London, April 26. On Wednesday last, they began to impress
seamen in this city for his Majesty's service, with good
success, getting in a short time several able mariners. The
drum also beat about for encouragement of such as were
minded to inlist voluntarily, giving for encouragement two
guineas advance; they are also to have two months paid
every half-year, and a fair share of the dividend of all
such prizes as shall fall into their hands; and in case of
being either disabled or superannuated in the service, have
the benefit of the Hospital at Greenwich.
