within the Colonies lying on the Atlantic Ocean, from Nova-
Scotia to We/'l-Florida, inclufve, &c. &ft &c.
p ROCLAMATIO N.
- AVING Reason to believe, that there are
a many Persons refilling among the Rebels, as
h©^^f^ alf ° Numbers serving in the Rebel Army
and Militia, who are with-held from joining
H ¥< their Countrymen and Friends, now serving
His MajePy in the different Provincial Regi
^iT^"' ments, from an Appi ehenfion, that they
tuft 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
gageto serve Uis Majesty for three Years, or during the Rebel
hon, in any Provincial Regiment they may make Choice of,
within ninety Days from the Date hereof, that they shall re
ceive on their Inliftmen+, the Sum of SIX GUINEAS ; and at
the Time of their Difebarge, they shall be entitled to the
Graat of Land His Majefry has been graciously pleased to pro
mise to the Soldiers of the Provincial Regiments.

A PROCLAMATIO N.
. \ HEREAS the Enemy are in the greatest Want
3 of a]l f ' r ' s ° f Supplier for their Army,
&^™^ re ^ich cannot be procured but with in
finite Difficulty, except fiom this Town ;
" '^M" and as it is the indifoenfable Duty of every
tyA/^4 Friend to the Britiih Government, to use
he $./'"' his utmost Endeavours to prevent their re
ceiving such essential Assistance, I DO THEREFORE call
upon all His Majesty's Subjects resident here, to exert them
selves for that Purpole.
AND WHEREAS I have Reason to fafped, that divers
Persons in this Town, as well as in other Parts of the Pro
vince, seduced from their Allegiance through Avarice, or
actuated 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 a^ Pel funs detected in such criminal Practices, or lurmfh
ing the Enemy with any Kind of Supplies whatever, will molt
assuredly be punished as'Traitors to their King and Country.
AND, for the more effectual Suppression of an Evil so pre
judicial to His Mail'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 thgy may be convicted, and made Examples of Public
Justice
GIVEN under m. Hand at Charlestown, this Tenth
Day of September, 1781, and in the Tiventy-firJl Year
of His Majeffs Reign.

Sth September, 1781.
V[,HEREAS notwithstanding a former Order, dated 12th
Vv April, 1781, dividing all persons whatever to deliver
in to the Ordnance-Store, ail Gunpowder and every other
Species of Ammunition in their Poffeflion ; 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 Matters of
every Vettel 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 the Ordnance-Office, of the Quantity of
Powder or any other Species of Ammunition they may have
onboard their Vettels, that the fame may be taken into Cus
tody and proper Receipts given : Every inffance of Negleft,
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.

A PROCLAMATION.
By NISBET, BALFOUR, Esquire, Lieutenant - Colonel
of His Majefly's Twenty-third Regiment, or Royal Welch Fu
fleers, Commandant of Charlejiown, &fc.
& HEREAS the Right Honourable Charles
Aa Earl Cornwallis, by Proclamation, bear
"^ Date the twenty-fifth Day of July 1780,
did forbid all Persons whomsoever to fell or
difpbfe of any Lands, Houses or Negroes,
without previously obtaining a Licence so to
^'do from the Commandant of Charleftown,
on the penalty of Seizure and Sequestration: Notwithstand
ing which, I have reason to believe that many of those who
inflexibly persist in an unnatural Rebellion against His Ma
yfly'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
tice of the Law has annexed to their Crime : I DO THERE
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 firft day of January, in the
Year of our Lord 1775, or which shall be hereafter made and
executed, or their legal Representatives, to tender the fame
at the proper Offices in Charleftown, to be recorded ; that is
to fay, all such Deeds, Conveyances and Assurances of Lands
and Houses, at the Register's Office ; and all such Deeds, Con
veyances and Assurances of Negroes or other personal Property
at the Secretary's Office, within three Months from the Date
hereof, or froin the Date of such future Deed, Conveyance or
Assurance, at fartheft. And that on tendering the fame to be
recorded as above, at such Offices, the Person or Persons to
whom such Deed,Conveyance or Assurance hath been executed,
or his, her or their legal Representatives, together with one of
the fubferibing Witnefles, or in Case of Death, some Person
acquainted with his or her Character of Writing, shall make
Oath before the said Register or Secretary refpedively, or some
lawful Magistrate, that to the belt of his, her and their Know
ledge and Belief, such Deed, Conveyance or Assurance was
made for a valuable Consideration, bona jide 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,
assigned, transferred and made over, on Proof of such Deed,
Conveyance or Assurance, shall immediately be seized and se
questered: 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 Pievention of the
Frauds above alluded to, all 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 absolutely, or under
any secret or clandestine Trust, exprefTed, implieci or refult
mg from any Conffrudion or Operation of Law, for the Pur
poses aforefaid, are in like Manner RriCtly enjoined and re
quired to give Information thereof, to one or other of the In
tendants ofthe Police, within three Months from this Date, as
they will answer the contrary at their Peril, on Proof of the
Concealment of such fraudulent and criminal TranfaCtions.
GIVEN under my Hand and Seal, at Charleftown, this
Tiuenty-fecond Da, of Augufl, in the Year of our Lord
One thousand seven hundred and eighty-one, and in the
