W S !t 1 N'GTON Ct i Y, APllI t. 16 1823. SIR. -Fc:v Sessions of. Congress, since the commencement ofthc gocni mem, have taken up more business of great national impottancc, thin the present. The iat'10 and appoi tionmcnt of representation lor the present census occupied its early attention. 'The difficulties incident to this subject, the diversity of inteiests in various sections of the trnion,kthe coi.scqucn' daTeien :c of oplnic u in relation tothc number proper for the House of Representatives, together with the delay occasioned by the wur.t of returns from sonic districts, reltrrdcd the passage of the apportionment hill until a late period of the Session; and the legislatures of several S atcs, will have special Sessions dining the present year, for the purpose of forming Congressional distiiets. The members elected under the present census, will take their scats in the next Congiess. the ratio Ls fixed at 40,000. The State of Indiana is entitled to three members and the tcgiatU'i have done wieh in anticipaiinghr number and in disttieting the Stfe, thereby avoiding the in eesity of an "extra Session for that pmpose. On the formation of ti c government under the constitution of ihc United Mates, the House of R-p;esentatives consisted of 65 members Foi the riot census, the number was increased to 105, for the second to 141; for tin third to I 81 and for the present-the fouith census, it will be organized whh 212; muking in a little more thai, 4u vears, an increase of more than doublets original nund)cr, w' iic the ratio of representation has risi n from thirty 'o forty thousand. The population, arcording to the census of 170( was 3 91.32f, ; that of 1 S00, w;s 5.319.762; that ot 8'0. 7,2 r 9 902 ; and that of 1820, is 9,637.999 Thus in 'he shoil space of 40 years almost tripling our population, while the nations of the old world, arc in this rvspect on the ebb and fi.uv. sometimes increasing, and sometimes decreasing, as plenty or famine, peace or war, happen to favor or to frown upon human life. The hill for the organization of "territorial Government for the Floridas although reported at an early period, did not until lately become a law A proposition for the annexation of West Florida to Alabama, was made by the Legislature of that State, and was much pressed, in the Senate. The policy too of annexing East Florida to Georgia, was spoken of; but their limits are not chang cd, and the bill for their government, recognises the same boundaiies they had in the hands of Spain The bankrupt bill, a measure alnAstjis

important to the commercial irtcrcsts of the east, as our land bill of last Sessjp to IK in the west "as strongly urged upoi the House of Representatives, end seems to have been lost by the mismanagement of its fiicnds The merchants now, as the manufacturers heretofore, hy asking too much, have got nothing. They asked to be shieled in prosperity, from those debts which in adversitv they had become unable to pay, and that the juiikdiction created by the bill, vhould be put into the hands of the courts of the United States ; increasing, in a great degree the mammoth poucr already in the hands of the federal jidiciarv. Early in the Session, the Committee on the Pub ic Lands, icported ; bill, amcndatry to the land r lief law of last Session It authorizes those v ho dbf not avail themsehes ofthc proisions of that law, to transact heir business in the land offices, on or before the 30th of September next, and plr.rev !:-m in the same situation with thr.v.' v v.me. forward previous to the So;:, r.? Stptrmbci last '1 his bill has passed both Houses, and wants on'.y the signature of the Picsident to become a law. Funds have been provided, for inpayment in full of the pensioners within the State. This was unavoidably pro crastinatcd, until the appropriate hill, containing that item of cncmljturc, should pass the sums prcviiiTf3propriated for that object, havW been misapplied and insufficient for tm? pur pose. 'The whole number of persons on the revolutnnaiv pension roll, amounted on the 7th February last to ? 1 932. A bill has been reported, authoring the selection of school lamb, for Clark's grant, and that part of the Vinccnncs donation tract, for which no selections, h m yet b?cn made. A bill has also hem te ported, and has passed the Sena'c br the location of a land office at Fort Wayne.

But in the year lt2(), the other side of the pictu c ptcscntcd itself In that yeai a ioan of three millions became necessary, to defray the ordinary expenses cfthe Government, and to pay the interest of the debt During the last year, the same policy wa- pursued ; incicasing, instead of diminishing, the debt of 91 millions. 'The importations of 8l 5 and '16 were excessive : they far exceeded our ex-po'-u put the balance of trade largely against us, and drained the counti v of the pice ions metals. Jvcr indeed ' ran we reasonably expect a e:y great imptovemcnt of the revenue aiding f-om the c:us!oms, while the loieii-n maikcts furnish so little demand for our cxpo ts, by which our imports must necessaiily be regulated. This state of affairs will impose tho necessity 0:1 CoiiKusf diminishing the expenditure of the Government, and tf managing i's Ticasury on prinr ipies of economy which the present times imperiously t quire. Our peace establishments were organized in the yeat 1815, when the revenues of the countiy pioniiscd means equal to the wishes of piodigality itself; and it is not woudeifuf, that at the close of a war, in which the Army and the Xay were identified with the affections of the people, those cstablishm nts sliould have been made as they were. Hut our expenditures must be biought within our means; and the administration of Mr. Monroe will terminate with increased reputation, should he go forward, as it is believed he wi:l, in such system of economy and rctienchmcnt, as will afiotd the piospect of extinguishing the National Debt in a reasonable time, and piomote the solid improvement and prosperity of ihe nation. 'The army has uheady been reduced to 6,000 men; and a bill is reported to fi:: a naval peace establishment, leaving the Navy in the opinion of its Itiends a, 1 iT ctive as it now is. and reducing considerably its charge upon the 'I reasury. For the want of National prcspetity, however, we ought iot to complain. The pecuniary affaiis of the countiy, ic is true, have undergone a veiy ieat change. The nation, as w ell as ineii' iduals, have felt that change Ntithcr the one nor the other are yet prepared for 'he present state o thirds- 'The quantity of our circolatii tr medium has been much reduced 1 ublic opinion has driven fiom circulation worthless Hank paper, aod the mcrrhants have e xrhanucd our necie for Furopcan goods ; but men liave ictunud to thrir 1 atm al mrsuits.
