ready published, is the best description
that can be given of this Monster.
Among the number who saw the Sea Ser
pent this morning, was James Prince, Esq.
Marshall of this District, and James T..
Austin, Esq. and many others from Boston,
whose names could be mentioned at this
time, were it necessary.
In addition to what has already appear
ed, the above testimony ought to satisfy
our incredulous friends at the South, and
forever prevent any further sneers and
doubts of the existence Of this monster in
cur waters.

Our Mediterranean Sguadron--An unpleasant
circumstance has lately occurred among some of
the principal officers of our squadron in the Med-
serranean. Four Captains and one Lieutenant
have been suspended by Commodore Stuart, our
naval commander in chief upon that station.
According to the best information, the four Cap
tains and the Lieutenant above mentioned were
members of court martial, and pronounced
sentence which was disapproved by Commodore
Stuart, who also by what authority we know not
reb,5md,aded them. The officers conceiving that
he had no right whatever to retrimand them, re-
pied to him--he took offence at their reply, and
suspended them.
This affair will, probably soon be investigated
by some proper tribunal Until that enquiry takes
place it is better that public opinion should not be
prematurely formed or expressed From a long
acquaintance, however, with Capt. Macdonough,
who is one of the officers suspended, cannot
believe, unless we have strong evidence to prove
it. that his conduct this occasion has been either
precipitate or improper.

Useful Dog-On Tuesday last, the
attention OF our citizens was drawn to
novel mode of conveyance. A strange
black man came riding through the village
with considerable velocity, in a small
Wagon, drawn by middle size dog. On
close examination, the man was discov-
cred to have entirely lost the use OF his
legs. He had travelled in this mode from
Duchess county. He had a trunk in the
Wagon and box attached to the hinder
part, containing light articles Of merchan-
die which he offered for sale along the
road. The dog was perfectly manageable
without lines, and (by little assistance
OF the black man, with cane in each
handy would draw him up the steepest
hills.
