CAPTURE OF TI1E SEA-SERPENT.
A Dll'I LEGEND OF NA8ANT—liY RUFUS DAWES.
" Canst thon draw out Ltrialhan with a hook 7”
The throng of restless idlers who, iu summer leave
the hot bills of Boston to loiter on the rock-bound
shores of Nahum, were wrapped in the deep slumber
that always comes to stupjiy the rich inhabitants of
large cities, wherever they may be, at the very hour
when the voice of nature is loudest tn enjoyment, and
the blithe heart of her worshipper swells in the gener
al gladness. The many-tinted waves curling among
the sunken ledges, and sporting with tiic sea-weed,
where the inoffensive perch and tautog wore congrat

called the patient fisherman \a think of lines and
tackle. The surf broke high on the Pulpit Rock and
played more goutly in Swallow’s Cave, while the
Spouting Horn, triten-like, sounded its loud blast, and
hurled the scared waters fifty feet high, which, broken
into millions of bright globules, seemed to dust the at
mosphere and play round the base of a rainbow. As
you looked before you, from the Spouting Horn, Egg
Rock rose, about two tntlcs off, in solitary grandeur,
laced below by the white foam of the waters; while
on it* Western side, as yet by the shades of mornings,
the form of the white sea-gull was here and there dis
tinctly painted, as it rowed lazily along. Far on the
left, tho prospect was lost by the curve of the ocean,
which taking up tho rays of an heliacal rising, threw
them sparkling over the Atlantic at aa immeasurable
distance; white the clouds were changing fast, from
the crimson they had worn, to their more accustomed
and familial beauty. Behind you might be seen a pa
vilion, where '‘snug apprentices were wont to inscribe
their names, and pleasure parties, or transient strollers
were accustomed to rest themselves in their inid-day

THE CAUSES OF DISTRESS NOT THE CAU
SES COMPLAINED OF.
The specie circular is in the mouth of every federal
complaiuer in the United States. They lay all the
present throes of New York to the fact, that the late
President directed the public lands to be sold only for
cash, as is required by the act of Congress directing
their sale. He did not choose longer to avail himself
of the discretion allowed the Executive by the resolu
tion of 1810. ahd continue to receive Bank paper in
payment. We gave from liis message the reason for
his refusing longer u> employ the Executive discretion
granted by the resolution to defect the original aaid
permanent law of the laud. He found that the im
mense deposites of paper with the banks was calcula
ted, if continued, to throw upon the treasuiy a great
mass of unavailable funds, it was his duty to guard
against this result; and he performed this duty pre
cisely as the Bank of the United States did, when char
ged with the collection and guardianship of the public
revenue. That institution refused to receive the Suae
bank notes on deposits, and Mr. Webster, as one of
the committee, with Randolph and .others, approved
the course of the bank in a report which has been sac c-
tioned b) the acquiescence of every Congress since.- —
But beside* the recurrence to this approved policy, on
the general principle of taking care that the Govern
ment was not defrauded of its revenue, other end
strong collateral circumstances made the course o< the
late President peculiarly proper. The over issues, the
over-trading of the banks, had Ltecome portenticus of
the troubles which are now pressing upon the country.
Speculation had grown into an epidemic. To take
the public lands out of the hands »t the bankers and

The following curious inscription is faithfully copied
from a hoard over the door of an undertaker, at a vil
lage in Wiltshire, England.
John Hopkins, pariah clerk and undertaker, sells
epitaphs of all sorts and prices, shaves neat, and plays
nuUgh to accommodate an ordinary schooner: on the
top of this was atExcd a barrel of tar, which was put
there for a purpose which shall be presently explained.
Skirting the rocky border of this peerless peninsula,
some half a dozen forms were seen, which stood right
above die water, on high ground, and was sacred to
billiards and belles, a. solitary person was seen with a
spy-glass, busily turning ir. every direction, and rcrou-
neitcriug the bright ocean with" all thp •eagerness of a
look-out a: ten.
While thus occupied, he suddenly dropped his arm,
anl shouting to those on the rucks below, cried out—
"IItierc! the Set-serpent!—lie’s insight!—
look yonder!”
In an instant all eyes were directed to the object:
and sure enough, there was his oceanic majesty about
•i mile off. lying a little south-east of Egg Rock, his
form partly obscured by the dazzling influence of the
s in-beams. In three-minutes the party were together

showing some dozen protuberance*, terminated by a
h 'ad which rose several fvet above the billows.
I cannot stop to detail thu 'effects of this discovery
on the small party. But it was not long before one of
them wa* despatched to the hotel and the village, to
notify the oblivious crowd of the arrival extraordinary.
In a lew minutes it seemed as if. the "populous north"

