reismommium A3iERICAN SEA SERPENTS. ?ROM MR. C'H.TIVRN ' S NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE. Something extrordinary is always making its ap pearance in Ame:•ica, and accounts of the same ge nerally appear in the English Journals grossly mtg. prated. lam one of those who from experience have learnt the caution necessary to be observed be fore placing implicit confidence in the relations of our transatlantic brethren, and am old enough to' remember the sensation caused by the supernatural appearances on the Apalachian mountains; the glory by which they were surrounded, dispelling the dark ness as the morning sun triumphs over the clouds of night; the vision lasted until some fanatic asserted it was the " descent of the New Jerusalem," when reason prevailed, and we heard the inhabitants and • them no snore.* • Lately we have had " moving stones" in Carolina, but w!•:••11 ease,) their motion when Dr. James; of New York, set on fiNst 'a enquiry concerning them. What I at present wish to observe upon is, the ac count of " huge Sea Aerpents," lately s•ii i to have been seer along that wonderful coast; my intention • however is not to eutet into any disquisition whether or no they arc of the same species with those of an tiquity—those which destroyed Laocoon and yet figure in sculpture, that which proved the youthftd nerves of Hercules, or the more sagacious one sibich foretold the death of Julian, and thereby proved itself a good christian. This I will leave to my Ame . brethren who are well qualified far such re-. searches. I merely intend to state that the Serpents r the Ocean, such as they are described in the ac- Vats from America, are no novel appearance, but been seen in the Mediterranean. I happened to . . on board the l'hiloanel, one of his Majesiy's brigs war, commanded by Captain Guison; having Wined her on the 12th December, 1811, at Gibraltar; ord Cochrane, Commissary-General Macdowel, mid , ptain liardinge of the Engineers, were passengers.f mmnioa them thus particularly as they are living, can contradict me if I state any thing which is correct. After relieving with a supply of provisions the For aguese fortress of Melillo, on the coast of Barbary, and anchoring for one day before the celebrated ruins 'f 0: an, we entered the bay of Algiers, and moored vessel about three miles to the eastward of the where vessels in common do not ride. Our .ve for chusing this position was in order to sound Bay as secretly as possible. The depth of water ~fight be nine fathoms. One of the cables was cut under water on the second day of our anchorage, I apprehend by the coral rocks, near which place the hip was. A seaman remarked to me from the poop, where he was fishing, that he believed the devil in shape of a serpent had cut our cable, and was along-side as long as the ship. I immediately :ed over the gangway and perceived four of these reptiles sporting in the water : they appeared to me about thirty feet in length, of a dark brown colour, -ith a slight silvery tinge on the belly, and on each •of the head ; the head was small, and in thick of body the size of a stout man's thigh, tapering towards the tail. I observed them frequently roll over, stretched at full length, and when preparing advance the head was raised and the tail lolled upwards like a coach.wheel, in size nearly to the middle of the animal's back ; lowering its head which seemed to have been raised as a necessary action to preserve its balance in folding up the tail, it darted forward with considerable velocity, unfurling itself it advanced. The sailors vainly endeavoured to+ catch one of them, letting down shark-hooks with different baits. My opinion was, that the mouth of animal, which generally appeared open when the Id was reared, would not admit a bait larger than orange, being quite out of our ideas of propor m with respect to its body. They never came nearer l ithe surface than sir feet, so we found it useless to attempt them with a harpoon. The men bathed amongst them unmolested, I)or did they abandon the vicinity of the vessel on the occasion, which con• firmed me in my opinion, that from ie size of the mouth, they were incapable of being dangerous to men. We saw them every day during our stay, until our removal into the Mole, when they left us, rather we left them. An old Greek renegado told they were common in the bay; but he had never mown any of them being caught. Achmet, the Ad miral's pilot, then on board the 50-gun ship, de stroyed shortly after by Lord Exmouth, said they :e regarded by the fishermen with a superstitious 'erence, who believed if they left the bay the fish iould also leave it. They had nat, to me, that "carved" appearance noticed by the Americans. I mislit have discovered hat, and several other peculiarities of form in them, • a more narrow scrutiny, but I imagined they were ly curiosities to myself, and scarce worth recording my Journal. I did, however, record them from tractice never to omit noticing whatever passed ender my observation. I pointed them out to Lord Cochrane and the other passengers, and it I recollect aright, his Lordship said they were not uncomnion, • words beat ing that construction. After this state talent, " the American serpent," losing its claim to tovelty, is divested of much of its interest ; as it is more wonderful that the serpent of tile Mcditer 'ean should be seen on that coast, than the whale Greenland on the coast of Cornwall. Fitzroy-plata. I am, &c. J. Sr. MITFORD. P. S. The master of an American vessel arrived at .'enobscot asserts his having encountered at sea serpent full one hundred feet long, and in thickness greater than a water cask. This formidable animal reared itself several feet out of the water, took a look ' the ship, and quietly glided astay. An affidavit said to be preparing for the master and crew, to tablish