Sir:
The General Assembly being informed that your Excellency has
issued orders for raising and embodying a number of the Militia in the Districts of New Berne and Edenton to prevent the Enemy from committing depredations on the Sea Coast in those Districts.If your Excellency has not received any intelligence respecting a descent intended by the Enemy, on the Sea Coast of this State, more than what you have communicated to the General Assembly, they would suggest the impropriety of embodying the Militia in that quarter, as the Enemy have embarked and put to Sea.
