No. That would have been impossible because the Great Compromise took place in 1787 and the Supreme Court wasn't formed until 1789.
The Great Compromise of 1787 occurred during the Constitutional Convention, and involved how the Legislative Branch was going to determine how many representatives participated for each state. The Compromise was worked out amongst the members of the Convention, and was settled when Connecticut Deligate Roger Sherman proposed Congress should consist of two chambers, what became the House of Representatives and the Senate.
All of this took place while the Constitution was being created, so the federal government, as we know it now, didn't exist yet. The US government of 1787 operated under the Articles of Confederation, which didn't have anything similar to a Supreme Court (one of its weaknesses).
The Supreme Court came into existence after the Constitution was ratified by the states and adopted as the new Federal Government. Congress established the US Supreme Court under the Judiciary Act of 1789 (two years after the Great Compromise); the Court met for the first time on February 2, 1790.