A TRAVELLER’S TRICK—A FACT.
During a period of very active opposition between
the rival coach proprietors on the \Vextord road, the
down coach stopped at Rathnew. in the conn ty of
Wicklow, to breakfast; this repast, so indispcnsnble
to a traveller among the Wicklow mountains, which
delayed, under various pretences, till the coachman’s
horii announced the moment of departure; in vain
the passengers remonstrated against this precipitancy;
—he must drive to tiipe, and could not delay. When
at length he had succeeded iu getting hi* grumbling
company together, one gentleman was found wanting
and on “mine host” opening the door of the break
liut-room, lie found him quietly *eated at the deser

proportion as the banks in the West, ai id western dea
ler*, were saved from over-trading in the public lands,
is their ability to meet the just deman.ds of the East
upon their resources increased ; and tbc*. whole ten
dency of this specie order has been to produce this
good to our complaining merchants. 1 Did yet they
complain of the specie order as the caus e of all their
calamities, and never look to the great and obvious
cause which spreads dismay over Lond on as well as
New York, yiz: overtrading on the part <1 f individuals
~ocer-issues on the part of the banks.' .
But there are special causes which oper ate in New
York, on which tne merchants .willfully sht U their eyes
tor the sake of their politics. While the jr denounce
the specie order alone, (which helps them) simply be
cause it suits their politics to pursue the pa. triottc Pre
Bident to the Hermitage with their cursea, these mer_
chants forget— ... •.
1. That the burning of the city has levied ten mil
lions on them, which cripples their active *n ercantile
means to that amount.
2. They overlook the distribution of the /de q.osites,
which carries to each of the States a due jti .portion
of foe imposts paid by their citizens on tho i. uports,
which being collected and heretofore deposited, in N.
York, were, u.itil recently, enjoyed by that ci ty as so
much cash to trade on. In so far as this distr ib ution
is calculated to prevent the pressure from falli n, g on
the interior, and depressing the interests of tire pro
ducing classes, it may be considered a national i >'es-
siug; but it is not altogether on this account tliat the
merchants are satisfied with it. They know it wa s a
favorite scheme of their great political leaders; and in
the hope that it would foster their designs against tl ie
republicans, they patriotically celebrated the passeg *
of this (to them) oppressive law, bv a grand triumph?
in the city of New York.
3 They overlook the defeat of the fortification bill,
at two different sessions, by their friends, for the pur-
ose of increasing the dividends to the States; and
_ave not a harsh word for their political idols, who
have sacrificed the security of the seaboard, and cut
off the necessary and expected expenditure which
would have given employment to thousands, and caus
ed the circulation of millions of hoarded dollars among
the laborers who now suffer in silence, because it is the
interest of the lank aristocrats that murmur against
the policy of their political leaders should not be
heard. ...
4. They overlook the twice defeated bill (again in
troduced by Mr Wright at the last session) providing
for an immediate advance of tho back instalments of
the indemnity which Gen Jackson obtained from
France for our merchants. This whole sum would
have gone at once into the circulation of our commer
cial marts; but it was the policy of Messrs Clay, Cal
houn and Co. to make dividends, and the merchants,
whom Mr Wright’s bill wns intended to relieve, were
happy to show their devotion to these political apos
tles, by their self-denial, and so not a word is said a-
rainst this direct denial of justice and relief to the suf
fering merchants from our overflowing Treasury. It
was refused by the enemies of the administration, in
pursuance of a great political plan, and the merchant
could wel! bear the disappointment; it could be set
down to the specie order. . ...
The same grand design of embarrassing the admin
istration, and defeating its measures, and saving mo
ney for distribution, induced the war upon tee time of
Congress through the abolition agitation of Adapts nnd
Pickens, and the malicious impeachments of Wise and
Peyton’s committees. The opposition throughout the
Union were delighted with the success which atten-
ded the efforts of these fire-brand*, aided by all the
members uij^er <h c influence of the Federal and Nulli
fying parties, to destroy the bilk which were laborious
ly matured by the friends of foe administration in foe
two Houses. We add a list of the lost bills, many of
whicn perished under the speeches against time made
by Wise and Peyton, oi, the last nights of the session,
when they only waited an opportunity to be called up
and passed. Among those bills will be found one re
lieving the merchants from tome of the consequences
of foe fire.—Gl<d>e.
To send our specie to England at this crisis, would
therefore, destroy ourselves, and aid the British^ tones
in their present death struggle with the people.”
We are in the habit of attaching so little importance
to foe scribblers at Washington, that we publish the
above with very great diffidence. It is scarcely con
ceivable to us hmv any man could have obtained pos
session of such a synopsis, if these \vere the reasons
assigned by Mr Butler—and still mote, how he coul j
{ .retend to quote the very words of Mr Stevenson s
etter. It must be confessed that there would be much
plausibility and force, (if foe alleged statements of the
specie in the Western Banks be correct,) in the as
signed reasons—and in the extract imputed to our Min
ister to London. Mr Noah himself "is free to confess,
that there is much force in the causes assigned for
keeping the Circular still pending. "It will be obser
ved (adds he) that Mr Butler’s objections refer to an
immediate repeal of foe circular. Prosp.ectively there
can be no doubt of its being rescinded; tho objection
seems more to have reference to a blow anticipated
from abroad, than to relieve the pressure at home ;
and if it is the design of the Bank of England to draw
the specie from this country, to prevent or check em
barrassments abroad, it is clearly our policy to avert
that blow.by every possible effort at home.”

