PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS there are fevcral Deserters from the
British and Foreign Tkoo,s under my Command,
who are serving with the Enemy, or are concealed in the
Rebel Country : I have thought fit to issue this my Pro
clamation, offering a free and unlimited Pardon to all
such Deleters, who shall surrender themselves to any of
his Myefty's Troops before the firft Day of March next.
And whereas there are many of hit Majesty's European
Subjects at this Time serving in the Rebel Army against
their King and Country, who, Rung with Remorse, and
sensible of the Heinousness of such an unnatural Pro,
feeding, would be anxious to return to their Allegiance,
did not their Demerits, before their Arrival in America,
make them doubtful of meeting with Protection and
Support within these Lines. Ido therefore hereby pro.
mile to all such who ffiall come in before the above men
tioned firft Day of March, in addition to the Benefits,
Protection and Support, to which they would be entituhd
under any other Proclamations, to procure for them bis
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 Aims in bis Service,
and give their Assistance to the quelling this unnatural
Rebellion against his Government.
