SIR HENRY CLINTON,
Knight of the Most Honourable Order of the BATH,
General and Commander in Chief of all his Majesty's
Forces within the Colonies lying on the Atlantic Ocean
from Nova-Scotia to Weft-Florida, inclusive, &c. &c.
PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS there are several Deserters from the
British and Foreign Troops under my Command,
who are ferviag 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 themselves to any or
his Majesty's Troops before the firft Day of March next.
And whereas there are many of his Majesty's European
Subjeas at this Time serving io the Rebel Arm, against
their King and Country, who, flung with Reinorfe, and
sensible of the Heinousness of such an unnatural Pro
ceeding, would be anxious to return to their Allegiance,
did not their D merits, before their Arrival in America,
make them doubtful of meeting with Prote&ion and
'Support within these Lines. Ido therefore hereby pro
mise to all such who shall come in before the above men
tinned firft Day of Mach, in addition to rhe Benefits,
Protection and Support, to which they would, be^ntituled
un, er any other Proclamations, to procure for them his
M ^jetty's most gracious Pardon, for all Felonies and Trea
sons (Murder excepted) which they have heretofore been
guilty of, provided they will take up Aims in his Service,
and give their Assistance to the quelling this Unnatural
Rebellion against his Government.
Given unde my Hand at Head Quarters, in New York,
the eighth Day of December, 1780
H. CLINTON.

THIS curious Water is erte&ed bv an elaborate

and the purest dew collected in the month o' Ma, and is
without dispute the most excellent cosmetic or beauty
waih, ever yet difeovered ; giving to the fki r the greatest
clearness together with the fineft whitened and foftnefs
imaginable" It takes away pimples, freckles, and spots
of every kind, with all disagreeable tednefs, tan, or sun
burn. It renters a rough (kin finely smooth, and de
stroy s those minute worms which ate so oter )lodged un
der nd deform the skin. It is possessed of such a nou
fifhing quality, that it preserves from wrinkleseven to
an advanced age, and in (hurt, it so opens the pres of
the ikin, and promotes the perfpirati 1 of it, that it
gives the whole Complexion, in a very frrtjtime, that
frefh, healthful and blooming appearance which it ought
naturally to have when fee front any disorder. This
admirable Water is not in the lea^ of tke natur of paint,
being of itfelf as clear ano tranfparcnt as the fineft
chryttal, nor is there the HnHleft particle of Mercury,
or anv other corrosive substance in its competition, but it
is in all refpeds perfetfly fafe, innocent and harmless.
