KIDNAPPING OF FOREIGN EMoRASrs ron THE
BRITISH ARMY-REvoLr or THE RECRUITS
AT HALTAx-The ~ stem Of impressmsnt by
which the British navy was formerly supplied
with sailors, was one of the most outrageous
violations Of individual rights that was ever
practised even under the vilest despotlsms
The cruelties perpetrsted under the plea Of ne
cessity, which constituted its only Justification,
are so familiar to all readers of the works OF
the early British novelists, such as SmolIett,
Richardson, and Fielding, that il is unnecessary
for US now to recapitulate them. They formed
part of the grievances of which this confedera-
ton had in its infancy to com plain against the
mother country, and were only repudiated and
discontinued, when it was found that they could
no longer be carried on with impunity.
twill hardly be believed that in this age of
enlightenment and democratic ideas the Eng.
lish government should again venture to resort
to this exploded and odious system for the sup
ply Of its army in the Crimea. Still less will
it be credited that it should select this country
as the principal field of its operations. The
petition to the President which we published
on Thursday, from certain recruits in Melville
Island, and the letter which appeared in our Co
lumns yesterday, are nevertheless proof that
when necessity presses them the British authorI-
ties feel no scruple about again employing all
the illegal expressions which characterized the
old system Of naval impressment. Our govern
ment has taken tardy measures to put stop
to these nefarious practices, by the arrest OF
some Of the British agents and of other parties
engaged in them, but hitherto, it would seem,
with but little success
The charges against these persons will, for
the moment be difficult to substantiate, from
the absence of the evidence necessary to their
conviction. The individuals who have been
trepanned away are out of our Jurisdiction, and
most Of them will probably be despatched to
the Crimea before any steps can be taken to
obtain their release. The remainder, from their
state of extreme restitution, will find it difficult
to get back here. From the letter of our Hall
fax correspondent, which appeared in our Co
lumns yesterday, it appears that the Irish labo-
rers who had been seduced to Nova Scotia
under feigned pretences, have broken out into
open insurrecticn, and compelled the fulfil
ment, in part, of the promises made to them.
In consequence of the determined spirit which
they have exhibited, orders have, it is stated,
been transmitted to the British agents through
out the United States to accept no more of that
refractory race, but to confne their selection
to Germans, and other more tractable foreign
ers. The reports Of the treatment which the
latter receive on their arrival in Nova Scotia
will, however, we trust, have the effect Of pre-
venting the further extension Of this vile traffic.
Emigrants should be taught that Halifax is the
next proyerbial stage to place which it is not
considered polite to mention.
