Congressional. Remarks of Mr. Adams of Mass. in Committee of the whole on the subject cf the Apportionment. Mr ADAMS said, he had a strong preference for the number proposed by the gentleman from New Hampshire Mr Hubbard over any that have been named. lie would briefly assign the reasons why he prefcred that to 48,000, the ratio reported by the Committee. He would state in justification of his "rising at this time, that this Committee had now come to the point where every member was under the necessity of forming a definite opinion. Hitherto we had been fighting the wind upon questions of order. We had now come to the definite action. His objection to the ratio of 48,000 was, that it took away four members from the representation of as many states. It took awav one from NewHampshire, one from Massachusetts, one from Maryland, and one from Virginia. The ratio operated injuriously upon those States not only by taking aw ay one member from each, but in each instance from adjoining states. It not only took away a member from New Hampshire and Massachusetts, but it left an unrepresented fraction in each of those states most sufficiently large to entitle them to another representative. The injury to those states was therefore two fold; it took away a member-and at the same time left a large uurepresented fraction in each. It operated similarly upon Maryland and Virginia. The fractions were not quite so large here, but both were large enough to entitle them jointly to another member. Nor was this all. In the four physical sections into which the United States have been usually divided, the states of New-Hampshire and Massachusetts belonged to one and Maryland and Virginia to another. This ratio thus effected the balance between these sections of country. mi . i y i here was another reason tor prelerrmg the ratio of 44,000. It took away no member from any state. It gave the fufl advantage of increased cumber to those suites whose population had greatly increased, t: which these slates whose population was stationary could not object: thev must submit to the deprecation in relative power, growing out cf the increase of the other states, and tnay submit to this without positive injury but to deprive them ot their present voice in this House, is a positive injur'. The rat! -j cf 41,000 will give this House members. This is the proportion originally established by the constitution, before the first census. The number of members given to, this House by that instrument, w as 05 out population was then 3,200,000. Upon the same ratio, our present population being about four times as numerous, would give us four t:mes the number cf nicmbcrs;making this House (o consist of 2C0 members. The only objection to the adoption of this ratio that incurred to him, was, that it would too much increase the number of this House, lie had little fear of vil from i:s ouancr. r prnroruon as our r.cpulaiion swells in number, the proportion between the representatives and the represented, ought td be preserved. He had rather see twelve or fourteen millions represented by three hundred representatives than to sec 12 or 1 1 millions represented by G5 members. Those who remember, as he did, the period when the Constitution was before the people of the several states lor their adoption, one of the greatest objections made to it was that the number of persons to be represented by each member of this House, was too great. It was considered at that time that the ratio was toolarge. One man, it was urged, could not properly represent 30,000 people. Gen Washington, in the convention, endeavored to substitute 30,000 for 33,000, which was the ratio fixed by the majority of that body. 1 or these reasons he shol d vole in favor of the motion to strike out 4S;000,and insert 41,000 From the Globe.

The Senate yesterday after the mor ning business, proceeded to the consid cration of Executive business, in which it was encased two or three hours. In the House of Representatives Mr. Johnston, of Kentucky, from the Committee to whom the subject ha been referred, reported a bill for the abolishment of Imprisonment for Debt. It was tead twice and committed to a Committee of the Whole House. Mr. Bouldin's resolution on the subject of the Tariff, was further discussed by Mr. Stewart of Pennsylvania, until the ex piration of the hour allotted to morn ing business. The bills for the relief of John Rodgers, and Prosper Marigny, and to authorize the Governor of Arkansas to lease the salt springs in that Territory-, were passed. The House spent considerable time in Com mittec of the Whole on the State of the Union on the Apportionment Bill. The mblion to strike out -lS.OOO as the ratio, and insert 46,000 was lost. The ginal motion to strike out 48,000 was lost bv a vote ot al to VS. Mr. lubbard then moved to strike out 18,000 and insert 41,000, but before the question was taken on this amendment, the Committee rose, reported progress, and the House adjourned. FOREIGN NEWS. LATEST FROM EUROPE. B ALTIMORE, .1 VX. 12. By the packet Havre, at New York on Tussdav from Havre, whence she sailed on the 24lh Nov. the New York American has received all is files to the 33d inclusive Havie to the 24th and Conignani's Messenger to the latest date; L lie most important intelligence is that of the creation by the King of France of 3G peers for life, in order to carry the bill in the House of Peers for the abolition of an hereditary Peer age. It is somewhat remarkable that this act, deemed indispensable by the Ministry, in order to carry a measure for which the -nation had clamored, is condemned unsparingly by all that por tion of the Paris press, which claims especially to speak in behalf of the na tion. Ihe Journal des JJebats. here to fore the able and vigorous defender of the Hereditary Peerage, and La France JVbuvtlle, are the only two Jour nals in which we have seen any vmdic ation of the ordonnance creating the new Peers. Thy censure of the pa pers is unmeasured, characterizing the proceeding as a coup d claU and as similating it to the ordonnances which led to the overthrow of Charles Xth. The King of Holland still held ou against the terms prescribed by the Conference. Meanwhile, they had been formally assented to the Belgians, and the Ministers of the Five Powers. had been exchanged. The London Times of 19th. in an" article of some length, insists that the British Ambas

