On motion of Mr., Dawson, the house went
into committee of the whole on the bill ap-
portioning representatives among the several

Mr. Dawson said the committee who franz
ed the bill had directed him to move to fill the
first blank in the bill with the words forty
thousand so as to allow one member Tor
every forty thousand persons in the U. alter
the wear 1918. MIR. D. said he was himself
opposed to SO large ratio, as 1t would de-
prive several of the states of some OF their
present representation.
Mr. Ridgely also opposed so large num-
Der, as it would leave a very large fraction
unrcpresented He thought the ratio of IS,
600 was high enough, which he found, by a
calculation he had made, would make the
house consist of 1911 members. He thought
that no Inconvenience would result from such
an increase. He therefore proposed the lat
ter number.
Mr.. Potter also opposed the number of for
ty thousand. Such a ratio would deprive the
state he represented Rhode -island) of halt Of
its representation (one member.) This he
thought would be ungenerous, if not unjust
For the purpose of giving further considera-
ton to the subject, he moved that the COM
mittee Of the whole rise and ask leave TO sit

The motion for filing the blank with forty

A deputation arrived last night, 10 Choc-

the north west, including two or three from
tribes unknown to us, for want ofinterpreters.
The Shawanees were accompanied by Greek
who has resided among them for the last 90
years. A great number Of our chiefs are
assembled.
"The Cherokees inform me, they have en-
tire confidence in the justice of our govern
ment, and SO far as the road from Tennessee
passes through their land they have given their
consent. They heretofore had some doubts
relative to the affairs of their nation; but the
just conduct of our government has now unit
ed them in an mistaken confidence in it; their
business here is to adjust some matters rela-
tive to property between the Creeks and them,
and to meet the Chickasaws In relation to
their land claim.

Mr.. SNownEN,
i have often observed in the newspapers
pieces under the name of Charades, but did
not exactly understand the meaning OF the
word, until l read your paper OF this morning.
i paid little attention to the /" Stale, tale OF
Ale, or the Price of Rice s. Ice" but the four
Charades published in your paper OF to-day
have puzzled me not little, only two OF
which have been able as yet to find the mean
ing of. If you think the following solution
applicable to the Sd & 4th, you are welcome
to give them a place in your paper.
No. III.
Your fare when either bad or good,
May please or may offend ye;
A aveN, when in thirsty mood,
May very much befriend We.
Fare.ueA, though stil'd cruel word,
May yet appear a kind one,
1t often may with Joy be heard,
With Tears may often blind one.
No. w.
Night is equally friendly to the Thief the
RobBer, the Topper and the Student. Shade
is the opposite Of Light, vet they are often
seen together. Night Shade, though tempt
ing to the touch and grateful to the sight is
nevertheless fatal to the taste.
1t is understood that Count Pahlen will
shortly leave this country for the Brazils, in
quality of Minister from his Sovereign to the
self-exilcd Dynasty of Portugal. Go when or
where they may, Count Pahlen and his suite
will carry with them the regrets of all who
had the pleasure of their acquaintance. We
believe no foreigners ever visited this coun-
try in an official capacity whose conduct
more generally conciliated the esteem Of
those with whom they mixed INTEL

vigorous and determined opposition to, all in

whereas at the risk of their lives and fortunes,
they stepped forward to oppose the encroach-
ments of arbitrary power, with the Just hope
and expectation of establishing domestic GO

lawful exercise of their natural rights and
whereas among these inalienable rights, they

House Of Commons, Feb. %.

Mr.. Whitbread enquired if it were true,
that the negotiations with the American Mi
mister were broken off, and that the Minister
was about to leave England, and whether it
was the intention Of Ministers to advise his
Royal Highness to give the House inlorma-
ton on the subject
The chancellor Of the eXchequer (Mr. Per-
cival) in reply said, it was true the American
minister had taken leave---that the relations
between the two countries was rot broken
off---that a charge des ofaires was to be left,
and that gentleman had just been appointed
envov extraordinary to America. Under these
circumstances he should not advise that any
papers on the subj ect be laid before the house.
March 4.
Mr.. Whitbread rose to request an eXplana-
ton of the reply made by the chancellor Of the
exchequer to question of his respecting the
negotiation with America. He understood
the right hon. gentleman that the discussions
between the two countries had not been brok-
en- off; but he had understood out doors, from
good authority, that no discussions were now
depending, and that the charge DIES affaires
was not instructed to continue the discussions.
With respect to the correspondence the mi
nisters might as well publish it, for ifthey did
not the American government would long be-
fore the arrival of MIR. Foster in America
Mr. Percival said he must have been mis-
understood By the gentleman, if he thought he
had said that the charge dc aAaires would con-
tinue the late discussions This was certainly
not the province of charge DIES affaires and
therefore those discussions we're terminated in
this country previous to Mr.. Pinkney's taking
his audience of leave. The discussions were
not, however, closed; and the minister who
! was going to America would take over propo-
sitions which he conceived to be entitled to
| favorable reception in America. He doubt
ed the outdoor information the gentleman had
received.

FRENCH DEGREES.

THANH hLShLho'
The English journalists cannot reconcile
the remarks of Mr.. Champagny to MIR. Arm
strong, that the Berlin and Milan DEGREES are
revoked, with the declaration OF the same
Minister, in late report, in which he says,
Sire, your Majesty soK terseVere in your Oe-
crees so long as England PERSISTS in her orae's
in CouncY." There is no difficulty IN under
standing this. The DEGREES are repeated with
respect to America, because America Is taking
measures to cause her flag to be respected,
and because she refuses to submit to the Bril-
fish Orders of 1906 and 1907. The other neu-
tral powers srhere are they who co not
thus resist the Orders, are liable to the de-
crees. The Berlin and Milan DEGREES result
from the nature of things. They Can neither
be changed, modified nor sushended. Every
flag which feeble and pusillanimous nation
suffers to be insulted, and denationali-ed, Can
no longer, on that account, be recognized as
neutral it becomes English. The Lecrees
.yM foreper remain the Fundamental laws Of
France, because they arise from the nature of
things and whenever England resumes her
blockades, the DEGREES of Berlin and Milan
will be re-established in their full force. Our
privateers blockade the Thames more efectu-
ally than the English fleets do all the coasts of
France ard Italy !--MonNeur-
