Editor q the United States Gazette.
Tuesday, April 10.
This morning Mr.. Hilhouse Con. !
offered the following radical amend
ments to the constitution of the United
States.
1st. To reduce the term of service
OF members of the house Of representa-
tlves, from two years to one.
I'd. a correspondent reduction of the
senate from six years to three, one
third to be chosen each year.
Sd. To choose the president annually
by lot out OF those senators, whose term
OF service expire at that time.

thousand dollars,

our ENJOYS, had agreed upon an article
IN the treaty very favourable to our
claim OF exemption, but when it was
submitted to the British cabinet, it was
there rejected; yet stipulation was
made, by which Great Britain consent
ed to Jor6ear the exercise other alledged
right until the whole matter could be
hnally arranged. Each nation thus re-
served, what each insisted to be her
right; but as Great Britain consented
that she would not impress our seamen.
until an arrangement satisfactory to
both parties could be finally made, the
United States had certainly gained
much by the exertions of her ministers,
Messrs. Munroe and Pinkney. The
treatywas, however rejected by thepresi-
dent; no doubt for the most satisfactory
reasons. But we have thought proper
to state these facts, and shall now. in
confederation of them, add an extract
from letter from Mr.. Munroe & Mr..
rlnkney, to the secretary of state, dated
April %, 1907.
Here foAlozUS the extract.
" We had many conferences with the
frltlsh commissioners previous to the
late change, upon the subject of impress
ment, in which they invariably declared
20 us that the practice of their govern
ment would be strictly comformable to
the spirit of the articles which they had
settled with us, s. which was afterwards
rejected by the cabinet. They state
that the prejudice OF the navy, and ofthe
country generally, was so strong in ia
YOUR OF their pretension, that the mini
stry could not encounter it, in a direct
form F.; and that in truth, the support Of
pa lament could not have been relied
on IN such a case. 1t was their idea
that by disseminating the practice in the
mode proposed by them which might be
cone without giving any shock to the
public feeling, this prejudice might be
gradually overcome land an arrangement
by treaty on this very delicate and diff
cult subject rendered ultimately prac-
tlcable. The United States would in
the interval enjoy the security they
sought; without any abandonment Of
their rights, and be induced to yield in
return, as their confidence encrea sed,
the equivalent which we had offered in
our project.

5th. To abolish the Office ofvice pre-

sldent.
9th. To require the appreciation of
the senate and house of representatives
to all appointments to Office.
9TH. To require the consent of the
same branches to removals from Office.
MIR. IA. delivered a speech of about
two hours, explanatory of the amend
ments, and dwelt particularly upon the
executive branch of the government,
whose powers he thought exorbitant,
and highly dangerous to the virtue,
peace and happiness of the nation. To
this source he attributed all the evils Of
that party spirit which agitates and di-
vldes the community.
Friday, April is.
he house of representatives met this
morning at the usual hour, when Mr..
Bacon announced the death of his coll
league, Mr.. Crowninshield. After a.
dopting the resolutions customary in
such cases, the house adjourned till nine
O'Clock tomorrow without doing any
business. Mr.. Crowninshield died this
morning about sunrise. He had been
sick from the beginning of January, and
was at first taken with hemorrhage
from the lungs, which brought on con-
sumption.
A bill was to-day reported to the Sc
nate to fortify the embargo still further.
This is the fourth bill on the subject. I
have not heard the details particularly
stated; but there is some provisionmade
to prevent violations of the embargo at
Passamaquody and St. Mary's and to
authorize the employment IF our fri
gates and ships of war to aid the reve-
nue. cutters in enforcing the execution
of the embargo laws. Much has been
said on the necessity of stopping the
coasting trade and it still seems quite
doubtful whether bill to this effect will
not be introduced. The reason assigned
for this prohibition is, that now vessels
clear out for Charleston and New-Or-
leans with -four and provisions, and are

It may Be anticipated that the British err

all the ports of Spain and Portugal, as a
matter Of justice as well as friendly accom-
mediation. This measure, under different
circumstances, would add to the extensive
