I Ttrl; JEFFERSON,
CHARLESTON, July n;
The General Meeting of the Citizens o(
Charleston, held on the Bth inst. having
toqueiled the Governor, as Commander
in Chief, to direst the Militia, promptly
to arm and cquijf themfclves, and to be
prepared to obey the call of the Gcneal
Government—.in pursuance of their rc
qudl. His Excellency has font the fol
lowing circular letter to the Major-Genci
rals and Brigadiers of the Militia, witfc
a requetf to have the fame comrauicated to
the Officers and Privates of their rcfpcc
tive Divificns and Brigades.
Fellow-Citizens,
I HAVE the honor to enclose you thi
proceedings and refulutions of a general
meeting of the citizens of Charleston, held,
on the Bth inltanc and to refer you to the
fame, for the caufi-s which gave rife to it,
and the confcqacnce winch may be expec
ted.
You will fee by this ftafement, that, irt
a time of profound peace, while our har
bburs were filled with their vtffels of com
merce, and some of them of wat ; our ftorcs
with their manufactures, and our town*
with their merchants and fubjefls; while
every aft, not only of just and honorable
neutrality, but of hospitality and friendlhip,
was excrctftd towards them j while special
millions of ministers plenipotentiary were rc
fident at their court, for the express purpose
ol removing every cauffc of diffention, and
drawing (till more clofeiy the bonds of amity
—the Leopardi a ibip of war belonging to
the government ofGreat-Britain, and of
very superior force, has attacked the Chefem
Peakti a frigate of the United States, in a
tnoft wanton and unprovoked manner, killed
and wounded a number of her seamen, and
grolsly violated every principle of neutrali
ty;
That the indignation of every class of"
our citizens is excited by this evert—that
they confidcr it paramount to every con
federation ; and that they have pledged*
molt folcmnly, their lives and fortunes, to
fuppott the government of their country in
every,mcafuie which its wisdom may adopt,
10 obtain complete and honorable reparation..
The great refpeef and attachment a I way*
due to a government so remarkable for i(»
j office and moderation, for its desire of hon
orable peace and its maintenance or our pub
lic rights as our own, will no doubt, induce
us all to confide implicitly in its dccifions g,
but, as it is always fafeft, and particular!}'
When event* like thefc occur, to be prepared
for every extremity, I have, inpurfuance
of their commendation of the general meeting ,
addrefftd you, requeuing you who are the
officers, to use cvety means in your power
to have the Militia under your command
promptly armed and equipped, and prepared
to obey the call of the Federal Government,
should they require the services of any part
of them ; and I earnestly intreat our fellow
citizens who are the privates to second your
efforts by every means in their power.
It is to be hoped this atrocious aft of vio
lence has not been aylhorifcd by the British.
government, and will be promptly and hon
orably disavowed by theon—that on the de
mand being made ample and fatisfaftory re
paration will be ordered and the inlercourfo
and frscndfhipof the two nations restored oni
honorable and equal grounds. Should, how.
ever, proper fatisfaftion be refufed, yotfc
wiii then duubtkfs recollcft that no com
mon occasion has aroused yon—that not only
your rights but your national honor ha*
been attacked, and in away to make ac
commodation extremely difficult- —The Uajt
reparation that even the most moderate go
vernment muji conceive indifpenfiblc, may
be refufed by a nation long accustomed to
control the ocean and little uied to concef
lion.
Under this afpeft, I fear the equality
which we must refpeft and never lose figh#
of, may not only be forgotten by her, but
even former refentmentp and fituationj bt*
recollefted.
Should tins unfortunately be the cafe,.'
should the only fatisfaction which can be re
ceived be denied and things be driven ui
extremities, you muff in your turn remember*.,
your own and the conduft of your ancestors,.
under circumstances much more trying than
can again occur. In the former ffruggle
with Great-Brjtain your population wa»
not one half so numerous as it is at present
—You had neither govenment, laws or re
venue ; a great proportion of your inhabi
tants was opposed to your revolution. You
had neither ammuntion, or the mean* to ob
tain it j or . friends, or allies to support
you. i
You were deffitute of rpanpfafturts, ana
literally without the comforts or even the*
neoeffiiries of life; you had at that time*
the most powerful and viftorioos people in
Europe to contend with. You were a hand
ful of coloniffs scattered over an itnmenf*
continent, the name of which was fiercely*
known to other nations.
Bar, under all these difeouraging, nay,
hopdef* circuinftances, when her rights
