C2Rgf mar Odietozvn, .f1g. so.
Major General Brisbane having received
under his command into the territory Of the
United States, avails himself of the opportuni-
t. OF requesting that commandif., officers will
use every eXeruOn to maintain the strictest
discipline III the troops under their command
and he holds them responsible that in every
instance where complaint is made to him of
any injury sustained by the inhabitants, that
he will see them redieSced and whatever da-
mage IS done, is instantly to be paid for, and
ch. +ls
tins Cannot be ascertained, to the corps in ee-
neral, so that unoffending people may not be
sufferers In taking the necessary precaution
against individuals who may SO far forget
what IS due to themselves and their country
as to commit acts of plInder or violence, the
Major General is at the same time fully con-
vmced that the whole of the troops are deter
mined that their conduct shall not bring dis
grace on the British name he therefore calls
upon them to discover those who may be gull
ty any act Of plumber or oppression, that
they may be brought to the punishment they
merit and the soldiers must soon find that
such line OF conduct will add much to their
comforts, for the inhabitants of the country
hndmS they are properly treated and protect
ed, will bring every article requisite into the
camp Tor those who remain quiet in their
houses are not in the smallest degree to be
molested, nor their property taken from them,
without their iull consent, and It's being paid
Tor, as 1t is not against such persons that g.
Britain makes war but against the govern
ment, whose folly and ambition has brought
the mlseTies of war into their country, and the
army and individuals in arms in support of
such government.
The Major General commanding has re-
quested tae magistrates of the country to ex-
PLAIN to the people his object and determine
uon on entering the American territory, and
he trusts that the conduct OF the soldiers Will
be such as to reflect 10 shade of dishonor ON
their Country.
