By His Excellency
James Robertson, Esq;
Captain General and Governor in Chief, in and ov r r
the Province of New-Voik, and the Territories de
pending thereon in America, Chancellor and Vice-
Admiral of the fame, and Mger-General of his
Majesty's Forces.
A PROCLAMATION.
THE Neceffiiy of a seasonable and ample Supply of
FUEL, for the Use of his Majesty's Troops,
obliges me, however reluctant to call on the Inhabitants
of Long-Bland, to furnish a Proportion of Wood for the
Barrack-Yard in New-York, federal Plans have been
successively adopted; but without their Assistance a fuf
ficient Quantity to guard against the Severities of along
Winter cannot be procured; and I flatter rn.filf, they
will the more cheerfully comply with the Requifiuon, as
the Burthen, if any, will be equally borne, and the In
jury that must unavoidably hefal Individuals, from an
unforefeen Deficiency be prevented.
The County of King's is therefore required t~ get
1500 Cor^; (Queen's County 4506 ; and the Western
Part of Suffolk (including Huntingdon, 1%, Smith-
Town, and Brookhave ) ,>oo Cords, ready cut and
corded bv the 15th of Aueuft ensuing.
And that the Distribution may be equally made and all
Waste avoided, the Civil and Military Officers of each
County will meet, on Saturday the 25th left, at F^t-
Bufb, Jamaica, and Smith-Town, and affels on each
Diftrid, a proportionate Part of the Quantity demanded.
The Officers in the Diftrift will then direct the Farmers
each to cut his Part, regulating it by the Wood Land he
possesses; and on Notice being given, will muster the
"rearms of the Neighbourhood, and Cait the W od to such
Landing as (hall be appointed, where the Wood ready
corded, is to be by them surveyed in the Presence of the
Barrack Officer, who will give a Certificate on the S , 0 t
for the Number of Cords, to the Proprietor at the Rue
es Thirty Shillings per Cord for Walnut, and Twenty for
Oak ; and also for the Cartage, at the Rate of Four
Shillings a Cord per Mile. The Teams so employed will
-be fully protested, and the Certificates punctually paid.
The foregoing Regulations not being adapted to the
Situation of the eastern Part of Suffolk ; the Inhabitants
®f Southold, Southampton, and East Hampton, are re
quired to cut in the Wood Lands late belonging to Wil.
liam Smith, and William Floyd of said County (now
out in Rebellion) in the parts thereof nearest to the
Landing by Maffick Neck, 3000 Cords of Wood, to be
ready by thefirft of September. On due Information be
ing given, they will cart the fame, and attend in the
mean while to its Preservation, and when surveyed on
the Water-fide, they will receive at the Rate of Ten
Shillings per Cord, for cutting and carting as above men
tioned.
These Orders being calculated at once to provide for the
Army, and to give every Security to the Farmer against
others interfering with his Property; he will be left
without Excuse, if by a criminal Negle& he does not
avail himfelf of the advantageous Offers field out to him,
and must expect to fuffer all the Evils consequent on his
Vifobedience.
Given under my Hand, and the Great Seal of the
Province of New-York, in the City of New-
York, the 16th Day of June, One Thousand
Seven Hundred and Eighty, in the 20th Year
ofhis Majesty's Reign.
