FA. UIONALPLE IN7'ELLIGENCE.

Mr. flume hrou:lit forward Lk ;notion on the Im-
pr.ssinent of Saint 11 last night. alai intrixlnced it by a
Tell of considerable length. The system of impressment, !
the Hon. Gentleman contended, was bld, because it is
compul. ory on those who are reluctantly oldiged to serve, I
and witidedis from li-atnell the privile:vs of personal
freedom pacified by other classes of his Majesty's sub- i
jests. Mr. Hume described the unlimited duration of the
service as all evil, and the low rate of wages as another
grievance. The system of punishment on board our ships
of war he characterised as worse tll3ll that of the slave
owners in the West Indies. The seaman, he said, was also
unfairly dealt with in the distribution of prise money.
The flomeetahle klember, afar enlarging on these and
other topics connected with the question, at some length,
eoncluiksi i.y inJvlne a res dutime, pledging the House to
take the erhject into consideration early in the next Ses-
sion, With a view to such regulations as may obviate the
evils arising from th- impressment of seamen, consistent
with tte (dll..isn.cy of the navy and the interests of the
country. The trillion was opp.riA by Sir George Cock-
burn. The late hour at which the debate closed prevents
our alluding to du speech of the Gallant Admiral, and the
discussion that followed on this interesting question,
more fully this morning. The system of impressment
is deededly oppos:d to the free spirit of our lan' ;
yet it has long (about .; it has gone band in hand
with our naval strength, and grown up with its great-
ness and increase. The decisions of the Judges of
the land have at intervals sanctioned the practice, and
it has been vindicated by some of our ablest writers
on British jurisprudence. If a war broke out to-
morrow, we should have no means of manning a powerful
fleet hut by a general impressment through our ports. Sea-
men in general will not willingly enter on board King's
ships in time of war, and prefer the merchant service,
where they are under less constraint. Of two evils we have
therefore to choose the least —the decay of our navy, or con-
tinuing the system of impressment. The practice never
can be defended on constitutional principles, and can
only be vindicated as a matter of absolute necessity.
Our own decided impression, from experience, is, that'
if the impressment of seamen were discontinued, it
would be a death-blow to our naval superiority, and
that, in moments of de:isive emergency, we should find
it impossible to man a large fleet Seamen ere re-
luctant to enter on board ships of wan libut once on board

service ;should be limits d ; and though we know that nume-
