SILVER OF the famous mines of Longsberc.
IN Norway, was supposed to have been ex-
bausted; and they have not for number,
! ofyears been wrought with material adj
vantage. But ne " vein of silver ore has
been recently discovered, which promises
TO make those mines once more a yaIua-
bic possession of the Crown OF Denmark.
The Danish merchants bave, of late, gain-

AUSTRIAN EMPrRE.
Our letters from Vienna have informed
Us, that the Emperor and his Ministers
view Bcnapate's movements IN Italy with
extreme jealousy. One encamprent of
$1,000 Austrian troops is about to DC form
ed at Pcttau in Syria. Another of 40 900
men viii be formed near Treyiso. Grain
Is exceedingly dear at Vienna. There isa
promise OF an abundant produce of fruits
in the vineyards and orchards. Not fewer
than one thousand seven hundred aud nine
~ four persons died al Vienna in the month
Of April only.
M. acknowledgements is now, Bona.
parties viceroy in Holland. His first grand
acts are said to have been, TO surrender
the Cape of Good Hope by formal though
secret cession 10 Bonaparte, aud TO enforce
restrictions upon the trade with England
by neutrais, such as must utterly ruiB the
COMMERCIAL interest OF his country. Tbs
Dutch are fleeing, in multitudes from his
government TO Louisiana, and the .olhcr
wiids of America.
II IS the confession OF the French them
selves al this moment, that their tSsde.is
utterly roined. They have nothing To lose
at SEA. The levies 10 supply the fleets and
armies necessarily ruin their husbandfy,
i'iheir manufaeiures, and the mental service
ct their great towns. They have sunls
down into that political torpor respecting
their internal government, which pfeysil-
ed IN the days of Louis the Fourteenth,
when they cared for nothing but the pride
and glory of their Grand lNonargue. Bo-
naparte tells them that he is great, and lhac
they are great under him; and they lay
their necks before him ii, the dust, and snf-
! fer him 10 tread upon them. They reioic.

and as heartily, for Bonaparte's aceessiori

fathers COLD have done If the same thing
had happened to Louis the Great.---They
are not a liteie prouhd, just now, that they
should have ships of war out at sea which
are not brought into an English poft.--
Some ofthen actually conceive Bousparta
as the restorer of the Empire OF Charlie
nagne, or rather the author Of new dy-
nasty more glorious Than his. Yet, num-
bers OF them submit ouly by necessity
and IN Isngn'd toTpor. They hate the GO
vernment, which they endure TO avoid new
revolutionary trmuIls and messscres. The
preparations along the coasts are considers
/ able. But, they menace, nothing iormi-
dable TO England, If England shall not By
Hppruueht contempt oil them, be thrown
OH her guard. The boasi in the French
newspapers upon the success with winch
the combined fleets have hitherto ei0ded

come alyo st entirely through a Ff6Dch
medium. The Prince Of Peace does what
