public service, as well as to the interests and feelings of
their brother soldiers, who may, in consequence of the
long absence of such delinquents, be unavoidably de
bared the gratification of visiting their friends before
the opening of the campaign.
The general, however, cannot but hope, by taking
the precaution of caufingthis public notice of his in
tention to be given to the army, the disagreeable con
sequences will be prevented, which might otherwise have
taken place ; for he is persuaded, whoever willgive him
felf the trouble to refied, will find, that, as great in
dulgences as are confident with the public good, and
justice to individuals, are granted in the firft instance.
That, as a certain number of officers and men must be
conflantly kept in camp, every trespass upon those in
dulgences, is an aft of injustice to the individual who
is detained in consequence of it, and probably in the
issue to the public ; that the mod pointed exadnefs is
Indifpenfibly requisite in all military affairs, events un
known, and frequently of the greater magnitude, de
pending upon it ; and that those men who have attach
ed themselves to the service of their country, should
confider that the public has a constant claim upon their
services, which can only be dispensed with under cer
tain circumstances, and for definite periods, of which,
those intruded with the regulation of the army must
be supposed to be the most competent judges.
No officer or soldier is to be permitted to be'abfent
on furlough after the 10th day of April next, on a
ny occasion whatever.
The muflers of the army are with all possible expe
dition, to be com pleated to the thirty firft day of
December last inclusive ; after which period they are
to be taken regularly at the end of every month, and
te rolls transmitted to the pay office without delay,
agreeable to a resolution of Congress, of September
25, 1780. EDWARD HAND, Brigadier
and Adjutant General.

ORDER S.
AS it is expected, that in the course of the present
winter, many of the officers and men belonging
to the army of the United Sates, will be indulged with
leave of absence from their corps for a limited time ;
and as itis absolutely necessary the ftrißeft punctuality
Should be observed, in returning ^t the expiration of the
time for which their furloughs are granted; the com
mander in chief has thought proper, taus, early in the
season, to fignify his fixed determination toall concern
ed, that every officer or soldier, who shall absent him
felf beyond the limitation of his furlough (unless he
shall be prevented from returning by some inevitable
misfortune, or other casualty, which shall be deemed
a Sufficient reason for his detention) shall for such con
duct be brought to trial before a court-martial.
Upon the return of any officer, who may have vio
lated this order, by absenting himfelf beyond the time
of his furlough,report is immediately to be made there
of, to the adjutant general or deputy adjutant general,
who is to represent the fame to the general or com
manding officer, that the necessary fleps may be tak
en, without delay. The mode of proceeding against
absent officers, as pointed out by a resolution of Con
gress, is to be invariably pursued. Soldiers are abo
to be tried and punished in the mos lfummary manner,
if they will be guilty of a crime so injurious to the
Head Quarters, Philadelphia, Thursday, January io,
