in reducing this once happy Country to its present deplorable
State of Misery and Confufion ;
AND WHEREAS a Number of well-affefted Persons,
partly through Dread of the Cruelty of their Enemies, and

State of Publick Affairs, have been induced to embrace a Cause
which must inevitably bring them to Ruin:
IN ORDER THEREFORE to prevent ethers from falling
into the fame unhappy Errors, and to quiet the ill-grounded
Apprehensions of feme well-meaning People; I do issue this

in this Province, that they may rely on speedy and effectual
Support being given to them, by the Exertions of the Forces
under my Command; and that, in every Event and Situation,
tbtir Interests and Security shall be considered as inseparably
connected with those of His Majesty's Troops.

having solicited for, and obtained the Enjoyment of the Pri
vileges of a British Subject, shall, in Violation of every Prin
ciple of Honour and good Faith, again take up Arms against
His Majesty's Government, or shall serve in any civil Capacity
under a second Usurpation.

LEAVING certain information that numbers of Negroes,
IA the property of the enemy in general, and of the sequestered
egates in particular, arc held in this town by people who have no
right or authority to detain them, as well as others the fame pro
perty, who, under various pretences, go about uncontroulled, to the
dihrefs of the inhabitants, the detriment of Government, and in
dirc& violation of orders that have been repeatedly issued to prevent
such practices: IN ORDER THEREFORE to put an effectual Hop
to such abuses, I HAVE, by virtue of the powers in me vested, for
the seizure of the property .of the enemy, appointed Mr. James
Gordon to receive returns of all such negroes, which are directed to
be mqde to him, at his office at No. ri, Tradd-ftreet, on or before
the 31st day of this present month December; and the said James
Gordon is empowered by me to hire out all such negroes as shall
not be employed in the different publick departments; and all ne
groes who are hired out, or have leave to work out, under passes
from me, are directed to pay up the arrears due from their wages at
said office, and receive new passes, or be otherwise disposed of before
the said 31st instant, on failure or neglect of which, they will be
considered as vagrants,' and confined.—Any person or persons em
ploying or harbouring such negroes, without such renewed passes
Under the hand of said Mr. James Gordon after the above date,
(those employed in the King's service always excepted) will be con
sidered as designedly concealing sequestered property, and punished
accordingly : And that noyerfon nifty plead ignorance, I have di
rected this advertisement to be inserted in all the Gazettes fix dif
ferent times.
