..» Fropn the Notional Gazette. We haye caused the annexed article to

be translated friom a recent number of the Paris Journal des Debats. ft exhibits a case of unexampled havoc by asmglera-bid animal of the species.

"The following information was re­ceived from Commercy, llth of October.

'" A ftiriouB wolf has just finished nu­merous a.idjfrightful ravages upon sever­al points of the surroiindlng country not far distant from one another. We say a wolf,: as it is generaly believed that it is the isame Vor-aetptis animal which has.suc-cessfully appeared at Gitouet (an old conveiM of me Augusiins situated irt he territory of Grirnecourt,) at Chonville.at Erncourt, at Grthiecpart, and finally* at Sevonniers-eftrWoevre.

" Wednesday mprning the 2d of Octo^ ber, this wolf penetrated into the court yard of GiroiiPt, the draw bridge being lowered at the time. The farm house, that of the master, and the gardens, are .surrounded by, a large ditch filled with wafer, Perceiving it horse feeding in the ok-hartl, he ran towards him, and in­flicted upon him several severe bites, A woman »ho, from an apartment, had been a witness of the whole scene, seized upon a gun, but the wolf, on seeing her ap­proach, o ijckiy took to flight, and es­caped % swimming over the ditch.

"The sqrrj^day, at ten o'clock in the mpniiog, th^.^nimal, while travelling the village of 'Cligiiville, encountered irt the street the SJetjir Beclerc, and gave hi«n several wounds. Having left the village, he rushed furiously upon a woman of the name of .Jyjaury who was gathering potar-toes»'in a,fie)d# and cruellyrnangJed her.

"At four o'clock jn the afternoon, the wolf found upon the ban of Erncourt, at some distance from the woods of that vil­lage, an infant whom he lacerated in a shocking manner. The skin of the un­fortunate victim's head is torn off down, to the very neck; its nose is broken in twain; the face and body are covered with bites, Had not a shepherd hastened with a dog to his assistance, the infant would have perished on the spot., The (fog courageously attacked the enemy but the combat proved fatal to biror ?s it ter­minated in his destruction, The wolf gained the forest, from which he issued' three-quarters of an hour after on anofjv er side, arid killed another dog which made but slight resistance. ,

'^The ferocious beast entered about eight o'clock in the evening of the same day into the villiage of Grime-courts A, woman named Vannet was spinning by the light of the mdori before her house, which is at the end of the jstreet, and near to some meadows. The Wolf rush­ed upon her, tore the skin from her fore -head, prostrated tier, and covered her with wounds. The shrieks of the poor woman reached the ears of her sister in law, who ran to her* struck the .animal, and drove him off. At a short distance ftorn that place, the Wolf seized a Httle girl of eight years of age, by the head,* and dragged bier for the space of from ten to fifteen metres:. Several persons h'ast-eried to the place whence (he cries of"the infant prpceeded. Brabe Vannet, the courageous grrl who had already attacked the animal, arrived the first, and armed Avith an iron shovel, rescued from him his prey. The wolf having rapidly fled, it was thought''"that all danger was over; but the ,shejj}erd of the village and his daughter, having both heavy clubs in their hands and accompanied by a vigor­ous dog who hatd stationed themselves in order to wafci> him, had soon to defend their Jives. The wolf returning in the hope doubtless of finding again the in/ fant, attacked the sheperd, but cpuld not injure him on account of. the dexterity and skill with which he used his club*-^ The combat lasted for four or five rni-nutes, and it wa^ only w-hett.'he saw a nuniber of person^ arrived on the spot, that the animal topk to flight, The shep­herd's stick was covered with indentures made by his teetlr.

