PROCLAMATION,
WHEREAS there are fevered Deserters from the
Biitifli and Foreign Troops under my Command,
who are either serving with the enemy, or are concealed
in rhe Rebel Country ; I have thought fit to issue this
my Proclamation, offering a free and unlimited Pardon to
all such Defectors, who ihall surrender themselves to any
©fhia Majesty's Troops before the firft Day of December
ext.
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 fiung with R:morfe, and
fenfibleof theHeinoufnefs of such an unnatural Proceeding
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 promise to
all such who /hall come in before the above-mentioned
firft daj of December, in addition to the Benefits, Pro
tedion and Support, to which they would be entitled un
der any other Proclamations, to procure for them his
Majefty'smoft gracious Pardon for all Felonics and '&ea
fons (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 upnitural Re
bellion against his Government.
