A PROCLAMATION. ‘ HHEREAS civers Soldiers belonging to the Regiment raifed within this Pro- videe for the ReduSion of $anada, whereof Joun Gorre, Efg; is Colonel, have negletted joining, and marching with the faid Reg:mcrzt toCrown Point,agreeable to Gen, AMHERST's Orders, having received their Bounty, Billet- #ing,and Monch’s Pay advanced, allowed each Man by the Government : And whereas fun- dry others, duly inlifted, and paid the above Gratuities, have deferted theKing’s Service on their March,which is highly prejudicial to His Majefty’s Service, as well as difhonorable to the Province, and the Regiment to which they belong : ; I have thought it expedient, to prevent the like Abufes for the future, to order the Names of both Delinquents and Deferters to be ia- ferted in this Proclamation, and the Captains of the Companies from whom they deferted Hercby in His Majefty’s Name requiring and commanding all Officers, civil and military, to ufe their utmoft Diligence to apprehend, and immediately to convey t6 His Majefty’s Goal in Portfouth, under 2 ftrong Guard, all or as many of the {aid Deferters (or any others of the faid Regiment) as may be found within this Province ; and the Charge of this Service fhall be immediately paid out of the public Treafury. But if any of the {aid Delinquents, or De- ferters from faid Regiment, join the Regiment to which they belong, before they are taken, I do engage they fhall be kindly recetved. B. WENTWORTH.

S R, $-nothing contric: 75 more te the honour and proipericy of a naflon than tie perpetuating the mémory of great &ions ; and 2s evesy onc is interefted in the ‘recording merit, { therefore iatrér myfelf you will permit me to communicate a hiat to-¢he Pablick, througii the chanpel ¢! your enterwining Paper, ata time when fome notle maik of the genercfity ind of the gratitude of this naticn 1s about to beerefizd, in honour of one of ther il brillisn: a@ions whiew adorn the annals of »iy paes.s i : [ will-not enumeratc the various ways by whick inen have endeavoured to e:ernize memorable a&ions, or to retain the remembrance of perfons who have been dear tothem, It will be fufficient to inform fuch as are not converfant in fuch matters, that amongft thole pratifed by the Greeks, the mafters of all mankind in the finearts, that wlich was in moft general eftimation was a fimple ftatue of the hero, in fome aion or attitude according to the fancy or genius of the artift, and on the pedeftal of which ferie of his moft memorable exploits were engraven in baflo relievo. Now as that intended for our late Britith hero may poflibly be of this fort, which is fecond to none, whether tor noblenels of afped, or for the pleafure of the beholder, I imagined a hint of this kind might not be unicceptable to young candidates for the performance ; as I make no queftion that the Britifh nation, whofe aél by their reprelentatives this undoubtedly is, will take care to entruft the eternizing of merit to none but the moft deferving, and will make ule of this fingnlarly noble oppartunity to provoke an equally noble emulation in thofe of a profeffion fo honourable in iticlf, and of fo much wiility to the publick. Every body kaows that the chief glory of fculpture; and indeed of the fine arts, as well as of poetry, is that of invention ; being that gift of heaven which chara- Qerifes the firit artifts, and diftinguithes great geniufes from the mechanics of the profefion. Now though this talent depends entirely on the happy influence of our ftars, yet a noble fancy may be infinitely imgmved by viewing the heft pieces, by a conftant ebfervation of nature, and laftiy, which is inferior to none ot them, by the ftudy of good authors, efp=cially the poets, to whom fome of the nobleft performances owe not only .th_cn' merit but their very exiftence. Phidias, that divine artift, whofe Olympian Jove was efteemed one of the wonders of the world, tosk the hint of it from Homer; and made no fecret to declare, that he owad the ch{cf merit of that ineftimable piece of workmanthip to the Father of verfe. The admirable lines, which gave birth to this miracle of arr, are thele ; He fpoke. and awful bends bis fable browus, Shakes bis ambrofial carls and gives the nod, The flamp of Fate, and fan&tion of the God. High beav'n with trembling the dread [izual took, And ali Olympas.to the center foook. Porr: After fuchan example, [ hope I fhail be forgiven if I quote a new poem, 1ntitaled, Daiphnis and .\Mjm‘.«:as. a Paftoral facred to the memory of the late General WOLFE 3 which befides a number of beaaties of & different kind, affords one ot the nobleft hints for the fculptures on three fides of the pedeftal of a itatue of Gencral Wolfe, that can any where be found ; and on which might be carved, on the firlt, kis condui? and bra- very on the day of battle, lo fatal to him'cli, and o ho- nourable to his country ; on the fecond bis funeral, with the grief of the bappy Matron who gave bim birth, of the 1llufirious Lady onthe eve of wedding this young .hero. savilh'd from ber arms in the flower of his youtn ; ot that great & wworthy Patriot who planned the expedition in which he fucceeded though at the expence of life s ot that augufl Morarch who is {orry tor the lofs of fucn a fervant {o early wile, and that his manificence 1s thus deprived of a noble occsfion of exerting itfetf ; and laitly, of all ranks and cenditions of men in the three kingdoms: finslly, on the third and laft fide, the apothbec/is r{j the bero, and the joy above at the recepticn of this welcome and molt worthy gueft. It would be doing injuilice to the aurhor of this performance to fupprefs the lines 5 which befides that they convey this exalted thoughr, are ex- tremely beaudiful in themfelves, and with thele T hatl conclude this already too long epiftle : bu; for wuich I hope the merits of this illultrious canfe will plead my excufe.
