of the House at the last session, from which
the injunction of secrecy had been removed,
though it had not been entered upon the iour

are galling. Could the genius refuse , to
listen to this effectual appeal to her'fedings?
He presumed not:; he thought Mr. Russell;
very " correct in demanding a suspension of
thepractice of impressment prior to an armis
tice. When we ceased the War on our part,
G. Britain should cease to , impress on her
part, for that was the most 'cruJ , kind of war.

been committed. They were instigated by Ca
nadians, whose arsenals furnised th supplies,
and they sharpened the instruments that per
formed these bloody deeds. Britain, we have
been told, was a proud nation, that met dan-.

war for the right to tax the coloniesi, and was
