General and Commander in Chief of all his Majeliy s
Forces within the Colonies lying on the Atlantic Ocean
from Nova-Scotia to Weft-Fiorida, mclufire,
PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS there are several Deserters from the
British and Foreign Troops under my Command,
who are Erring 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
such Deserters, who shall surrender themselves to any 0:
his Majesty's Troops before the foft Day of June next, .
And whereas there are many of his Majesty's European
Subieas at this Timeserving in the Rebel Army against
their King and Country, who, flung with Remo:fe, and
sensible of the Heinousness of such an unnatural Pro
ceeding, wnuld be anxious to return to their Allegiance,
did not their Demerits, before their Arrival in America
make them doubtful of meeting with Proteaion and
Support within these Lines. Ido therefore hereby pro
mile to all such who shall come in before the above men
tioned fiift Day of June 1781, in addition to the Benefits,
Proteaion and Support, to which they would be entitled
under any other Pioclamatidns, to procure for them his
M^efiy's meft gracious Pardom, for all Felonies and Trea
sons (Murder excepted) which they have heretoicre been
guilty of, provided they will take up Arms m his Service,
and give their Ahiftance to the quelling this unnatural
Rebellion agirinft his Government.
Given under my Hand at Head Quarters, in New-York,
the tenth Day of April, 1781.