this extraordinary fact. This account is s•en in Lloyd's List, which alone renders it worthy notice. The dimensions of a water cask are va tons, barrels, butts, and puncheons, and those called gang-casks on board of merchant ships comm on ly t °Main 200 or more gallons, and are at least three * •TLow luminous appearances on the Apalachian mountains were ascribed to the patticular state of the atmosphere. Sums If the American philosophers even travelled from Philadelphia observe them. t Certain ifardinge, a man of considerable talent, took views A he city niolc and batteries, whilst the masts-c of the brig sounded the bay Minutely under pretencrof grappling for the lost anchor. I should believe Lord F.zinouth act, 4.1 tern 2 c a p ta i n lisr,litige's plan ' as that gesstleman remarked to m e i n case of sunhardment the very situation occupied by the <l;sees Charlotte that mcmiorale,le event afterwada taking feet in di;rriet,er ; if the latter is meant, " astoaishiag" indeed must be the size of this animal; if by " water cask" is meant the barrel in common use, about one font in diameter, more astonishing still must it be in the former case, as the master's fears must have malt. nified his powers of vision, and in the latter it may be accounted for by suffering him to have passed a cable washed , off some ship's deck in a gale, which I think not improbable. About twelve years ago an American captain trading for furs, saw cm the shores of New Zealand an animal of the serpent kind which rose out of the water and looked into his main-top ; of this fact an affidavit was also prepared, but never administered ; perhaps this may be the same ani. mat and the discoverer the same person. I have heard more extraordinary things asserted by Ame rican Captains, whose accounts cannot be too cau tiously received, but to this I give no credit. " Jona than" had heard of the serpent, and determined to have share in the glory of firing it as a native of " the Columbian Ocean." National vanity is deemed preferable to trials by most American seamen, and the above may be set down as a fit companion to the Scotch Mermaids which were exhibited in the western isles, and were actuaOly sworn to by several Scotch persons and second-sighbed old women. I se2 no reason to alter my opinion, that the serpent of America a ttl the Mediterranean are of the same species, and not uncommon, though rarely noticed. The difference in size will soon be recon ciled, and as America is the land of the marvellous, they are entitled to forty or fifty feet extra upon such an occasion. I expect some other Captain, on the strength of this great discovery, will import us a parody to its honour on the famous national song, such as— Hail.

By the Hyaeinth, just arrived from the River Plate, we have received litssaos Ayres Gazettes up to the 10th of June, from which we extract the following Decree, imposing a duty on the exportation of Grain: DECREE, An%Mu) IT Tag somoill3l.l /RATIONAL CONOIMII. " The mere idea that the contribution imposed on the Corpo -ration of Bakers, by the Governments which preceded me, might In some manner affect the consumers of bread, by causing a diminution in the weight or the quantity, has for some time occupied my mind, and often excited my sensibility in favour of the most miserable an i 1 -coal acs classes of the State—forcing me, even in the moments of I isure from my labours, to medi tate on the means of extirgu shalt it, without occasioning any injury to the public funds, bu.dened by enormous obligations.— To devise these means, I haw- given every consideration in my po over t th • subject, and siuglu for information from persons of probity and con I.i ; and although I have always found that the contribution was fmnded on the basis of equity and jus tice, notwithstanding the immense number of representations with which the Bakers, di 'ratting the attention of the Supreme Government, and the most excellent Cabildo, charged with its collection, have endeavoar.d, in different ways, to neutralize it, reducing it to a mere name, as they are indebted more than sixty thousand dollars, notwithstanding the different favours and abatements which I have graciously conceded to them : still, however, I have not been able to tranquillize my heart, from the sole fear lest it might, even remotely, be the cause of the evil which ou:kt to be remedied ; determining, therefore, after the most mature reflection, to free from the said contribution the Bakers, with the express view that the consumers of all classes may In no manner feel any diminution in the weight of the bread, by which the condition of the suffering classes may become more hard. " Therefore, and because the interests of the State can in no ways be less injured, I have ordered that the contribution im posed on the Bakers cease from this day; and that it be trans ferred, till something else can be found to supply its place, to Wheat, Flour, Bread, Maize, and Barley, which shall be expoc ted from this Purt, or from any of the Dependencies of the Union—levying at the Custom House one dollar for every fa nega of Wheat, Maize, or Barley ; six Teals for every quintal of IT and six for the quintal of Bread—regulating the fanega of the former at eight and a half anobas, and that of the second, without separating the grain from the ear, at fourteen anobas— and, separated, at seven ; and that of the third at six and a half anobas, weighing the sacks, &c. at the Custom House. " And In order that the revenues of the State may not be de. frauded of that which is lawfully due by the Bakers for the con. tribution up to this date, in order that as soon as the Regulation shall be framed by the Cabildo in the usual form, and the ac count be drawn out as to the balance due by each individual, it shall be paid by three instalments, in 3 consecutive months, &v..

