MANSTEALIIVG.—We have been favoured by a
friend with the names of two young men impressed
from the schooner Rachel, on her passage from St.
Petersburgh for Boston, referred to in our Paper of
Thursday last. They were—lsrael Foster and
Samuel Tuck ' • and *belonged, as we before stated,
to the town of Beverly. After the capture of the
Rachel she was carried into Leith Roads, and while
lying there on the sth of October, 1811, the above
Americans were impressed by the British man of war

[FROM THE BOSTON PALLADIUM OF THE 3D Cur.]

nimously given to the President ; but iu the House
there was a considerable minority on the vote of
thanks to the Speaker.

.CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRFSENTATIYES. FEB. 21.

- _
A Petition from the inhabitants of Province-town,
to be annexed to the district of Boston and Charles-
town was presented.
In the Appropriation Bill, one hundred thousand
dollars were appropriated for contingent expences in
foreign intercourse. Some call this Secret Service
money. Mr. BACON, who was in favour of the ap-
propriation, said it would not be proper .to state
what services might be )canted. Mr. WicsoN, said
he would not give his vote till he saw the necessity
for so vast a sum. It, however, was passed.

TUESDAY, Fcs. 25.
ELEVF.N MILLIONS LOAN.
The Bill authorising a loan of 11,000,000 of dol-
lars was taken up. Mr. M'CLAv moved a postpone-
ment, to hear more from Europe—he yet hoped. for,!
a settlement—and to avoid a war. Mr. BACON said
this loan must be had at any rate, as we had voted I
expenditures, and there was not money in the Tree- I
sury to meet them.
Mr. ItANDoLPH, before the vote was taken, op-
posed the passage of the Bill, and spoke with much
feeling and force. He deprecated the dreadful con. I
sequences of proposed war. He asked of the House,
what new cause of war is there, that has not existed
for many years ?—What since Mr. Madison's acces. :
sion to the chief magistracy ? What since Mr.l
Munroe's return from London ? Why is the nation '
to be dragged from her peaceful moorings into the
tempestuous sea of blood ? The idea of war is a
wanton one. It is enough to call down upon us
the chastising of that Being, who rules the uni- •
verse. It is true, we experience evils, and what
natiort or individual is exempt from evils. Not-
withstanding this, we are the happiest people un- !
der the sun. Ile said, his heart sickens at the
prospect bef;we us. We cannot divine or pene-
trate the thick veil which hides the future, but.'
we may judge correctly as to -the past. If we
were to go around to the farmer, the planter, or
the manufacturer, what would either of them say,
if we were to ask them which they would prefer, 4
state of war for 18 months, a part of our citizens
bleeding upon the plains of Abraham, an excise, a
salt tax, and other odious taxes—or the peace %Mich
we have had, with the privilege we have enjoyed of
selling, at a generous price, our wheat and other
productions, to feed the armies who are cohtending •
on the bloody arena of the reuinsula.—We have,
indeed, had privations. The most severe, ones are,'
however, of our own inflicting. Our Treasury, to''
be sure, is empty ; but it is the consequence of our ,
own acts. Your remedy is to repeal your Nen- .
Importation Act, and put the two belligerents
upon all equal footing in fact—not iu words only
but in delds.—lf the spirit we have manifested is re- •
prebrusiblo in an individual, hOw much more so In a
nation? Will you go to war in a sullen manner—half ,
joshimed—half reluctant ? The public pulse, I assure
you, must be wrought up with some other tune, be-
fore the country will he ripe for war. If, under the
wisdom and Virtue which have contiouled our desti-
uiPs for twenty- years, we have not been abiiised to
enter into war—if, tinder Mr: Jefferson, the idol of
one party—if under Mr. Adams, the idol of,another
' —and if Under Mr. Washington, tlie iaol of both,
' we have avoided it, I pray you to consider under
What auspices we engage in it now ? What is your
chance? Being the weak party, in case of pacifica-
tiou between Ktigland and France—are you sure, if
you should conquer Canada, that you will not be
obliged to relinquish it to England, and the Derides to
'France? Or will you be so unwiseos to confide in the
duration of the life of the French Emperor, or whet is
more, attach yourselies to his cause, and be numbered
among what he calls his Allies ? . Ile felt consoled,
that he had varied Itis•opinion upon the state of our 1
atlitirs tor several yeari. lie was satisfied with his
own consistency. The forehoditlgs he had made some
years since, are verified. He said, Ire had not come
to the llousu this mond:lg to say much, but to entn
