<P>_WHEREAS We are given to under&s;tand that &s;everal non-Commi&s;&s;ioned Officers and Souldiers of the Old Regiments in His Maje&s;ties Army in this Kingdom, have of late, in hopes of being advanced in the New Regiments lately Rai&s;ed, and a Rai&s;ing for His Ma|je&s;ties Service, de&s;erted the Troops and Companies to which they formerly belonged, to the great preju|dice of His Maje&s;ties Service, and the weakning of the &s;aid Old Regiments. We do therefore hereby Will and Require all Officers in any Regiment, Troop or Company where &s;uch men formerly in|li&s;ted in any Old Regiment, Troop or Company of this Army, now are Inli&s;ted or Entertained, not having Di&s;charges from their former Officers as afore&s;aid, upon pain of being pre&s;ently Ca&s;hiered, forth|with to Di&s;charge and &s;end them back to their former Colours.</P>
<P>And We likewi&s;e Will and Require the &s;aid non-Commi&s;sioned Officers and souldiers to repair immediately to their former Colours, where they &s;hall be again received, entertained, and pardoned for their &s;aid Offence; but in ca&s;e of refu&s;al or neglect herein, &s;hall be proceeded again&s;t according to the utmo&s;t Rigour of the Laws and Ordinances of War.</P>
<PB REF="2">
<P>And whereas We did by Our Declaration of the 20th of <HI>July</HI> la&s;t pa&s;t, di|rect that each private Centinel in the Regiment of Guards &s;hould have and re|ceive weekly, and every week, two &s;hillings and &s;ix pence. And in the other Regiments of his Maje&s;ties Army two &s;hillings for his &s;ub&s;i&s;tence: Now in re|gard that His Maje&s;ties Revenue has con&s;iderably of late fallen and decrea&s;ed, and doth daily fall and decrea&s;e, We have thought fit to order that each pri|vate Centinel in the Regiment of Guards receive till further orders but only two &s;hillings, and in the other Regiments of Foot only eighteen pence weekly, by way of &s;ub&s;i&s;tence, from the fir&s;t day of <HI>January</HI> next, but that he &s;hall be intituled to the remainder of his full pay, and &s;hall be duly accounted with for the &s;ame, and &s;atisfied and paid it when ever His Maje&s;ties Revenue &s;hall be in a condition to afford it. All which We think fit to publi&s;h and declare, to the end that all Officers and Souldiers herein concerned may take notice of Our plea&s;ure in the&s;e particulars. And it is Our further plea&s;ure, that this Our Declaration be forthwith Read and publi&s;hed at the Head of every Troop and Company; and al&s;o be po&s;ted up, and fixed in the Markets, and all other pub|lick places in all Cities, Towns, Garri&s;ons and Quarters in and throughout this Kingdom, to the end that no per&s;on what-ever may plead ignorance of the &s;ame.</P>
