ITHE NORWICH UNION SOCIETY was origi-
nally established in 1'797, and was the first Office to intro-
duce to the Public the principle of returning Profits tothe Parties
Insured,.and it actually did return the sum of £114,072. l ls. 7d.
Since the principle of the Office has been modified, it has declared
a Return to the Parties Insured of £31,965. is. 6d.
No other Fire Office has given such large advantages to the
Public, and the consequence has been, that the Norwich Uniun
ranks the Second Office in the amount of its business in the United
Empire!
It is a part of the Constitution of the Society that Losses may
be substantiated before Local Committees, a system which greatly
facilitate the prompt Settlement of Claims.
The Capital of the Society is £550,000, and the Parties Insured
are completely guaranteed from all responsibility.

FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTi.

BY THE KING.—A PROCLAMATION.
Gnomic, R.
Whereas his Majesty being at peace with all the
Powers and States of Europe and of America, has 're-
peatedly declared his Royal determination to maintain
a strict and impartial neutrality in the different contests
in which certain of those Powers and States are engaged:
And whereas the commission of acts of hostility by
individttal subjects of his Majesty against any Power
or State, or against the persons and properties of the
subjects of any Power or State, which being at peace
with his blajesty is at. the same time engaged in a
contest, with respect to which his Majesty has declared
his determination to be neutral, is calculated to bring
into question the sincerity of his Majesty's declarations:
And whereas, if his Majesty's subjects cannot be
effectually restrained from such unwarranted .commis-
sign of acts of hostility, it may be justly apprehended
that the Governments aggrieved thereby might be
unable, on their part, to restrain their subjects from
rcommitting a-ts of.violence upon the persons and pro-
petty of unoffending subjects of his Majesty :
And whereas the Ortoinan Porte, a Power at peace
with his Majesty, is and has been for some ye:•rs past
engaged in a contest with the Greeks, in which contest
his Majesty has •bserved a strict and impartial neutrality.
And whereas great numbers of his Majesty's loyal
subjects reside and carry on a beneficial commerce, and
possess establishments and enjoy privileges within the
dominions of the Ottoman Porte, protected by the
faith of treaties between his Majesty and that Power:
And whereas his Majesty has received recent and
undoubted information, that a:tempts are now making
to induce certain of his Majesty's subjects to fit cot
ships of war and privateers in the ports of his Majesty's
kingdom, and to embark therein, for the purpose of
carrying on, under the Greek flag, hostile operations
against the• Ottoman Government, of capturing and
destroying Turkish ships and property, and of commit-
ting depredations on the Coasts of the Turkish dominions:
And whereas such hostile operations would be dirt ctly
contrary to the provisions of the Act passed in the
fifty-ninth year of the reign of his late Majesty, entitled
" An Act tt prevent the enlisting or engagement of his
Majesty's subjects to serve in a foreign service, and the
fitting out or equipping, in his Majesty's dominions,
vessels for warlike purposes, ss ithout his Majesty'►
license," in which it is, amongst other things, enacted,
44 that if any natural-born subject of his Majesty, his
heirs, or successors, without the leave or license of his
Majesty, his heirs or successors, for that purpose first
had and obtained under the sign manual of his Majetty,
his heirs, or successors, or signified by order in Council,
or by proclamation of Ifs Majesty, his heirs, or suc-
cessors, shall take or accept, or shall agree to take or
accept, any military commission, or sh ill otherwise
enter into the military service as a commissioned or
non-commissioned officer, or shall enlist or enter him-
self to enlist, or shall agree to enlist or to enter himself
to serve as a soldier, or to be employed, or shall serve
in any warlike or military operation in the service of,
or for, or under, or in aid of any foreign Prince, State,
Potentate, colony, province, or part of any province or
people, or of any person or persons exercising, or as-
suming to exercise, the powers of government, in or
over any foreign country, colony, province, or part of
any province or people, either as an officer or soldier,
or in any other military capacity; or if any natural
born subject of his Majesty shall, without such leave or
license as afores id, accept, or agree to take or accept,
any commission, warrant, or appointment as an officer,
or shall enlist or enter himself, or shall agree to enlist
or enter himself to serve as a sailor or marine, or to be
employed or engaged, or shall serve in and on board any
ship or vessel of war, or in and on board any ship or
vessel used, or fitted out, or equipped, or intended to
be used for any warlike purpose in the service of, of
for, or under, or in aid of any foreign Power, Prince,

