The imprefsment of Amer ican feam-n by the Bri
tiili has been for fume time io notorious, and In ma
ny authentic inirances have been pnf-men to the
public, that the ariitocratic prints have no h r.g r
the faceto deny the facts. For fome ti!ne# p*«rf
they have bent their efforts to perlur.de ilutr read
ers, that theie prefssd into ihe Biodh tcrvice wr.-e
not native citizens and had not pro:c ’"••"■’'S. ! ...?
afsertion hat* been overturned by tvai.-nu-s to ihs
contrary well authenticated, one of which may be
found in the laft paper.
Not daring todeny, tli3t iuch acts are sets ofhof
tdity, molt of them are now lil-m» on this io'-j-ct.
One among them, however, h 0 11*Gted h". ckl-nce
to very extraordinary ground indeed. I be h’g.\
rate of teamen's wages is mentioned as a !< : if
again ft the tuff-rings of our « h 01; tars on board
of Britilh prilon lhips. '1 he p 1 -:n language ot th’.s
is' ‘ imprefstnents by the B'itdh dimi.i'in tile num
ber of merchant teamen ; and mull conteaurntly en
hance their wages} the cruelties they alio inflict
upon American teamen when they catch them, ren
ders navigation more ha/.aidons, and therrtore ni.dt
produce the fame effect. "—Thug momy is to torn
jieniate for the lots of honour, liber?', limb ';;:d
life, the American tar ts to be lutbf.ci to con iuua
liable to Britilh imprefsmenrs, to lorcca'nle flog
ings. to be obliged to turn his arms aga'nit a bio
ther?s life and c-xpofe his own, arid to delpot
ifm in her endeavours to overthrow liberty, fora
paltry addition to his wages.
Such arguments will carry no conviction to the
honeft bofotn ot tiie hardy {eatn.»n, they are only of
weight with the avaricious tools of a corrupt and
corrupting foreign faction.
I! Britilh tyranny and brutality is to be counte
nanced for the lake of a few dollars ; it f earner. s
wages are to be enhanced by the murder or prt
fonment of halt of them •—then by parity of roaioii
ing mince meat had better be made ot bull the pa
triots of America to render the remaining half of
more importance to their country.
