WHEREAS there are several Deserters from the
British and Foreign Troops under my Command,
who are serving with the Enemy, or are concealed in the
Rebel Country: I have thought fit to issue this my Pro
clamation, offering a free and unlimited Pardon to all
such Deserters, who shall surrender themhlves to any o,

And whereas there are many of his MAjefty's European
Subjeds 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 Protection and
Support within these Lines. Ido therefore hereof pro

Majesty's mo& gracious Pardon, for all Felonies and Trea-.
