A Correspondent observes that facts prove the fallacy of an opinion which has been industriously disseminated by some persons, who are supposed not to be friendly to the New Government; which is, that the residence of Congress in any of our great commercial cities, would concenter an influence in such place, that would tend to destroy the equilibrium of the union—for it appears by authentic documents published to the world, that Philadelphia supports her superiority to New-York in exports and imports, in the amount of her impost, and the number of her shipping.
