SEA SERPENT AT HALIFAx.-Ihe
Nova Scotian of July 81, contains a
particular account, on the authority OF
several witnesses, of the appearance
of large Sea Serpent in the harbor
of Halifax, on the afternoon of the
18th. 1t was seen by young gentle
man who happened to be riding past
the wharf at Mr.. Goreham's tan pit,
accompanied by some ladies. He rails
ed his head about three feet out OF wa
ter, its body was the size OF a large
log, and appeared to be at least 90 feet
long, and ii forced itself along by wig
cling sort of motion. 1t remained a
bove water about FIVE minutes, at a dis
lance of about sixty yards. The edi-
tor of the Nova Scotian went to the
spot and learned these and other par
ticulars, which were confirmed by the
young gentleman, theladies, Mr.Gore-
ham, his family and servants. 1t Is
also confirmed with the additional par
ticulars by Mr.. William Barry, OF Ha-
lifax, who was going into the haroor
the same evening, in whaling boat,
and with the men in the boat, observed
it for some time. He saw the head
distinctly, and at one time eight coils
of his body above water, and is per-
suaded that he is at least sixty feet in
length. Boston Dd'1y .aao.

FROM KEY WEST.

Charleston, august lo.-By a gentle
man, passenger, in the schr. Thorn, ar
rived yesterday from Key West; we
learn that the Yellow Fever was pre-
yailing at that place, 10 an alarming ex-
tent. When Com. Warrington left
there, Is or 6 weeks past) there were at
the Island about 80 Marines, and from
so to 40 sailors. Ofthis number, when
our informant departed, but 8 men OF
the marines were enabled to perform
duty, two thirds of them being dead
and the remainder lying very i'll. Lieut..
Com. Topper was left in a dying state.
The fever was also very fatal among
the saiIors-the hospital being crowd
ed with the sick and but or 6 enabled
to do duty. Capt. Jas. Nc. Mcintosh
the Commander of the Island was down
with the fever. Sailing master Hardy
commanding the Navy Yard, had just
recovered from severe illness. lhe y.
S. sloop Hagabond, under command OF
Midshipman Fatio,' had been dispatch
| ed for the purpose Of endeavoring to
fall in with Com. Warrington, otf ia
yana or Matanzas, to inform him Of
the great mortality prevailing at Key
| West, and to advise with him concern.

THE CROPS.

The accounts given Of the prospect
of the Crops in North-Carolina, vary
in different papers. The Cata,cba Jour
nal. printed at Charlotte, on the I'd inst.
saws, "The accounts from all parts Of
the State, in relation 10 Corn Crops, are
very encouraging. In this quarter,
with some few exceptions, the crops OF
corn are unusually promising. The
season, thus far, has been propltious,
and we have every encouragement to
expect an abundant harvest. Cotton,
also, looks well, and promises a liber-
al reward to the farmer. The Wheat
Crops, in some parts of the country,
suffered severely from the rust, and in
some instances they were not cut, not
being considered worth the labor; but
on the whole, the cultivators Of the
soil have abundant cause for gratitude;
and little cause for murmuring or dis
content" A quite different complex
ion is given to the season in the Yes
tern Carolinian of the same date, prin-
ted at Salisbury. That paper says,
"In many parts of this, and some sec.
tons of the adjoining counties, Corn
and Cotton, more particularly the for
mer,) have suffered very much from
the drought-so much so, indeed, that
many fields of corn will not yield hall
the usual crop. For two weeks past
there have been few showers of rain,

ATALL FRESHMAN.

81. John, N. B. July as.-The Phila-
delphia Gazette says, that MIR. Magee,
eight feet nine inches high, from the coun.
ty of Tyrone, Ireland, has arrived al
that port in the ship Conestoga. His
brother is at present III this city; ne
came in the Relief, from Belfast last
month. He measures we are told, ou,
sir feet ten inches, very stout made, and
possessing an uncommon degree OF
strength. We are inclined to think the
Philadelphia Editor has stretched MIR
Magee about a foot and hall, as we
are credibly informed he is ONLY serer
feet four inches.

which were greedily absorbed by the
famished earth, but early corn was
mostly past relief from rain, or any
other help" The conclusion ofthe ar
ticle, however, is more agreeable.
"Yet," it continues, Notwithstanding
the unfayorableness Of the season, we
do not apprehend any scarcity Of Corn.

FROM JAMAICA, CARTHAGENA AND
PERU.

PERU.
By the Aeenora, at Philadelphia, we
have received our regular files OF ia
maica papers to the goth, and Cartha-
pena Gazettes to the 9th of July. An
Extra Car,hagena Gazette OF the sth,
saws, we have the pleasure OF inserting
the official account of the defeat and
death of Gen. Olaneta, which having
nut the seal to the liberty OF Peru, is at
the same time forcible lesson to those
obstinate Spaniards Of that which they
ought to expect in the affairs OF South
America. :,
Gen. Rodil held out within the walls
of Callao. The siege continued IN the
same protracted state as heretofore,
but the partial encounters to which 1t
gave rise, are favorable to the Patriot
arms.
On the 2sth of March, Gen. Olaneta
evacuated the city of Arequipa, which
on the day following was taken posses
sion of by the Liberating army. The
loss of the enemy on this occasion was
about one hundred men, one fourth OF
his force. Col. Valdez'after his various
reverses in Chuquisaca, attempted to
Join his army with that OF Olaneta; but
being constantly harrassed by colonei
Lopez, his troops sustained very consi-
derable loss.
A despatch from General Sucre, da-
ted in Arequipa the l4th of April, says
Colonel Don Carlos Medina-Celi
having proclaimed on the 3oth March,
in the town of Chicas, the indepen-
dence of Peru, attacked the army OF
Olaneta on the LIST of April, in his po-
sitions in Vitichc, and ultimately de-
feated him in Tumusla-as will appear
by the following despatch written in
Polosi on the Sd of April.
To His Eroellency Sr. .aatonio Jose de Sucre
otis with the greatest JOY | take up
nv pen to communicate to you the Tor
tunate result of Yesterdays encounter
with the enemy, General Olaneta, and
the divisions which remained attached
10 him. The artillery, baggage, and
the Genel al himself, who is MORALLY
wounded, have fallen into our hands.
The great personal efforts, which the
General OIaneta made in this action,
exposed him to this misfortune. After
obtaining this victory, they have pro-
posed to me capitulation, in which
humanity, from the grief and humility
with which the proposition was accom-
panied, has compelled me to acquiesce.
Respecting this, and every other occur
renee, your excellency will be informed
by the bearer Of this dispatch; for, de-
voting myselfto remedy that disorder
which has originated this warfare, and
anxious TO decide the terms OF the ca
pitulation by s o'clock tonight, l am
not enabled to enter into any further
particulars. As soon as shall be a
little relieved from these pressing cir
cumstances, will hasten to give your
excellency more succinct detail. l
conclude with the intelligence, that
General Olaneta has just expired"
God preserve your excellency,