ador should be withdrawn from Hague,

asserting its conviction, at the same time, that the Dutch King has no reason to count upon cither Prussia or Russia to uphold him in his obstinate opposition. 1 he Cholera in England, still was confined to Surderland, and there caused little havoc. Its characteristic on the continent was rapidly of ex tension, after it had appeared. Of this characteristic, at Sunderland, it seems wholy divested spreading slowly, and not very fatally. The Paris Constitutional states that letters had been re ceived from London, containing the in telligence of the cholera having made its annparanrc on board of vessels in the docks. The London papers, which are vigilant observes on such occasons, arc quite silent on this piece of news; t may therefore be set down among the unfounded rumors of the day. The Reform question and the meet ing of Parliament were still in suspense. A further prorogation of Parliament was determined on, but for how long was not ascertained. The Times in sists that the only alternative for minis ters, is a creation ot Peers; and that to ..a . .1 i 1 1 i alk ot carrying me mil Dy conversions was all "babble" Possibly the measure shall prove efficacious in France, may impart to the English Cabinet sufficient enprgy for a like step. The Gazetts de France, of the 2Jd, thus spec ulates upon English affairs. "Ahuirs in England are becoming more complicated; the Political Uuion established td promote the success of the Reform bill, or rathei to bring about changes in her institutions, arc la cing a military organization, and the cammittees of these Unions are making considerable purchases, of arms and ammunition. The partisans and mem bers of these Unions dwell principally in towns. The Tories are forming as sociation of agriculturalist and landowners they are to be raised in the counties and to be called County Associations, for the protection of persons and property; They are also to posess arms, and as they will exercise great influence over the militia regiments and the yeomanry cavalry, they will soon constitute vigorous opponents of the Political Unions, The Government is extremely embarrassed mean while, though it has declared its in tention to propose legislative enactmants against the Political Unions; but it will hardly be strong enough to carry such a measure, and, at any rale, will get into difficulties thereby with ts own mends. This, it must be admitted, is a somewhat a tannin; picture; though we are not sure that it is not accurate. The paragraph in the Daily Adver tiser ot this morning, importing that the ship Othello sailed from Havre on 22d November, having on boarn twen ty twomillions ot francs in satislaction of American Claims, must be inacctlra te, because the Treaty stipulating the conditions of this indemnity is not yet ratified; and, moreover, because ft years are allowed for its payment.

