forty gentlemen repaired 10 the spot, and Rad
full view Of the ground. The print which
| he paws of this animal made 10 the earth
corresponds with the account given of his
great bulk by those who had an opportunity
| of viewing him at IA short distance for several
minutes /; he was of a brinde color with q
most terrific front-his eyes are described as
the largest ever seen in any animal We are
well acquainted with the party engaged in III.
attack, and give the fullest credit TO the ac--
| count we have receive.
The conclusion drawn is, that the animal
in question was Tiger of the largest order
from Mexico, and that il has like the mon
sters ofthe deep, thought proper To wander
into distant regions. There is nothing re-
markablc in his passing such distance unob-
served. Wolves have been seen of late years
low down in the northern nccks Of Virginia,
a distance of nearly 200 miles from the Blue
Ridge, the supposed residence of those ami
mails they had to pass through country of
the thickest population unprotected by large
forests until they arrived on the Potomac
river where cedar and pine thickets shelter
them from all future danger.
The above Tiger was seen few days after
Drawing duzen shots making its way into the
state of Tennessee, and there is still pros
pect Gifts being taken and the public graiified
with a more correct description. Gaz.

said, in his hurry, he forgot to pay some Of his
bills for disbursements, &c. There is also a
Bottomry Bond on the schooner, given in
Savannah, which does not appear TO have
been cancelled. Capt. S. had a gun carriage
made whilst in port, which he twas to receive
and pay for yesterday, but we understand it
disappeared on the night the schooner sailed
without the knowledge or consent of the
workmen and no equivalent was left in its stead.
There was some preparation made yesterday

pursuit of the Bella Isabella, hut the project
was given up under the impression that she
must have got out of reach before the Gutter
could possibly come up with her. Including
he crew of the Poacre Carma, (which vesse,
with her cargo has been sold, J her own crew
which came with her from Savannah, and
those shipped here, it is said the crew of
the schooner now amounts To nearly 80 men,