York Post, of the synopsis and its reasons ? Hear the

“We caution our readers against giving any credit
to the stories they read in the daily prints in the diape
of letters from YVashington, concerning the specie cir
cular. The writers of these letters talk of what has
been done in the cabinet councils, precisely ns if they
had officiated as private secretaries on the occasion,
and had the journal of the proceedings in their pock'

the specie circular has been under consideration All
that is sa d in these concerning the opinions of parti
cular members of foe Cabinet, is, to those who under

"The truth is, that this effect of the specie circular iu
causing the gold and silver of the country to be hoar
ded up in the banks beyond foe Alleghanies is enor
mously exaggerated: It appears from statements late
ly derived from the Treasury office, that foe increase
of specie in foe vaults of foe Western deposite banks
has increased since the issuing of that order but about
two millions, which we believe is not more than the
specie imported into the country during the same pe
riod. The rescinding of the specie order would pro
bably release the amount of coin which would tn

gradually find its way back to the Atlantic States.—

the opposition merchants, and otiiers of the same part-, i
in the town where the branch was located, petitioned '
tor Mason’s removal. This produced a correspc t .
dence between Mr. Ingham nnd Biddle, in which th; f

to be made principally by the enemies of the adir,i-.

so hardly on Biddle, tliat he gave it up and recarnc!

lend freely in times like these, after they had parted
with a portion of their specie; and with regard to our
own banks, they have just entered into an arrange
ment to enlarge the discounts a million and a half, with
out the revocation of the specie circuja \
"The revocation of the Specie Circular, snd such a
modification of it as to contorm it to the intent of the
bill passed by Congress at the session which has just
closed, we regard as a measure of very little moment.
The pressure has extinguisned the rage for land spec
ulation here, and it is extending itself westward with
the same offect. The citcun.stances of the country
are different now from what they were when foat cir
cular was issued, and the only reason for adherehig to
its provisions as it strikes us, is an apprehension that
the payments for the public la mis may otherwise be
made in a manner which will occasion loss to the Trea

