THE SEA SERPENT.

In the New-Haven Register, we find very
minute account of the Sea Serpent, drawn up
and signed by Mr.. John Smith, Jr. of GIouces-
ter, passenger in the sloop Traveller, bound to
New York, out put into New-Haven from head
winds. Mr.. Smith states, that on the 7th inst.
being at Sandy Bay, the most easterIy part of
Cape Ann, gentleman gave notice that the
serpent was crossing the Bay, near the end of
the pier; the information spread in the village,
and IN few minutes upwards OF an hundred
persons were assembled. Mr.. S. says, abe rep
resented of kegs on the water. as near as
any thing could think of-his motion was YER
ticai, and very slow. / saw him several min
utes before he disappeared-he went in very
near to the opposite shore from the wharf, where
we were standing, and then turned and proceed
ed out to sea. Several boats started in pursuit
OF him, one Of which took a gun-they came
very near bin with their boat, they say as near
as ten feet, when he sunk and went directly un-
der their boat; at one time they were so near
his tail that man in the boat struck bin with
lis boat hook.
The men in the boat thus describe him, as
having fiat or snake head, his back appeared
straight while under water,nothing of the bunch
IS or row of kegs before described could be dis
covered; the color of bis back was dark brown.
and his belly white, aud not the least kind of
M could be dIscovered-his length, as near as
they could judge, and to speak within bounds,
was 90 or 70 feet, and as big round as barrel.
The person 10 the boat with a gun fired at him
seven times, s he declared that in one instance
the animal was lying entirely still, and being
not more than 90 yards from him, he fired and
plainly saw the ball strike him and glasce as
though it struck rock. He was seen after
wards, and remained about the Bay for more
than two hours, and those persons who saw him,
being most of them old experienced fishermen,
declared unhesitatingly, that they have never
seen any fish before, that in any respect resem-

ELECTION.

The annual election Of Governor, Senators,
and Representatives will take place in this State
on Monday the 9th day of September. This an
nual return of power to the people, as it pre-
serves in their freshness and yigour our repub-
ican institutions, ought not to be treated with
neglect or indifference. 1t is the nature Of
power to encroach, and unless the people are
watchful they will find that their rulers have es-
tablished authority by precedent, while they
have lost the influence of restraint bv being
careless in USE 1t is therefore always ofim-
portance, however calm may be political action,
for the people to exercise their privilege, at the
annual elections, of scrutinizing the conduct Of
those to whom they have delegated power and
of rewarding or Withholding their favour as the
objects may have deserved it.
In this county eere have been several gentle
men put in nomination for Senators. Some by
public conventions and some at the suggestion
of individuals: they are all men, who are gener-
ally known for they have been pubickly and
privately talked about throughout the county, it
is not necessary therefore TO say much in regard
to their individual character. The democratic
convention have nominated Mr.. Dunn Mr.. An
derson and Mr.. Dunlap, the former of these
gentlemen was in the Senate last year, but with
what reputation TO himself or service to his con-
man of business, experience or information suit
ed to the elevated station. Mr.. Anderson has
been twice before canvassed for different situa-
tons, 10 private life be is good citizen and a
good companion, he is faithful TO bis clients and
his clients are faithful to him; but he has had nc
experience in public life. The Senate is small
in numbers and from the nominations throughout
the state we perceive that it will at the next SEES
sion consist principally ofnew members. Now
every person who has ever been spectator and
auditor in that body, must have perceived the
great inconvenience that has been felt by the
members, for the want Of persons of experience
In public business. Experience more than sup
plies the place Of talent in certain instances, and
isequal to it for public purposes in almost all
The third candidate is Mr.. Dunlap! this nom-
nation surprised us, for we did expect in the con-
vention little more regard for public opinion
and for consistency. In a public officer we

the eye was concerned, been limited to view
OF mountain scenery, but now, there opened sud-
denly upon my sight an extensive valley, full OF
rich and varied landscape and presenting on ev-
eryside objects of novelty and interest. On the
left was Pondicherry mountain, over which the
travellers through the notch have a toilsome
ride, and far away to the South was Moose hill
lock, between and 5000 feet high, in the town
of Coventry, standing alone and unmoved though
the tempests of thousand years have beat re-
lentlessly upon it. la the rear were the mon
archs of the " bill coantrie'' towering far above
all other hills in sullen majesty: on tho right
were lesser bills of varied height and beauty !;
before me stretched in graceful undulations TO
the Connecticut river, beautiful country, where
woods and cultivated patches and the cattle on
thousand hills, adorned the landscape and fur
nished forth scene of SO much elegance, sim
piicity and variety, and SO quiet and peaceful
withal, that / know not when have been so a.
greeably impressed or felt my mind SO crowded
with emotions Of delight. The sun was looking
out from cloudless sky and there was no sound
to disturb the stiffness and repose Of the scene
save the distant murmuring of some brook which
was stealing its way through the valley, or the
faint tinkling of sheep bell as the flock were
gathering under the shadow Of some tree.
Passing over this valley arrived at the beau
tiful village Of Lancaster on the Connecticut
river, having been more than nine hours tray-
cling 28 miles, by which some idea may be
formed of the road. Lancaster is 112 miles
from Portland by the route North of the noun
tains, and is prettiiy situated on stepof the de-
clivity which descends westerly to the Connec-
ticut river.-I have thus landed you safe, Mr..
Printer, on the banks Of the Connecticut after
rather long and rough passage. You will find
the remainder of the way smoother and perhaps
equally fruitful in pleasant scenery.

After Absibal had been forcibly taken and car

the courier hurried down the mountain to inform

been conducting Abisbal TO France, and to re-

proceeding very slowly, near Vergara, recap

Such is the detail of what happened 10 this

ceroing him, some say he brought lady with
him, in mans attire, who remained at Tolosa.
Others say he brought with him bills of exchange
to great amount, and go ounces of gold. 1t
