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 ships on this Ration, with the
warmest inclination to give every proper En
couragement to the outfit of private ship- 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,
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 George Col
lier, setting forth the great damage his Ma
jesty's service has fuffcred 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 feducethem from their duty, insomuch
that no boat can come on shore, but every art
likely to prevail with them is pradifed, 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 only the mer
chants and adventurers interested in them, but
also their crews may be warned against the
harbouring deserters from the navy, in any
circumstances or under any pretence whatso
ever, by avoiding which, they will prevent
any disagreeable consequences from ensuing
• to themselves.
Given on board his Majesty's ship the
Russel, off New-York, September 14,

(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 shooting near high roads, and
other places of public resort, thereby render
ing it very unfafe for passengers and others
frequenting the said roads ; andthat 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.