THE TREASURY CIRPULAR
No one has hitherto been more decided against it
than Mr. Noah of the N Y Star—but even he appears
to be shaken by a letter published in the last Sunday s
N York "Morning News.” It professes to be derived
from an "unquestionable source,” at Washington, and
furnishes a synopsis of the reasons said to have been
urged by the Attorney General, in favor of retaining
foe Treasury Circular at present. The letter states, foat
the President made up his decision upon the reason*
assigned by Mr Butler:
"Mr Butler represented that if the order was note
repeated, foe western and, south-western banks would
not he able to keep foeir specie, and. while they parted
with that, they would at foe same time increase their
issues and other facilities to a large extent.—The speci*
would flow to New York, in payments of debts due to
the merchants and jobbers of tliat city, for last year’s
importations, and would be immediately shipped to
England, to pay the forty or fifty million* which we owe
her on account of those importatiqps. In a few
months our stock of specie, which now exceeds seventy
millions, would thus b^reduced to less than thirty mil
lions, while, at the same time, the bank issues of paper
would be greatly increased. The consequence, he ar-
6 ued, would be a general crash of all the banks, and
le total loss to the government of foe revenues which
have accumulated in the deposit banks, lie represen
ted that foe deposit banks will not, even under the most
favorable-circumstances, be able to pay the next quar
ter’* instalment of tbe surplus ordered to be distribu
ted amongst foe States, without greatly distressing their
debtors; and tliat, if the small specie basis, which now
barely sustains their circulations and agreements,
should be much diminished, it would be idle to expect
them to pay one dollar of what fltey owe to tht gov
ernment. ....
“He also urged that, by the revocation of the order,
foe speculations in public, lands would be vastly in
creased, and the whole national domain, eo far as it is
now subject to entry, would be immediately bought up
by speculators, with deposit bank notes, not worth a
farthing. The people, he further argued, who had
long been passive, trader all foe fluctuations of the cur
rency, were becoming uneasy, and, upon the first ex
plosion of a government deposit bank, would demand
foe re-establishment of a national bank The utmost
prudence and precaution would be necessary to avoid
that result.
"Letters were also produced from our minister at
London, from our consul at Liverpool, and othgrs,
suggesting foat every practicable method should be re
sorted to by the government, to retain the specie now
in the country. They state that England is on the
brink of a great financial and political convulsion, and
foatlhe bank of England will be obliged to suspend
rdeas foe effort* then making for
1836.

times, who isport with millions robbed from hard work
and honest, trade by paper contrivances! ‘‘Let mil

5 question in tact was, whether the
banks "n this side of the water, or on that, should first
blow up. The political disturbances of England, says
Mr. Stevenson, ate greatly promoted by her financial
embarrassments, and if flic latter continue, foe former
must soon come to a crisis. If the money power is
crippled and e-ebarrassed, the Democracy of the
country will triumph, and Ireland will be emancipated.
If j; be so essential to England to regain it, to sup-
its national ban ft, tottering trader redundant paper
issues and the credit and commerce of that country,
why is it useless to us, when suffering under the same
pressure from the same causes ?
Hp>v ridiculous and absurd to hear the press of a ci
ty crying out for i mney, to save its merchants front
bankruptcy, at the same time exclaiming, “we donut
tcajft gold and silver! /” If paper will pay their debts,
it certainly may be manufactured. But will paper do,
unless there is specie to give it currency ? It will not
dp in London, as appears from flic following article of
the London Times of the 4fo of March:
' LONDON, March 4.
As one effect of the 1-ssJ bank notice will be that of
leaving all the available means at command for the
use of the trading interest exclusively, it is supposed
that the great commercial engagements which will be
at maturity.in this and the next week, will be met with
less difficulty than was anticipated.
One of the great objects on which attention is fixed
in the city, is the trade yrith the United States, and the
prospect of obtaining remittances from thence in bull
ion, which the state of our commercial relations with
that country would appear to render all but certain.
That considerable shipments to have come within a few
days both to France and Englai d is well known, but
they have not yet foad the supposed consequence of
lessening the amount in circulation in the U. States.
VYliat they have shipped for Europe has been more
than replaced by supplies from Mexico and South A-
tnerica. By the last return the imports into N. York
were $300,000, and those into New Orleans $400,000.
Every possible exertion will be made to retain the gold
which is in circulation in the Union, for which the
people have acquired a strong predilection. Our mer
chants look with much confidence to the result which
is most important at this time, and think that bulliou
must be obtained from thence in spite of every exer
tion to prevent it
Regulation of the Currency.—The partizans and de-
votet-y f the British agency in Philadelphia, assume to
say that nothing but the Bank of the United States can
regulate the currency, and keep the business of the
country is a steady, uniform and prosperous condition.
-The Bank of the United States had loaned ntor.-
than ft8£_niilIions on the 1st of February—wiih a cr.
culation of 9,262,057—and specie 2,161,441. On the
1st March, its loans were more than 5Gj' millions—cir
culation 9,470,171—and specie 2,653,272. Thus in
one month, it curtailed its loans 2 millions, and a ( ^„j
about half a million to its specie—by both opeisai.-j
adding to the pressure.

“To-day being Saturday, when the workingmen ve

laboring mon turned out of employ, as it is utterly
impossible to obtain money to carry on any kind of
