A PROCLAMATION,
c.a \- H E duty I own to my station, to humanity,
A an d the welfare of this Province, will not
permit me to view in silence, the delulion
Twhich has lately most astonishingly prevad
ed, ar? d carried numbers to join thole de
predatory parties, which an extent of pot
feffion naturally invites, and sometimes pre
cludes the punishment of.—But let such for a moment difpdf
fionately confider the consequences to fubyert the prelent
government is their with, thev must know, it is n °t
done by the Incursions of Banditry or he feeble efforts o an
Army so lately defeated, a^d ret- eating from before the King s
Troops.—But thev must know, that waste of Property, di -
tress to Individuals, and a total overthrow of the true mteie
of this Country, are but the natural e'e<fts of such unavailing
attempts, which serve o^v to eftab^fh the Power they vainly
endeavour to deftrov —Nor can they be ignorant, that Tuftice,
as well as Policy mud purine, wrfh the severest punishment,
those, who, regardlef of every obligation, break all the tie o
of society, and are daily infracting the allegiance they so re
cently profeffed, and opposing the Power whose protection
their petitions have acquired. A c
Impressed with these sentiments, and the warmefl wish for
the prosperity of the Province, I call upon every '",ft
to do his utmost to restore peace and trancwlhty to this dis
tressed Country, and bv their perfon^ exertions as well as in
formation, to enable the King's r fficer° to accomp Tn this
most definable end :-AND, at the fame time ft kno^vn,
the most fixed resolution of punishing, both in their , eriong
and Properties, all those, who frail be found ,n
his Majesty's Government, after having claimed, and obtained
their Sovereign's most gracious protection.

—GARRISON ORDERS,
Chart estown, 10/b M% 1781.
TH F Commandant is sorry to find frequent complaint*
made to him by the Officers commanding his Majesty's
ships of war, that their men are decoyed, and very unhifltfi.
able means used by the recruiting parties of new corps to en
]ift, and carry them off, in violation of all orders. He there
fore now pubFckly declares, That anv officer who shall be
found giving countenance to such pradice% will be put in
arrest, and tried by a Court Martial for disobedience offen
ders : Any non commissioned officer or soldier, so o'fend ng,
will be immediately confined, and may depend on being pu
rifhed in a most exemplary manner.

GARRIS )\ ORDERS,
Charlestown, Ma, iitb, 1781.
WHEREAS, notwithstanding the Commandant's order in
Council, of the 16th of January last, several Persons
have declined taking out the Certificates therein required ;
and many persons not admitted to the rights of British Sub
jects, as well as Prisoners of War, are still remaining in this
town, and at liberty, to the great prejudice of his Majesty's
service:
And whereas, there is great reason to believe, that all
such oerfons are the inveterate Enemies of British Govern
ment and firmly determined to rejed the Royal Grace and
Prote^ion. so long held out to them in vain ;.
The Commandant therefore Directs, that all such (Con
tinental prifmers only excepted) shall, after to-morrow at
sun-set, remain as Prisoners in their refpedive houses, and,
on no account, be found out of them : And all his Maiefty's
Loyal Sub'eßs are recuired to take notice hereof, and ab
stain from any connection with persons under such predica
ment.
And the better to fulfil the intentions of 'Ms Order, all
Persons npt having received +he proper Certificates oftheir be
ing Sublets, and all Prisoners of War, a? above described,
are required to fend in to the Town-Major, on or before
Monday next, returns of their names, and refpedive places
of abode, that the fame may be made publick, for the better
enabling the several Guards and PatroTes within this Garrison,
to take up, and lodge in fafe custody, whoever may be found
offending in breach of this order: In the execution of which,
all his Majesty's Officers, civil and military, are hereby re
quired to be aiding and affixing.
