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 m Y - re
clamation, offering a free and unlimited Pardon to all

SQieas at this Time serving in the Rebel Army ^gatnft
their King and Country, who, flung 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 hereby pro
mise to all such who shall come in before the above men
tioned firft Day of March, in addition to the Benefits,
Proteftionand Support, to which they would

Majesty's most gracious Pardon, for all Felonies and Trea.
