The German Patriot Public Dinner.

The German Patriot Public Dinner.
Among the exiles of different countries who
emigre,e to the United States to breathe the pure
air OF liberty, we name Karl Heinzen, Fan Tvs
sowski, and Doiviat, all of them having escaped
from the grasp Of the kings tyranny.
Karl Heinzen, when young, was in the service
OF the Dutch government at Batavia; his first
steps in journalism were made in the Gasstte de
Cologne, In which he attacked the government
about the dreadful state which awaits the de-
luded Germans in the Batavian COLONY He then
published a book on the Prussian cabinet affairs,
and therefor was prosecuted for high trea-
son: This republican intended to await his
,rlal, thinking that his case would be brought
before jury and In public, as il is daily done in
Rhenish Prussia, since the wars of Napoleon !;

In use In the old Prussian provinces, he thought
better tor his safety to avoid his certain fate and
he'd to Belgium, and thence to Switzerland.
There he employed his able pen and his great
secret and political correspondence, to write
against the desPotlsm of the tyrants of Germa-
ny. His pamphlets, printed in Switzerland,

manic Union. We could not number the secret
prosecutions Mr.. Karl Heinzen was exposed tot;
and nevertheless, he always remained firm in his
views, for enlghting his countrymen and max ing

made for his being delivered up Prussia and he
would have been delivered had not the liberal party
obtained the dancy in sw zsrland. The friends
of NJ who had furnished him with funds to carry out
his purpose were harrsssed by judicial prosecutions
and even the simple fact Of correspondence with
Hsngsn, would bring man into the greatest difficult
ties with bis government At Brcsau, in Prussia, the
people made subscription to furnish him the
his voyage to Ameroa but the authorities conhscated
those funds Under such circumstances, he could no
longer stay the European continent. He applied to
the French government for passport through France
which was first refused but afterwards granted, after
