which, although inconsistent

taken place, would have been totally abandoned.-
In conclusion, he said, that had a signal act of British
vengeance fallen on some of those towns which had
shown particular hostility to Great Britain in the
first instance, from a complete and awful destruction
of their houses and property, an effect might haye
been made, which would have tended to lessen, those
high opinions of the advantages which were to be
derived from war by the advocates of that measure.—
, For the sake of humanity he could not help lament-
ing, that some such course had not been adopted, as
he was convinced that many of those lives, which in
the present state of affairs, must necessarily be sacri-
ficed, would be spared. That this measure had not
been adopted, he believed originated from a strong
feeling, but a feeling not nerved by humanity.—
[llear,hearfl
Mr. CHOKER said, that the Right Hon. Gentle.
man (Mr. Canning) had been mistaken as to the
course which had been pursued by his Majesty's Mi.
nisters on the commencement of the preened ISostllls
ties. Fqr, that the moment it was thought war was
inevitable, in May list, orders were dispatched to
all the Commanding Officers on the American sta.
tion, that the moment the slightest act of aggression
took place, they were, in the common phrase of
orders of that description, to " sink, burn, and
destroy," the ships of the enemy. These were the
instructions given, and these instructions had been
carried into effect. [near, hear, hear!) Oo the
very day the declaration of war was made known
in America, Commodore Rodgers put to with.
out receiving instructions to that els ct from his
Government, and on the day following the British
fleet were off Boston, in expectation of finding him ;
when they found he had sailed, they done that which
they considered of the greatest consequence, and
in which the country must agree—to protect the
Jamaica fleet ; which, after they had seen into a safe
latitude, they fell in with Commodore Rodgers,
and followed him for three days. Not one of the
ships ander the command of Sir J. B. Warren re.
mained an hour longer in the port of Halifax, than
was necessary for them to refit, not even the Ad-
miral's flag-ship, as the flag was hoisted on board of
a small vessel under repair. lie would not under.
take to say that the distribution of the Admiral's
force was proper, but he would contend, that he
had a sufficient force under his command to
answer every expediency ; and when the details
of the Admiral were known, he trusted that it
would be seen, that the force was properly dis-
posed of.—Much had been said on the sub-
ject of blockading the ports, of the United States ;
this, in the opinion of all professional min of the
navy, was impossible, exc..pt New York and the
Chesapeake, and those had been blockaded—Corn-
modore Rodgers also knew it, for which reason he
never attempted to rrtake either of them. It had
been *stated, that we give a certificate of citizenship
to. foreign seamen who were in oar service, and that
was no more than what the Americans did. That was
not the case; for a foreigner in our service, after
having served two years, comes and says—" I have
wages due to me from a merchant; I am entitled to
prize-money, but I sold my certificate to a Jew ;
you give me a discharge, but I caunet recover my
money ." The Admiralty, in those cases, grant a
certificate of citizenship, and desi:r., their owl& Soli-
citor to enter a suit for the recovery of the money.—
Impressed American seamen's certificates of citi-
zenship were always paid the greatest attention
by the Board of Admirl::;, although they knew
they were often obtained by fraud from the Ameri-
can Government, when they ansaered_the descrip.
tion of the person presenting them.
Several of the Members explained ; after which the
question was put, and carried nem. con.; and a
Committee was appointed to prepare and carry up

could be effected powerful enough to place the wheel
of authority on that axis, whereon it turned a few
years ago, the honest courier would be as logical, as
eloquent, as learned an advocate on the other side.—
Such is the brirf conclusion to be drawn by the pub-

quarter, at all events. We will now terminate cur
painful but urgent duty, for the present, by ut.

when America is informed of what passed in oar
Parliament last night, a louder voice for vigorous war
i may be heard in their Senate; and those very men
whose interest it has been, and still is, to preserve
peace with England, may be silent upon the subject,
from considering the improbability of avoiding war
to a certain extent or period ; and from the fear of
incurring the censure of an unpatriotic bias by longer
hanging on the irm of Government. The Militia,
