convincing article ii our first prige. I: is written

the edicts of Berlin and Milan arc reic'indedi wq
really'can form no conception of the sort of mind
he must possess. That our government is trcach

serted this session on the floor of Congress, that
Efty thousand Arnerfcsn seamen were groaning in

rora itself with all its hardihood, confines the state

desire to p filiate the enormity of tbe outrage
which U pit upon us when a single citizen is ta

The Secretary of State does not jgive a. list, of
