Welch Fuzileers, Commandant of Charteftown, &r. &c. &c.
A PROCLAMATION.
« HEREAS the Enemy are in the greatest Want
of all Sorts of Supplies for their Army,
& which cannot be .procured but with in-
IX finite Difficulty, except from this Town ;
and as it: is the ‘ indispensable Duty of every
S?&<,tl Friend to the British Government, to use
' ' '; his utmost Endeavours to prevent their re
ceiv'nv such efrential Adiftance, I DQ THEREFORE call
v n ail His Majesty's Subjects Tefident here, to exert them
fehfor that Purpole.
uN. WHEREAS I have Reason to firfped, that divers
Persons in this Town, as well as in other Parts of the Pro-
Vince, seduced from their Allegiance through Avarice, or
acr ated by baler Motives, have secretly supplied the Rebels
with Arms, Ammunition, Warlike-Stores, Salt, Medicines,
Boots, and every article of Saddlery: I DO GIVE NOTICE,
That *1! Persons detected in such criminal Practices, or furnifh.
in; the Enemy with any Kind of Supplies whatever, will most
alferedlv be punished as Traitors to their King and Country.
AND, for the more effectual Sunpreflion of an Evil so pre
judicial to His Majesty's Service, I DO HEREBY offer a Re
ward of FIFE HUNDRED GUINEAS to any Person or Per
sons who will give Information of such atrocious Offenders,
so that they may be convifted, and made Examples of Public
Justice
GIVEN under my Hand at Charlestown, this Tenth
Day ^September, 1781, and in the Twenty-firJl Tear
of His Mqjefly's Reign.
NISBET BALFOUR.

Being empowered by the Commandant to purchase a few
HORSES for the Cavalry,
Any of the Inhabitants who may be possessed of Horses that
wili answer that Purpose, and will oblige the Service by part
ing with thefn, will apply to me at No. 29, Broad-street, or
at the Town- Major's. JOHN COFFIN, Major,
Commanding a Detachment of Dragoons,
• Notice is hereby given,
THAT as the several persons employed in making FIRE
BUCKETS could not compleat the number wanted by
the firft day of October, the time is prolonged to the firft of
November ; after which period no excuse will be taken.

Bth September, 1781.
IT^HEREAS notwithstanding a former Order, dated 12th
Vv April, 1781, directing all persons whatever to deliver
in to the Ordnance-Store, all Gunpowder and every other
Species of Ammunition in their Possession ; yet there is great
reason to believe, that Quantities of Powder have been re
tained on board different Ships in this Harbour, and fold to
Persons who have made a very improper Use of it, to the great
Detriment of his Majesty's Service :
It is now expressly 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
faithful Return at tire Ordnance-Office, of the Quantity of
Powder or an, other Species of Ammunition they may have
on board their Vessels, that the fame may be taken into Cus
tody and proper Receipts given: Every Instance of Neglect,
or Disobedience of this Order will be punished with the SEI
ZURE and FORFEITURE of the Vessel and Cargo for his
Majesty's Use; and any Person who will give information shall
receive a Reward of FIVE HUNDRED GUINEAS upon the
Vessel and Cargo being condemned.
C. FRASER, Town-Major.
Charleftown, September 25, 178*.
I AM directed by the Commandant to give public notice
to the inhabitants of'Charleftown, that such of them as
may have any complaints to make relative to the billets on
thefr houses, do attend at the State-House, where a Board of
Field Officers will hear and redress their grievances every
Monday and Friday. JAMES FRASER,
I Acting Barrack-Matter.

Sir HENRY CLINTON, K. B.
General and Commander in Chief of all His Majefy's Forces
ewithin the Colonies lying on the Atlantic Ocean, from Nova-
Scotia to Weft-Florida, inclusive, ^c.^c.&c.
PROCLAMATION.
AVING Reason to believe, that there are
F many Persons residing among the Rebels, as
rf^CTW also Numbers serving in the Rebel Army
and Militia, who are withheld from joining
w " their Countrymen and Friends, now serving
His Ma^efty in the different Provincial Regi
'merits, from an Appi ehenfion, that they
must not only Inlift for Life, but perhaps not be allowed to
make Choice of the Provincial Regiment, to which particular
Connections may naturally incline them:
I think proper to give Notice to all Persons who shall en
gage to serve His Majesty for three Years, or during the Rebel
lion, in any Provincial Regiment they may make Choice of,
within ninety Days from the Pate hereof, that they shall re
ceive on their Inliftment, the Sum of SIX GUINEAS ; and at
the Time of their Discharge, they shall be entitled to the
Grant of Land His Majesty has been graciously pleased to pro
mise to the Soldiers of the Provincial Regiments.
G IFF N under my Hand, at Head-Quarters, in
New-York, the twentieth Day of Augufa 1781.
