- Notes:
- Caption title: An important and luminous communication on the subject of the impressment of American and foreign seamen and other persons.
- "On the 17th of January, 1806, the president of the United States communicated to Congress an extract from a dispatch of James Madison, Esq. our secretary of state, to James Monroe Esq. our minister in London, which contains many facts highly important, and observations and arguments perfectly satisfactory and conclusive against 'impressments of seamen and passengers, whether foreign or American, on board our vessels.' The re-publication of that document at this crisis will at once display some of the reasons on which the government has probably declined to sanction the recent draught of a treaty with Great Britain ... Extract of a letter from the secretary of state to James Monroe, Esq. dated 5th January, 1804."--p. [1].
- The treaty referred to was negotiated in London during 1806 by Monroe and William Pinkney, and rejected by President Jefferson early in 1807.
