GARRISON ORDERS,
Bth September, 1781.
WHEREAS notwithstanding a former Order, dated 12th
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 Mailers 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 the Ordnance-Office, of the Quantity of
Powder or any 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 Negleft,
or Disobedience of this Order will be punched with the SEI
ZURE and FORFEITURE of the Vessel and Cargo for his
;Majefty's Use; and any Person who will give information shall
receive a Reward of FIVE HUNDRED GUINEAS upon the
Vessel and Cargo being condemned.<

Scotia to We/l-Florida, inclufwe, &c. &c. &c.
PROCLAMATION.
AVINC Reason to believe, that there are
% ^ many Persons refilling among the Rebels, as
^^^''M' a ''° Numbers fervihg in the Rebel Army
^y'?'' J and Militia, who are with-held from joining
0 h ';„ their Countrymen and Friends, now serving
His Mayfly in the different Provincial Regi
'" ^ ff'°™ merits, 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
Connections may naturally incline them :
Ithink proper to give Notice to all Persons who shall en
gaceto serve His Maiefty for three Years, or during the Rebel
lion, in any Provincial Regiment they may mAke Choice of,
within ninety Days from toe Date hereof, that they shall re
ceive on their Inliftment the Sum of SIX GUINEAS ; apci at
the Time of their DUcharge, they shall be entitled to the
Grant of Land His M/fehy has been graciously pleased to pro
life to the Soldiers of the Provincial Regiments.

upon all His Majesty's Subjects resident here, to exert them

AND WHEREAS I have Reason to firfpedl, that divers

with Arms, Ammunition, Wiriike-Stovs, Salt, Medicines,
