Russell and Castlereagh discuss impressment and citizenship terms
United States accounts reveal Mr Russell's report of a September conversation with Lord Castlereagh. They consider a general understanding to halt impressment, limit native subjects serving on foreign ships, and synchronize blockades with international law, but rejection follows along with questions on returning British seamen. Russell notes proposing authorizations, duties, and potential exchanges of deserters, hoping for presidential approval to avoid injustice.
