BRITISH IMPRESSMENTS.
T. he greatest evil we labour mder is the
impressment of our seamen on board British
men of war. Are American citizens to lie
forever dragged from their vessels by British
thieves and murderers? 'lhese pirates
claim the right of impressing all the Ame
ricans they meet with ; & it they durst, they
would land on our shores, plunder our hou
ses, violate our wives and daughters, and
carry our sons into slavery —There are now,
it is rationally supposed, ten thousand im
pressed Americans on board British men of
war ! and there they are suffering all the
tortures that lawless tyrants can indict —
without the least shadow of an offence, thev
are whipped till their blood streams on the
decks ! ! Ye tender mothers, v/hat would
be your sensations, to see your beloved sons
whom you have nurtured* at your breasts;
whom you have embraced in the arms of ma
ternal tendernesswhom you have beheld
with ecstacies of delight i what would be
your feelings to see these beloved sons man j
glcd by the scourge of British butchers— '
to sec their garments wet with the stream
ing blood-to hear their cries and groan ,
and to see them writhe in excrutiating a..
gonies ? 1 hese are not landed s~encs -
they arc painful realiries. Our beloved sons
and brethren are suffering every insult that
can be inflicted by demous in human shape
Americans! you ought to express your in.
dignation.against the tories who in the fe
u . <u pipers eimeavovto pamate me crimes
ot British murderers. It is asserted, that
287 have been ordered to be discharged ;
we see by the subjoined deposition, that on
board oi/c ship, there were 77 Americans,
and only two hn<l an opportunity to inform
the consul of their situation—they arc close
ly watched, and are not allowed to write, if
they can possibly be prevented. And ac..
cording to the statement in one of our fede
ml papers, there are mo re than TEN
THOUSAND Americans irt slavery, on
board British men of war ! !—The voie'e of
an injured people calls loudly on the gene
ral government, to interfere, and rescue
their suffering brethren from bondage.
The Deposition of Joun I’.atoh, of
bury, iu i^e County of Essex, and Corn
monwealth of Massachusetts, of lawful
iage, testilieth nndsaith
That he, the said John Eatoj#, was
|orn in the town of Salisbury, and corn
lion wealth of Massachusetts ; and was im_
reused from an American vessel, on hoard
1 e English frigate Diana, mounting 38 guns,
r lfith day of March, 1805, and that he
d an American protection, according to
” Jaws of the U. States, which he shew.,
to the British officers ; and that he was
nnferred to four ships of war, and in each
he.n he was treated in a citiel and bi n
manner, by which his health was much
■tired. On board the Diana there were
American born citieens, who had pro
rjons, and about 36 American citizens
jt'sr protections were fraudulently taken
jib them. That he was compelled to work
j board said English ships of war like a
ve, and for not hearing the. watch called,
wa» brought to the gang-way, tied up,
< i unmercifully whipped upon the nnkni
. k. with a cat of nine tails. And he
• (her testifteth, that if an American should
,* 1° «*Capc, in «as« of detection he
■would receive 50C lashes on the naked back ;
tirnL when any American speaks favorably
of bis government, he is immediately bro’t
to the gang way. and cruelly whipped :—
And the British officers constantly tell the
impressed Americans, that their forefathers
were transported convicts, and rebels ; and
that they often damn the President of the
U States and the American government ;
And that lie was detained or. board the Bri
tish navy, three years as a slave. And the
said Eaton further testifietli, that he be
lieves that there are ten thousand native
Americans impressed in tIre British navy,'
and who arc groaning out their lives in worse
than Algerine slavery.

by him subscribed is true, before me.

view to saving the time of the House, to post

this disposition it could not be expected chat
they would agree to reduce the navy.
