°P, '° ur horror knows, I have jocularly praised
you foi your judgment in tool choosing, but you
"''"' '" m Y opinion, blundered id much in your
life, as in this mere Knight of the Post; this Mar
plot. I love a little fun sometimes, I confefs, as
well as the rest of my friends, and if I could have
difeerned the^ leaf gilding on him, I should perhaps
have immediately given chacc arid been at him ;
but afkeer without an, gilding at all; cannot
possibly afford the least sport: but, as perhaps, you
may makefouiething of him by and by, and I knofv
nobody more capable of doing it than yourfelf, I
therefore heartily congratulate you on theacqui/ition
of this vartuous, difuterefed, Anti-Britannic Whig
supporter.

GOD SAVE THE KING.
DON VINCENT EMANUEL DE ZESPEDES;
Brigadier General of bis Mujeflfs Fortes, Cover,
nor and Commander in Chief of the City of St. Au
gustine and Province of Eajt-Florida, &<. &c.
WHEREAS by the sth article of the Definitive
Treaty of Peace, signed on the 3d of left September
at Versailles by the Ministers Plenipotentiaries of
their Catholic and Britannic Majesties, and after
wards ratified in due form by said Sovereigns, his
aforefaid Britannic Majesty cedes and guarantees in
full right to his Catholic Majesty Eatt-Florida, bis
Catholic M jest, agreeing that the British inhabit
tants, or others who may have been fubje&s to the
King of Great-Britain in the said country, may retire
in full security and liberty where they shall think
proper; and may fell their estates, and remove tl eir
effects, as well as tneir perfohs, without being re
trained in their emigration under any pretence
whatsoever, except oh account of debts or criminal
prosecutions, the time limited for this emigration
being fixed to the space of 18 months, to be computed
from the day of the exchange of the ratification of
the present treaty ; but if, from the value of the pos
sessions of the English proprietors, they mould not be
able to dispose bf them within the said term, then his
Catholic Majesty shall grant them a prolongation
proportioned to that end : h is further stipulated that
his Britannic Majesty (ball have the power of remo
ving from EalbElorida, all the effeds which shall
belong to him, whether artillery err other matters:
And whereas the clemency of his Catholic Ma
jesty, my mod august and gracious Sovereign, has
induced him to name and appoint me bis Governor
and Commander in Chief ovej this province of Eall-
Florida, with orders to take, as in fad I have taken,
possession of the fame, in fell sovereignty, in his
royal name : I therefore, in the fanAion of his royal
authority, do offer and hold out, through the channel
of this proclamation, to all and every British inha.
bitant of this province, the exa& and literal accom
plishment of the aforefaid sth article, in its full ex
tension; and being influenced by the sincerest wishes
that every British inhabitant may reap the benefit,
and make the use of said article which may best suit
bis intetefl, I call, invite, enjoiri and require, by
this public proclamation, all and every British inha
bitant, who wiffies to enjoy the benefit of the Spa
nidi prote&ion, under tha flipulation and condition
of the above mentioned sth article, to prelent him
felf, every head of family for his family, and every
single person for himfelf, within the term of 20 days)
to be reckoned from the date hereof, in St. Augufline,
in the house of Capt. Charles Howard, Secretary for
the government of this province, there to give in
their names, occupations, number of their families,
and place of abode; and I do declare, that any
person who may omit to present himfelf in obedience
to this solemn invitation and proclamation, within
the term aligned, will be considered to have forfeited
the privileges, benefits and immunities, held forth by
the late treaty of peace, and confcquently excluded
from the Spanish protection, unicis he who may
happen to present himfelf after the expiration of the
time limited, will be able clearly to prove the mor^l
impossibility of prrfenting himfelf sooner.
And it having come to my knowledge that there
are in this province some few persons who. by dis
turbing the public tranquility, and by capital crimes,
have incurred the just indignation of the British go
Verninent, 1, notwirhflanduig, induced by the hopes
of their future amendment, and willing to begin my
government with a&s of lenity, do permit the afcre
o faulty persons .0 present themselves, in order to
retire to some place of fafety out of this province.
1 also make known and declare, that, if any dis
pute, quarrel, or disagreement, shall arise between
purely Brmft), that f^h dispute should be
decided by arbitrators ciofen amongst their own
countrymen, and such decision will be fopported by
my authority ; and if any British subj d shall prefer
a complaint against a Spaniard, he may be assured
jaftice will be done him according to law and equity.
And, finally, 1 recommend to and order all Spanish
fubje&td preserve and live in the most perfeft har
mony with the British received under, the Spanish
protection, it being aloft certain that to act other
wise will incur his Majesty's royal dtfpleafuie; and
be pumfhed with all the rigour that the circuthhantej
of the case will permit.
1 nat the contents of this proclamation may arrive
to the knowledge of all whom it may concern, and
that no one may alledge ignorance, I have thought
proper to have it translated into the English, to
which translation, signed by the above-mentioned
Secretary to this government, I order that the feme
farm be given as to the Spanish original.
Signed and published in due form, in this
City of St. Augufline, on the 14th day
