By H R [Highness the Prince of Wales,
Regent of the United Kinedom" of Great
Britain and Ireland, in the name and on the
behalf of his Majesty,
A PRGCLAJLA TION,
For recalling and prohibiting his majesty’s
natural born stibjects from serving in the
sea or land forces of the United States of
Ameraca.
Grorc, P. R.
Whereas
founded upon the principles of general law
by the ancient law of this realm
the natural born subjects of His Majesty
cannct, cither by swearing aliegiance to a-
ny other Princes or States, either alone or
concurring with their own, discharge them-
selves, or be discharged from the natural al-
legiance which, from their birth, they
owe to lis majesty, his hess and
heirs and successors, which natural allegi-
ance being -antecedant and paramount to
any other claim of allegiance whatsoever,
cannot, by these or any other such acts, be
withdrawn or cancelled :
And wheras it hath been represented to
us, that divers of the natural Lorn subjects
of his Majesty have accepted letters of nat-
uralization, or certificates of citizenship,
from the United States of America, and
have sworn allegiance to the said States, &
professed to renounce - the natural allegi
ance which they owe, and must continue to
owe, to his Majesty, his ncirs & successors
and have, in violation of such natural allegi-
ance, engaged by sea and land, in hostile
and traitorous acts against his Majesty ;
Aud whereas some of the said natural
born subjects of Lis majesty may have been
induced so to act, from an erroneous per-
suasion & belief, which they may have been
led to entertain, that theirduty of natural
allegiance was capable of being dissolve
or withdrawn from his majesty, his heirs
and successors ; we have therefore thought
fit. in the name of and behalf of his majesty,
and by-and with the advice of his majesty’s
privy conrcil, to issue this Proclamation
hercby warning all the natural born sub-
jects of his majesty, that the natural allegi-
ance which they owe, and of right ougl:t
to hear and pay, to his majesty, his heirs
and succi ssors, cannot, either by their own
acts, or by the acts of any foreign Princes
or States, either alone, or concurrent with
‘their own, be dissolved or withdrawn {rom
his Majesty, his heirs or successors; And
we have further thought fit, in the name and
on the behall of his majesty,and by and with
the advice aforesaid, in consideration that
sonic of the said naturai born subjects of
Lis majesty, may, through delusion of error,
have so acted as aforesaid. by this Procla-
mation, to publish and declare, that all such
’
the natural bo. subjects af his majesty who
four mouths
{rom the date tieveof, withdraw themselves
from the service of the United States, shall
having soac edshall, within
~
receive his majesty’s gracious pardon :v—
And we do moreover, in the name and on
the behalf of his majesty, and by and with
the advice aforesaid, hereby also publish &
declare, that all natural born subjects of hig
majesty who'shall hereafter voluntarily en-
ter, or having entered shall voluntarily con-
tisiue to serve in the land forces, or on board
any of the ships or vessels of war of the said
United States of America, or in the private
ships or vessels of war belonging to the
citizens of the said States at enmity = with
his majesty, being thereby guilty of high
treason, shall be punished with the utmost
severity of the law.
Given at the Court at Carlton-house, the
twenty third day of July, one thousand
eight hundred and fourteen, in the fifty
fourth year of his majesty’s reign.

Extract of a letter from Sack-
ett’s Harbor, dated, Oct. 7th.
“ The enemy’s ship is ready
for sea, excepting that her sails
are not bent, which it is expec-
ted they will be by the 12th.
She is a large vessel of 102
guns ; her lower deck thirty-
four 32 pounders, has 62 pound
caronades on her upper deck
besides other guns It wili be
impossible for our fleet to with-
snl the ‘nemy on the lake.
Probably iv: first object of the
enemy wll be to relieve Dram-
mond’s army, which is in great
want of supplies, Bread is
said to be a dollar a pound with
them: The enemy made an at-.
tempt to'send supplies up to
them by two ships some Jays
since, but they were “driven
back by Chauncey.
“It is expected an attack
will be made by sea and land
in a fiw days. The enemy is,
assembling his forces at King
ston for that purpose Drum-
mond it is said, will lead the at-
tack by land. :
“The harbor is complete-
ly surrounded by breast wer is
and entrenchments, and very
preparation making to give the
foe a warm reception. A large
additional militia force has been
called out, and is repairing to
the harbor with alacrity.

is said are fortifiing at Chippa-
wa & Queenstown.” The let-
ter adds that the gallant major
Birdsall is recovering from his
wounds

The House of Representa-
tives have passed, after a de-
bate of more than usual pith’
and brevity, a resolution direc~
ting the Military Committee to
inquire into the expediency of
granting to each deserter
from the enemy an- hundred
acres of Public Land, on con-
dition he shail settle the same.
We are glad to find that it is
