A PROCLAMATION,
WHEREAS the court of commiffioriets
constituted and declared by the United
States in Congress affemblcd, to hear and final
ly determine the controversy between this State,
and the State of Connecticut, refpefting sundry
lands lying within the northern boundary of this
State, having, heard the said States^ refpe&ive
ly, thereupon, proceeded bn the thirtieth day of
December last, to give judgment in the wohds
following, I to wity "We are unanimously of
" opinion, that the State of Connecticut has no
" right to the lands in contfoverfy;, We are al
" so unanimously of opinion, that the jurifdi&i
---" on gnd pre-emption of all the territory lying
" within the charter boundary of Pennsylvania,
" and now claimed by the State of Conne&i
---" cut, do of right belong to the State of Penn
" fylvania." We have thought fit to make
known, and proclaim, and do hereby make
known and proclaim the fame:And we do
hereby charge, enjoin, and require all perfons^
whatsoever, and more especially such person and
persons who under the authority or countenance
of the late Colony, now State of Connecticut,
either before or since the declaration of indepen
dence, have entered upon and fettled lands with-;
in the bounds of this State, to take notice of the
said judgment, and pay due obedience to the laws
of this commonwealth:
And whereas there is reason to fear that the
aiilmofities and resentments which may have
arisen between the people, who, under the au
thority or countenance of the said late Colony,
now State of Connecticut, as aforefaid, have
made settlements within the bounds of this State,
and the citizens of Pennsylvania, who claim the
lands whereon such settlements have been made,
may ind uce some of the latter to endeavour to
gain possession of the said lands, by force and
violence, contrary to law, whereby the peace of
the State may be endangered, and individuals
greatly injured. We do hereby ftri&ly charge,
enjoin and require all persons whatsoever, to for
bear molesting, or in any wife disturbing any
person or persons, who, under the authority or
countenance of the late Colony, now State of
Connecticut, as aforefaid, have fettled lands
within the bounds of this State, until the legifla~
ture, or the courts of justice, shall have made
laws or passed judgment in such case, as to right
and justice may appear to belong, as such per
sons offending therein ihall answer the contrary
at their peril. And we dp hereby charge, en
join and require all judges, justices, Sheriffs and
other peace officers, to use their authority to pre
vent offences, and to punish according to law
all offences committed, or to be committed a
gainst any of the, people, so as aforefaid, fettled
under the authority or countenance of t£e said
[ate Colony, now State of Connecticut, as afore
friid, on lands within this State, and who pay due
obedience to the laws thereof, as in case oflike
offences against any the citizens of this State.

Extract of a letter from Charleftown, July &
" It seems Great-Britain, under the repeated
disasters, and with a view to conrraft her posts
and only carry on defensive war here, had order!
ed the evacuation of Savannah, &c. but the
great naval victory we lately obtained, and the
distresses of the rebel army, and desertion pre
vailing among them, had led us to imagine this
plan, if not entirely laid aside, was at least re
moved to a very great distance.
" To our utter astonishment, however, an or
der was sent some weeks ago for the evacuation
of Georgia and Eaft-Florida^ Upon a repre-,
fentation of the cruelty and impolicy of such a
measure, the order has been suspended as to Eaftrf
Florida ; but it is carried into execution with
regard to Georgia, and at a time too when Sa
vannah was in as compleat a state of Security a^
at any period, the British troops within the town
being at least four times the number of the rebels
without, by the belt accounts.
“ The misery and ruin brought upon theun
happy loyal inhabitants by this order can hardly
be conceived, far less expressed. Indeed the pic
ture of horror^ drawn by .some of our worth,
friends from Savannah, now encamped with
their wives, children, negroes and effeds, 01^
the burning finds at Cockfpur, until! the whole
caribe colle&ed, would draw tears from the:
most obdurate, and wherethcyare all to go to pro
cure any comfortable asylum and avoid starving
God knows. My heart bleeds for them."
Auguf 28. If Charleftown is, or is not to be
evacuated, for the purpose of recovering our
Weil-India settlements, there is the strongest
ground to expert the most flattering success
from the very signal tests of Superior braver;
displayed by the officers there on federal occasi
ons. After the defeat of Greene, the names of
Leslie, "O'Hara, Howard, M'Leod, Haldane,
&c. &c. were mentioned in terms of the high^
