I thank you in the first place, for my couhtry, and I hope I shall not be ' fought very presumptuous if lead, or even misled, by my wish to con clude, that personal kindness may have had some little share in prompt ing your conduct on this occasion, I venture to thank you for myself. I trust, my Lord, it is scarcely neces sary for me to say how sincerely I join in the wish which has been so well received by,the Noblemen and Gentlemen here present, that there may be perpetual good understand ing between Great Britain and the United States. An American mi nister has in truth no merit in anxi ously desiling cordial friendship ivijh this country on terms consistent with the honor of his own, and your {»ordship will allow me to rejoice Unit there do exist on both sides the most powerful and obvious induce ments to cultivate such friendship. We need not trouble ourselves to inquire whether it be true, as some politicians have pretended, that in terest is the only tie of sufficient strength to hold independent nations together as friends, for we are for tunately bound in amity* by all sorts tits, which I fervently hope we shall not, even if it were possible that we should be disposed, be strong enough to break. No reflecting and impartial man can doubt, that the true interests of Great Britain & A jutrioa arc compatible in all cases, • the same in most. A liberal and comprehensive view of these, can lead to no other conclusion than that -they are calculated to cherish and • invigorate each other. But a sense • of this compatability and identity of • interests, effectual as it ought to be , in communicating a character of . steady friendship to our relations, is not the only pledge of harmony be tween us for a thousand kindly in fluences, with which calculation has no concern, combine to form an aux iliary pledge, little inferior in strength, I should hope, far superior in mo ral beauty, I am sure, to the other. These influences, my Lord, it would .be a pleasing, & perhaps not unpr ofitable task to review in detail, i and by reviewing, to give them .- freshness and augmented activity | for the noble and salutary purpo- • ses of peace and kindness. But I have already trespassed too. long on .• your indulgence, if indeed, I have not trespassed upon that discretion r which so emphatically becomes my » situation. I beg leave to drink the health of your Lordship, &c. March 10. We received this morning Cadiz papers to the 24th. The enemy have yet made no serious attack up on Cadiz or the Isle of Leon, and the Spaniards are actively improving the mcaus of defence. The French wish to canyon an active commerce ol flags of truce, '(hey send in pro clamations and addresses, which the Governor orders to be burnt by the hands of the common hangman. A letter from Paris, of the 16th of Jan. states, that the reason of the re cent order of Bonaparte to confiscate American property in France and • Italy, vas owing to Bonaprte’s “ dis satisfaction at the President’s stating, that he should not receive a min ister from Joseph any more than from the Junta.” Capt. IvrCobb of the brig Helen arrived at Alexandria from Madeira, informs that he spoke a ship from • Cadiz bound to Madeira, having on hoard the American consul, who had left Cadiz on his way to Philadelphia in consequence ot the near approach of the French to that place. the papers and despatches brought byj the flag of truce on the 20th. If the enemy thinks to conquer us by proclamations and insidious proposi tions, he is deceived. It is impossi ble to corrupt the Governor, or to change the public opinion, which is firmly founded in justice, and sup ported by the general wish of the people.”—Gazetto del Convnercio dc Cadiz,February 23. A mail lrom New-York arrived this morning, and brought letters and papers to the 30th January, the day on which the Packet sailed. In more than one public document of the French government published lately it has been asserted, that a pro posal for a cartel had been rejected by our ministers, lest it should lead to a negociation for peace* Lord Holland, in the House of Lords, last night, put a question to Ministers upon the subject, and was informed by Lord Mulgravc that some ar rangements had undoubtedly been under consideration, for an exchange of prisoners, hut that they had been broken off upon the terms of the pro posals, and without any reference whatever to a negotiation for peace.

