WHEREAS there are several Delerters from the

clamation, offering a free and unlimited Pardon to all
such Deserters who shall surrender themselves to any of
bis M jetty's Troops before the-fi/ft Day <f June next.
And whereas there are many of his Majesty s European
Subje&s at this Time serving in the Rebel Army against
their King and Country, who, stung with Remorse, and
sensible of the Heinousness of such an unnatural Pro
ceeding, would be anxious to return to their Allegiance,
did not their Demerits, before their Arrival in America,
make them doubtful of meeting with Prote&ion and
Support within these Lines. Ido the efore hereby pro
mite to all such who shad come in before the above men
tinned firft Day of June 1781, in addition to the B nefits,
Prote&ion and Support, to which they would beentituhd

On Sunday night lad about 40 rebels landed
at the bottom of Cowrreck, twenty of theni
marched about 4 m les to ;he Helife of Daniel
Kiffim, Esq; wh ch they entered, and took off
Major Kilfam of Queen's county militia, h's
younger ,brothe/ Benjamin Tredwelff K ffam,
and Thomas Pearlall; a refugee. Mr. Fitch,
the commanding effice: of (he party, behaved
with great civility to &rs,'Kirfam, not filter
ing his men to gointo the room where he ua
derftood Mrs. Towndfe^d s an old lady, mo
ther to Juitice'Kiffam, "As in bed. The plun
der they carried, off was bus triflingThe,
also took with them one Alexander Haihes,
whom they found' sleeping under a tree near
where they landed, justice Kifi^m and his
son were absent from home at that time: The
rebels made particular enquiry after them.
Extract of a letter from Cbarle/lown, confluent
to the Rebel General Green sfedden retain back,
into South-Carolina, dated j^ne yb.
" Camden was abandoned, arid scarce a
day passed that did not bring accounts of some
post being taken, or some party cut off. Ac
last Lord Rawdon moved to the lines nearer
Charleftown, leaving Augutli and Ninety-Six
to tpeir fate, they bravely held out ; and the
reinforcement now arrived, will oblige Mr.
Green to seek his fafety in flight.
" The cruelties exercised by the rebile, jvill
surpass the belief even of a man who has been
three years in New-York. Cool, deliberate
murder was pradtifed on every occasion. So
soon as a few militia fell into their hands,
some were fhet, others hanged, and the rest
tortured different ways. To some they ^yf
the choice of taking up arms in their fer Vice,
or a cord : To others even this fad alternative
was denied. Several havh been foot; and fbffie
hanged ac their own doors, in 'fight of their
wives and children, merely fonhavihg exer^
cifed an aft of humanity to a fugitive Idyalitt.
