ing which, I have reason to believe that many of those who
inflexibly persist in an unnatural Rebellion against His Ma

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 Afl'urances
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, Frilly enjoin and require
all Persons to whum any Deed, Conveyance or Assurance of
Lards, Houses, Negroes, or other Species of Property, hath

elude the Payment of any just Debt, or to prevent any legal
Forfeiture : On Failure whereof, all such Lands, Hoofer, Ne
groes and other Property, thereby granted, bargained, f'N,
aligned, transferred and made over, on Proof of such Dted,

^s^^tf„ also Numbers serving in the Rebel Army
4J " n d Militia, who are with-held from joining

mud 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, ip any Provincial Regiment they may make Choice of,
within ninety Days from the Date hereof, that they shall re
ceive on their luliftment the Sum of SIX GUINEAS ; and at
the Time of their Difchargc, they shall be entitled to the

berty, or grant powers to others for so doing, to let or lease
any House within this Town, without a fpccial Licence for so
doing, as it is intended to take all such Houses as may be want
ed for the Public Service, paying to the owners of those se
cured by the capitulation, a reasonable Rent for the fame ; as by
this means Government will be enabled to reinflate its firm
Friends in possession of their own houses, within a short space

Charleftown. On the premises are an elegant dwelling-house, %
kitchen and liable, uniform, the stables after the English taste for ten
horses, overseer's house, negro-houfes, barn and other out keufes,
requisite for a well fettled plantation.
1 he wood land abounds with oak and hickory, also a great quan
tity of live oak near and about the dwelling-house, and by a late
improvement of an extensive garden after a tally manner, may, with
attention be as profitable as it is pleasing.
The meadows between the river (on which is a good landing) and
the house, yield besides feeding a flock of cattle and horses, a large
quantity of hay.
The provision land is as good if not preferable to some land there
abouts, and yields for what has been planted this season exceeding
great, as may at present be seen. Attendance will be given on those
who please to view the premises; and any person inclinable to treat
by private contrast, may be informed of terms and price, by ap.
plying to JACOB VALK.

which being well known, a purchaser may be allured of ob
taining a proper possession at a peace; and though the owner is well
convinced of the unseasonable time to offer them, yet is so circum
stanced, for the want of obtaining payments from sequestered estates
and others in the country out of reach, that rather than not fulfil his
engagements, he will facrifice his interests, and fell them for calh or
bills on London, to the highest bidder, let the price be what it will.
