FROM WASHINGTON, MAY az,

No doubt is entertained here that
Mr. Madifon is determined to imi-
tate the example of Warrington, and
be in fact the Prehdent of the Uni
ted States. and not, like Jetferfon,
the PRECEDENT Of a party. Feals, it's
well known. were entertained by ma
ny, that Thomas Jeffcrion, as has
been faid of the late Lord Liverpool
in England, would retain an uufeen
but not an uncxiltant influence, o.
yer the new administration but all
thofe fears are over. The Secresa-
-ries of State, War, and the Navy,
Smith, Euitis, and Hamilton, arc
men of liberal minds and patriotic
views, and harmonic with the Pre-
fid:ns. Gallatin, who, for four years
paR, has been "every thing By turns
and nothing long," and who is very
much disappointed thar be was noe
made Secretary of State, IS the only
Ehilmafic in the cabinet. There 10
certainly no Jefferfonian influence
hanging about the palace. The lafe
PRECEDENT, and his " back -itairs" men
in the houie, have no more weight
with administration than if they were
removed to their favorite region Of
China. Their party views are difap-
pointed, and their pride is wound
ed /; yet they dare not riik their pop
ularity by openly denouncing the ex-.
ecutive, which, they have fenfe C.
nough to know, would throw them
into a minority. Hence their deter
mination to evade, if poaible, avote
upon Mr.. Randolph's refolntion,
which goes to approve the conduit
Of the PRECEDENT. They fay in their
private circles, that they have no
idea of approving this or that par,ic-
ular meafure, till they know what is
to be the general iyltem. If the
Preiident expects our appreciation,
fay they. he mutt new himielf wor-
thy oft, by pledeing himfelf to adj
here to the GOOD OLD fRiNcIPLEs-
THAT is, he mutt become a creeping
thing, like his predeceaor) -he mutt
not deferr his friends-he mutt mani
feft indignation at the applauies Of bis
old opponents-he mutt dittruR the
ryrant Of the Seas, and at all events
keep well with the great Champion

SILVER NINE.


Within few weeks past mine has been
discovered on the lands of Mr.. VIM. Davis of
Frederick county, (Va) which, from actual
experiment, promises to yield an immense
quantity of silver of the purest kind. The
writer of this communication, has seen two
specimens of silver produced from this ore
bank, which is pronounced by competent
Judges, to be Us pure metal as, any in the
world. II is said by the proprietors, that
from two pounds and four ounces of the ore,
they have produced the value of two dollars
eighty-seyen and a half fcents. From this cal
culation it is expected, that every ton of ore,
in its natural state will yield about 1000 dol
lars. The poprietors expect to be able to
melt down about a ton in weight every "a
hours. The bank il is believed, contains an

IMPORTANT NEWS.
FROM THE BAErrMoRE AMERIcAN.

BALTIMORE, SEPT. S. 81
Last evening arrived at this port the brig
Inca, Mezick, in 80 days from the island of
Sylt, Denmark, which place he left on the
3Oth July. We have been favored with file
OF Copenhagen papers down to the 18th July,
from which we shall give translations tomor-
row. t-.tlt .a.s1 fs 4le.
Capt. Mezick informs that he had read the
French Bulletin giving an account of very
severe engagement between. the Emperor
Napoleon and the, Archdnke Charles. The
French crossed the Danube on three bridges
which were previously completed, and COM
menced the enlightenment on the Second of
July. The battle continued four days sue
cessively. The Archsluke Charles was bad
ly wounded, and fed with 10000 men into
Bohemia, leaving $4,000 Austrians on the
field of battle. The French stated theirown
loss 4 to be comparatively triaihg. On the
9Th July an armistice was concluded for four
weeks, and Bounaparte was in possession of
all the strong holds in Austria. 1t was not
known where the Empcrour Of Austria was.
The Russians occupied great part of CALI
cia, but had not formed a junction with the
French.
A few English ships Of war with 500
troops on board, took possession of Cuxhaven
the same day the battle commenced between
the French and Austrians, and as there were
no Frenchtroops in the neighbourhood, were
still in possession, from whence they carried

The Danish government appear very
friendly to American vessels arriving in safe

take every American vessel they come q

Their privateersmen,in conjunction with cor

the government exercises but very, little con.

The Inca sailed from this port immediate

consequence of raising the buoys only two
Americans arrived safe at Tonningen without
getting ashore, and several were lost. p q

Each of these mighty powers is dcsirous that
