MARIOT ARBUTHNOT, Esq;
Vice-Admiral of the Blue, and Commander in
Chief of his Majesty's Ships and Vessels em
ployed in North-America, &c. &c.
HAVING assumed the command of his
Majesty's Ihips on this station, with the
warmest inclination to give every proper En
couragement to the outfit of private ships and
vessels of war, so long as their owners and com
manders Should keep themselves to the terms
upon which it has been granted ; the employs
ing therein, such seamen, or fea-faring men,
net having previously belonged to the navy
ns might be released from captivity, and fuel
of the colonies as might return to their allegi
ance, and be inclined to serve with them I
observe with concern, that notwithftandug
the repeated publications of Sir George (oi
lier, setting forth the great damage his^-
lefty's service has fuffered from the vaious
methods pursued, to entice seamen to tefert
from it: Low people are hired, public louses
set up, and every attempt tontinued to be
made to seduce them from their duty, inbmuch
that no boat can come on ihore, but ewry art
likely to prevail with them is pradtifel, and
too often with success.
As therefore all entreaties to forbear from
these wicked and unlawful practices hive prov
ed vain; Ido hereby declare, that n future
for every seaman, or Tea-faring man, ;hat may
desert from the King's ships or tranfprts here,
I will press man for man, out of the privateers
and merchant vessels, and my determination is
delivered thus publicly, that not onh the mer
chants and adventurers interetted inthem, but
aifo their crews may be warned igainft the
harbouring deserters from the nay, in any
circumdances or under any pretence whatso
ever, by avoiding which, they will prevent
any disagreeable consequences fom ensuing
to themselves.

'f, VWHEREAS it has been represented to the
:Commandant, that sundry persons
I going out with Fowling-Pieces, have made a
Ipractice of mooting near high roads, and
I other places of public r'efort, thereby render
' ing i: very unsafe for passengers and others
frequenting~the said reads; and that in con
sequence of such practice fame fatal accidents
have actually happened. The Commandant
therefore judges it necessary for the public
fafety, to prohibit all such Fowling near the
environs of the city, of within half a mile of
any high road Or public frequented foot path,
as the offenders will be arTweranle for the
consequences attending the disobedience of
this order.

A CAUTION to the Public in general, but
more particularly to Merchants, Captains
of Ships, and those concerned in trading to
the Eart or Weft-Indies, North-America,&c.
THE daily complaints of injuries received by fouri
ous medicines fold for Maredant's Drops, pre
pared fulely by me, requites the most serious attention,
as well in fafety to the patient, as n>y own interest.
Those Impostures not only attempt to deceive by having
bills printed like mine, and bottlesof the fame mould
and infeription, but are even daring enough to counter
feit my hand writing; some I have punilhed, notwith
standing which, the fame mal-pra^tices are continued ;
others use more caution bv vending medicines under the
names of M£RRDKNT,MFRIDENT,NOR DON,&c.
and Several make use of theb own names,alledging terr
be 01;affiftants to me. Can it bo 'poffible for any, man to
thmz me so weak, , as to d:fclofe such a' valuable ferret
t'o my servants, more especially those of so meniaha iort
as to be employed in the diftribu'tion of pamphlets, pack
ing up and delivering boxes al ch s different inns, with eve
ry drudgery attendant? JOHN NORTON.