province or people, or of any person or persons ex-
ercising, or assuming to exercise the powers of Govern-
ment in or over any foreign country, colony, province,

born subject of his Majesty shall, without such leave
and license as aforesaid, engage, contract, or agree to

with the intent to be se enlisted, entered, engaged, or
employed as aforesaid, whether any enlisting money,
pay, or reward, shall have been, or shill be, aeon*
given or received, or not, in any or either of such cases
every person so offending shall be deemed guilty of a
misdemeanour, and, upon being convicted thereof, upon
any information or indictment, sha'l be punishable by
fine and imprisonment, or either of them, at the dis-
cretion of the Court before which such offender shall be
convicted." And it is further enacted, " That if any
person within any part of the United Kingdom, or in
any part of his Majesty's dominions beyond the seas,
shall, without the leave and license of his Majesty for
that purpose first had and obtained, as aforesaid, equip,
furnish, fit out, or arm, or attempt or endeavour to

ped, furnished, fitted out, or armed, or shall knowingly

or of Ay foreign colony, province, or part of any pro-
vince or people, or of any person or persons exercising,
or assuming to exercise, any powers of government in
or over' any foreign state, colony, province, or part of
any province or people, as a transport or store-ship, or
with intent to cruise or commit hostilities against any
Prince, State, or Potentate, or against the subjects or
citizens of any Prince, State, or Potentate, or against
the persons exercising, or assuming to ezercise,the powers
of government in any colony, pro v ince or part of any pro-
vince or country, or against the inhabitants of any f neig3
colony, province, or part of any province or country,
with whom 'his Majesty shall not then be at war, or
shall, within the United Kingdom, or any of his Majesty's
dominions or in any settlement,colony,territory,island, or
place belonging or subject to his Majesty, issue or deliver
any comr.si.sion for any ship or vessel, to the intent that
such ship or vessel shall be employed as aforesaid, every
such person so offending shall be deemed guilty of a mis-
demeanour, and shall, upon conviction thereof, upon any
information or indictment, be punished by fine and im-
prisonment, or either of them, at the direction of the
Court in which such offender shall be convicted, and
every such ship or vessel, with the tackle, apparel, and
furnitute, together with all the materials, arms, ammu-
nition, and stores nhich may belong to, or be on board
of, any such ship or vessel, shall be forfeited; and it
:hall be lawful for any Officer of his Majesty's Customs
or Excise. or any Officer of his Majesty's Navy, nho is
by law empowered` fo make seizures for any forfeiture
incurred under any of the laws of Customs or Excise,
or the laws of Trade anchNavigation, to seize such ships
and vessels aforesaid, and in such places, and in such
manner in which the Officers of his Majesty's Customs
or Excise, and tl:e Officers of his Majesty's Navy, are
empowered respectively to make seizures under the
laws of Customs and Excise, or under the laws of Trade
and Navigation, and that every such ship and vessel,
with the tackle, apparel, and furniture, together with
all the materials, arms, ammunition, and stores which
may belong to, or be on board of, such ship or vessel,
may be prosecuted and cenriemned in the like manner,
and in such Courts as ships or vessels may be prose-
cuted and condemned, for any breach of the laws made
for the protection of the revenues of Customs and Excise,
or of the laws of Trade and Navigation."
His Majesty, therefore, being desirous of preserving
to his subjects the blessings of peace which they now
happily enjoy, and being resolved to persevere in that
system of neutrality which his Majesty has so repeatedly
declared his determination to maintain; in order that
none of his Majesty's subjects may unwarily render
'themselves liable to the penalties imposed by the sta-
tute herein mentioned, has thought.fit, by and with the
advice of his Privy Council, to issue this his Royal
Proclamation :
And his Majesty does hereby strictly command that

Greeks, as towards all other belligerents with whom his
