tremendous shower from the black over

tracted.
BY the report Of the secretary, it appears
that aimee October, 1907, there have been
462 cases of impressments, that 2s7 have
been discharged: others who never saw the
United States, who were born in England,
Scotland and Ireland, (and of course Bri'
fish subjects) deserters, taken in privassers
fighting the English, who had voluntarily
entered the English service, who bad frau
dulent projections, sc. &c. remain. 1t
not mistaken, (,he document not being now
before me) from the report Of the seereta-
~ of state, in November. 1907, it appear
ed that there were about 500 cases remain,
ing unsettled from the year lso2.-It is
probable that there is not new one bone
jSds native American citizen who has been
unjustly impressed and refused to be dis
charged on application and proof. There
may be two or three native citizens that
ought to be discharged for their impress,

ment. g..
About Ave months ago Duane said there
were fve thousand Americans impressed.
About six weeks or tive months since he
suddenly jumped to fifteen thousand. This
last declaration haA goae ehe rounds OF de-
mscrstic newspapers. This report Of the
,Secre,sry has damned his hopes at once,
and cut him short in the midway Of his in.
t.ntions. Had he been suffered TO proceed,
within four months he would have sworn
that there were fry thousand American
citizens impressed by the British.

WHEN We consider the importance OF the
Davigation Of the Potomac, to every class O.
citizens of this town, we cannot fail 10 be sen.
sible lof the value thereof, and that the pre-
vention of injuries to it is of primary conss'
ouence. Whoever takes survey OF the pre-
sent stste of the wharves, in which the pub
bic have an interest, and Of the shut ends
which are claimed by the Common Council,
will be aware that something Is necessary to
he done--and that without delay. This hint
lis thrown out with view to draw the attenti.
on of the Council and the citizens generally,
