Such being The public rights and The nu-
nicipal law Of the United States, no solici
,ude on the suljeet Was entertained by this
government, wien, year since, the British
Parliament passed an act Tor the enlistment
Of foreigners in the military service Of Great !
Britain. Nothing on the face Of the act, or
in ITS public history, Indicated that the
British goYernment proposed 10 attempt re-
cluiiiRg in tie United slate,; nor did it ev-
q give intimaiion Of such intention TO his 7
government 1twds matter OF surprise, (

extensively. wirh iittle OF no disguise. Or .
diHary leg,tl Steps were taken to arrest and
punish parties concerned, and 80 put an end
10 se,s infringing the municipal law and. de-
losa,oIy 10 our sovereignty. Meanwhile
suitable Representations on tie subject were
addressed to the British government.
5s Ehereupon il became known, by The ada
mission Of the British go,ernmnt itsalf,
that The at emp 10 draw recruits from This
county originated siih it., or at least had
its approval and sanction; but il also ap,
reared that The public agents engaged IN It
had "stringent instructions" not to violate
the municipal law OF the United Sta.es.G Il
Its ditficult to understand how it should
have been supposed that troops could be
"a sel l.ere by Grea BGtian, without VIOLA
lion Of tie municipal law. The nnmistaka-
ble objects Of the law was TO prevent every
such aoi, which.,l Eerform'd, must be el-
lker in violation Of The law, or IN studied
evasion of il; and in either alternative. the
act done would be alike injurious to The SOW
iereiguty of lie United States.
la the meantime, the matter acquired
additional importance, BY tile Ieeiulm' is
in the United Stats not beng discontinued
nd the disclosure Of the fact that they were
prosecuted upon asystematic plan devised
by official authority; that recruiting rendo
Won, had been opened in our principal cities
!. and depots for The reception OF recruits eS'
ltab!ished on our frohtiei; and The whole bu'
siness conducted under the supervision and
! bf the regular co operation Of Brush OH
GERS civil and military, some III the North
! American provinces, aud some IN the un'-
ted States. The completely of those elieers
IN an undertaking which colll only be ac-
complishad bg deil ing our laws, throwing
suspicion over our attitude OF neutrality,
and disregardng our territorial rights, IS
concusvely proved by the evidence "lici.
