Abominable impudence!-Why, our war against impressment, might be legally sustained in the court of King's bench! The proposition of the executive, that a law should pass to forbid the employment of British seamen on board American vessels, to deprive Britain of her dørling plea, was dictated by an honest desire for the re storation of peace, on honorablet erms. The rejection of it will not "surprise" any who have diligently regarded the practice of the British government in this matter; for the plea is absolutely false. Granted, that Great Britain has, occasionally, given up a few of our seamen, after months and years of involuntary servitude; for which, as they have not enter ed on the king's books, they do not receive a farthing; 298* 26-4* 284 375 184 108* 272 193 (156/12678/40/16 Detroit being, not only compelled to serve against their will, but deprived of the pittance they so hardly earn, by their obstinate attachment to their wives, fumiles and country-but this has been done only to keep up appearances, and sustain a party in the United States. The seamen released are just as liable to be impressed, a second time, as others; and hundreds of them have been. Besides, the practice has unceasingly continued; and Germans, Swedes and Spaniards are as likely to be impressed, if found in our vessels, as Americans themselves. Will Lord Castlereagh justify this abuse by pretending that it is "impossible to distinguish" a Dutchman, a Swede or a Spaniard 80 199 295+ 320+ 335+ 420+ 175+ 1254 27 Isle aux Noix or B.liue from an Englishman?
