in the history Of our country, or, perhaps, of

diets, often without previous warning of their
danger the inpressnent ofour citizens from
on board our own vessels, on the high seas, &
elsewhere, and holding them in bondage until
it suited the convenience of their oppressors
to deliver them up are encroachments OF that
high and dangerous tendency which couldnot
fail to produce that pernicious effect, nor
would those be the only consequences that
would result from it. The British govern
n1ent might, for while, be satisfied with the
sscendancy thus gained over US, but its pre-
tensions would soon increase. The proof,
which so complete and disgraceful subnls-
sion to its authority, would afford Of our de-
generacy, could not fail to inspire confidence
that there was no limit to which its usurPa-
tons, and our degradation, might not be car
