At the Souih they are already in high repute. And at the north too, , fr as they have been tried. than profit had kept ine roaming for some months among the West India Inland, that land of magnificence and discomfort : and from all that I had heard there, nnd more particularly iVoin w hat came under my own observation, I can truly affirm that, to Europeans in general it is a land replete with novelty and interest, nnd to writers both of fiction and truth, a field in which they may reap an abundant harvest of reputation. I nt length found myself at Bar badoes, without any fixed resolution either to return or proceed farther on in my wander ings1. In such a wavering and unsettled state of mind, a little matter will sometimes turn the scale. I had carried a letter to a gentleman ofthe island, with whom I formed a most a grecable acquaintanceship; and in conscqccnce of the description he gave trie of the coast of South America I was induced to form the reso lution of visiting at least n part of that country before I should think of bending my course homewards. Being furnished by him with letters to one or two individuals w ho might be of service to me, I took a passage in a ship bound to Pemerara, and ofler a voyage in no degree remarkable for slmrtncs or novelty, I landed there in salety. I will not stop here to describe ali I saw. Suffice it to say, that hav ing viewed all 1 considered worthy of being no ticed, I set oil" across the country to deliver one of the letters I carried with tnc to a gentle man from whose attention and knowledge I had been assured I should obtain much information. After a journey of some days, I reached the plicc : and considering that I had been pre viously an utter stranger, I was received with a degree of warmth and kindness I could scarce ly have anticipated. The estate, or rather plantation, on which I had been so kindly invi ted to take iip my residence for some tinip, and where I had resolved to spend a few weeks in examining the local scenery and etiriosites, lay upon the banks of a river that comes down from the mountains ofGuiann. Mr. Ileinvault (the proprietor,) although the superintendence of his estate occupied a great part ol his time, contrived to devote no iuconsidrrahlc portion of it to my amusement. Accompanied by a couple of servant, and Cosar, a shrewd and active negro who held the post of hunter (a personage not only useful, hut even necessary to those who reside on colonial estates distant from any town, as many of the delicacies ofthe table are furnished by him,) we made frequent excursions up the country, and committed oc casionally sad havoc among the quadrupeds and feathered tribes with which that region a bounds. At other times wo manned a couple of canoes, and descending the river, we em ployed ourselves iu fishing excursions, or in taking a t-hot ot such birds as unfortunately for themselves came within range of our pieces. Those who arc aquaintcd with the general ap pearance nnd topography of the northern coast I of South America, know well that from the flatness of the country so it approaches the sen, many rivers of considerable magnitude di vide themselves into numerous streams or ca nals, before mingling their waters with those of the ocean. The deltas or islands formed by these streams are sometimes of great extent, consisting, like most of that roust, of marshy or savannah land, partly bare, and partly overrun by tall reeds mid canes, oj other aquatic plants. In the thick and almost impervious recesses of these, reptiles of various kinds often find a re treat, from which they occasinally emerge in search of their prey. The streams are in ma ny places frequented by aquatic birds of the most variegated and beautiful plumage, and the waters afford several kinds of fish, which from their delicacy ami flavor, amply repay the labor employed in taking them. I had been informed, both by Mr. Ilein- , vault and Ciesar, that serpents of a great sue j had Ih'pii frequently weti by them crossing the 1 lagisins from one island to another, and that by great exertion, nnd not without difficulty, lln-y had succeeded in destroying a few. I confess I hud been for sometime anxious to discover one of these reptiles; not that I wished u close connection with it tar from it. The little I bad seen of them had given me an aversion to them, and this feeling was much lightened by the numerous stories I had.heurd of their fearful powers of destruction and deglutition. I had no objections, however, to view one at a dietance, "dragging its slow trembling length alon." But in all our excursions nothing of this kind was to be seen, and I had begun to conceive some latent suspicions that Mr. Ilein vault anil (Vsnr hud a little rxaggeratt d the number and sue of the reptiles they bad seen and destroyed. But an adventure fcooii after this befel me, which made me entirely change my opinion of their veracity, and convinced mo that their account rather fell short of than ex ceeded the truth. Occasionally, when pressing business detained Mr. Ileinvault at his p'.atila- tion, or called him to a distance, and w hi n 1 found time hang heavy upon my hands, Ctesar described passed in a much shorter tune th in I was always willing to volunteer his services as have taken up in recounting it my guide una assistant in any ranitues w'ucli As I went up the stream with all Ihe velocity I wished to undertake; nnda cleverand active ,.( j,,mt to the canoe, I hurd the reo.l I'll I l r i ' iciiowi inuceu ioiinii nun. lie was a capital n,,,,,,,, which the auou il was apparently taking shot, ond unequalled in the success with which r,,U,0 rraslln,, ,,,,,1 l(s weight.

You may nahs, he was obliged to tukc Ciesar with him be certain I lost no time in communicating to he being the only one on the estate who had a him the almost miraculous escajio I had made, thorough knowledge ofthe way, and who, from and the wound I had inflicted on the animal his dexterity and address, proved a useful and 'In that case,' said he, 'it cannot escape; we agreeable attendant lie added, that he should must immediately go in search of it; and in- be back early in the afternoon, and that if I stantly summoning Ctrsar, he told him to get wished to take a stroll, or goon the water, any the guns ready, and touting two of histellowj ofthe rest of his people should beat my dis- with him.

But as the evening wore on, I completely recovered ; and never do I re collect spending a more agreeable one.
