Forces within the Colonies lying on the Atlantic Ocean

PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS there are several Deserters from the
British and Foreign Troops under my Command,
who are serving with the Enemy, or are concealed in the
Rebel Country : I have thought fit toiffue this my Pro
clamation, offering a free and unlimited Pardon to all
such Deserters, who shall surrender themselves to any of
his Majesty's Troops before the firft Day of June next.
And whereas there are many of his Majesty's European
Subjects at this Time serving in the Rebel Army against
their King and Country, who, stung with Remorse, and
sensible of the Heinousness of such an unnatural Pro
ceeding, would be anxious to return to their, Allegiance,
did not their Demerits, before the ; r Arrival in America,
make them doubtful of meeting with Protection and
Support within these Lines. Ido therefore hereby pro
mise to al^ such who shall come in before the above men
tioned firft Day of June 1781, in addition to the Benefits,
Protection and Support, to which they would be entituled
under any other Proclamations, to procure for them his
Majesty's most gracious Pardon, for all Felonies and Trea
sons (Murder excepted) which they have heretofore been
guilty of, provided they will take up Arms in his Service,
and give their Assistance to the quelling this unnatural
Rebellion against his Government.
Given under my Hand at Head Quarters, in New-York,
the tenth Day of April, 1781.

the standard.
VIII. That all and every person and persons exer
cising the trade and occupation of a butcher in this city,
shall be obliged within twenty days from the date hereof

HAGUE, March 8.
S^^LJ^N the 4th infynt, Prince Gallit
zin, Envoy Extraordinary from
^ the Empress of Russia to this Re
3 I public, had a conference with
^t"^f^ the President of the Assembly of
the States General, to whom he delivered the
following Memorial:
" High and Mighty Lords,
“ As soon as her Majesty, the Empress of
Russia, was informed of the sudden departure
of his Britannic Majesty's Ambassador, near
your High Mightinesses, from the Hague, her
imperial Majesty, guided by the sentiments of
friendfllip and benevolence which she enter
tains for both Powers, has not waited for any
explanations of the consequences that might
result from an event so alarming for their re
ciprocal tranquility and welfare, to order her
Miniffer at the Court of London to make the
most pressing representations, in order to pre
vent, if possible, the breaking but of hostilities,
and to engage that Court to prefer means of
lenity and reconciliation ; offering, at the fame
time, to co-operate in that salutary measure,
with all in her power. Though her Majesty
has not yet had time enough to receive an
answer from the Court of London, she has,,
however, reasons to presume, that these insinu
ations will have met with a kind and favour
able reception. In this confidence, the Em-
Erefs does not hesitate to give a frefh proof of
er salutary intentions in favour of a recon
ciliation between the two States, which are
equally dear to her, and which she has for this
long while seen living together in the most
perfed intelligence, so natural and necessary
to their refpedive interests, in formally pro
poling her good offices and mediation, to put
a stop to all difeord and the war which hat
just broke out between them.
“ Whilst M. de Simolin, Minister from the
Empress to the Court of London, acquits him
felf of the orders which she hath just given
him on this objed, the undersigned Minister
has the honour to discharge on his fide the
fame talk with their High Mightinesses, and
to assure them of the zeal and eagerness with
which he desires to labour in the precious work
of re-establishing the repose and tranquility of
their state.
“ The difintereflednefs, the impartiality,
and the motives of general beneficence, which
have shone forth in all the anions of her Im
perial Majesty, have equally been the basis of
this.
" The wisdom and the prudence of your
High Mightinesses will lead them to acknow
ledge these august qualities, and to dictate the
answer which the undersigned is to return to
her Imperial Majesty, on that account.
At the Hague, March 1, 1781.
(Signed) The Prince De Gallitzin."
