An extraordinary instance of preaenee of mind occurred a few
days ago at a village in the department of the (lard. A farmer,
whilst arcking some sleep which were missing, was attacked by a
wolf, which seised his mantle. The fanner immediately twisted
it round the ammars head, and held him to the ground. Beicg
unable to strangle the wolf, and no one being near, he remained
in this dangerous situation nearly an hour. Finding the struggles
of the animal became gradually less vigorous, he endeavouren
successfully to break his legs. At length he kneeled upon bis
throat, and tied his legs with his handkerchief. He next took a
Liege stone aad knocked out the animal's brains. At some dis.
tance were three children keeping sheep, who would
have fallen victims to the wolf's voracity.
Notwithstanding the vigorous measures adopted in Corsica against
the brigands wined itticst that country, and the formation of a
special corps to second the etfor.s of the gendarmerie, the number
of crimes onnimitted is most alarming. The Journal de la Coro%

In the space of less than two months there were no fewer than Id
murders, almost ell committed by persons tinder prosecution or

circumstances of the most atrocious kind. It is to be regretted that
as yet only one of the assassins has been apprehended.

llAroxxr, APRIL N.
The accounts from Madrid of the lath represent Spain as re-
ntaining in the same state of distress and of uncertainty with respect
to the measure, of the Government. Meantime many persons cos-
tinue to be arrested and imprisoned. Even the Nobles arc rot
ezenipc The Marquis of Palotnarez is arrested.
Madrid has been set fire to in tour places at once. Thanks to
the activity of the French garrison, it made no progress, and the
damage done -vas incorsiderable ; two children. hos ever, ye-
tished. The two pia-ties reciprocally accuse each other of this
crime.

On the 13th, in the evening, a Royal Resolution was published,

It is said, too, that the Count de Bourmout is going to be crested

party is going to obtati. ti:e sorer data."