" Thursday, Oct. 4, the wolf, after ha yihg traversed during the night the space of five leagues without rinding, itappears, any new occasion to signalize hisferocity, arrived at Savonnieres, about 4,o'clock in the morning, If'he did noi pass the Mense by the bridges of Haun, Saint Mi-bier, Maizey or Pannoncourt, he must have crossed it hi swimming. Having entered into sevefcal stables by means of windows which Sad been left open, he bit four horses, three'assess three sheep, a cow, a goat, two little pigs, a dog, chick­ens, fee,, in allsikty two animals. What is still more deplorable, he multilated, in a greater; or less {degree, setreii persons; three men and fptir women, in the places to which; the people had been at­tracted by thej.firies of the animal, and in the pursuit aftfet him which was made,— At length, a yourig man, a conscript Pf the last levy, the; sellr Thomas, had the gpod fortune to disable him \rith a pistol ball, and finally trie siier Francis Marcjial if led him in a pig stye in which hebad ta­ken refuge* 'V

'Vln each of the places in which peir .sons had been bitten by the woin the re­spective Mayor? exhibited a zeal and ac­tivity worthy of the highest praise. They caused immediately medical gentlemen to attend to the Voinded, w hb all supported scarifications and cauterizations with the greatest patience and courage. On his side, from the first information received of these frightful events, the sub-piefect of Commercy hasteued to make every ar-rangemept suitable to Such aii emergen­cy, and to issue orders' for the welfare of the sufferers and the safety of the public.

" I t appears that the irtfant who was so dreadfully lacerated by the wolf at E'm-eourt is dead. The two individuals of Chohyillei those Of Grirnecourt and two of the Savoniers, ate at the last extrenii-tyv five of the wounded of the last men­tioned village have been transfered to Sainf Mihier; th^y have been carefully

I" attended in the hospital by the surgeons of the city and #u*»»bjn- These gentle-men afterwards wpaired to Savoniers to

prescribe fofthe two, wb|)it!i, on SccouPt of their'miserable condition, it \Vas impos­sible to convey to the^ri. '

"The animal having been carried to Saint Mihier, his body was opened. lie was of the ordinary sfed; with a head disproportionately large; he was consid­ered as beiiig about Wo .or .three years of age. The dubdentim Hv^S-fbund in­flamed ; the stomac|r cobtatr^d hot more than a handful of the plant called dog^s tooth scarcely macerated i, several pafts of the intestines were infected w'itjr differ* ent disorders fyc. It is not thou^fiStha.t these symptoms announce the hydropho­bia, nevertheless* every method js. em­ployed to prevent the occurrence of the, tearful disease."

The troth ofwe; aboye anecdote can her sustained .ijy,the, inost positive and unim-peachjibie; testimony. The gallant, th* patHotiri, the high rninded Decalnr him­self, has rJeHll^d'l^e.bircpKisjanees tp* se­veral highly respectable gentlemen in this state, The'flStaif toas made at a timer*

alor, unparalled in the history of this country—and that he was solely prevcjti' ted from its execution by the timely in­terposition of the gallaxjt Decatur., This charge has been embodied and embellish­ed in the following article in the Philar delphia Dempciatic Press: '

Genital Jackson, and Com. Decatur. —Allusion has been frequently made in the public prints, to an. interesting inter­view %hich occurred between these gen­tlemen, some >ears ago, hear the door of theU. States' Chamber. As I have de­rived the particulars from an authentic source, I shall take the liberty of subniit-ting them to the consideration of the

The extraordinary measures of Gener* al JaCkson during the continuance of the Seminole War not only elicteddeep and loud complaints from the public but at-» tracte the noticed of Congress. The subi je'ct was brought beibre the House* of Represeritatives by Mr. Clay, the present

. distinguished Secretary of $tate, He an­imadverted on the General's disregard of orders as well as of legal and constiJu^ tional restraint, with a degree of boldness and; eloqitence which even surpassed all his former efforts.

The General's conduct;was also made a subject of enquiry m the state* In this investigation Mr. Lacock and Roberts; of this state, arid Mr. Eppes of Virginia, took an active part. The Genera} com-plained with much bitterness of the course pursued by these gentlemen, and threat­ened to cut off their ear«. He selected, however, fl|r. Eppes, the son-in-law of the patriptic Jefferson, as the particular object of his veRgeance, arid sworei with his usual profanity, that he would chas­tise him in the midst of the body in which his ihjiiriotis observations had been made. This report reached the ears of the; gal­lant Decatur. He considered it hoyvever as one of those idle declarations which; men of intemperate passions not unfre-quently make, without any intention pf putting,theoi into-execution.

