yernor and council, military and 
- naval forces, of the colony ef De- 
merary and its dependencies, to 
"surrender the said colony to his 
Britannic majesty’s forces under 
our command, and to place the 
said colony under his majesty’s pros 
teétion, and quietly and peaceably 
to submit to his majesty’s govern- 
ment. 
In which case the inhabitants 
shall enjoy full security to their 
persons, andthe free exercise of 
their religion, with, the full and 
immediate enjoyment of all private 
property, whether on shoreor afleat 
(excepting such as may appear to 
belong to the subjects of the French 
republic) according to their ancient 
laws and usages, or such otber as 
may be determined upon previous 
to the colony’ s being placed under 
his majesty’s government, upon the 
most liberal and beneficial terms. 
That in the event of the colony’s 
remaining under the British govern- 
ment at the conciusion of a general 
peace, it shall enjoy such commer- 
cial rights and privileges as are en- 
joyed by the British colonies in the 
West Indies. With regard to the 
military and naval forces, that the 
officers and men of the land forces 
shall, if agreeable to themselves, 
be re rived into the British pay, with 
leave, at the restoration of the 
Stadtholder, to return into bis ser- 
vice. Each non-commissioned of- 
ficer and soldier shall receive, upon 
taking the oath of allegiance to his 
Britannic majesty to serve him 
faithfully during the war, where it 
may be thought proper to employ 
{74 
him, the sum of one hundred 
guilders. 
The officers to receive, under the 
same conditions, the allowance of 
two hundred days bat, baggage, 
and, forage money, as. paid to the 
British officers. 
The offcers_and men of the ma- 
rine forces cannot be taken into 
the British sery:ce until his majes- 
‘ty’s pleasure, shall be known, but 
shall receive pay according to their 
rank, and .every indulgence. that

That the govei nor and all civil 
officers, after having taken the 
oaths-of allegiance to, his majesty, 
‘which will be administered by, ma- 
jor-general Whyte, are (if . they 
_chuse) to remain in their respec- 
‘tive situations, (excepting those 
who have shewn a decided par- 
tiality to the French interest) the 
governor only resigning the milita- 
Ty command. Should such liberal 
terms be refused, the governor, 
council, and all concerned, must 
be answerable for the consequen- 
ces, as an immediate attack will be 
made by the land and sea forces, 
which will render every resistance 
vain,
