To all auboMit doth or may concern.
WHEREAS His Excellency General Washington hath
given the most peremptory orders, That no Flag
from the enemy shall be received at any oche£ place or post,
but Dobb's Ferry, on any business or pretext whatever : And
that no Flag from us to them shall, for any reason however
pressing, be permitted to pass to the enemy's lines, but froni
the fame place;
And direas all Officers commanding posts, and others, to
take measures for carrying this order into execution, so far
as relates to the posts within the limits of their command,
and the places at and from which Flags have been sent and
received, by immediately putting in arrest any officer who
shall prefame to contravene the intention of this order on
our fide-—And by detaining as prisoners, any persons who
may come from the enemy with Flags.
His Excellency hath requeued my aid in carrying this
measure into fob effed, and hopes for the concurrence of the
civil power, in preventing all other intercourse with the eae
my, as far as possibly can be.
THESEare therefore, by and with the advice of Coun
cil, to will and require all officers and others concerned,
ftrialy to conform themselves to the foregoing orders from
Qis Excellency General Washington, as they will answer the

WHEREAS itis understood by many, that Students may
be admitted at any and all Times of the year, and
into any of the Cla (Tes,and Applications for Admission have
been made out of due Time founded on such mistake : This
is to inform the public, that no such usage is established in
this College. A few instances of indulgence on account of
ficknefs,indigence, and the interruptions of the present War,
have doubtless occasioned this miltake. But however some
few Singular instances, and for very special and uncommon
reasons, may be diipenfed with ; yet ordinarily none may
expert admiffians, but at the usual time of Commencement,
or the beginning ofthe academic year.
