By Order of his Excellency
General ROBERTSON,
I Am directed and authorifed to demand and
receive all GROUND RENTS due, or
that may hereafter become due, for Grants
heretofore made by the Corporation of this
City: In consequence thereof, Ido hereby
^ive Notice, that due attendance will be given
at my Office in Pearl-Street, every Monday,
Wednesday and Friday Mornings, between
the Hours of nine and one, in order to receive
the fame; of which all concern'd are requir'd
to take Notice.

Forces within the Colonies lying on the Atlantic Ocean

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 Defeiters, who (hall surrender themfelvet to any of
his Majesty's Troops before the firft Day of June next.
And whereas there are many of his Majesty's European
Subjeas at this Timeserving 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 Proteaion and
Support within these Lines. Ido therefore hereby pro
mise to all such who (hall come in before the above men
tioned firft Day 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.

WARSAW, February 6.
THE government have delivered a
note to all the foreign Ministers,
setting forth, that the contagious
disorder which had appeared in
the Palatinates of Podolia, Vol
bynia, and the Ukraine, had entirely ceased,
which agreeable news they were requeued to
communicate to their refpe&ive courts, that
the trade to those parts might be again opened.
LONDO N, fa 15.
Notwithstanding the various reports circu
lated of Russia's taking part against us, we
can from the best authority declare, that in
consequence of the Empress's figging the late
treaty of armed neutrality, Admiral Greig,
and all the British naval officers in her feryice,
had requeued leave to resign their conymiftions,
if that court determined to ad offenfively to
Great-Britain ; when tne ftrongett ^ffurances
w re given, that nothing of the kind was in
tended ; and on the contrary, the Empress
assured them that Great-Britain was the last
power on earth she fliould ever be induced to
be at variance with.
February I.
Extras ts a htt^ from the Hague, Jan. 26.
66 We are assured that a few days ago an,
Ambassador, resident here from a certain court,
which is no ways concerned in the present
war, or in the Northern Confederation, but is
perfectly neutral, has bad a private conference
with the Penfionary ; in which, after a clover
farion upon the present situation of affairs,
he a&ed him, ' If any neutral power fhouid
' undertake to be a mediator between the Re
-6 public and Great- Britain, and endeavour to
' bring about an accommodation between the
6 two states, whether the Stares-Genei al would
‘ give into any reasonable and equitaole pro
-6 positions that might be made to them on that
' fubjed, &c.' To which the Penfionary made
answer, 6 That as he was morally persuaded
6 that their High Mightinesses defined nothing
6 more, he believed that he could allure him
' that they would readily lihen to any proper
6 propofals.' The Minister then declared,
6 That it was his Court which offered to take
6 this salutary work in hand, and that the Pen
-6 fionary might speak to their High Mightj
-6 neffes on the fubjett, and let him know their
6 sentiments, that he might inform his Court,
< and that the more dispatch used, the better,
“ People are much divided what court it is
that has made this proposal; in the mean time
it mutt be either the Couitof Vienna, Berlin,
or Turin, as they are the only ones that are
perfedly neutral, and have Ambassadors at this
Court.
Extras of a letter from the Hague, Feh. 1,
“ The States of Holland adjourned their
affemblylaft Saturday to thezift of this month.
We do not hear that any thing material was
done during their last session, and most proba
bly nothing very interelting will take place
till Ihe return of the courier font to Peterfburgh
to claim the flipulated fuccours from the Em
press of Russia.
" The waters of the river Rhine, Waef,
Maeze, Yffell, Leck, and others, have been
so violently agitated by the winds, and rose so
high, that the Dykes (banks made to keep the
waters in bounds) have been broken in many
places, which have occasioned the waters to
overflow the neighbouring country, and do
ver y great damage.
"We are allured, that the Minister who
some time ago offered the mediation of his
court to accommodate matters between Great-
Britain and this Republic, proves to be tfo of
Berlin, whisk offer is said to have been made
“ It is said the Counter-Manifefto of the
States-General will soon, appear.”
