that a compliance with fuch requiii-

pressed from an American vessel a sub
iect Of Parliamentary notice MIR.
RoB1NsoN, another Member, inquired
particularly into the circumstances OF
the affair, and afterwards said IN the
House Of Commons, that the person al
Iuded 10 was named John Williamson +;
that he hsd stated himself 70 be an a.
merican citizen but turned out 70 he
deserter from British ship OF war.
He added that whenever an application
was made By person impressed, for
his discharge on account OF his being
an American Seaman, if his statements
ON investigation, proved correct, he was
Immediately discharged ; and that moth
ing was SO little desired as American
Seamen, impressed or not, as the hav-
ing such persons was likely to lead 70
