IMPRESSMENT OF SEAMEN.
AS the impressment Of our seamen is
the only remaining cause of the war, it is
all,important tba. the people who are to
bear the brunt of it, should understand
the nature and extent of this grievance.
Notwithstanding much has been written
upon the subject, it certainly has not
been more ably examined and explained
than by the hon. Mr.. Taggart in his adj
dress to his constituents. This address,
we therefore earnestly recommend to
the attention of our readers generally,
and to those of them in particular, who
have not before given the subject ofim-
pressment that consideration which it
deserves. BY this plain statement Of
facts, established by the highest species
of evidence which the case will admit of,
it will be seen, that the evil of impress
ment has been most unwarrantably mag.
nifed by the government and its advo-
Gates, and in many instances the gross-
est misrepresentation resorted to, in
order to excite the sympathy and indig-
nation Of the people. Take tor exam
pie, the celebrated "6o57 report" of
the secretary of state, enumerating the
cases of american seamen IMPRESSED and
held in 6ondage in his nsajssty's shihs Of
war. far the seperal quarters Of 1909 and
1910. IL this list, purporling to contain
only the cases which had occurred dur
ing the several quarters of 1909 & 1870
are included the cases of persons i'm
pressed as far back as the year 1877 and
discharged twelvs veGrs before this list
was furnished-but whose names had
been neve rthole,s thrown in, in order
to fill up the false measure OF our SUI
lering from the practice ofimpressmcnt
Nor is this all The statement itself, is
founded principally upon loose memo
randa made by our consus abroad, and
bearing Oh the face of them such marks
of,gnorance or neglect, as ought to have
insured their rejection even as the
groundwork of a newspaper pars sraph
much more as the foundation OF an
official statement Of facts. 1t will be
sufficient to adduce single instance, to
shew in what manner our consuls abroad
have kept this important account. Mr..
LYMAN furnishes the secretary OF state
with list of applications made to him
by impressed american seamen tor one
year from April 1869 to March 1870
This list enumerates $40 cases, out Of
which 100 are mentioned, without pre-
tending to state, vhere the applicants
belonged to-7vhere they were impress
ed-when they were impressed--from
what shifts they were taken-and in
short, without producing one title OF
evidence to shew that they were i'm
dressed american seamen I! and yet this
item is lugged into the general account
of e257 american sesmen impressed and
held in bondage on board British ships

States 10 be any longer imposed upon

The upper feet. one "a, one frigate, two
briggs, and two schooners, which were be-
tween Cedar Point and Cob Point came
down and anchored in a line from the upper
part of BlaikstoDe's Island to Cheseltine's
Island. Shortly after they came to anchor,
two barges were dispatched full of men to
sound the Maryland shore between the two
Islands, and, after repeated attempts to APP
proach the shore, returned to the ships
shortly after which IL barges were filled
with men and went to the Virginia shore,
opposite Blaikstonc's Island, where they
landed between 400 and 500 troops, two
thirds of which were marched into the
country, the balance remaining on the shore
with the boats after they landed, they
set FIRE to two or three small vessels, and
at night returned to their ships. These
are the movements of yesterday. To day
one ship and one brig, from the upper fleet,
came down to the lower vessels, which are
about st. Georges Island, twenty-five miles
above the mouth of the Potomac. The
number of British vessels now in the Poto-

others briggs and schooners, making in the
