PROCLAMATION.
AVING Reason to believe, that there are
a many Perlons residing among the Rebels, as
^&™^ also Numbers serving in the Rebel Army
a"''Militia, w h° are with-held from joining
Y# H $ their Countrymen arid Friends, now serving
l' s Majesty in the different Provincial Regi
ments, from an Apprehension, that they
must not only Inlift for Life, but perhaps not be allowed to
make Choice of the Provincial Regiment, to which particular
Connexions may naturally incline them:
[think proper to give Notice to all Persons who shall en
gageto serve His Majesty for three Years, or during the Rebel
bon, in any Provincial Regiment they may make Choice of,
within ninety Days from the Date hereof, that they shall re
vive 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.

A PROCLAMATION.
. a) Nt HEREAS the Enemy are in the gr^ateft Want
°' a " Sorts of Supplies for their Army,
which cannot be procured but with in
finite Difficulty, except from this Town ;
and as it is the' indispensable Duty of every
F . ri ^ nd to the British Government, to use
his utmost Endeavours to prevent their re
ceiving such essential Assistance, I DO THEREFORE call
upon all His Majesty's Subjects refideht here, to exert them
selves for that Purpole.
AND WHEREAS I have Reason to fufped, that divers
Persons in this Town, as well as in other Parts of the Pro
vince, seduced from their Allegiance through Avarice, or
abated by baser Motives, have secretly supplied the Rebels,
with Arms, Ammunition, Warlike-Stores, Salt, Medicines,
Boots, and every article of Saddlery: I DO GIVE NOTICE,
That all Persons detected in such criminal Practices, or furnifh
bg the Enemy with any Kind of Supplies whatever, will most
assuredly be punished as Traitors to their King and Country.
AND, for the more effectual Suppression 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,
fothat they may be convicted, and made Examples of Public
Justice
GIVEN under my Hand at Charlestown, this Tenth
Dav of September, 1781, and in the Twenty-frJl Year
of His Majejiy's Reign.

WHEREAS notwithstanding a former Order, dated 12th
April, 1781, directing all persons whatever to deliver
^ the Ordnance-Store, all Gunpowder and every other
nicies of Ammunition in their Possession ; yet there is great
^on to believe, that Quantities of Powder have been re

tt k)ns who have made a very improper Use of it, to the great
'cement of his Majesty's Service :
, s now ex pressly ordered, that the Owners or Makers of

Proper Receipts given : Every fnftance of Negleft,

inflexibly persist in an unnatural Rebellion against His Ma-
; efty's most auspicious Government, under which they enjoy
ed the highest degree of civil and political Liberty, have, both
before and since the said Proclamation, made and executed,
or will make and execute, Deeds, Conveyances and Assurances
of their Estates, for the purpose of defrauding their honest
Creditors/ as well as to elude those Forfeitures which the Jus

FORE, by this my Proclamation, ftri&ly enjoin and Require
all Persons to whom any Deed, Conveyance or Assurance of
Lands, Houses, Negroes, or other Species of Property, hath
been made and executed, since the firfl: day of January, in the

Oath before the said Register or Secretary refpeftively, or some I
lawful Magiftfate; that to the best of his, her and their Know- .
ledge and Belief, such Deed, Conveyance or Assurance was
made for a valuable Consideration, bohafide due, and not to
elude the Payment of any just Debt, or to prevent any legal ,
Forfeiture : On Failure whereof, all such Lands, Houses, Ne
groes and other Property, thereby granted, bargained, fold, j
assigned, transferred and made over, on Proof of such Deed,l
Conveyance or Assurance, shall immediately be Seized and fe-;
queftered; PROVIDED nevertheless, that if a Compliance
with this Proclamation Should be rendered impracticable in
any Case, by intervening Accidents, the Party affected shall
have Liberty to apply to the Court of Police, which will grant
a longer Time for the Production, Proof and Registry of such
Deed, Conveyance or Assurance, if, on considering the Nature
and Merits, of the Application, they Shall think the fame rea
sonable. AND for the more effectual Prevention of the
Frauds above alluded to, ail Persons, who are or Shall be
Parties, Privies or Witnesses to any Deed, Conveyance or
Assurance, whereby any Species of Property is, are or Shall
be granted, conveyed or assigned, either abfolutelv, or under
