success which. has attended his Majesty's arms on the Niagara frontier, having placed in our possession the whole of the ene my's posts on that line, it becat9e a matter of imperious duty, to - retaliate on America the mi series which the anfortunate inhabitants of New ark had been made to sutler upon the evacuation of l'9rt George. The villages of Lewiston, Black Rock, and BuffalO, have accordingly been, burned. At the same time that his Excellency the Com mander of the Forces sincerely , deprecates this mode of warfare, he trusts, that it will be suffi cient to call the attention of every candid ;Ind im partial- person, both amongst ourselves and the enetpv, to the circumstances from which it has arisen, to satisfy them that this departure from the established usages of %vat. has 'originated ,with America herself, and that to her alone, are justly eh tigeable all the awful and unhappy conse quences which have hitherto flowed, and are likely. to result from it. It is not necessary to advert to the' con duct Of the • troops .employed on the Ameri can coast, in conjunction with his Majesty's squadron, under Admiral. Sir John B Warren, since, as they. were neither within the command, nOr.snbject to the controul of his Excellency, their acts cannot be ascribable to him, even if they wanted that justification which the circum stances that occasioned them so amply afford. It xvill be sufficient for the present purpose, and in order to mark the character of the war, as car ried on upon the frontiers - of these provinces, to trace the line of conduct observed by his Excel— lency, and the 'troops under his command, since the comnicncement of hostilities, and to contrast it with that of the enemy. The*firSt - invasion of Upper Canada took place in July, ISI2, when the American forces, under Brigadier-General Hull, crossed over and took possession of Sandwich, where they began to wanifest a disposition so different from that of a magnanimous enemy, and whi:•h they have since invariably displayed, in marking oujests cif their 'pecatliar resentment, the loyal subjects of his .T.`'.4ajesty, \ and in dooming their property to plunder and conflagration. .Various 'instances of this kind occurred, both at Sandwich and its neighbourhood, at the very period when his' Majesty's Stathlard vas waving upon the Fort of.llichilimackinac,, and affording Forec,tion of who h:zd .submitted ,to weck3 afterwar, -the 113ritish flag was al,(;•b4.4' ! ted tau ti) Fortress of Detroit, whi.ch, gkher tlig whole of the Michigan Territory, had sur; endered to h is A , ijeqy's arms. . 11 ad not his Excel' y been i letuated,hv senti. plents far di ff-rent from those Which had influene. ect the .41Incrican,G;vernment; and the perSons eniployed by it, in . tios 'l4r t acts of destruetioh of-private property, con:Milted during' their short occupation-of a part of Tippet - Capada, IJ;s cellency could not have failed to'have a . t;iiiled him seh ()f the opportunity whiuli the undttirbed possession of the whole of tile Miehil.* li rritory aff6tded him of amply retilliating for the ileyrl4- taking system which .had been .purSued ;it Sand wich and on the Thames. But strictly in conforniity to the views and 'disposition of his hwn Government, and to'that liberal and . magnanimons policy which it hacrdic tated, he chose rather to torbear an inotation of. the enemy's example, inthe hope s , that for heatance would he duly appreciated by the Gos. vernment of the United States, and would pro duce a return to the more civilizedosag - es of way. The perions'- and property, therefore, of the inhabitants of the Michigan territory were re , speet'ed, and remained unmolested. In the - winter of the 'following year, when the success which attended the gallant enterprize against Ogdensburgh bad placed . that popnlons' and flourishing village iu our possession, the ge nerosity of the . ritish character Was* again cop spicuoos in the scrupnlous preservation of ,every , article which could be considered as' priN''ate pro- . perty; such public buildings only heing - destroyed as were used for the accommodation of troops and for Public stores; . 11he destr,uction of the defences of Oidens. burgh, and the dispersion of the•enemy's force in that neighbourhood, laid open the whole of their frontier on the St. Lawrence to the incursions 'of his Majesty's troops, and Hamilton, tag well as the nunierous Settlements on the banks. of the River, might at any hour, had such heen the diSposition 'of. his Majesty's Government, or of (hose acting under it, been plunderad.and laid waste. . During-the course of the following Summer, by , the fortunate result of the, enterprize against Plattsbnrgh, that town was .for several boors in the,eomplete possession of our troops; there not being any force in the neighbourhood which could attempt resistance. yet even there, under cir cumstances of strong temptation, and when the recent example of the enemy, in Coe wanton de struction at York, of private' property, and buildings not used for military purposes, must have been fresh in the recollection of the forces employed on that occasions, and would have jus tified a retaliation on their part, their forbearance was strongly manifested, and the directions his Excellency Lad given_f_a the Conomuder .OL-o.ost expedition, so scrupulously obeyed,- that scarcely can another instance be shewn in which, during a state of war, and under similar cireurn , stances, an enemy, so completely under the power and at the mercy of their adversaries, bad so little cause of complaint. During the course of the -same simmer, Forts Schlosser and Black Rock, were surprised and taken by a part of the forces under the command of Major-General. De Rottenburgh on the Nia gara frontier, at both of which places personal property was respected, and the public buildings were alone destroyed. • It was certainly matter of just and reasonable expectation, that the humane. and liberal course of conduct pursued by -his Excellency on 'these different occasions, would have had its due weight with the American GoVernment, and would have led it to haveabstained; in the further pt•osectu.ion of the war, from any acts of WantonneFs or vio lence which could' only tend unnecessarily to add to its of Binary calamities, and to bring down upon their own unoffending o cifizens a retaliation, which, though distant, they must . have known would await and certainly follow such eominet. Undeterred, however, by his Excellency's ex ample of Moderation, or by any. of the come, luences to be apprehended from the adoption of such barbarous measupes, the American forces at Fort George, acting, as there is every reason to believe, under the orders, or with the approbation of their Government, for sonic tune previous to their evacuation of that fortress, nude.. various , p u r , e d te many cCst lorfOye the e lthe r farm csp : ‘cttb io l i e t anal ' peaceable inhabitants of tln neighbourhoMl. But - the full measure of this species of barbarity remained to be completed at a season when all its horrors might be Pliore fully and keenly felt by those who. were tp become the wretched victims of it.
