Counterfeit Change Milt.—'Within two or three days past a large number of counterfeit change bills of the Darien Bank have been put incircula- tlon in this city—they can, however, be very cn ally detected. The genuine bills are letter press printing, on light paper—the counterfeits are from on engraving, on darker and thicker paper, and the letters have a boldcrappearance. The signs- . ture-of the counterfeits Is much more contracted and is placed at a greater distance from the word Cashier, than In the genuine bills. The execu tlon of the bills is ulso very bad—on the 12 1-2 cents, the steam boat differ* very materially from that on the genuine ones—there is also considers blc ditferencc in the appearance of the arms of the state on the 50 cent bills. We could particu larise many other parts of them which differ from the true bills, but we are satisfied that any person who examines one of them, will easily detect the deception. The Rogue Caught.—Since writing the above we learn that a man named Davey Devoy, and Ills w ife were apprehended.this morning on suspi cion of being concerned in the circulation of the above bills, and on examination, a number of them were found in possession of the woman, and ten (5 bills oftbe Franklin Bank,NewYork, and a $2 bill of the Bank of Augusta, signed Abel Mann, Cusbicr, Charles Ross, President, were found in tbe house. They were both examined before Jus* Hco F.ppinger, and Davey was committed for tri al, but there being no |>roof against the woman (he was discharged. Davey has lately returned from New York, where he is supposed to have procured the bills. 'Mr. Jons Scddder has becu appointed Pout- master in this city, vice i leazer Early, resigned.

La Fayette. The lively sensibility which animates the citizens of this place, nnd the people throughout the union, ut this visit of the friend of man, and great benefactor of the American family, loudly proclaims the injustice of the assertion, that “Republics arc ungrate ful.” From one extremity of the United States to the other, a magnnimity of senti- of no misconstruction—It is the voice of joy and gratitude consecrating to poster! ty the fame of an individual whose life hns been regulated by the purest principles of philanthropy, and who bus been eminent ly instrumental in extending the blessings of civil and religious liberty to ten millions of people. Never since the adoption of the federal government,1ms so rich a theme of exultation been offered as that which the arrival of Gen. La Fayette affords to the virtuous nnd enlightened citizen, whilst the moral force of the spectacle which it presents, will reach the most unlettered mind among us. The General is now absent from the city on a visit to "West Point, Albany, nnd other places on the North river—On his return, he Will immediately proceed to Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, A* c. and will probably reach Savannah about the last of November, where I have no doubt this distinguished mnti will be re ceived w ith the most enthusiastic jpy.

It is also stated in letters from Paris, that the. French government would immediate ly follow the example of Great Britain, and that a proclamation to that effect had been already prepared The Loudon Public Ledger of the 7th of August, in speaking of the French Ministry,says—“No change, in the usual sense, bus taken place: there has been for example, no dismissal, and no introduction of a new individual but merely a shifting of parts between the old Dramatis Perso nae, with the exception of M. de Villclc, who retains his situation as Manager, as well as Principal Performer” All the ar rangemrnt* arc said to have been to ac commodate M. dc Villclc, and to consoli date liis power.

SEA SERPENT.—Thc Salem Obser ver gives the following account of the Sea Serpent, token from a statement furnished by Mr Philip Lefavour, the skipper of n fishing vessel, belonging to Marblebcud It is, says thc editor, the most particular account we have yet seen, and as its au thenticity is beyond djspute, it must satisfy tbe most incredulous on this subject, that there is a monster in tbe sea resembling a serpent. “ While on their late voyage, and about six leagues from Marblehead, they fell in with- him, and be was so near, that thc skipper, when standing at thc helm, was obliged to incline bis body, to look over upon him. He- continued so near the boat long enough to be harpooned an hun dred times. The skipper and crew were .satisfied that bis back is perfectly smooth and that the protuberances heretofore at tached toit, arc owing to his undulating motion. His licad is as large as half a bar rel. His tail is blunt as though it were .cut square off, and of whitish color, grad ually becoming darker till it exhibits the -blackness of a black snake. He shifted Ids posture several times, sometimes lay ing at full length, when he appeared over 60 feet, at other times assuming, a spiral form, resembling the worm of a still. He changed his posture very easily. His whole appearance was terrific, though he seemed harmless.” The correctness of this statement may be depended on, for the skipper and crew are men well known in Marblehaad, and their veracity has never been impeached.
