W^ EREAS the Board have received
information from Colonel Biand, commanding
at the Convention Barracks, near Charlotteville in Vir
ginia, that considerable defections have taken place
among the troops of the Convention, many of whom
leave the poll with an intent to rejoin the enemy: All
officers in the service of the United States, are therefore
directed to be vigilant in detr&ing and apprehending de
letters from thole troops. The civil officers in the respec
tive States where such deserters may be found, are earned-
Jy requ fled to give their assistance in securing them; and
the well affected inhabitants will do essential service to
their country, by taxing into custody ail British defer,ters
travelling from the southward, and delivering them to
the next Commissary of Prisoners, or committing them
to the n,eareft gaol. A practice of administering the
State oath of allegiance to deserters from the convention
treops, and then supplying them with passes, has here
tofore been too prevalent, and productive of very perni
cious confluences, by affording them a fafe and easy
method of escaping to places in the possession of the Bri
tish army. Thole magistrates and otl er officers of jus
tice, who have been induced to receive such oaths, and
grant passes in consequence thereof, are earneftiy called
upon to difeontinue a practice so injurious to the States :
And as those paffe# haye been obtained merely with
' ac ™ ta " their escape to the enemy, the soldiers
possessed of them are notwithstanding to be secured, and
treated as deserters. They are generally clad in (hort
coarse linen coats or coatees, and linen overalls ; and
carry their regimental coats in knapsacks.
The troops under the convention of Saratoga consist
or the 9th, 20th, 21st, 24th, 47th and<6id regiments, a
detachment of the 33d regiment, Lord Balcarrifs's corps,
and royal artilkr,, British ; and of the Brunswick dra
goons, regiments of Rridefel, Barner, Rhetz, Specht,
Hesse Hanau, Hessian artillery and battalion of grena
diers, German. Ihe regiments and corps are particu
larized, as the numbers and devices on the buttons of
many of their uniforms may tend to difeover the defers
tion of the owners.
