Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from Speech of the Hon. James Emott, in the House of Representatives of the United States: Delivered the 12th January, 1813, on the Bill in Addition to the Act Entitled, "an Act to Raise an Additional Military Force," and for Other Purposes

To carry on a maritime war, we must have ships; but ships, without seamen to navigate and fight them, will be' useless; It will therefore be absolutely necessary to settle on some princi ple, which will give us as much command over our seamen, on their element, as we have over' our landsmen on shore. With out meaning to intimate that we will or ought to resort to the European practice of impressment, yet, when we seriously de termine on having a navy, we shall find it necessary to look to some regulation, which will bring our sailors within the countryin everwar, so as té make it their interest to into our ser~ vice. E shall have no means to prevent the r accepting the bribes of neutrals, high wages, and 'safe employment but by seizing them, when found sailing under neutral flags, aiter'they shall be recalled.'
