COMMUNION WITH GoD.-There is NO
communion so sweet, SO safe, so dura-
bic, SO honorable or advantageous, as a
communion with God. There is that
in it which exactly suits, fully sati6es.
Infinitely delights the sublime and caoa-
clous powers of the immortal soul. Sen.
sual delights are momentary, and rather
surielt than satisfy, often iesying a sting
behind bni, in communion with God.
the soul finds its centre aud rest. Here
the river runs into the ocean-here the
spirit returns 10 the God who gave it,
here all the scattered beauties in the
wide creation are collected iogether.-
Not the most exquisite painting to the
hmner's eye, nor the softest strains to
The musicians ear, nor yet the sweetest
fragrance 10 the smell, or most delicious
food to the ePicurean's palate, are wor-
thy to be compared with the blessed
ness of communion with God. What
can be more honorable than 10 visit aud
be visited, to walk and talk, and have
joint interest with the King of Kings?
Herein We need fear no evil; neither
loss nor disgrace. We are safe in the
wilderness, aud shall not be less so in the
shadow of death. The beginning of this
fellowship is the beginning of Heaven
below ). and the perfection of it will be
he perfection of Heaven. 1t is that
communion which no power, however
great, which no place, however distant,
can tor momen; interrupt. Death it
SELF, which breaks up SO many connec-
tons and feilowships, does moi destroy
but rather brings this 10 perfec!iou.--

America in Congress assembled, Thai, from and after the Sd day of March, 1888 and after the fifth census shall have been taken, the appointment of the Representative shall be in the ratio of one Representative to every sixty thousand persons in each State, computing according to the rules prescribed by the Constitution of the Uni- ted States"
 MT. Little accompanied this report with few verbal explanations, stating that the committee proposed to establish the ratio of representation at one member to 1000 inhabitants. This rate it was believed by the committee, would continue in the House about the present number of mem bers, which number it was not wished to increase. These remarks, however, were intended chiefly to draw the attention of the House to the subject general ly-every gentleman would of course, be able to make the calculation for himself.
 The bill was twice read, and madethe order of the day for tomorrow.
 Friday, Jan. 5.
 The House was again engaged on the bill to provide for the surviving officers of the army of the revolution, which was act- ed on in Committee of the Whole. The amendatory bill, reported by Mir. Burges, and moved by him as an amendment was re- jected; and the old bill, which embraces both officers and soldiers, passed through the committee, and was reported to the House with blanks filled. The amend ment as now proposed covers every branch of the army. It in the first place provi- des for the distribution of$8OO,OOO among the oficers,an then gives $2OO,OOO to the widows of the deceased officers. To the officers and soldiers who are not provided for by this provision, it appropriates 1,20- O,OOO: and to the widows of those who are deceased of this last class, it gives SS- OO,OOO. It embraces all classes, as we'll as those who served from 1782 to the end ofthe war. It ought, therefore, to satisfy all. The Journal of Saturday says-this he fate ofthe bill will probably be decided, IS there appears to be a very proper dispo- aition on the part of the House not to waste sine in the discussion of a bill on which eve- ry member must have made up his mind long since.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. LATEST FROM EUROPE.

MT. Eynard's correspondent at Corfu writes, Nov. Sd, that the money and pro- visions he had sent out had safely arrived. A part of the money has been applied to ransom 200 Greek slaves. They will fur nish the Greek means of subsistence for two months. If the government succeed in placing Romelia on respectable foot ing, Albania will be safe, and the affairs of the Morea will be easily arranged. Ibra- him's troops suffer severely from want of provisions.
 The London times of Nov. ssh. says on the authority of letter from Paris, that despatches were sent, the Tuesday previ- 6bs, to MT. Stratford Canning, giving in- tclligence that England, Russia, France. Austria and Prussia, had determined to close the war in Greece; and that if ne- cessary, their ships in the Archipelago would prevent any debarkation of men or provisions in the Morea, either from the Turks or Egyptians. A Paris paper says such rumors have been circulated for some days.
 Despatches received in London from the Persian Government, of September 19th, request the mediation of Egland with Russia. The Persians say that they were driven to the invasion, by the re- peated aggressions of the Russians; and that at the above date they had suffered no reverses.
 PORTUGAL.-The government of Spain is said to have at length yielded to the representation of England, and deter mined to disavow the conduct of the Cap tains Eguya and Longa, who have hereto fore favored deserters from Portugal. The

Silveira had made another attempt to en- ter Portugal, after an interview with Lon- ga, (who is Captain General of old Cas- tile,) the Governors of Salamanca and Zamora, and with the Bishop of the lat ter place.
 A letter from Madrid, dated Nov. 26th, says tl,at a column of the refugees were beaten back from the frontiers, and anoth- CT of 500 men stopped by Spanish rogi- ment on their way.
 The council of ministers at Madrid have lately decreed that the arms brought over by Portuguese refugees, shall be restored to the Regents commissaries that meas ureS be taken to prevent them from inva- ding their country that the Marquis of Chaves and Viscount Canellas shall imme- diately leave Spain: that the Portuguese
 
 troops; and that refugee soldiers and sub officers shall be cantoned in tho interior in small bodies.
 Ieese arc regarded as in degree ru- mors but as Paris paper of Dec. 9th remarks, from all it may be concluded, ,that Spain and England, as well as France, ,are disposed to make almost any sacrifice to prevent an open rupture. The following is a passage quoted from the London Times of Dec. 2d.
 Since yesterday we have received news of great importance from Lisbon. The rebels against the Portuguese constitution have entered their country with arms in their hands, by the province of Tras-os- montes.''
 The Cortes at Lisbon were occupied with unimportant business. Gen. Beres- ford was occupied in organizing the Portu- guese army.
 A report prevailed in England, that when the news was received by tele- graph in Paris, orders were given for the recal of the French ambassador at Ma drid. s..-
 It appears that the treaty between Eng land and Portugal was brought up to view in the House of Commons on the 3Oth of Nov. MT. Huskinson said that it was sub ject to change at fixed period, in case ei- ther of the parties desired it, and that this period had arrived, and that Portugal had expressed a wish that some parts of it should be altered by negotiation yet that until they were agreed upon the trea- ty would continue in force, and the British Ministry were not in favor of any change in the duties on wine.
 On the 3Oth Nov. on the presentation of several petitions against the Corn Laws, in the House of Lords, Lord Liverpool said that the government had decided on the measures they intended to propose to parliament, but the moment had not yet arrived for undertaking immediately discussion of such importance and they could not hope to finish it before Christ mas, after which he should take the first opportunity to explain the views of minis ters, although the measure would, in all probability, be first submitted to the other chamber.

Relative to the merits, or demerits. of the
 bill for Districting the State for the choice of
 Members to Congress, and State Senators,
 which was rejected by the Assembly last
 Spring, we are incompetent to speak. Indeed
 we know not what those particular features of the bill were which rendered it obnoxious to the dominant party. We are however thor oughly convinced that the great majority of the people of the State will expect their ren- resentatives next spring to district the State, and thus allow the freemen not only the right of voting for State officers, but also of dcsig- hating to whom State offices shall be given. We Go not speak at random when we say that such measure is loudly called for: h. deed we cannot point to the man who profess sedly opposes the measure. We have frequent iy conversed with leading republicans of this county upon the subject, and every one with whom we have thus conversed has expressed warm attachment to the districting system. We mention these facts to show that the re- publicans of Litchield County are not profes. sedly opposed to measures which are so warm. ly advocated in neighboring counties and that bill for this purpose will not be opposed oy the representatives from this county, un- less indeed they are willing to triae with tba we'll known wishes of their constituents.
