REGIS TE R, it 4 LE 1 G 3 . a State Our arc the plan.of fatrd!ihtful ime, Cttwarp'd b pitty rage, tolive like brother Monday, August 1 9, 1805. North Caroliri Gazette . wwinz Memorial to the Secretary of ne MowTe SouihCaroh,a lnsuraLnce rmnanv. and of the Merchants and o fheS Seresed i. the commerce of the ?S of Charleston, with me Secretary's Reply, have just made ttie.r appearance. THfc MKMORUL Of the President and Director, Vc Respectfully sheweth, THAT your Memorialists are deeply affected by the recent cap cure, at the very entrance ol this port, ot the American ship Tw o Friends, bv a French privateer. This event has excited among at rinses of citizens, the stronger nrvt onlv --because the .a'.A hm was captured without an colbur-'Ofiibretence, within sight of landbut because she is our ' n- ly regular London trader, and bad oh board a full sup;dfv ot spring and summer goods. The distress and .nv!.. ..rrltoned bv these cir cumstances, are greatly eub.ncec from our having been hitherto De prived of our spring supplies, and from, an anticipation pf the tense qu.ncts justly to beapprehended frm a continuance of similar out rages, should not the most prompt and effectual measures be adopted for the protection and security ol our commercial interests. Your M ?mnrialits -,re authori sed tp add, (Vth. the tact be not detaTeditithv Protest) that it ap pears trom uncounted authority, that the m uuxic f the prize wa the sole indu env nt to the above mentioned capturr, the captor having s id that theV would rel ase the Two Friend, in the event o th ir falling in with am othc r valu able prize, which might be more worthy their notice. s, J m most extraordinary capture, in direct vi l.itior 001 r mat v wi h France, (as appears by the accom- j panunt; oocumnts; nas a.rc.iu; been tollowed.hv events no less a ' larming, ouri harbour bci:.g a this m mientcomplet. l bloikadtd b three Fren h p iv.iteers, (mil more are daily expected ) which examine all vessels common 'and going out of this port, and enhr detain of release them, according as theii value excites the cupidity ot the cruize rs. This degrading state of our bar-' bor, has lu ccssaritv raised the pre mium of Insurance, thus forcing additional sums from the pok ;ts of our citizens, has advanced the price of tveri- corom:ditv, .and created a distressing stagnation ot our exports ; for ihe merchants, not receiving thejir g ods irom a broad, are incapacitat; d from pur chasing the produce of the country. Among these deplorable effects ol the cicicnceless unci hunii.iating j condition ot our commerce, muy be moreover enumerate 1, ilk im mense loss of duties ; those on the sdYip Two liends a one, b;ing es timated by the Collector at 45,O00 dollars, ' - Your Memorialists have the best reasons for believing that this ear y success, experienced bv these French privateers, wiUimmectiate ly al ure others iu sw.irms to our coasts and bar, to the total ruin ol private mercantile concerns, and the most fatal "defalcation of ihe'i public revenue: . Your memorial-j ists have no leas ground for appre hending that British, cruizers, a Vailing themselvesoithe abstneeof domestic protection,wi'.i, under the colour of expelling the French,; as- anu either retain us in the same deaxadecl' state, harrnssinrr imr Vessels by searches and detention?, ! , i r subject us to the disgraceful and n-ii nil y ing oV'. i ga'dons o f t;rati tudc I tor alien succour and rein j Your memorialists are the more' ahvmed at these depredations,, 5e. cause much valuable property is still expected this ,summ-r from other quarters than London, and tttnsideraUle importations wi:l be looked for in the fall for our winter supplies ;' and should there not be ah early and effectual check to these . . . c 11 aggressions ; should our rati impor tations be also interrupted, the ca lamities of the last year produced by the hurricane and other causes, n which this city has so largely participated, would be aggravated losmhan extent, as to eventuate :n general ruin and these great ahrms and appn ru-nsious ot your Memorialise, arc heightened by the well known' cinuinstaiice of many of the c ruiz r., whi h in!et our shores, belong ng to St. J;go dc Cuba and ban a. - a, in which rrceptacles our vessels and their cargoes,-with the knowledge ot tne I ijovernmcnt o; Cu'u, re li.stiuiU) sold, w ithout even the foriiwit) ol a trial, or any cond; innano i what ever, .hereby precluding ever) tu- ture probabd'uy ol redress. Your Memorialists av .il tSem- selves of this occasion, to notice a I iate decision of the distrut court1 within this State, grounded 0.1 an act of Congre-,t, whereby the terri torial jurisdiction of the United States is limited to the short dis- j tance of three miles, or a mariueJ league, from the coasts or shores, which 'by the said court is constru- 1 ed to mean three miles ir.m tb land ; ronstqueMly the midcif channel of our bar being mre man three miles distant Irom ihe nearest land, is prououn cd by judi ial authority, to Dr wnhr utihe juris diction of the United States ! The veiy entrance ol our harbours, iu ull sight of the . it , where vessels 4re trtquentlv obliged to anchoi, vhile waiiing' for a tidf, and with t pilot on li zard, is, by our own tri u lals, aekn- Wilt)' ut Uie proicciiou ot out g. vtru- nentl!! Your Memorialists r frain from ommcnt.ng on the pernicious el Vccts of a system of po icv so p-v g iant with dishonor nd ruin to iul :rade and navigation ot the Uiiiori it large, but more particularly to those of Charleston, from the geo graphy of wbose shores, and pv cu liar local situation of whose bar and harlour, every vessel in her ingress and -gress, is tims subjected to search, detention or seizure. We content ourselves with a bare state ment cf the above grievance, su peradded to so many others, not doubling that the President will take the same into consideration, und being duly impressed with the necessity of some early remediatar- nmcrnent, either of a legislative or diplomatic .nature, will recur to such as may appear mostconducive to the desired end. ' ,s Your Memorialists having thus exhibited but tin imperfect view of their ruinous, unprotected, and de-graded-situation, rely with ccn fi ience on the prompt interposition of the President, to obtain, by re presentations to the minister ol France, and of Spain, (in the e vent of the Two Friends being carried into a Spanish port) resti tution of the said shin and her car- i go, and to cause a stop to be . put to similar spoliations. And your Mrm- riaiistsfurther most earnest ly solicit some immediate and ef lc. tual naval protection for our har bour and shorts, together, with sueh oth r measurts as the nation al councils, in their wisdom, may deem expedient, as well for pre vention of the renewal of the out rages we h we sustained,1 as for the ume and occupy their ground, j permanent safety and protection of our, commercial and navigating rights and interests.

The. observations contained in the Mi-morial resnectintr the local , situation, and the protection net t s- s.'i y for the port of Ch irleston and 1 the adjacent coast, have been weighed by the President, and in j connection with other 'nformation, j wil promote such measures as the j nature ol his functions, the existing l.tw and the public good, maybe thought to admit and require.
