MANSTEALIIVG.—We have been favoured by a friend with the names of two young men impressed from the schooner Rachel, on her passage from St. Petersburgh for Boston, referred to in our Paper of Thursday last. They were—lsrael Foster and Samuel Tuck ' • and *belonged, as we before stated, to the town of Beverly. After the capture of the Rachel she was carried into Leith Roads, and while lying there on the sth of October, 1811, the above Americans were impressed by the British man of war ►iadern. • [FROM THE BOSTON PALLADIUM OF THE 3D Cur.] The Legislature of this State (Massachusetts) rose an Saturday. The thanks of the Senate, were una nimously given to the President ; but iu the House there was a considerable minority on the vote of thanks to the Speaker. .CONGRESS. HOUSE OF REPRFSENTATIYES. FEB. 21. - _ A Petition from the inhabitants of Province-town, to be annexed to the district of Boston and Charles town was presented. In the Appropriation Bill, one hundred thousand dollars were appropriated for contingent expences in foreign intercourse. Some call this Secret Service money. Mr. BACON, who was in favour of the ap propriation, said it would not be proper .to state what services might be )canted. Mr. WicsoN, said he would not give his vote till he saw the necessity for so vast a sum. It, however, was passed. The Average Price of SUGAR, fur the Week, ending April 15, Is Id. per Cwt.

The Bill authorising a loan of 11,000,000 of dol lars was taken up. Mr. M'CLAv moved a postpone ment, to hear more from Europe—he yet hoped. for,! a settlement—and to avoid a war. Mr. BACON said this loan must be had at any rate, as we had voted I expenditures, and there was not money in the Tree- I sury to meet them. Mr. ItANDoLPH, before the vote was taken, op posed the passage of the Bill, and spoke wi th much feeling and force. He deprecated the dreadful con. I sequences of proposed war. He asked of the House, what new cause of war is there, that has not existed for many years ?—What since Mr. Madison's acces. : sion to the chief magistracy ? What since Mr.l Munroe's return from London ? Why is the nation ' to be dragged from her peaceful moorings into the tempestuous sea of blood ? The idea of war is a wanton one. It is enough to call down upon us the chastising of that Being, who rules the uni- • verse. It is true, we experience evils, and what natiort or individual is exempt from evils. Not withstanding this, we are the happiest people un- ! der the sun. Ile said, his heart sickens at the prospect bef;we us. We cannot divine or pene trate the thick veil which hides the future, but . ' we may judge correctly as to - the past. If we were to go around to the farmer, the planter, or the manufacturer, what would either of them say, if we were to ask them which they would prefer, 4 state of war for 18 months, a part of our ci tizens bleeding upon the plains of Abraham, an excise, a salt tax, and other odious taxes—or the peace %Mich we have had, with the privilege we have enjoyed of selling, at a generous price, our wheat and other productions, to feed the armies who are cohtending • on the bloody arena of the reuinsula.—We have, indeed, had privations. The most severe, ones are,' however, of our own inflicting. Our Treasury, to'' be sure, is empty ; but it is the consequence of our , own acts. Your remedy is to repeal your Nen- . Importation Act, and put the two belligerents upon all equal footing in fact—not iu words only but in delds.—lf the spirit we have manifested is re- • prebrusiblo in an individual, hOw much more so In a nation? Will you go to war in a sullen manner—half , joshimed—half reluctant ? The public pulse, I assure you, must be wrought up with some other tune, be fore the country will he ripe for war. If, under the wisdom and Virtue which have contiouled our desti uiPs for twenty - years, we have not been abiiised to enter into war—if, tinder Mr: Jefferson, the idol of one party—if under Mr. Adams, the idol of,another ' —and if Under Mr. Washington, tlie iaol of both, ' we have avoided it, I pray you to consider under What auspices we engage in it now ? What is your chance? Being the weak party, in case of pacifica tiou between Ktigland and France—are you sure, if you should conquer Canada, that you will not be obliged to relinquish it to England, and the Derides to 'France? Or will you be so unwiseos to confide in the duration of the life of the French Emperor, or whet is more, attach yourselies to his cause, and be numbered among what he calls his Allies ? . Ile felt consoled, that he had varied Itis•opinion upon the state of our 1 atlitirs tor several yeari. lie was satisfied with his own consistency. The forehoditlgs he had made some years since, are verified. He said, Ire had not come to the llousu this mond:lg to say much, but to entn . , his protest against the bill. As to taxes, he said, we might vote for them itt shoals, but th e peopl e wou ld not submit to them Lo n g. lid not mean, that ' they would rebel against them ; but, he thank:xl Go 4, they were the lawgivers of the country, they will soon exercise their power and repeal the law.

But it is thought tdiDpthii of oasgeYptavt that it relates to something of more importance than an Exchange of Prisoners ; and this opinion we ate inclined to adopt, as it is extremely probable that BONAPARTE, following up his former practice, wishes to make it appear that he is willing to negociate with this country for peace, before striking the blow which we have no doubt he meditates. We expect nothing good, however, to result from this attempt at concilia ticu, as long as the present Ministers are in power. They have avowed their determination to carry on the war whatever this should lead to ; and if they do not take a lesson from the awful events which are daily passing before them, nothing, we are persuaded, will divert them from their purpose. We are inclined to repose every confidence in the talents of Earl WEL. LINGTON, and in the bravery of our troops. But we cannot forget that the French are also brave, and that their Generals are consummate in the art of war.lf theu,by mere numerical force,we should be overpower ed ; if that army which should constitute our national bulwark, should be destroyed, which_is by no means an impot•sible event, we beg to know from the pre sent advisers of public measures, how a loss so in calculable could be repaired ? We are threatened with invasion. It is an undeniable fact, that a powerful French armament is equipping for the very purpose.; and how arc our wise Ministers preparing to meet an event of •that nature ? Have not their in fatuated schemes produced insurrection in different parts of the kingdom ? Are not anarchy and tu mult daily.becoming more general ? Are not Minis ters *at td wary application - fere tlit relief of thott sands, famishing and languishing under every species of p ov e r ty and distress by measures as rashly adopted a , they arc obstinately persevered in ? The discontent; throughout England are almost universal ; and what is the state 'of Ireland.? The Catholics, who consti tute the great mass of the population of that unhappy con n try, and who also ionstitute at least a third part of these heroes who so nobly support, by sea and laud, the glory and interest of the United King dom, have repeatedly applied to Parliament, but • without effect, for a removal of fir di.abilities under which they so unjustly labour. It is well known that PITT allowed the justice of their Claims. It" equally well known, tha t the Yntact repeatedly and unequivocally declared himself favourable to their cause. The present Minister', -however, are reso lutely determined in their opposition to ultimatelymeasure, w hich the safety of the Emp ire me y depend. The imPolicy of this conduct cannot f be 'justified by any ground of argument. The cry o 1" No Popery," will in vain he- resorted to. FA? l• -that of 66 the Church in danger," is to be found o&1 in the months of some furious bigots, and ministerial dupes. The idea is indeed repugnant to commoa sense. Can any rational 'non, for a mome nt. serios ly helicve, that a fevv C at h o lic; in our Houses t ° . t Parliament, could eve r effect a change in our Cons II t u tion, either in Church 'or State?
