By Sir GEORGE COLLIER, Commodore and
Commander in Chi sos all his Maje/ly's Ships
and Vfels employed in America, from the North
Cape on the Ifand of Cape Bre on, to the Ba
hama Ijiands and Florida inchfive,
IT having been represented to me that it is
become a Practice lately for Privateers to
anchor without the Hook, at their return from
cruizing, and frequently to land their Prison
ers upon Long-Iflaod, to the great Danger and
Annoyance of his Majesty's faithful Subjects,
and in Defiance of repeated Admonitions to
the contrary.
I think proper therefore to declare that if
Commanders of Privateers shall presume to be
guilty of fach Practices, or shall permit any
Prisoners to be landed from their Ships with
out Leave being obtained from the Commissary
General of Prisoners, and lignified under his
Hand in Writing, such Commander of a Priva
teer Ihall be impressed into his Majesty's Ser
vice, and a Reward and Protection be granted
to such of the Crew as shall make a dilcovery
thereof so As to convict him upon it.
And the Owners of Privateers are to direct
their Veifels when they return from their
Cruizes, to bring to neartie Guard ship, in
Order to their being properly examined, and
not shew so much Difrefped to the King's
-Colours, as to make Sail away, when they fee
the Guard Boat approaching them.
And I think proper to figeify to the Pilots in
the Pay of Go vernment; chat if they shall be
found guilty of going on board Merchant Vel
fels when Men of War are not Applied with
them, who may want to come ip over the Bar,
they will not only be mulcted in pay, but like
wise dismissed as Pilots, and obliged to serve
on board the King's Ships in inferior Stations:
and as fiime of the Pilots have assisted with
their Boats and Persons, to land Rebel Prison
ers on Long-Island from Privateers, the utmeft
Severity will be used to all such who shall be
found acting so contrary to their Duty, and
they may depend, that no Consideration shall
prevent their receiving the Punishment due to
their Fault upon Conviction.
Given on board his Majesty's Ship the
Raifonable, off New-York, the 29th
of June, 1779
GEORGE COLLIER.
By Command of the Commodore.
John Marr, Sec'ry.
