Circumstances beyond my controul, some of which it would
be improper at this tilde to communicate, impose on me the
painful duty of announcing that the mounted expedition,
proposed to he carried on by order of the President, against
the hostile Indians, is abandoned. The information which
was solicited from the War Department, in relation to the
pay, credit for a tour of duty, &e. allowed to those who
might serve on the expedition, has not been received:
To those patriotic citizens who have volunteered their ser-
vices on the present occasion, I tenders on the part of the Go-
verntne'nt, my sincere thanks—their zeal is worthy of the just
cause in which we are engaged; they will consider them-
selves, together with such militia cavalry as ma? have been
detached for the expedition, honourably dismissed—the pre-
parations and arrangements ordered with a view to the pro-
secution of the expedition will tbert•fore_ cease.
All qiiarter:ms.sters and contractors are hereby directed to
furnish forage and rations to the troops on the return to
their respective homes.

PROCLAMATION

BY LIEUTENANT-COLONEL EDWARn NICHOLLS,

COMNANDING HIS BRITANNIC DIAJESTY'S FORCES

IN THE FLORIDAS.

Natives of Louisiana !—On you the first call
is made to assist in liberating
,from a faithless and
imbecile Government your-paternal soil.

Spaniards, Frenchmen, Italians, and British,
whether settled, or residing for a time,in
Lonisi-
aua, on you also I call -to aid me in this just
cause. The American usurpation in this country
must be abolished, and the lawful owners of
this soil put in possession. I ant at the head of
a large army of Indians, bell armed, disciplined,
and commanded by British officers, a good train
of artillery, with every requisite, seconded by a
powerful aid of a numerous British and-SpanisO
squadron of ships and vessels of war. Be not
alarmed, inhabitants of the country, at our ap-
proach : the same good faith and disinterested-
ness which has distinguished the conduct of. Br-
itons in Europe accompanies them here : you will
have no fear•of litigious taxes intposed on you for
the purpose of carrying on unnatural and unjust
war ; your property, your laws, the peace and
tranquillity of your country, will be guaranteed
-to you by men who will suffer no infringement of
their's. Rest assured that these brave men only
burn with an ardent desire of satisfaction, for the
wrongs they have suffered from the Americans,
to join von in liberating_ these southern frontiers
from their yoke, and drive them into those limits
formerly prescribed by my Sovereign. The In-
dians have pledged themselves, in the most solemn
manner, not to injure,- in the slightest degree,
persons or properties of any but enemies to their
Spanish or English Fathers. A flag over ally door,
whether Spanish, French, or British, will be a
certain proteetiOn. Not even an enemy will an
Indian put to death, except resisting his arms ;
and as tor injuring helpless wiarnen,• nail children,
and old *nets, by their good conduct and treat-
ment to them, they will, if it be possible, make
the Americans blush for their more than inhuman
coi'luct, lately on the Escambia and tvithin
neutral territory. Inhabitants of Kentucky, you
Lave too long borne with grievous impositions;
the whole brunt of the war has fallen on your
brave sons: be imposed on no more, but tither range
,yourselves tinder the standard of vourforefatherS,
observe a strict neutrality. If you comply with
either of these offers, whatever provisions you scud
will he paid for to dollars, and the safety
of the persons bringing it, as well as the free
navigation of the :Mississippi, guaranteed to von.
Men of Kentucky, let nit; call to your view, and
I trust to your abhorrence, the conduct of those
factions which hurried you into this cruel, unjust,
and unnatural war, at a time when Great Britain
vas straining, ewry nerve in defence of her own,
and the liberties of the- world ;—when the
Aso
oilier sons were fighting and bleeding in so sa-
