John Swanwick re- r plied, " that he would rather facrifice his |fhole dar fortune than abandon his principles." The great yes' merchant having related this occurrence and dated offii the reply, which does so much honor to the firm- qui ness and patriotism of the little member, concluded as i by emphatically alking his auditors, " whether such aftc ■ man was fit to represent the city of Philadelphia," feiv What an opinion must the merchant (who in jus- tow tice to the American character, it Ihould be dated, cba is a foreigner) have had of the citizens of Philadel- he 1 phia, when he supposed that so praise worthy ade led, •votion to principle in the member lefTened his claim not f on the approbation of his fellow citizens ; and how,.thei indelibly doe« the merchant's observation, mark his H head and heart with the stamp of folly and depravity thei If the above is true, it is so partially only. What Mr. Swanwick's principles are, remains to be known. I , It is.however, well known what those of his support ers are; and if Mr. Swanwick's arc the fame, they / are hortile to the Constitution of thei 'United States, and to the peace-and prosperity of the people—the u- upo rion of the dates, and the republican maxim, that tinu the majority ought tQ govern.

It is the eternal shame of the court of Prussia to at behold (from a base a jealous policy) these armies, so dear and so revered in Europe, struggling with every difficulty, worn down by fatigue, outweighed 1 by the mass of an enemy they always conquer in de tail, by giving lessons of valour and geneiofiiy to g Europe, which she is unworthy to rtceive, and too corrupted to imitate. Does this sovereign forget - Ik is I German ? or will he reft upofi his arms till his own turn comes of fubje&ion and insult, and assume the defence of the common cause when it is too late, when it i; tfefperate?
