A PROCLAMATION.

II ceinS mduc Clearly appear by the re-
preientations Of the Planters, Inhabitants,
&c. that there actually does at pre-
fent exit an alarming fcarcity of all the
articles of provilion absolutely necei1ary
for the fuppcrt Of the ilaves employed in
carrying on the cultivation of the illand
and that the arrival of new lettlers, and
the daily importation of laves from the
other inands, operates to increale an evil
which already gives caufe to ferrous alarm
and, it appearing upon ftriet invefigation,
that the quantity OF rum and molaGes ma
nufactured in the lAand is far Inefficient
for the payment OF the necehary fupplies
OF thete enential articles. have therefore
thought fit to iflue this my proclamation,
to publiih and declare, that il fhall be
lawful fer vefiels, the property of yho f1b
jeets OF the United States Of America,
coming directly from the fad Aaces with
proviiions ard lumber OF all kinds, the
growth and produce of that country, to
take and receive in exchange to the exact
value of Their ref pedive cargoes, and no
more, any other article, the actual produce
of this colony, except Indigo, Cotton,
Lignumvit1, and Dying Wood. -And
the officers of his majeity's cufoms within
this iiland, are hereby required to take
due notice thereof. This is to continue

them. twas known to the hou1e, that at
Philadelphia the number was Gnall; feldom
more than two, and often not more than
one perfevered during the FELTON,, though
greater number appeared on its earlieit
days. Fact and experience, therefore, de-
mon1trated the fallacy of the danger, ap
pretended from this iource.
