WASTE and DEVASTATION is
'committing on the bland of New. York, Long-
Lland, Morrifauia, and Staten-Island, by per
sons who without right or title are cutting
down
To put an immediate flop to a practice so
destructive to the interest of Individuals, and
eventually so to the King's service, all persons
are itriTiy forbid to cut WOOD on any land
that does not belong to them, unless they have
leave from the owner so to do, and all who
have been cutting timber on elates of persons
fuppo^d to be in rebellion, are forbid to cut
any more on this pretence, but to lay before
me the title and authority on which they have
proceeded, that method and o'rder may be in
troduced, and injustice and devastation ftop'd.

LONDON CLARET.
THE King having been gra/cioufly pleased to hegour
me with the Care of a Province, where, in a lore
Residence, I have contraArd an Esteem for feme, and
an Affection for many of its Inhabitants, I proceed with
great Pleafare to announce his benevolent Intentions.
It is his Majefty'sWifh, by the Revival of the CivH
Authority, to prove to all the Colonies and Provinces,
that it is not his Design to govern America by* Mili
tary Law, but that they are to enjoy all the Benefits of a
local Legi/Ltion and their forrArr ConLitaticn.
To ths End I have brought out the Royal Appoint
ments for forming the Council, and fypplyipg the. Places
of Lieutenant Governor and Chief Justice. And ri
Concurrence with the Commander in Chief of the Bri
tish Forces, who is also his Majefty.'s Commissioner fir
restoring Peace to the Colonies, I shall, as speedy as tie
public Exigencies will permit, give order for opening ^bc
Courts 0: Judicature, and convening the Affembi,; and
in gcneralprocecd to the Execution of the Powers reposed
in me for the free Course arid complete Re eAabliffimcnt,
both of the Legislative and Executive Authority.
I take great Satisfaction in the Anticipation of that
ha py Dar, when Relations, Friends and Fellow Citi
zens, having dignified their gloomy Apprehensions, shall
re-embrace each other, and return to the Offices, Plea
fores and Employments of Peace. Your Country with
your antient Privileges, will then participate in an ex
te five Commerce and be exempted from all Taxations
not imposed by yourselves.
Until I meet you regularly in General Assembly, for
the Restoration of mutual Confidence, and the remedying
of private as well as public Evils, I pledge myLif to
Men of all Claffcs, in every Part of the Province, that
it is the compassionate Desire of your Sovereign, and of
the Parent Country, to unite in Affection as in lorereft,
with the Colonies planted by her Hand, and which have
long flourifhed hinder her Care,-- -but the 'Suggeftions of
her Intention to impair their Rights and Privileges, arc
the Arts of Malice and Faction, —and that every Insi
nuation made by the domestic Enemies of Great-Britain,
of her being disposed to abandon the Provinces to internal
Anarchy and the Mifchiefs of thei, jarring Interests and
Claims, or to the fraudulent and ambitious Views of
foreign, Popifh, and arbitrary Powers (of whom yout
Fathers had a wife and virtuous jealousy) is equally falfe
and malicious.
Happy herfelf, under a Conftittition which is the En
vy and Admiration of surrounding Nations, she willies to
include in'one comprehensive System of Felicity, all tire
Branches of a Stock, intimately connected by the Tierfof
Language, Manners, Laws, Customs, Habits, Interests,
Religion, and Blood.

A PROCLAMATION.
I lament with the ingenuous Thousands of America,
who are irreconcileable to the unnatural Separation, so
inauspicious to yourlelves, as well as all the rest of your
Fellow Subjects in the other Quarters of the World, that
the Few who have found Means to acquire a Sway in the
Management of your Affairs, have been averse to every
uniting System of Policy, and studiously Ihunned the
Paths of Harmony and Peace.
Butit is not my Aim to call them to a hopeless and
mortifying Review of their Conduct. Can they want
Evidence at this Day, of the Detestation of their Mea
sures, by an increasing Majority of their own Country
men ? And having ever, thing to fear from their e±-
haufted Patienee, I warm them to desist, from any future
Attempts to restrain and seduce the Loyalty of others,
and wifely to provide against their Resentment, by fig
nalizirig themselves, as heretofore in exciting, so now
in clofihg the Seine of their intolerable Calamities.
And I hereby give the strongest AfTuranm qf effectual
Countenance, Proteaion, and Support to all Perfpne
who avail tac,reives or the Proclamation iCTued by hie
Excellency Sir Henry Clintsn, dated at James
Island, the 3d Day of March,
Less inclined to reproach than to conciliate, to aggra*
vate than to forget, even the Guilt of those, who privy
to the repeated Calls of Great-Britain to Friendship,
upon Terms adequate to the Desire and Expectation of
their Constituents, yet nevertheless forbore to reveal
them, that they might, with the greater Ease, press the
antient Enmity of foreign Foes, to the Aid of their own
Ambition and Avarice, I exhort them to seek an early
Refuge, in the abundant Clemency of the Crown, from
the Perils to which they have exposed themselves, by
Measures fraudulently concerted and tyrannically in
force !, and afforded by the complicated Miseries they
have broughtjipoh their Country, and the mighty Ruin
Hill impending, Irrcfiftable Evidence of the Folly and
Malignancy of the Councils, b, which its Affairs have
been conducted.
Towards redressing the Disorders, arising from the
Loss or Want of Charters, I recommend it to all con
cerned, to apply without Delay in the ordinary Course
for Charters, which shall be granted as soon as Civil Au
thority takes Place.
As to the public Books of Record, so important to
you- Titles and Estates in all Parts of the Colony, and
formerly lodged in the Secretary's Office, I tinderftand
that they were separated from the rest, by the provident
Circumfoe&ien of my PredeediLr, whose Merits are
above fay Apptaufe, and have often had yours ; and
having been afterwards ferit Home for fife Custody, you
may rely upoa their being carefully preserved, and duly
returned a s soon as the common Tranquility is restored.
I now call upon every Individual in the Colony, to
/hew his Allegiance, Fidelity and Patriotism, by afford
ing his Assistance towards accomplishing the King's most
gracir is Design of restoring the Blessings of Peace and
good Government : And they who /hill most diftinguilh
themselves by their laudable Efforts for these good Pur
poses, will must affaedly best recommend themselves to
the Royal Approbation nnd Favour.
Given under my Hand, and the G eat Seal of the
Province of New-York, in the City of New-
