ties TO Bonaparte's " Continental System to

very imp essipe and interesting speech,

the Hon. Mr. Blocker, of Newly ork, on the
Bill for raising twenty thousand fS9elVe months

minisleiialisls are in the correctness OF their
facts
d" In the whole period Of the
European war, according to the
statement furnished by the secre-
tary Of state, 6258 seamen have
been impressed from American
vessels. This includes persons
of all nations, Danes, Sweds,
Germans, Dutch, &c. All but
1900 have been discharged.
Probably at no one time have
more than 1900 or at the utmost,
1000 men, including British sub
jects, impressed from American
vessels, been employed IN British
service. And it will be remem-
bered, that not long before war
was declared, the British minister
offered to restore all American
seamen that had been impressed. "
These men who thus attempt to impose
upon heir readers. have been taught morals
