account thereof. The right owner, who left the horse
with me, lives in Carlille, named John Patterson, a na
tive of Ireland, who cannot speak German ; and there
has no enquiry been made about the horse, until about
a week before the above falfe advertisement appeared in
the paper, when there came a man to me, named Sharp,
from Carlifle, and enquired about the horse, who told
me he had been in the fame brigade with the right
owner of the horse when he left him with me, and tcld
Mr. Kuechlein every circumftanee thereof, in my pre
sence, and I have sent word to the owner, but he being
in the Continental service, has not y<t come for his

TH E Office of the American Army beg
leave to inform their friends and correspondents,
that the postage of all letters ta'and frem the Army is
doubled; but as their pay is fully adequate to every
expence, they therefore request them to lend all letters
by the public post, and not, through any economical cuiem,
by a private conveyance.
Tis a pity that the Honorable Congress did not tre
ble the postage for Officers letters, as a large annual
sum by this means would be put into the public Tiea
fury.

Philadelphia, June 16.
WHEREAS the frequent desertions from this
city, an I quantity of c oaths fold by the soldiers,
gives great room to suppose the former are aided and
assisted by ill difpbfed persons, and the latter encou
raged °y ignorant persons purchafirig soldiers cloaths,
arms, &c. I therefore think it requisite to inform all
persons, that b, an ad of the General Assembly of this
State,
Every Conftablp is authorifed and <hre&ed to search
every fufpe&ed place for defertera, and bring before a
Judice of the P^ace every suspicious person, whom the
Justice is to commit if he fees any reasonable cause; and
as a recompense for the trouble, every Corftable appre
hending a delertef, or the Goaler or Sheriff for him, is
to receive from the / fficer to whom he is delivered up,
Three Dollars, over and above the Continental bounty
of Ten Dollars :
Every person harbouring, fix hours by day or twelve
by night, any deserter, is to pay the sum of Five Pounds:
Every person buying any arms, ; capt, doaths, or
other furniture or accoutrements belonging to the United
States of America, or causing the colour of such cloaths
to be changed, shall pay the value thereof, and also a
fine of Five Pounds.
Half of the above fines to go to the poor of the town
ship, and half t® the informer.
As there is great reason to believe many deserters are
received on board armed and other vliteh, all com
manders are r quested to be cautious whom they engage,
as the Law will certainly be enforced against every one
on board whose vessel a deserter is found.
Every person apprehending and bringing a deserter
from the Continental Army or Navy to me in Front
ftreet, the fourth door below the Coffee house, shall re
ceive a reward of Ten Dollars, and One Shilling for
every mile such deferter 1 shall be brought from the place
where taken. LEWIS NICOLA, Town- Major.