The last day df the session, the Senate had an evening sitting, for the purpose of receiving nieisages, from the President. Oft this occasion, the Commodore cpri-dneted: Mrs. Deeatnf to the brick Capitol, to witness- the cererrioriy of the adjourn­ment of the Senate, As they passed thrptigh a srnalj anti-ropm 16 tlie door of the Seriate Chamber, about nine o'clock at night, they saw with surprise General Jackson, with his two aids-de-camp, walking backwards and forwards, ap* pearing under the influence of greatest ''citeirieur. Sp soon as he conducted Mrs. Decatur to a seat in the lobby he return*-ed, and asked one of his aids whether or not it yrm true that Gen. Jackson intend­ed tp attack Mr. Eppes in the Seriate Charnber. The reply was\ such is the Ge-rierars intention, and such is the object-of his visit to the papitoi at this libun-^ He added farther * that it was altogether impossi'de for any one to alter his deter­mination.

Decatur then returneil to General Jacfe son, and observed, with that grave.and firm tone for which hetwas so remarka-able—-•'* I have jnst learned^, sir, wjtH deen.regiet, that the object of your visit to tlie capitol, at this late hour, is to chas­tise Mr. Eppes in the senate chamber.

The General replying with a voice fal­tering with passion, "yes, sir, the d-^n'd rascal: has injured my rejxqtationi aridjt will be revenged of hiin this evening.; I will: Cane him in the: senate chamber; I will teach the scoundrel Wimpeach tny conduct, or to call iii question the propri­ety of my measures."

" Then," replied the gallant Commo­dore, "yon are an undone man; your farne w ill be shipwrecked and the nation disgraced. For God's sake be diyerted from your purposes; the persons of our senators are sacred, when engaged in their deliberations, and it is, our duty to protect, and not assail them.

Whilst Decatur was thus, earnestly teri-deririghis advise, Jackson hastily inter-; rupted him with the following rerriark.-i-" I have made it- a rule in life, sir, to be reveriged of all insultsi and I am not'tp. be diverted from my purposes. By the eternal G—d, I will enter the seriate chamber and flog the d-^—d rascal."

Decatur slapped his hands tbgether in-his own peculiar manner and fietcely^ observed, A* you shall not enter that door* sir, unless it be over my] dead body."

Jackson stepped back ; his lips com-l Feiwdx^and hir '*- " * **•" * " ' ' '

Why should you wish to assign to Ge'n# Jackson the important duties of the pre­sidency, when his own biographer asserts;, that he resigned eivil stations that'iequir--

ed brily moderate talents, from, a con­scious inability to perform the duties of them, NESTOR.

Arid' this, we are given to understand, is a "full arid true account of the matter,"" Nothing escapes the ventabtej historian* He.reV all the particulais of the transac-tidn-^the precise words that were em­ployed by commodore Decatur, and those which were used % Gen. Jackson, are specifically stated,—and the whole set off by a positive affirmation from the writer, in the face of tlie world, that he faas.de-rived his information from a toorcttbat cannot be questioned.

This statement has been trumpeted forth in every qaarter of the Union as the authentic account of a most abominable transaction. It is indeed the reigning charge of the day. The impeachment of the wife of Gen. Jackson, the story of the six-militia men, the forged letter of Harris, have all been superseded by; thi$ last pointed publication. Ii hats beerf bpTai| circhlated and readtly h^ii^yerj^ without recollecting that it iasriedtfrpr^. the same manufactory of Mi»eprt^eyitpt^ tions which gave; currency to the celebra.-, ted Harris; letter—as ba|e arid flagfa^fc.a piece of fprgery a;s ever. was/utte*reCto. the world.

Wliat ^6re the friends of General Jackson to do under these circumstances £ Were they to let the calumny sweep over the country uncontradicted—or, were they to seek the truth where it was tP he found? The General had suffered the story to circulate unnoticed. He reljed upon his own Innocence and the justice of his country'. But as thejstory.^Vas ta­king a very wide range, and as it was pressed into the service of the detnanatttt-tion which was making on Virg,inia, one of gerieral JacksPn's friendst iiwtbe city of Richmond, who had many^riends and acquaintances in the state of Tenhes-see, was requested to ascertain if he cduld, the real slat$ of the case, in relation to the celebrated Sf4ty, iri order that it might be laid hefoJ'e the world.
