General and Commander in Chief of all has 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
Britiffi and Foreign Troops under my Command,
who are serving with the Enemy, or are concealed in the
Rebel Country : I have thought fit to iffoe this my Pro
clamation, offering a free and unlimited Pardon to all
such Deserters, who shall surrender themselves to any of
his M^efty's Troops before the firft Day of March next.
And whereas there are many of his Majesty's European
SubieAs at this Time serving in the Rebel Army against
their King and Country, who, ftuog with Remorse, and
sensible of the Heinousness of such an unnatural Fro
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 hereby pro
mile to all such who shall come in before the above men
tioned firft Day of March, in addition to the Benefits,
Protection and Support, to which they would be entitled
under any other Proclamations, to procure for them his
Maiefty's most gracious Pardoa, for all Felonies and Trea
sons (Murder excepted) which they have heretofore been
of, provided they will take up Arms tn his Service,
and give their Afliftance to the quelling this unnatural
Rebellion against bis Government.
Given under my Hand at Head Quarters, in New-York,
