LORD CASTLEREAGH AND MR. RUSSELL.

The National Inte!tip:neer, by yesterday's mail, coinaiks Mr. It us.
.e."s account of a conversation with Lord Cast lercAeh on the.lsth nt
beptember. The British Minister doubted the, kulticicncy of the
powers ut Mr. R.,—considered any arrangement as a substittre tor
the tn.isiilig wode of taking Lnglish seamen as almost hopeless,—re.
marked on the great sensibility of the people of England on the suit.
jcct ; and observed, that great hypes were entertained of the favour-
able ellbct at IVastiiugton ot the intelligence of the revocation of the
Orders an Council. Mr, Ft tissell flattered himself that an arrar!,e..
:neat was practicable, and contended for the sufficiency ot his au-
thority Mr. R ussel 1 then proceeds
" I finally olii:rctl, in order to alslvcr at once all the observations
and inquiries ut Lord-Ce,ticreagli, that the proposed unzlerstanding
should be expressed' in the most general terms—that the laws, to take
clKct On !h.! discontinuance of the practice of impressmont. should
proliibit the emplo)wient of the stifijr!cts or citizens of the one
State. ext-..,itting suck only as had already been naturalized on. board
. the publi.: or private ships of the-other—thus removing any objection
the miLitt hare been raised with regard to the Willie clrect of
tif thp lOrmal renunciation of any pretended right. With
regard to blockades, I proposed to follow the same course, and only
to air. c :hat none should be instituted by tither party watch were nut
contormable to the acknowledged law of natillis—lcaving the defini-
tion ut such blockades, And all other details, to be nettled by the
Cemmissioners in the definitive treaty.
" I was dinar pointed awl grieved to find-that these propOsiiiens,
Moderate and liberal irs tlit!y were, should be treated in a in-nincr
wnich forbad me to eltkect their acceptance. I was even asked by

Ntr. Hamilton, if the Uniied States w..thd deliver u
British seamen who might be naturalize' in America
shocked at this demand, I mildly reolied that sod) a proc,
he tliv,raceful to Amesica, without being useful .to
that the habits of s•;amen w re so peculiarly unaccommoda
no one would go through the long probation required b:
dine the citizen of a country where he could not pursue
sional occupations; and that not to employ him in this w,
virtually to surrender him to Great Britain.
