PROCLAMATION.
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 themselves to any of
his Majesty's Troops before the firft Day of June next.
And whereas there are many of his Majesty's European
Subie&s 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 Proreaion and
Support within these Lines. Jdo therefore hereby pro
mise to all such who flrall come in before the above men
tioned firft Dav of June 1781, in addition to the Benefits,
Protection and Support, to which they would be entituled
under any other Proclamations, to procure for them his
Majesty's most gracious Pardon, for all Felonies and Trea
sons (Murder excepted) which they have heretofore been
guilty of, provided they will take up Arms in his Service,
and give their Assistance to the quelling this unnatural
Rebellion against his Government.
Given under my Hand at Head Quarters, in New-York,
the tenth Day of April, 1781.

Intelligence from Virginia^
On the 26th of June fix miles beyond Wil
liamsburg, the enemy consisting of two thou
sand two hundred men with seventy French
dragoons met three hundred and fifty of the
Queen's Rangers, and eighty mounted Yagers,
Commanded by Col. Simcoe, the fire and at
tack was from the rebels hot and well kept
up, but when cooly charged they gave way,
were put into confufioh when numbers fell,
and the little party, who behaved to the
astonishment of their enemies, remained mas
ters of the field. Lieut. Jones of the Rangers
killed, and two fubalterms were wounded ;
of rank and file fifty one were wounded, ho
assistance could get up in time till it was over.
Earl Cornwallis, with his Lordthip's wonted
fenfibiFty and elegance expressed the highest
approbation of the condud of the commanded,
officers, and men, who shad thus singularly
and gloriously distinguished themselves.
Extras of a Letter from Virginia, dated Wil^
liamfurg, June 30, 1781.
DEAR SIR,.
" There happened a skirmish the 26th inst.
300 rangers including cavalry, 50 Yagers,
ard 20 rifle men, were attacked by 70 cavalry,
1,200 riflemen, and 120 light infantry, all
under the command of a Major M'Pherfon,
Aid-de camp to the marquis. The rangers
formed in a heavy ploughed field ; received 1
the rebels, and charged them foot and horse,
killed a vast number, drove them to the devil,
took one major, two subalterns, and thirty
three privates, and broke above iso<f their
fine rifles — The loss of the ranges are one
fuoaltern killed, and two wounded, 24 fer
jants and privates killed, 18 wounded, one
corporal, and one private taken.
Lord Cornwallis has given the Colonel and
corps his warmelt thanks, for the good con
du& and spirited behaviour, in defeating so
superior a force of their choice troops. I
think choice ffiould have been left out, for. I
don't know any—they are all despicable a
like.
The Rangers have been a long way up the
country, mottly detached from the atmy. At
Pointof Fork near the mountains, 3000 Hand
of arms were broke, powder destroyed. 700
swords taken, a valt quantity of cloth, leather
breeches, frith linen, rum, rebel eloathing,
hats, &c. &c. taken. At the Seven Islands,
150 barrels of powder, (at a moderate com
putation) 9000 hoglheacs of tobacco-- I really
think more, however I chufe to be withe the
mark. One principal thing I had like to
forgot, the Rangers have now one hundred
horses as fine as any Virginia affords, none
such in the service either in America or Eng
land ; it is reckoned they are superior to
those of Col Lee, the Rebel Partizan."

mander, the rebel letter of marque thin C lu^bus,
Greely, late matter, of 18 guns and fifiy num,

r bel captain and three of his crew were wounded in
the action. The Monk also retook the copper bot
tomed brig Swift, from London bound for this port,
which had been captured by the rebel private er Mi

menfe value. She was brought in with the Colum
bus. A schooner from South-Ca olina bound for
New Providence, which had been taken by the Beli
farius privateer, has been re-taken by the Monk,
and sent into Penobfeot. The Monk also took wo
