As the session Of Congress draws to
its close, the national Legislature is
nrcs,ed with important Propositions
The bill for the exclusion OF foreign
.e,men from vessels Of the u. S is the
most prominent and certainly the most
interesting. 1t had been our intention
n nrescnt The readers of the Argus with
some remarks on that measure; but the
turn which the question has taken, the
,tHtfiry which it has occasioned among
rrtublicaus as we'll as federalists, made
nc reserved, lest, upon subject imper-
fectlv understood, the peculiarly OF our
opinion might only tend to distract at
time when every effort should be made

the liberty to put upon record cyl dis

rome up from the house to the Senate

conntry and Great Britain, which have
nrown out of the practice of impress
n,ent. Nor do we believe that The pro

Dear Sir-n compliance with the re-
quest contained in your letter of the 18Th
inst. OH the rbject of the in'pressment
of American seamen, can only State
nv be!ief.that the number of cases which
are aiiedged to have occurred, is noth
extremely erroneous and exaggerated.
This opinion is founded on the strong
est convictions of my understanding, 4
rising as well from observation and M
ouiry for some years past, as from the
information you give me OF the tesumo-
nv which has already been taken by the
committee OF the House of Representa-
,ivcs OF Massachusetts, and the absence
within the circle of my knowledge, OF
any evidence in an extended degree OF
decisive nature, and of Il different cha
