Uwhich have various significations, can be known

passage. ' .

. i - CoMMo.\i VERSION. _

Gen. xxxvii. 3.—-Now Israel loved Joseph
thorn than all his children, because he was the
son of his old age ;,and he made him» a Coat Of
-many colours. * »
.. V _ New Venszox. .

Now Israel preferred Joseph before any of his
“sons-, for "a successor of the ‘eldership after him,

i ‘ andhe made for him a vesture of supplication. .

VVhat shall we understand by ‘ a successor of
‘the eldership after him I’ The original. of this
phrase consists only of two nouns ; the one al-

-_ Yways son, and the other oldagc, as far as I am
acquainted. We have an example of the same
wordin Gen. xiii. 2. ‘ For Sarah conceived, and
bare Abraham a son, in his old age.’ ‘V35 Abra-
-ham ‘ a" successor of ‘elders/1z']z’ to Sarah? His
t .-m.=s-ture- a,” su/2/zlz'cm,*z‘on” is equally absurd. The
Hebrew word, which he has rendered ‘ supplies-
tion,’ has no other meaning-in the ‘scriptures than

_jmr't1'-‘coloiorcd, -various-coloured, U‘/c. as the same
word is rentlered, with propriety, in 2d Sam. xiii.
18. ‘ And Tamar had a garment of dz'vcr.i-colours
upon her; for with such robes were the kings
daughters, that were virgins, apparalled;‘ and
verse 19th, ‘ And-Tamar put ashes on her head,
and rent her garment, of divers-colours, that was
‘on her," ‘size.

' . Common VERSION.

Jar. iv. lO.—-Then said I, alt Lord God, surely
thou hast greatly deceived this people and Jeru-
salem, saying, ye shall have peace, whereas the
sword reacheth to the soul.

New VEltSION.

Then I said, ab 1 Lord Jehovah, truly to deso-
-lation hast thou desolated this people, even to Jer-
usalem, for saying peace shall beamong you, but
the sword reacheth to the soul.

This is nearly correct—the word which he has
rendered ‘ desolation,’ has no other meaning ; it
consists of a verb and participle, and literally ren-
dered, should be, in desolating thou hast dcsalakd ;
a phraseology which often occurs in the Hebrew.
It is rendered in the common version in Isaiah
 ll. ‘ utterly desolate,’ which showsvthe incon-
sistency of its being rendered as above, because
it here speaks, ‘ that cities shall be wasted willi-
out inhabitant, and the houses without man, and
the .’z._'7zd 11:: utterly desolate.’

_ V COMMON Vnnsroiv. _ g

.1594. xx. '.".-—-U Lord, thou hast deceived me,
and I was deceived ; thou art stronger than I, and
hast prevailed. '

» New Vsusxon.

Thou hast persuaded me, O Jehovah, thus

. I was persuaded; thou hast strengthened me, and
hast prevailed.

The word PATHMI, which he has translated
‘fzfr-s":.'ac1ea',’ may appear, perhaps, toigive better
sense to the passage, though the verb signifies,
more frequently, to deceive, seduce, allure, and
sometimes ‘fzcrsuade.’ It is used in all these
senses in different parts of the Bible, viz. Dcut.
xi. 10. ‘ Take heed to yourselves that your heart
he not deceived.’ Job. xxi. 27. ‘ And my heart
hath been secretly critical.’ Prov. xxiv. 28.
‘And dc-ccive not with the lips.’ And a passage
similar to the one in question, Exod. xiv. 9. ‘ If
the llrophet be deceived when he hath spoken at

‘ thing, I the Lord /zave deceived that prophet, and
will stretch out my_hand upon him, and will des-
troy him from the midst of my people Israel.’
‘Pcrsuadcd’ could not supply the place of ‘de-
ccivcd,’ in either of the abovepassages, and es-i

- pecially the last, the prophet is destroy:-.d for be-
ing deceived,’ what we are to understand by this
verse, is not my province to say. The same
word is rendered in the common version, Prov.
‘xxv. 15. " By long forbearing is a prince /zersua-
glrd.’ -And Hosea ii. 14. ‘Therefore Itvillullure
her,’ Ste. But as the principal meaning of this
is ‘ to deceive,’ he ought to have better authority

-{than he has to alter this passage, especially as
thereyare so many instances in which it can have

no other signification.
.The above -13 verses are all I have seen of
his translation, though I presume the work.is al-

. ready republished and circulating in various parts
of the country. It is to be lamented that it should

,. meet with any approbation from the public; for
if he has accumulated errors through the whole
scriptures, in the same ratio, it must be a mass
of poison most probably fatal to some of the-high-
est interests of our race. .

That a translation of the Bible, by one individ--
ual (and he not known in this country as posses-
ing any remarkable talents.) should assume the
place of one translated by forty seven jzcraons,
eminent in learning, and well versed in the orien-
tal languages, is matter of astonishment ; espe-'

’ . ~,cially as the latter has stood the test of more than

two /zzmrlred years. AMICUS.

