IVA'CAWAiS, MARCH ov, ..i Congressional. 1 lie bill appot tinning representatives to.congicss througtiout the states, has, no doubt, become a law, and Indiana is entitled to three only, for ten years to come ' A e regret the prevailing disposition ot that body, to concentrate power in the hands of a few we particularly regiet, that our young state should be ielt by the present ratio, (which is 40,000) with a fraction so latge as to justify the be ief, that before the first election, our numbers would entitle us to another. These considerations however, will render the approaching election in August, the more important, and interesting Indeed it is now full time we think, for tlfc votes in this congressional District, to look around amongst the candidates talked of; and aking into consideration the impoitant trust to be confided, and the important duties to be performed, to ftx their choice upon thai one who is most fiituous, most capable, and most likely continue their independent advocate, opurning all sinister or selfish designs. We received no papers bv the last mail ftrther eastward, than from Louisville. Mentor is again unavoidably omitted, ve hope to be able to satisfy him, it is not attributable to neglect on our part. Washington. F b 20th, 1822 X) the Editor cf the Richmond Ixultigenccr. SIR. The bill from the House of Representatives, apportioning the Representatives among the several states, was this day finally acted upon by the Senate, and passed by a vote of 26 to 18. It wants the signature of the President to become a law. The Ratio is fixed at 40,000, and Indiana is entitled to thrkb Representatives. Yours very respectfully, JAMES NOBLE. The United States schooner Shark, M. C Perry commander, has arrived at New York, after a cruise of 162 days among the Canaries, Cape de Veids, and on the coast of Africa during which she lost but two men, who were drowned. Phis ahews an excellent attention to preserve the health of the officers and crew. She boarded many slaving vessels as many as it was thought would carry off 6,000 olaves. chiefly under the French and Portuguese flags, but did not overhaul any one, of which he could make a lawful prize It was estimated at Sierra Leone, that 50.000 slaves had been sent ftom the coast in the last 12 months. On board of a French vessel, it was ascertained that Che allowance to the miserable wretches Chat she contained, was a hottic ol water and an ounce of rice per day We have no encouraging views of the state ot our colony two thirds of the emigrants are aid to have died. The United States schooner Alligator, lieut. comd't. Stockton, anchored off the bar last evening. She is 33 days h orn Cape Messurado, West Africa, and 17 days from the West Indies, which she run down on a cruise Lieut.

The Alligator will come up to town vith the first wind. Mercury.

Carter, from Philadelphia, having touched here, on an exploring expedition to explore the interior part of the Peninsula below the 27th degree of latitude in search of land suitable for cultivation cf the Coffee plant. We have now the satisfaction to learn that they have succeeded in their fiudablc undertaking Wc not only con

gratulate the fortunate adventurers In this expedition, bu toe nation in i lie at quisition of a territory which win oik day add so greately to her interest: ana which wiu give to the Fioridas an imporancc not inferior to the surrounding states. Phc following extract of a letter from tuc Secretary of the expedition, dated haneslon, Nov . 5, was politely furnished us by a respectable merchant in t'niscity: I is vitn p.edaurc that I announce to you our arrival in this place. We did intend to touch a St Augustin ,butweie prevented from so doing bv bad weather We have succeeded in our enteririze." i he U. S. schooner Porpotse, Capt Ramage ariivcd at Charleston on the lOtn trom a cruize. In addition to the inlormation whicn we already have of the us.tul service renderc by this vessel, wc learn that in the course ot her ciuizi. capt.R re-captured the Schooner Charict Glavery of Baltimore, w iich had been three days in possession of the pirates , and destroyed in all three piratical establishments on shore, and twelve vesstis, besides two on the stocks. He has brought into port four pirates. Phrec others, whom he had captured, he duchai -gcd tor want of evidence. On tnc da preceeding the arrival of the Pot pose, arrived the piratica- schoonei El Uravo, Midshipman tllanchard a ptise to the Porpoise. On the I Oth also arrived at Charleston, the U S. Schooner Revenge sailing Master R. I Cox, from a cruiu to the southward. On Saturday the 2d ins-ant called off St Augustine; landed Gen. Scott and Col. Aachet,from t. Mary's Xat. Int. COUNTERFEITERS. The Lexington Public Advertiser states, that counterfeit n tes on the F or mers's and Mechanic's B u.k of tni.adelphia and the banks of Ricnmond, Vitginia. to the amount of ninety or one hundred thousand dollar, had been found near that place concealed in the ho low of a tree. A bag containing upwards of sixteen thousand dollars ot counterfeit bills, was found concealed in the yard of Mr Cauidwell, Inn keeper. Philadelphia, a few days since. Pncy consisted ot too dollar notes of the Franklin Rank, Baltimore, and 500 dollar notes oi the Phenix Hank of New York. The Baltimore notes were so welt executed, that one of that description had leceutly been taken by a broker in that city, and afterwards received as genuine in one of the banks The citizens of Philadelphia have held a meeting to make arrangements for re-building the Orphan Asylum lately desttoved by fire The loss is estimated at upwards of 24,(00 dollars 6000 oniy of wiich was insured. Contrary to what was at fit st believed to be the fart it is now pretty certain that 23 little ini. cents, perished in the awful calamity France. The budget tor 1822 shews that tho finances ut France are still in a most prosperous condition How great are the resoutces of tids country, from the encouragement offered to national in du-try! The taxes are easily paid money is plenty, the public debt is diminishing, though public works are not neglected. Bit the tunds have lately declined from pootica causes iokian islands Military law being pioelaioiv d in these isl mds, as noticed in our last, the British irotrctors have proceeded to put to death a great number of peasants, who did t.ot know even for what they were molested, and to exhibit their dead bodies in iron cages on the summit of the hills The people of Zantc were invited to a church, when fitty four of them wvre seized as hostages. Troops we-c pouring into the island, and vessels of vv r ready to attack the town were in the port: nut tiie people, made mad with oppr ssioi), seemed determined on resistance.
