From a London paper of April 18.
New President of America.

From the American papers, which we have received down to the date of the 9th of March, we have given a correct copy of the speech of mr. Jefferson on entering his new office, which we have no doubt will be considered as extremely interesting.

Notwithstanding what violent partisans have said, and continue to say respecting the Anti-Anglican politics of this gentleman, we can trace nothing in his speech (in a part of which he declares his political creed) that manifests an attachment to any one European nation more than another. The language it breathes is purely, American, and so far as language may be considered a criterion by which to judge of a man's character, it bespeaks the new President as attracted by no external systems of government, no foreign influence, but acting solely from the impulse of a mind fully satisfied in the enjoyment of a great national good, and deeply apprehensive of the consequences likely to result from any experimental change.

Such is the medium through which we contemplate the present executive head of the American government : If it gives false tincture to the object, our organs have been deceived, profession is nothing and mr. Jefferson is a hypocrite!
