Glasgow Resolution Resolved September 7, 1814 That the number of American privateers with which our channels have been invested, the audacity with which they have approached our coasts, and the success with which their enterprise has been attended, have proved injurious to our commerce, humbling to our pride, and discreditable to the directors of the naval power of the British nation, whose flag of late waved over every sea and triumphed over every rival. There is reason to believe, in the short space of twenty-four months, above eight hundred vessels have been captured by the power whose maritime strength we had hitherto impolitically held in contempt.
