(Signed) M. ARBUTHNOT.
By Command of the Admiral,
Will. Green.
WHEREAS it has been represented to the
Commandant, that sundry persons
going out with Fowling-Pieces, have made a
practice of Ihooting near high roads, and
other places of public resort, thereby render
ing it very unfafe for passengers and others
frequenting the said roads ; and that in con
sequence of such practice some 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, or within half a' mile of
any high road or public frequented foot path,
as the offenders will be answerable for the
consequences attending the disobedience of
this order.

MARIOT ARBUTHNOT, Elq;
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 Mips on this Ration, with the
warmett 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 Mould keep themselves to the terms
upon which it has been granted ; the employs
ing therein, such seamen, or tea-faring men,
not having previously belonged to the navy,
as might be released from captivity, and such
of the colonies as might return to their allegi
ance, and be inclined to serve with them, I
observe with concern, that notwithstanding
the repeated publications of Sir Georgi Col
lier, setting forth the great damage his Ma*
jefty's service has fuffered from the various
methods pursued, to entice seamen to desert
from it: Low people are hired, public houses
set up, and every attempt continued to be
made to seduce them from their duty, insomuch
that no boat can come on fhor%~but every art
likely to prevail with them is praftifed, and
too often with success.
As therefore all entreaties to forbear from
these wicked and unlawful practices have prov
ed vain; Ido hereby declare, that in future
for every seaman, or fea-faring man, that may
desert from the King's ships or transports here,
I will press man for man, out of the privateers
and merchant vessels, and my determination is
delivered thus publicly, that not olily the mer
chants and adventurers interested in them, but
also their crews may be warned against the
harbouring deserters from the navy, in any
circumitances or under any pretence whatso
ever, by avoiding which, they will prevent
any disagreeable consequences from ensuing
to themselves.
SUCH Ladies as are duly qualified, and in
clined to perform on the stage during the
course of the ensuing winter, will plsafe to
fend in their propof^s, sealed and direded to
the Managers, to be left atMr. Rivington's.

rf^HE Managers of the Associated Refugee Lot
& tery, beg leave to inform the adventurers and
the public, that upon an enquiry into the date of
the lottery, ffnce their arrival at this place, they
find that nearly one half of the tickets are actually
fold and difpoied of. Anxious for the completion of
the lottery, as well in justice to those concerned as to
themselves, th„ have proposed and agreed, with the
approbation of the adventurers, to abridgefthe lot
tery one-half from the original scheme, in price of
ticke s and value of prizes, so that the lottery will
then stand as follows, viz.
No. of Prizes. Sum Total value.

7000 Tickets at 20s. flerl. is £. 7000
Subject to a deduction of 15 per Cent.
According to this plan, the price of the tickets is
reduced from 40s. to 20s. sterling : It is therefore
proposed and agreed, that every adventurer, who
has heretofore purchased a ticket, on application
made to the managers or either of them, shall be en
titled to and receive one other ticket gratis : For
which purpose one or more of the managers or some
person fuhftituted by them, will daily attend at
Messrs. Mills and Hicks's Printing Office, from ten
to one o'clock, for the term of fourteen days front
the date hereof, at which place and times any person,
desirous of becoming adventurers, may be supplied
with tickets. And that justice may be done to the
absentee adventurers and others who may not apply
within the time limited, it is proposed and agreed,
that their tickets be regiftcred, and others set off and
assigned, according to their refpe&ive rights and
shares, to be deposited in some disinterested person or
persons hands, previous to the drawing the lottery.
The managers flatter themselves these proposals
will meet the approbation and encouragement of the
pub! c and a 1 concerned, which will enable them to
draw the lottery the beginning of next month.
N.B. Thole Gentlemen,who hare tickets deposited
in their hands for file are hereby req ueued, on no
account to fell or deliver out any more tickets, but
to return them immediately to the managers.
