p. 391

Whereas I have received Advice from Col^o Henry Bou-
quett, Commanding his Majesty's Forces on an Expedition
against the Delaware and Shawnese Indians and others con-
cerned with them in Committing Hostilities against his Maj-
esty's Subjects within this and the Neighbouring Provinces
That at several Conferences he very lately held with the said
Indians and Senecas living on the Ohio they had in the most
humble and Submissive Manner sued for Peace, and had
agreed to and complyed with the terms he had prescribed to
them, by the actual delivering up above Two hundred Pris-
oners and giving Hostages as a Security for restoring All
that yet remain in their Possession, and that they should com-
mit no further Acts of Hostility Against any of His Majesty's
Subjects: And upon these Conditions, that he had Granted the
said Indians Permission to send Deputys from their Respec-
tive Tribes to Sir William Johnson, his Majesty's Agent for
Indian Affairs, to conclude with him a final and lasting Peace.
I have therefore thought fit by and with the Advice of his
Lordship's Council of State to issue this my Proclamation,
hereby Strictly charging and Commanding all Officers Sold-
iers or Other his Majesty's Subjects within this Province, that
they cease and forbear carrying on an Offensive War, or com-
mitting any Acts of Hostility against any of the said Dela-
ware, Shawnese or Seneca Indians, until my further Pleasure
made known therein and I do Strictly charge and Command
the several Sheriffs of this Province to make this my Procla-
mation publick in their respective Counties in the usual Man-
ner as they will answer the Contrary at their Peril. Given at
Annapolis this 15th day of December in the Fourteenth year
of his Lordship's Dominion Anno: Domini 1764.
