Intonsequence, the Captain General- ordered them to

giving any informs:ion respecting theresideace;of :this

pernatut al powers toMatteo,by whom he was thotilit to
he a demon in human form. It appears certain that he
had been guilty of several murders, but the circntn• -
stances .of the following one are so well authenticated
that no doubt can be raised as to his guilt. A young
female, aged eighteen, the daughter of a mountaineer,
possessing considerable beauty, was seen and loved by
Masten, who in a short. time .made proposals to marry
her. The father embed ; but the young person,
iliiiitolit showing "iptiatieisirin to the suitor declined

that some favoured rlieal4rlacedobstacles in the way of

Piciois. proved* to be tote.. ~A youth, about .the age
of the female, was loved by. her.. She had, however, a
motive for concealing- her attaehmeotthe family of
her lover was,- in.consequersce of some pecuniary trans-
actions, on terms with tier father, ,stud until these
quarrels were.-terminated, she knewrithae. her•parent

.though, until this pet iod,. Ma. teo bi'6 bet n lea ding an it-'
.egular life, he had dot rendered:himself guilty of any act
'that might forfeit his liberty ; but the worst of passions,'
jealousy, took full sway over the wretched Inan-lhe de-
termined to murdertil rival.Thelat ter was in the custom
of calling twice a week upon his mistress, bat the fact was
unknown to everybody, except to lklatteo--he watched
an opportunity, when his detested rival was kneeling at- '
the feet of his beloved, and rushing from behind a
'large tree, he stashed the youth through his heart, and
drawing the stilleto from his body, be instantly plunged
it into the bnsom of his mistress. After committing
these dreadful crimes he became reckless of what
might happen to him, and seemed to take a delight
in -witnessing, and 'adding to, the . snit:ries• of- man-'
kind. Two • murders had recently been cenentitted
in •the neighbourhood if Calvi,•and it was strongly
suspected that he was the perpetrator. 'Orders were
therefore given by the Governor CO send ia milliner of
gendarmes and Corsican• chasseers in quest of him; It
had previously been ascertained.that be frequenty took
up his residence in an uninhabited• chateau,' nearly in a
state of ruins.. As soon as Matteo perceived • the gend-
armes approach, he fired his musket, loaded with slugs,
and killed two of them on the spot; thechasseirs now
.arrived, and seveM volleys were fired ; one of. these
men was killed, and two severely wounded, but whilst
Matteo was in the act of levelling his Musket foti the
third time at his assailants, ,a bullet entered his breast,
and he instantly fell dead.
