and instructions having been given 10 the
United States officers on that frontier, and
Implications having been made to the Gov

unlawful interference on the part of our citi-
zeas, in the contest unfortunately commenced
in the British Provinces; additional informa-
ton has just been received, that, notwith-
standing the proclamatiOns Of the Governors
of the states of New York and Vermont, ex-
horting their citizens to refrain from any un-
lawful acts within the territory of the United
States: and. notwithstanding the presence
of the civil officers of the United States who
by my directions have visited the scenes OF
commotion with view of impressiDg the
citizens with proper sense Of their duty, the
excitement, instead of being appeased, is
every day increasing in degree-that arms
and munitions of war and other supplies have
been procured by the insurgents in the Uni
ted Stales--that u military force consisting
in part, at least, of citizens of the United
States. have been actually organized, had
congrcgated at Navy Island, and were still
in arms under the command of a citizen OF
the United States, and that they were con-
stantly receiving accessions and aid.
Now, therefore, to the end that the autho-
rity of the laws may be maintained. and the
faith of treaties observed, ], MARTIN VAN
BUREN,, do most earnestly exhort all clt-
zens of the United States who have thus vio-
lated their duties, to return peaceably to their
respective homes; and hereby warn them,
that any persons who shall compromit the
neutrality of this government by interfering
in an unlawful manner with the affairs of the I
ncighboring British provinces, will render
themselves liable 10 arrest and punishment
under the laws Of the United States, which
will be rgidly enforced and also, that they
will receive no aid or countenance from their
government, into whatever difficulties they
may be thrown by the violation of the laws
of their country, and of the territory Of a
neighboring and friendly nation.