Scott, we have received Buenos Ay res papers to Oct. 29th. Rosas, Governor of Buenos Aycrs, havingbeen appointed Brigadier General by the House of Representatives, has signified his acceptance, and at the same time his intention to relinquish his present office. A decree dated loth inst. permits the introduction of slaves into the Province in the class of servant?, to be sold at a just valuation. Renewal of the tar. We are sorry to find that the armistic which had been concluded between the Federal and Unitarian forces, has been broken and that the war had been commenced anew. It seems that Col, La Madrid, a Chief of the Unitarian forces, made, during the pendency of the armistice and incursion into the Province of Rioja, and took possession of its capital. Upon this, "a federal force preceded from the province of San Juan, under the command of Col. Vargas, and regained possession of La Rioja, whilst a division from Santiago under5 the command Gen. Ibarra, attacked the Unitarians on the side of Catamaraca. "A variety of actions or skirmishes had taken place, all of which have been in favor of the Federals. The Unitarians have been driven from the province of Catamarca. Col. De La Madrid, at the head of a Unitarian j force of about 300 men, had, it seems, advanced from Tucuman, in order to attack his Federal enemies at diverse points, but hearing that the Federal troops had taken Catamarca, he hastily retreated, and it is affirmed, that with'other.losses, his force has been reduced to 150 men. He was endeavoring to reach Tucuman, bat efforts were making to cut him off''

Bucnos Jiyns, Oct. 2CP-There is no particular news from the Provinces of: the interior this week, except a report that the residue of the Unitarian forces under the command of Col. De la Madrid, has been entirely routed. Gen Quiroga was about marching, with his dieision, against the Provinces of Tucuman and Salta. In an address to the inhabitants of Cuyo,he says, "The Auxiliary division of the Andes retires from your territory, not to

enioy private life but to continue its la bors against the implacable enemies of liberty and the laws. It is determined to give liberty to the oppressed Pro vinces in the iNorth, or perisn in me attempt. It has already liberated you trom the military power of the first of December, and has received the most greatful recompense of its services. From the Baltimore American. Mr. O'Connell is not satisfied with the conduct of the Whig Ministry to Ireland. It has not only, he aid at a Into mppfinf in Dublin, done nothing for her, but it has done much against her. There has never been a British administration that held forth any rea sonable pretensions that it was govern ing Ireland for itself. As a demonstration of the disposition ot the present - . ... r. .. ministry lodo so, let them, he says, dis arm the yeomanry, put a check on the corporation, repeal the Sub-letting act, and to regulate the Vestry bill that it will, as it must, be the commencement of an attack on the temporalities of the Church. Let them exempt the Cath dicks and Dissenters from the payment of the vestry rates. Looking at the ferment in Britain and Ireland, the clamor against the legislation of the aristocracy, and its results, one must think that all these are very bold ef fects to grow out of a system that ''has worked well. JXow it is that its true working- begins to be seen. FEMALE DWARF. "I saw a dwarf woman yesterday aged twenty five whom I measured with a foot rule, and she was only 2 feet 4 iuches in statue, but with all the appearance of perfect womanhood. Her face was peculiarly revolting to look at for, from the extriordinary formation of the nose and projection of the upper ja ', it had the strongest resemblance imaginable to a pig s. The eyes were small, round, and deeply set in the head the head not too large, and she appeared to have her senses about her speaking and answering common ques tions. She walked with case, and tol erable sw iftness. Her lower extremi ties, however, were deformed, and think her spine was so also, but there was no trace of a hump. Her wrist was 3 1-3 inches in circumferance, and her foot at the longest part 4 3-8 inches and in width 2 inches. I never saw a human being of her age as small, or any thing so much like a pigs as her face. I thought, of course of the remarkable lady in England." Calcutta Gov. Gazette. From the Cincinnati Parthenon. ADVICE FOR THE New Year. TO THE LADIES. Let prudery and coquetry be avoid ed. Let young ladies who wish to get married, discard fools and dandies, and their places will soon be supplied by intelligent men, who are candidates for the honorable state of matrimony. Let young ladies cultivate their minds, be kind and charitable to the poor and distressed, and spend the hours which are devoted to the glass and parading up and down the streets, in cultivating economy and attending to their domestic concerns, and Hj'man s Gates will be crowded with old bachelor's; old maids will exist only in name no wrinkled and spleeny faces will be seen promenading our streets lonely and sorrowful, but our public walks and places will be crowded with happy benedicts, with happy brides en bonnoint rlinn-inr- to their arms. Let the hyson and hot muffins he taken without th-5 fashionable seasoning, yclept tea table scandal, and there will be fewer heart burnings among acquaintances. And those of you, who have promised love and obedience to the lords of the creation, fulfil your vows, and happiness will follow as a consequence. And lastly, let this advice be followed.
