THE wAR,oFlSl2.

The principal causes II our war with
Great Britain were as follows: England
claimed that British slbject ALWAYS re-
NAMED British subject and that she had
the right to search American vessels in
order TO seize and impress any British
born subjects who mightbe sailors or ma
rines thereon. Anothe- cause was the
action of England, who was at war with
France, in regard TO United States vessels
carrying on a neutral commerce with
both France and England, by which our
Shipping intereas Were seriously crippled
Still another cause was a suspicion that
England had iomented hostilities against
the United STATES among the Indians on
our then Western border. All these
things induced President Madison to
recommend "a Congress that war be de-
clsred against Great Britain.
The operations of the army, at the
commencement Of the war, We're singu.
larly unfortunate. The principal acts of
the army were:
The invasion of Canada, and the sur
