I have therefore thought prop
er to iflue this Proclamation, here
by solemnly warning every person
not authorized by the laws,againft
enlisting any citizen or citizens of
the United States, or levying
troops, or affembimg any persons
within the United States for the
purposes aforefaid, or proceeding
in any manner to the execution
thereof as they will answer the
fame at their peril: And Ido also
admonish and require all citizens
to refrain from enlisting, enrolling
or aflembling themselves for such
unlawful purposes, and from being
in any wife concerned, aiding or
abetting therein, as they tender
their own welfare, in as much as
all 1 lawful means will be ftriAly
put in execution for securing obe
dience to the laws* and for pun
ishing, such dangerous and daring
violations thereof. .
And I do moreover charge and
require all courts, magistrates and
gffice-Sj whoin it may concern, ac
By the President cf the United Statu
of America,
W ZHereas I have received in
\ Y formation that certain per
sons in violation of the laws have
presumed under colour of a foreign
authority, to enlist citizens of the
United States and others within
the state of Kentucky, and have
there afiembled an armed force for
the purpose of invading and plun
dering the territories of a nation at
peace with the United States ;—
And whereas such unwarrantable
measures, being contrary to the
laws of nations, and to the duties
incumbent on every citizen of the
United States, tend todifturb the
tranquility of- the fame, and to in
volve them in the calamities of
war, and whereas it is the duty of
the Executive to take care that
such criminal proceedings Ihoujd
be fupprefTed, the offenders bro’t
to justice, and all good citizens
cautioned against measures likely
to prove so pernicious to their
country and themselves, (hould
they be '(educed into similar in
fra^fions of the laws.

in pursuance of my letter to him of the

A PROCLAMATION.
By this Days Maik
We hear that the French Mini fl er has
declared that the French government will
allow and pay damages for the detention
of the American vessels at Bourdeaux, at
the rate of twenty livres per day, for each.
B 0 S f Q N, April 5.
It L furpdflrg fays a Correfpondcnt, to
observe, how the serious profped of war,
within a few days has cooled the spirits of
our ftaurch Whigs, as they called them
fclves. Three weeks ago, war was their
cry, war in preference to national dilgrace!
—Every man that would not join in the
war song, was a tory, an aristocrat, an ene
my to France, to his country, and every
thing bad. Now, when people begin to
think a war is inevitable, what a change !
War is « dreadful calamity now, with these
violent patriots. They wiih to avoid it,
if peflibie ; and those who were before mo
derate, bccaufe they thought violent mea*
furcs were wrong, now come forward wi h
union ahd fprrit ; and declare if war ; s
necessary, they will be the firft to make
facrifices and hazard every thing in defence
of freedom and independence. This is
only a new proof that the molt bally men
are the lead to be depended on.
Accounts from the Weft-Indies received
yesterday, wear amore pleasing afpefl than
for some time past.- From thence, via,
New-York, Newbury- Port and Cape-Ann,
we learn, that the system of British policy
in the Weft-lndies was entirely changed—
that ail the vessels uncondemned were giv
en up, and that some of the Captains of
vessels condemned, had Haltering proYped^
of reiteration of the property, and indem
nification for expenses ; that the privateers
&c. had orders not to detain American
vessels except when bound to a place block
aded ; and when from an Iffand having
contraband articles on board. The ac
counts are from Dominico and St Kitts.
Yeflerday Capt. Phineas Smith ar
rived here in a schooner from Dominico,
where he had been carried in and bis ves
sel and cargo, condemned and fold : The
veHel he purchased for about 70 dollars,
hand come home empty. He informs,
/That the last Brilifh inftru&ions were re
ceived at Dominico, four days before he
failed, and that all process on American
veffeis immediately ceased.—That of a
bout 60 ve fie Is carried in there, 3 1 had
not been condemned, and the Governor
had advised the agents of the privateers,
who had brought thofc in which were not
condemned, to make the belt terms they
could with the American captains, as ref
titation must be made: That a vessel had
been sent to Martinico, to obtain the in
flrudionsof Admiral Jarvis, asto future
proceedings refpe&ing American vessels:
That when he cleared out he was charged
at the office the fees, &c. of clearance. To
this he obje&ed, observing that it was hard
to condemn all a man’s property, and then
make him pay for coming off: That the
Governor replied, that he might make
himfelf easy, as he would have it all retur.
ned. Capt. S. inquired of whom the res
titution was to be made: for if he was to
depend on King George he should get
nothing as he was already a batfkropt;
and, was answered by the governor Cavalier*
If,fhat the French islands would pay for it.

may have been guilty thereof, as
they regard the due authority of
Government and the peace and
welfare of the United States.

Extra# of a litter f rem a gentleman in Phi
ladelphia, to a gentleman in tbit town,
dated March 26.
“The con dud of the British in the Weft-
Indies in the general condemnation of our
veflels, and the reply of lord Dorchester to
the Indian nations of the loth of February,
have convinced Congrels, that the British
nation intend a waragainft us. It is now
the general opinion of Congress, that war
is unavoidable,and I presume they will im
mediately take all proper measures to pre
pare for that event.”
