WHEREAS such measures only, have been hitherto pur
sued to prevent provisions from being carried within the
enemies lines, as were truly confident with that mild and le
nient exercise at all times, and on all occasions, of the exten
sive powers verted in the executive authority of this State.
And whereas some ill disposed persons, rqgardkfs of the true
interest of this country, and blinded by avarice, have taken
advantage of the moderation with which offenders against the
orders hitherto issued, have been treated, have persisted in the,
unwarrantable and infamous practice of Applying the enemies
ofthe United States with p-ovifons.
And whereas a due regard to the welfare of this State re
quires such measures to be now pursued as will immediately
and moil effectually remedy this growing evil. I have there
fore thought fi , by and with the advice and coufent of the
Privy Council, to issue this my Proclamation, hereby ftridly
forbidding provlfions of any kind being carried or attempted
to he Carried within the enemies hires, at the fame time fore
warning all persons whom it might concern, that the veiTels,
carriages, horses, oxen and negree , whfch G all be taken car
rying, or attemp log to carry, provisions of any kind, contra
ry to the trite intent and meaning hereof, together with the
loading on board such vessel, or carriage, will' be liable to sei
zure, and on conviction, forfeited, 1 the one half to the person
or persons, so seizing the fame, and the other half to the use of
this State:—And all persons whatev r within this State, are
hereby ordered and commanded, to be vigilant in endeavour
ing to detect all offenders against this Proclamation And on
seizing any such vessels, cairirg^, horses, oxen, negroes or
pravifions as aforefaid, to bring the said carriages, horses,
oxen, negroes and provisions, i practicable,before the nearest
magnate, who is hereby required to take cognizance of the
premises, and to summon three freeholders to lit in judgement
with him, and well and truly try, whether the property so
seized ought to be forfeited according to the true intent and
meaning of this Proclamation ;, and on conviction, to ad uoge
the one half thereof, to the perfo 7 or persons so seizing the
fame, and the other half to be fold for the benefit of this State,
and the neat proceeds lodged in the Treasury thereof.
And whereas it may be found impracticable to carry such
vessels load n as aforeftid, before such magistrate, the person
or persons so feezing the fame, are directed to lodge the veficl
and cargo so seized as aforefaid, in fume freure place, and as
soon as may be, give information to the nearest magistrate of
such frizuie, and where the fame i deposited; which said ma
gistrate with three freeholders as aforefaid are hereby required
to repair o the said place of depute, and there fit in judge
ment, determine, and adjudge, as i herein be ore direfted.
And whereas some of the citizens of this State may at the
time of seizing such vedel or carriage as aforefaid, be found on
board of o. accompanying the fame, the person or persons so
seizing such vessel or carriage or carriage as aforefaid, are here
by ordered and commanded to take into chflody, and convey
or cause to be conveyed, the person or persons so found and
taken as aforefaid, to the nearest Militia guard, and delivered

your petitioner is included in such ad, whereby he is rendered
ncapable of holding any office or place of honour, trull, or
profit, of serving upon juries, of voting at elections for any
Representatives to fit in General Assembly, and of being cho
sen to represent any parilh or diftri& of this Province in any
General Assembly; and that your petitioner is fubjeded to
other dilquahfications and reftridions fpecified in the said ad,
from a persuasion that your petitioner was adive and concern

That your petitioner being exceedingly defirons of getting
to Europe, early adopted measures which he thought the belt
calculated for effeding that purpose, by charteringa vessel to
cairy with him a part of his property for his subsistence, hav
ing neither the means of living nor friends on whose counten
ance or support he could depend, provided in that country;
that being disappointed in that intention, by his vessel bein?
seized in virtue of an ad of Parliament puffed about that time;
he lome time afterwards retired to the back country of South-
Carolina, where he has remained quietly at his plantation du
ring the progress of the rebellion, and has net at any time been
active or concerned in any ofthe unlawful proceedings carried
on; and that, although it is true he was under a necessity of
going towards Savannah in the month of October Lift, he hopes
he has already verbally fatisfed your Excellency and Honou j bis
motives and intentions on that occafon mere very different from
that of bolUliy.
That the said ad of Assembly hath made it lawful for your
Excellency, by and with the advice and content of his Maiedy's
laid Honourable Council, to remove and take olfthe disquali
fication and incapacity by the laid adimpofed, in the whole or
in part, from any perlon therein named, upon the terms there
in Ipecihed.
Your petitioner therefore humbly prays your Excellency
and Honours to take his calc into consideration, and
grant him such reliefin the premises as to your Excel

B, Order of : e Boar:t,
THOMAS WINSTANELY, Clerk
Messrs. Wells,
You have informed us that the Rebel Assembly has paffedi
law for the disposal ofthe eflaies of the Loyal Inhabitants
of this province, ana it is said that the produce of them is to
be applied to the railing of men. It this ihould prove true,
1 hope the Loyalists will follow their example, and apply for
powers to dispose of the Rebel eftatts for the pin pose of railing
men on the other fide. No reason can be given why weibould
not be as liberal of their property as they arc of ours, it is said
they are to give a negro for one years fei vice; let us give two.
we can afford to outbid them, for the Rebel eflates a e much
larger than thole of the Tories; And we have other advanta
ges; we have abundance of Ihips to carry off such property
as we have no use for, and as there is likely soon to be a peace
with Spain, negroes will bring a good price ; they fold at Pen
sacola for four hundred and twenty dollars or one hundred
pounds sterling; at that rate two years service will make a
little fortune for a poor man; and so we will get the poor 011
our fide. For the rich it will suit better sot them to continue
rebels dill; at least it suits our plan. I here are other advan
tages which will attend this Icheme; but as the Rebels read
your paper, we wen't let them into the whole of it at once^
I am, Sir, your mod humble servant,
A TORY*.
Note. # * The term Tory bears ndt precfeij the feme meaning
in America, as it does in England. Hre it comfreben s the
avboie class of people cubo prefer the mild monarchical govern
ment of Britain, to that aobich the Republicans of this country
have attempted to efablifo in its flead. This is therefore the
reason ^ty the American l.oyoliflf glory in an appell tion, which
even the Alinijlry of Britain coifantly disavow when applied to
tbemjelves. Be have taken the liberty to annex this obfcrv tion
to th?fignature of our correftondent, for the information of those