A British frigate hat been ordered to Hi' lifax to carry home Mr. Jackson. The National Intelligencer of the 13th inst. states, that “ the officer who lately outraged the house of Mr* Dashkoft’ has been dismissed the ser vice in consequence of that act.” DRESDEN, Feb. 14. An Austrian Courier^ proceeding to Berlin, has brought the agreeable news of a suspension of arms be tween Russia and the Ottomon Porte. These two Courts have accepted the powerful mediation of the Emperor Napoleon. It is said, that since the Porte decided to make peace, the English Ambassador (Mr. Adair,) not thinking himself safe at Constan tinople, precipitately embarked for Sicily. THE JOURNAL,, TUESDAY.; April 24. CADIZ, Feb. 18. In the night of the 16th, and du ring the whole of the 17th, we were employed in constructing, under pro tec lion of the boat:, au advanced A gentleman who left Savannah on Thursday, has favored us with the papers of that place to the 19th instant inclusive ; and several New- York and Baltimore Gazettes of re cent dates. From these we have extracted the very late and impor tant news contained in our paper of to-day; the article from the London Chronicle relative to a Treaty be tween the United States and Great Britain, we are informed, is corro borated by private letters received in Savannah. The ship Cincinnatus arrived at New-York on the 13th inst. in 30 days from London. Bv this arrival London dates to the lOth March have been received. It will be seen by the extracts which follow, that there is every prospect of a speedy adjustment of all differences between the United States and Great Britain. The following article from the London Morning Chronicle of the 7th ult. is believed by the passengers in the Cincinnatus, to be correct: It is very currently reported that the negotiations which have for some time been conducted by the Marquis Wellesley and Mi. Pinkney, have happily terminated in an amica ble adjustment of the differences be tween this country and the United States of America. The John Adams frigate has been detained to carry out the Treaty, which will not be made public until the ratifications are exchanged. It is said that the despatches of the American minister are to be forwarded to the frigate to-morrow.” The frigate John Adams it was supposed, sailed from Portsmouth on the 13th of March, for America, to touch at Havre for a Bearer ol despatches. The Juno, Bates, with duplicates of Mr. Pinkney’s des patches, sailed about the same time ior Boston. It was said in England that no minister at present would be sent out, as it was supposed that Mr. Pink- SUMMARY VIEW OF THE PROCEED INGS OF CONGRESS. SENATE—The Senate have con curred in the Resolution from the House of Representatives for ad journment on the 23d inst.—Ayes, 23,—Noes 7. The Senators from this state voted irt the affirmative. We may conclude, that Congress adjourned yesterday. Mr. Giles on the 6th inst. submitted the following resolutions for consideration : Resolved, That a committee be ap pointed to inquire into the expedien cy of providing by law for appropri ating certain waste and unappropri ated lands, to satisfy bounties d ue from the state of Virginia, to. the officers and soldiers of the line of that state, and to the marines thereof; and if deemed expedient, to designate the said lands by law. Resolved, That a committee be ap pointed to inquire into the expedien cy of extinguishing the Indian claim to lands within the boundaries of the state of Kentucky, and of confirming the titles of all locations, lor military services, therein made ; and that the committee have leave to report by bill or otherwise^ These resolutions were taken up on the following day, and agreed to. A bill to enable the people of the Or leans Territory, “ to form a consti tution and state-government, and for. the admission of such state into the Union, on an equal footing with the other states,” was read and passed to’a second reading. The bill regu lating the Post-Office department was passed with amendments, one of which deprives Post-Masters of the privilege of franking. (This privi lege is almost the only advantage derived by many post-masters from their office : It is the abuse* and not the use of franking that should, we presume, be prohibited.) House of Representatives. 7th April.—The House agreed to meet at 10 o’clock for the remainder of the session. A bill was reported by Mr. Eppes and twice read, au thorising a loan of a sum ol money not exceeding the amount of the pub lic debt, reimbursable according to law during the present year.—Mr, Macon on the 6th inst. brought for ward another Commercial Inter course Bill—Whether this will be passed, or share the. fate of its memorable predecessor, the ken of human foresight to de termine.

On the 21st ult. the governor gene ral of Canada, published a Proclama tion, announcing that certain sediti ous and treasonable writings had been printed, published and circula ted in the province of Lower Canada, according to thejdisseminated at a very great cxpence, of representatives, the source of which was not known would give this House two hundred and eighteen members—A greater number than could be accommodated within these walls, and a greater bo dy of men than could progress with the business of this House. Alter the census shall be taken, the amount in each state ascertained, and the fractional numbers known, it will be much more difficult to fix the ra tio than at this time. I therefore beg leave to submit the following resolu tion. And as it embraces a subject of great importance, I have no objec tion that it lay upon the table a few days for the consideration of the members : Resolved’, That the apportionment of representatives amongst the seVe ral states according to the third enu meration of the people, ought to be in the ratio, of one representative for every forty-five thousand persons in each state, and that a committee be appointed to bring in a bill according ly* , , A motion was made that the re resolution lie on the table, and af ter some debate, carried, 53 to 41.
