WHEREAS the Board have received
informationfrom Colonel Bi nd, commanding
at the Convention Barracks, near Chlrlotteville in Vir
ginia, that considerable desertions have taken place
among the troops of the Convention, man^ of whom
leave the pod with an intent to rejoin the enemy: All
officers in the service of the United States, are therefore
directed to be vigilant in det &ing and apprehending de
serters from those tr>o,s. 1 he civil officers in the respec
tive States where such defenders may be round, are earnest-
Jy requ. fled to give their affiftanee in securing them ; and
tne wed affe&ed inhabitants will do essential service to
themcountry, by taking into custody all British deserters
travelling from the fonthvard, and delivering them to
the next CommifEry of Prisoners, or committing them
to the nearest gaol. A practice of administering the
State oath of allegiance to deferteis from the convention
troops, and then supplying them with passes, has here
tofore been too prevalent, and produ&ive of very perni
cious confluences by affording them a fafe and easy
method of escaping to places in the poffi ffinn of the Bri
tish army. Those magistrates and ot! er officers of jus
tice, who have been induced to receive such oaths, and
grant pafles in consequence thereof, are earnest y celled
upon to difeontinue a praa?ce so injurious to the States :
And as those paffc, have been obtained merely with a
°'r ,° ' ac "" a ' e their escape to the enemy, the foldjers
poffi dos them are notwithftandirg to be teemed, and
treated as deserters. They are generally clad m short
coarse linen coats or coatees, and linen overalls ; and
carry their regimental coats in knapsacks.
rhe t oops under the convention of Saratoga consist
0 the 9th, 2oth, 21st, 24th, 47 h and,6zd regiments, a
