Gage renewed the campaign on his side W is- suing a proclamation on the ISlh of June, in which he offered pardon to all persons, except Samuel Adams and John Hancock, and proclaimed martial law throughout the province. The congress was about replying by a counter declaration, but were diverted from that design by a movement of more im- portance. The American army coitsisted of about 15,000 men, under Gen. Artcmas Ward. Information found its way to the com- manders, that the British contemplated... posting themselves on Bunker's Hill, and it was immediately determined to make an effort to defeat their design. 'Accordingly on the 18th of June, orders were issued, that a detachment of 1000 men should that evening march toCharlcstown,and entrench upon that Hill. Just before o'clock they left Cambridge, and proceeded to Breed's Hill, situated on the further part of the peninsula next to Boston, (for by some mistake this hill was marked out for the entrenchment instead of the other.) Many things being necessary to be done preparatory to the en- trenchments being thrown up, which could not be done before, lest the enemy should discover and defeat the design, it was nearly twelve o'clock before the works were entered upon.
