P ROCI A MATI ON.
' +-a AVTNG Reason to believe, that there are
^3 many Perfnn^ refid ; ng among the Rebels, as
wf^^rfy, also Numbers serving in the Rebel Army
and Militia, who are with-held from joining
their Countrymen and Friends, now serving
$ **\<,''Q His MaieOy in the different Provincial Regi
. ments, from an Anmehenfiort, that they
muff not only Tnlirt for life, but nerhaps not be allowed to
make Choice of the Provincial Regiment, to which particular
Connexions may naturally incline them:
I think proper to rive Notice to all Persons who shall en
gage to serve His ALvefty for + hree Years, or during the Rebel
lion, in any Provincial liegiment they may make Choice of,
within ninety Days from the Date hereof, that they shall le
ceive on their Tntiftment the Sum of SIX GUINEAS ; and at
the Time of their Discharge, they shall be entitled to the
Grant of Land His MFeftv has been grac'onny pleased to pro
mise to the Soldiers of the Provincial Regiments.

Detriment of his Majesty's Service :
It is now exprefly ordered, that the Owners or Masters of
every Vessel which at present is, or may from the Date hereof
come into this Harbour, do immediately, or in the Space of
fix Hours after they come to an Anchor, make a true and
frthful Return at the Ordnance-Office, of the Quantity of
Powder or any other Species of Ammunition they may have
cn board their Vessels, that the fame may be taken into Cus
tody and proper Receipts given: Every Instance of NegleX,
or Disobedience of this Order will be punished with the SEI
ZURE and FORFEITURE of the Vessel and Cargo for his
Maiefty's Use; and any Person who will give information shall
receive a Reward of FIVE HUNDRED GUINEAS upon the
