EUROPEAN sur. TREASURES.

We have observed the following account Of the
manner in which Swartwouters are punished in
europe, and cannon help thinking that if some
such punishment administered in this country,
occasionally. it would have most salntary effect,
since it seems to be so difficult TO find enongh OF
honesty implanted incur public officers. TO keep
their fingers from the funds with which they are
entrusted. Mr. GsoHroy, receiver Of taxes and
postmaster al obefwessel in Prussia, fell short IN
his reckoning with the Government In September
last, TO the amour, of three thousand hive hundred
dollars. He fed to France. bu, under treaties oe-
tween the governments, was arrested ana sen.