The inhabitants of Santiago de Chili haying made a voluntary offer of all their wrought silver, to sup port the cause of the Patriots, their Government issued, in consequence of that event, tke following DECREE; •' Santiago, March 13, 13111. " The Secretaries of State and of the Treasury are ordered to make known to the Clergy, Magistracy, Public Bodies, and in dividdal Citizens of Santiago, that the Government, while it la masts its Inability to comma nd language adequate to express the gratitude elicited by patriotism; as rare as it is generous, has directed the following inscription to be engraven on the Columns erected in the eastern and western entrances of the Capital: " The sth of March, ISIS, the Citizens of Santiago volun tarily stripped themselves of all their Wrought Silver, solemnly declaring, that they would nut supply its Faux while the Coup trycontinues in danger.. 6 ' Nations of the Unlvene ! !krangera who enter Decide if such a people can be enslaved: 66 The generosity of a heroic people forbidding the Govern ment's availing itself of the means of providing for the exigencies of the State than those founded on implicit confidence in their •virtue, it is ordered that henceforward the monthly contribu tions of the citizens of Santiago be discontinued. It Is further- more ordered, that the articles of wrought silver be considered and treated as a deposit, which may serve as a pledge and secu rity of the foreign succour the Government may solicit, in order that if the war concludes quickly (as in humble reliance un the protection of the Most Ilion we hope it will), ti n y may be re deemed by the ordinary revenue of the public; and, in confor mity to the request which has been made, the two Alcaldes of this capital, Don Jose Manuel Lecaros, Don Domingo Torro, lion Ignacio, and Don Domingo Ezzagnirre, the fiscal de le camera, Don Jose de Gregorio Argomendo, and Don Francisco Antonio Perez, are appoluted commissioners to receive the of-1 firings; it &lull be their duty to give to each citizen, making such pure oblation on the altar of patriotism, a receipt, sped- !Ting its weight and form, together with the marks chstingufsh- Mg it, should such exist ; they shall also provide a book, in which the receipt, signed by the commissioners, and the donor, shall be recorded ; the book shall be deposited in the et ee of the Se cretary of the Cabildo.

