TAking notice of those mean and low Artifices which some Pensioners of France, among the Irish, make use of, both to Enslave their own Countrymen, and seduce the Soldiers of Their Majesties Army from their Obedience: And to the end that at once I may give an answer to their Scandalous Billets, which they daily scat­ter in our Quarters, and the false Reports they so Industriously spread in their own to de­lude their Followers, and make them obstinate to their Ruine: I have thought fit to declare, that an Irish Roman Catholick Gentleman, that came out of the Enemies Quarters, upon humble Application to their Ma­jesties, has had the Honour to be fully informed of the Mercy and Indul­gence designed to such of the Irish Army, and Inhabitants of all Conditions as shall like Dutifull Subjects, submit to Their Government: which Con­descentions would no doubt, prove satisfactory, if once communicated to those, whose Interest and Duty it is to lay hold of them. But this has hitherto been obstructed by some, who fight for the Money of France, not the Interest of Ireland, and the Gentleman denied a Passport, which he has often sollicited in order to make his Message known. Out of Compassion there­fore to these People, who by such ill Arts are kept in Ignorance of the Grace that is intended them, and for whom it will be too late to sue for Mer­cy, unless they speedily embrace it, I have taken this way of making it Pub­lique, That I have Authority, and am ready to grant reasonable Terms to those who are willing to return to their Duty, Their Majesties hereby gi­ving Demonstration to the World, that it is not Their Desire to oppress the Inhabitants of this Nation, either by Persecuting them for their Religion, Ruining them in their Estates and Fortunes, or Enslaving them in their Liberty, since after all the Provocations They have received, They have a greater Regard to the Preservation of the Irish, than giving way to that just Resentment, which their Behaviour has deserv'd.
