"Wednesday, January 8, 1794-
AND
SINCE the adjournment of the legis
lature, the war in Europe having become
more general; andfomenationswith whom
we are in the habits of friendftiip and com
merce involved therein, the Prefidentofthe
United States thought i expedient to is
sue his Proclamation declaring the neutra
lity of the United States, and enjoining
and requiring the citizens thereof to adopt
a conduit friendly and impartial to the
Belligerent powers, and as the letter which
communicated the proclamation to me,
exprefled a confidence that injunctions so
interesting to the happiness and prosperity
of the United States would have the be
nefit of my aid to promote their general
and it net observance by the citizens of
thk state, I thought it my duty to give
it every support in my power, and there
fore ifTuiid a proclamation exhorting the ci
tizens of this state to observe with ftritt
nefs and 'fidelity the injunctions contained
in the proclamation of the President of the
United States.
FAYETTEVILLE.
To the Honorable the General AJfembly of
An armed vellel of one of the powers
engaged in the present war, captured a
(hip of another lying in the Bay of Dela
ware, and consequently under the protec
tion of the United States, to prevent a
similar proceeding from taking place again,
and to remedy it in cafe it fliould, I receiv
ed inftru&ions from the President to in
terpose in all cases of hostility committed
between the Belligerent powers, within
the jurifdi&ion of this Hate, and that I
fliould with the aid of the militia detain
the parties firft aggressing, until I (hould
communicate the cafe to the President for
his ultimate decision thereon.
Notwithstanding the amicable and im
partial disposition towards the Belligerent
powers, was declared on behalf of the Uni
ted States, some occurrences soon happen
ed which obliged the President to take
some further steps to preserve the neutra
lity.
In consequence of two veflels having
been fitted out of the port of Charleston,
South-Carolina, to ast as privateers on
behalf of one of the parties at war, I re
ceived further inftruftions, that should
any occurrence of that nature take place
in this state that I Jhould effectually in
terpose to put a stop to it —as soon as I
received those inftruftions I issued or
ders to the commanding officer of the
counties in which the sea ports lay, and
where such occurrences might happen
to put them ftriftly in force, and wa6
in hopes that the fitting out of privateers
on behalf of the parties at war would
not take place in this State In this
expectation I was however deceived—
I received a letter from Colonel Read the
Colle&or of the port of Wilmington,
that a (loop had been fitted out of that
port and was then cruising off that har
bor. I felt myfelf much mortified that
an occurrence of that nature should have
taken place within this state, apd that so
little attention had been paid to my or
ders by Lt. Col. Bloodworth, to whom
they had been delivered, Colonel Camp
bell having resigned.
I therefore wrote to them reqnefting
to be informed of the reasons which in
duced him to disobey the orders he had
received'—in answer to which I received
a letter from him of the 13th of Oft.
in which he endeavors to account for his
conduit and at the fame time enclosed
his commission, which he hoped I would
receive as a resignation of his appoint
ment; as this letter, with the other letters
on this fubjeft will be laid before you,
I shall not make any comments on it.
The fieps that had been previously
taken by the Executive of the United
States, to preserve the neutrality and to
prevent the fitting out of privateers on be
half of the parties at war not being fuffi
cient to answer the purposes intended, 1
received in September further infractions
Gentlemen,
the State of North-Carolina.
from the President not to permit any arm
ed veflel that had been, or ftionld be ori
ginally fitted out in any of the ports in the
United States as a cruiser or privateer by
either of the parties at war, to hav? efy
lum in any of the ports within this state,
and that should any of them arrive in any
of the ports of the state of North-Carolina,
that I (hould cause them to be ordered to
depart, and in cafe of refufal, to take effec
tual measures to oblige them to depart,
and further that if any such veflel (hould
have sent or brought subsequent to the jth
day of August lalt, or (hould thereafter
bring or fend any prize or prizes into any
port or harbor within this state, that I
(hould cause such a prize or prizes to be
secured by the militia for the purpose of
being restored to the former owners.
On receiving those inllrudtioss, 1 wrote
a letter in which I enclosed a copy of them,
and requested Col. Read to deliver them
to Major Thomas Wright as I thought it
would be quite ufelels to trouble Lieut.
Col. Bloodworth with any further orders
as he had not paid any attention whatever
to those which he had received before.
On the 15th of October, I received
letters from Col. Benj. Smith and Major
Wright, informing me that the (locp
which had been fitted out of the port of
Wilmingten, had returned into that port,
had brought with her, a Spanifli brig her
prize, that they had made some dispositi
ons to secure the prize, but had been pre
vented by the officious interposition of
some person in Wilmington who sent down
a boat in the night to give Captain Her
vieux notice of their intentions; who in
consequence of it sent his prize to fca.
That Col. Smith had given Capt. Her
vieux orders to leave the port, who gave
in excuse for his not complying with them,
that he had put in there in dillrefs and
could not go to sea until his people had
recovered and his veflel was refitted, to
gether with some other reasons mentioned
in his letters to Col. Smnh and Major
Wright.
From the deposition marked No. 2,
which will be laid before you, it appeared
to me that the vessel was in a diftrell'ed li
tuation, and as the Prefidcnt's inftructioni
did not comptehend a cafe of that nature
I wrote to those gentlemen that they
might permit her to remain in port for such
time as was absolutely neceifary to have
her refitted for sea, and then to compel
her to depart.
Previous to Capt. Hervieux's receiv
ing the information from Wilmington, he
had put a trunk or chelt containing he
fays, between 30 and 40,000 dollars into
the hands of Capt. Cook of the Revenue
Cutter, which had been feizedand lodged
in the hands of the deputy marlhal of the
United States for the North Carolina dif
tritt. From Major Wright's ietter to
ine it appears that the money was taken
out of the Spaniih brig ( wiiieh lias been
since confirmed by feme depofjtions tiiat
have been lent me) — I wrote to major
Wriglit to call 011 the marlhal and give
him orders to keepthe money'till Ilhonld
receive fiirthev inttruftions from the Pre
sident, to whom I wrote a full state of the
cafe: I feel rnyfelf extremity hurt at the
conduit of 'the iv/litia of the town of
Wilmington, who being called upon by
major Wright to go on a party to seize
the brig, generally refufed to go, and he
could only get 4 persons out of that town
to go with him. I must here beg leave
to recommend to the attention of the le
giflaturetlie revival of the militia law, so
as to make it conformable to the law of
Congrifs, and by proper penalties to com
pel the service of the militia at all times
when it my be required.
The present defencelefs situation of
our ports demands yuur most lei lots at
tention, fhouldany unfortunate circuin
ftances involve ui a party in the pre
sent war, the most tr. : fling privateer
might interrupt our commerce and in
sult our harbors, which be prevent,
