House of Representatives.
Monday, April 9,
Apportionment of Representation.
Mr. Fish said he rose to offer a resoluti
on, which he.had for some time wished to
present for the consideration of this House.
It is to provide for fixing the apportionment
of representatives among the several states
according to the third census. The last ra
tio was one representative for every thirty
three thousand souls ; which gave one hun
dred and forty two members to this House
—A murnher as large as may be consider
ed necessary for the dispatch of legislation,
or to preserve the liberties of the people.
It is estimated that the next census will
give seven millions two hundred thousand
souls, which, according to the present ratio
of representation, would give to this House
two hundred and eighteen members—A
greater number than could be accommoda
ted within these walls, and a greater body
of men than could progress with the busi
ness of the House.
After the census shall be taken, the a
each state ascertained, and the
mount in
fraction members known, it will be more
difficult to fix the ratio than at this time. I
therefore beg leave to submit the follow^
ing
resolution.
And as it embraces a subject
of
great importance, I have no objection
that it lay upon the table a few daysfor the
consideration of the members :
Retched, That the apportionment of re
presentativea amongst tha several state»
according to the third enumeration of the
people, ought lo be in the ratio of
one re
preservative for every iorty-five thousand
persons in each state, and that a committee
be appointed to bring in a bill accordingly.
A motion was made that the resolution
lie on the table.
A motion was also made to postpone it
lor a week.
It was also made to lie on the table,which,
alter considerable conversation, obtained,
53 to 4L '
The house the« resolved itself into a
com mitte on the bill establishing post-roads;
and after making sundry amendment»,
the
committee rose and reported the bill.
And the House adjourned.

adjustment of the differences between the U.
S. and G. Britain ; the treaty to he sent out hy
the John Adams, which was lo touch at Havre
for a dispatch bearer. That Mr. Pinkney was
one of the guests at Lord Somerville's show;
and after being toasted, marie a long speech
about his wishes to restore harmony between
the two nations, how much he desired " a cor
dial friendship with that country, on terms
consistent with ihe honor of his own and de
claring that "the two nations were fm-unutelv
bound in amity by all sou« of tie-, whxh if it
were possible they should he so disposed," he
hoped " they would not be s/rontr enough to
break," prudently dosed by exptrssinga fear
that he had " trespassed upon that discretion
which so emphatically become l it situation,"

proposed to be sent out to this country — 1 .ord

The following important note lias been sent to
gen. Armstrong :
NOTE,
From ihr Minister of Foreign Affairs to Mr .A lt?T
SYPOSG, Minuter Plenipotentiary frotu the U,
nited States :
The undersigned hav : ng rendered nr,
ti
account to the Emperor and King, of the
conversation which he had with Mr. Arm
strong, minister Plenipotentiary from the
U. States of America, his Majesty lias au
thorised him to returo the following
An
swer :
His Majesty considers his decrees of
• «
Berlin and Milan at conformable to the
principles of eternal justice, if they
were
not the compelled consequences of the Or
der» of the British Council, and above all
that of November, 1807. When England
proclaimed an universal sovereignty by the
pretension of making the universe submit
to a right ol navigation, and of bringing the
industry of every nation under the juris
diction of her Parliament, his majesty
con
lidered it the duty of all independent nati
oni to defend their sovereignty, and d*.
dared denationalized the vessels, which,
ranging themselves under the dominion ol
England, recognized the sovereignty which
she arrogated over them.
His Majesty distinguishes the visit and
si
the recognition of the vessel. The
rccog.
nition has no other object but to ascertain
the reality of the flag,
The visit is an in
ferior !
inquest, made notwithstanding the
flag is ascertained, and of which the result
is either the pressing of individuals, the
confiscation tf merchandize, or the applica
tion of arbitrary laws nr dispositions.
" His Majesty could not but attend to the
proceedings of the United States,who with
out making any complaint to France,
com
prised her in their acts cf exclusion : and
in the month of May prohibited the entry
into their ports of French vessels, unde r
the penalty of confiscation,
Immediately
that his Majesty was informed
of this
measure,he ordered a reciprocity to he used

own territories, blit also in th

under lus influence,
In the ports ,,f
land, Spain, Italy and Naples, American
vessels were seized, because the Ameri
cans had seized French vessels, I h e Arne"
ricans cannot hesitate as to the part which
'hey ought to take. They ought either «,
break the act of their Independence, and
become again, as before the revolution.,,,!,,
jects of England, or take such
measure»
that their commerce and industry
y may not
be tariffed by the English, which
■ I , would
render them more dependent than Jamaica
which at least lias an assembly of R '

sentatives and its privileges.
Men without polity, without honour
and without energy, may well allege, that
they will submit to pay the tribute imposed
hv England, because it is light, hut will not
the English feel thatthey would rather have
the principle admitted than encrease the ta
rifT, because if this tribute,now light,should
become insupportable, those who had refus*
ed to figlu lor honor must then fight for in

The undersigned frankly confesses that
t<
Fi ance has every thing to gain hy giving the
Americans a good reception in her ports.
Her commercial relations with neutrals are
advantageous to he r, and she is not in any
manner j< alous of iheir prosperity. Great,
strong and rich, she is satisf cl, if bv her
commerce, or that of neutrals, her export
ations give a suitable developement to her
agriculture and manufactures.
" It is scat cclv thirty years since the slates
of America became an independent govern
ment, in the bosom of the new world,at the
price ol tile blorrd of many immortal men,
who perished on the field of battle, in order
to shake oft' the leaden yoke of the English
monarch. 1 hese generous men were far
from supposing, when they thus sacrificed
their blood for the independence of A
meri
ca, that a question would so soon arise, of
imposing on it a yoke heavier than that
which they had shaken off, in submitting its
industry to the tariff of British legislation,
and to the orders of council of 1807.
" H then the Amcrcan Minister will en
ter into an engagement that American
vc a
»els shall not submit to the Orders of the
English Council, of Nov, 1807, nor to anv

duty to answer the verbal overtures of the
American Minister by a written note,in or