We are st;11 unable to gratify ourselves and readers by announcing any decisive success against the Re bels in the Interior, which might give room to hope for an immediate termination of the insurrection, but the system pursued of harassing their leaders by continual movements upon their haunts, we are per suaded cannot fail in the end to tire out both them and their followers. Our last Gazette left Lieutenant-Colorel Kelly at Badulla ; he moved from that post on the gsth olt. and after inspecting the post at Iliil Oya, which commands the liambergam pass, and was therefore chosen by Major M , Donald, proceeded on the 29th to Velangashena, on the top of the Hapotale pass, where he fuund Major M , Donald. As a large Kan- 1 dyast force under a Chief of Sairregan, had been l , some time forming in the latter province, and was, then daily expected in Ouva, Colonel Kelly and Major M , Donald resolved on waiting its arrival at Velangashena ; that force arrived on the 3d of Feb. l and is reported to consist of a well-armed body of SOO.Kandyans and 500 followers, whom it is intend ei to employ in conjunction with our troops in seek ing out the concealed heaps of grain, and hiding places of the Rebels in Lower Ouva. While at Ve • langashena, Colonel Kelly received reports from Major Coxon, that, on the 23.1 of J tnuary, he had surprised a party concealed in the jungle near his post (Aliput), killed three, wounded several, and took two prisoners. On the 28th, the Ma:or sent out a detachment to surprise a village in which arrows and balls were reported to have been made for the use of the lasur gents, which completely succeeded, and from the in formation the prisoners taken gave on the 2Sth, he detached two parties who surprised a haunt of Re bels, of whom 21 were killed and 15 wounded ; and• among other prisoners taken were the family of a principal rebel, who had been the active leader of the attacks on our own convoys, between Bootle and Aliput ; although much resistance was made, none I rof our men were hurt. Major Coxon speaks in the highest terms of the bravery and conduct of native Lieutenant Sowele, Ist Ceylon Regiment, who commanded one of the parties, and he has in consequence been promoted to the yank of Captain, which was vacant on the death, in the field, of Captain Bonkus ; the other party was under the command of a Serjeant of the 73d Regi ment ; but the treachery of his guides rendered the efforts of his detachment less useful : the consequence if the capture of the family of Weregodde Raterale, the rebel leader above mentioned, has been his com ing in and reporting that all the followers of the Pretender are wow) , of the unsuccessful struggle, in which their expectations have been so much dis appointed. A post established at Mavelli, a pass over the southern chain of Ouva mountains, was attacked by large parties of rebels on the 3d current, when Lieu.. tenant Raymond, commanding there, made a sally from his garrison, and drove them from hill to hill for a considerable distance, without being able ,to come up with them, hut suffering no loss. Lieutenant-Colonel Hook moved from Madulla on the Ist of February, with the view of scouring the Weyeloova of Vl'allapane ; he an iced the same day at Nindegamme, having crossed the Ouma Oya with dif f iculty, in consequence of the depth and rapidity of the torrent ; the only resist:w.ce from the enemy was two miles beyond the river, when a flight of ar rows was shot, by which a private follower was, wounded ; while at Nindegamme, Lieutenant-Colonel Hook sent out parties to surprize some of the Insur gents in the neighbourhood, and being in grain, who succeeded in the latter part, but from the badness of the roads were too late to accomplish the former ob ject : on the 4th he moved from Nindegamme to the Temple of Boodega or Bogodde Kande, near which a report had been received that the Pretender had been concealed in the Caves of Marangalle Kande: on the march the party was attacked by a flight of arrows, which was returned by musketry, and three of the rebels were observed to fall. On the sth, Lieutenant-Colonel 1-look sent out re connoitering parties to discover if any buildings were to be seen, but none were visible on any side, nor could they take any prisoners ; a co-operating party of a corporal and fifteen men, sent from Badulla to Bogodda, joined Lieutenant-Colonel Hook, and re potted having killed four men armed with arrows, but had not discovered any traces of buildings; Cap tain Blankenberg arrived that day at Bogodda, pro ceeding from Badulla to his former command at Nin degant me, having perfectly recovered from the wound he received on the 14th ultimo; the party he was with had been shot at with arrows, and a follower wounded ; next day Captain Blankenberg proceeded to his post, and Lieutenant-Colonel Hook to Badulla, from which the latter returned by Toopetty to Ma dulla on the Bth, having met with no resistance: all the information obtained by Lieutenant-Colonel Book 'tended to evince the disposition of the people to be in favour of the re-establishment of 'pod order, and that they were only kept in opposition to Government by fear of punishment from their Chiefs in rebellion. We tegret to have to report a barbarous murder committed near Bedulla, on Godiageddere Mohot:de, senior, by the machinations of a Cousin of his own, who had joined the Rebel Party ; the deceased was enticed from his house into a retired spot, and there killed, after vain endeavours by torture to induce him to discover where his son then was, against whom also their vengeance was directed ; the latter is secure in the Fort of Badulla Accounts received from Lieutenant-Colonel Cother mention an irruption of the Rebels from Ouva into Suffrgiam, for the purpose of obtaking grain ; on his moving a party towards the places, however, where they were reported to have been, they were found to have retired, and in the other parts of the country th• former state of quiet and obedience invariably prevails.
