A regard to his. situation in that respect, might have induced tie gentleman to have spared bis obser vations ; but .they. 'we re also men tioned by a gendeman from Virginia there. It appears very ' strange to me, that we should make our efforts where we are. not iiblertb contend with her.: Ilregret (Kat the-gentleman and others who have spoken, are. not in. tne House the cause or tnerr ao (Mr.' Shelley) ; ( it was" "pot expected (sence is known to every one. , The gentleman from 'New-York (Mr. Blcecker) read to us a letter written by Mr..

The quesuon is not that she I of; examining the . documeiits ,1 will aihall . relinquish any. right she -may j remind hm ot pne, which was pub nave to impress, out tnatsne snail not impress American citizens,; which she has no right to do ; and I sincere ly wish the question, could be ' fairly pur to every, man in the nation. I am confident the answf r would -be ghe shall not impress, one. T should be very glad .to hear some of the gentle men state the difference between AI gcrjqe capture and British impress ment.