_ You were called into the field to punish.sav.a-

ner, used the tomahawk and scalping knife, upon
our helpless citizens on the frontier. You have
pursued them to Mikisuky, St. Marks, Sewanéy
and lately to this place, through an ——unexplored-
wilderness, encountering immense difliculties and
privations, which you met, with the spirit of
American soldiers, without a murmur. Your,
General a_ntic,ip-ated a close of the campaign on
his return to Fort Gadsden; and hailed the‘ hour
with feelings of gratitude to heaven, at the'pr_us.-
pect of relieving youfrom your" labors, by pla-
cing you in quarters and returning you to your
homes. B_ut how great was the disajipointniefit,

the protest of "the Governor of “lost Florida,
threatening to employ force if we did not imme-
diately evacuate the country. This new and un-
expected enemy was soon taught to feel the im-
portance of his threats. You entered Pensacola
without opposition, and the strong fortress of tho
Barancas could hold out but one day against your
determined courage. Your General cannot help
admiring the spirit and military zeal manifested,
when itwas signified that a resort to storming
would be necessary, and would do injustice to
his own feelings, did he not particularly notice
the judgment displayed by his aid-rle-camp, capt.
Gadsden ofthe engineers, in the selection of the
positions for the battelies, and the gallantry of his
second aid capt. Call, and capt. Young ofthe To.
pographical engineers, in aiding him to erect the
works under the fire of heavy batteries within
400 yards ; aswell as the skill and gallantry of
captain Peters, lieuts. Minton and Spencer, in the
direction and management of the nine pounder,
and that of lie_ut. bands and Scallon charged
with the management of the howitzer.

Capt. M’Keever, of the navy, merits, as he
has on several occasions, my warmest thanks for
his zealous co-operation and activity in landing
two of his guns (should an additional battering
train be necessary) and gallantly offering to lay
his vessel before the water battery, in the event of
storming the upper works; V/l.lS officers and crew
deserve his confidence. _

The General assigns to Col. King the com-.
mand of l’e1:sac.ola and its dependencies, andthat

 

palachicola and Chattahoochie rivers, until other- ~
wise ordered by General Gaines. The Colonel
will take measures to have the volunteers now at
P-.-nsa.cola relieved, prepzuatory to their return
march. . The Tennessee volunteers will be ra-
tioned for five days, and will forthwith move for
Fort Montgomery, where they will receive fur-
their orders. , I

The General, in taking leave of Col. King and
his command, tenders to the officers and soldiers
an affectionate farewell. '

T/ze Sca Scr/zen: ./1gaz'n.—--_The following ac’-
count of the Sea Serpent, while it fully confirms
former statements as _to his enormous size, gives
a more just idea’ of his monstrous powers than
any which has preceded . How vast must be
the body of a Serpent that when lying in the wa-
ter could easily, and for_a.leng_th of time, support
near fifty feet of its length in an erect position a-
bove the surface I and how wonderful his strength
who could attack and beat the VVhale in mere
sport ! Isthis not the Leviathan indeed ? Capt.
W'est is a man well known to us—-'-and the cor-
rectuess and veracity of his statement will not be

-I, Shubael VV est, of Hallowcll, in the county
of Kcnnebcc, master of the packet Delia, plying
between Kennebcc river and Boston, testify and
say, that I left Boston on themorning of Sunday
the 21st inst. and at about 6 o'clock, P M. Cape
Ann bearing W. S. W.about 2 leagues, steering
a course N. N. E. saw directly ahead, distant

three fifths of a mile, an object which I have no

doubt was the Sea Ser/zcnt so often mentioned by
others, engagedwith a W/zale that was endeav-
ouripg to elude the attack. The serpent threw
up his tail from 25 to 30 feet in perpendicular di-
rection, striking the Whale with tremenduous
blows rapidly repeated, which were distinctly
heard and very loud, for 2 or 3 minutes. They
then both disappeared for several minutes moving
In a W’. S." W. direction, when they reappeared
in shore of us, and under the sun, the reflection
of which, was so strong as to prevent our seeing
so distinctly as before. They again went down
for a shore; time and again came up under our
latboard quarter, the Whale appearing first and
the Serpent in, pursuit. Here our view was ve-
ry fair. The Serpent shot up his tail through
the water to the height above mentioned, which
he held out of _the water some time, waving it in
the air, and at the same time,while his tailre-
mained in this position, raised his head leisurely

15 or 20 feet, as if taking a view of the surface
of the sea. After remaining in this situationa
short time, he again sunk into the water, disap-
peared, and was not seen aftcr,‘fv any on board.

. The Serpent's body was larger in my opinion,
than the must of any ship I ever saw ; his tail
appeared very ragged and rough, and was shaped
soinething like an ee "* nd his head like thatof
the land serpent. B'%well acquainted wit
whaling, I think the w cwas endeavouring to’
escape, as he spouted but once at a time on com-
ing to the surface. The Whale’s back was dis-
tinctly seen as well as his spouting, and the last
time he appeared he went down before the Ser-
pent came_ up. The above_ was seen by all on
board, amounting to 15 or 18 persons, as well as
myself, with the exception of one woman.

During our view, the combatants had passed a
mile or more. The VVhale wasa hump back,
and a pretty large one. SHUBAEL \VI=.sT. '

together witha sample of it, I would remark, that
although I have found noreason for changing my
well known. opinion of the pernicious effects of
the inordinate use of tobacco, in any form, Inev-

yours. The articles are certainly innocent in
their qualities. T hose liable to nervous and oth-

tressing affections, most commonly subside on a

spontaneous sneezing towards night, and if this

give the preference to your Snuff over that.ol'
