hotfr) March %.
We have extracted rom the Ameri
can papers he Report ofthe o.nm,ttse
of Foreign Relations, containing view
of the relations of the United States with
this country. Ii dwells entirely upon
the grievance of impressing American
seamen, and concludes by recommend
ing the passing bill for the exclusion
OF foreign seamen from the public YES
sells and merchant service OF the United
States The bill has been passed in the
house of representatives by a majority
of SO to 90 1t imposes penalty Of 1000
dollars on the commanders Of men Of
war, and of 500 dollars on the masters
Of merchantmen, for every foreign Sal
lor employed by them, to be recovered
in The 'qui tam action by common in
former.
The American legislature may pass
what bills it chooses, for excluding TO-
reign seamen from their ships,but ifthey
think that any such measures will in
duce us to abandon our right Of search
end ct taking our own seamen and sub
jec;s wherever we find them, they will
fnd themseivcs, at least we trust they
will, totally mistaken-The right OF
search is one of such vitalinterest TO our
power, that to surrender it I've bad al
most said even to modify it, would be
treason. This seems to be now the on.
ly' ground upon which America takes
her stand. The orders in council have
been repealed--the concessions upon
the subject Of blockade have left no
ground Of dispute upon that point--the
only remaining subject of controversy
is the right we claim of impressing our
own seameu, when found IN board A.
merican vessels.
The government Of the United States
asserts the brosd principle, tina, the flag
OF their merchant vessels shall protect
the mariners. This privilege is caimed
although every person on board, except
the captain, may be an alien. s
The British government asserts, that
the allegiance Of their subjects is mali
enable in time of war, and that their
seamen found on the sea, the common
highway of nations, shall not DC protect

out going further for precedent, England &
France have each adopted it. ~ To this prln-

tation for military prowess. To the selecti-
on of young men for officers and soldiers,
she is indebted for her conquests and the
almost irresistible force of her arms. This
very fact, however has been urged against
the change because it initiates the policy
of France. The policy of England is the
same and this. one W ould think, would re-
