TRIBUNAL OF CORRECTIONAL POLICE. PARIS, NOVEMBER 14. TRIAL OF M. B. CONSTANT, FOR HIS LETTER TO THR PROCURZUR - OENRRAL, MANGIN. On this cause being called on towards noon. an expression of interest and satisfaction was displayed by the audience. M. B. Constant appeared in person, and read the conclusions which he wished the Court to adopt, and the object of which was, that in consequence of his character of Deputy, and the writing complained of growing out of what he had done in that character, the Court should declare itself incompetent. He then supported his conclusions in a long speech, of which the following is an abridgment: " If I consulted only my personal interest, I should most readily renounce all my efforts to escape your jurisdiction. I was an accuser before being accused, and I only appear here from an obscurity in the law, which has, as far as I am concerned, the effect of de nying me justice ; and France will learn from my presence here.that a citizen—a Deputy—that several Deputies—are not under the protection of the law, when defamed, but fall under its sword when they defend themselves from defamation. The important question is, can a Deputy, during the interval of the Sessions, be brought before a Tribunal for opinions delivered by him from the Tribune? I am not the first Deputy who has been denounced, nor the first who has been injured; but I am the first who has been brought to this bar for not having been insen sible to infamous denunciations. repeated and spread through the whole of France; and only calculated to make me regarded as the cowardly and perfidious instigator of plots, as the infamous prosecutor of crimes, of which I saw without pity, the unhappy in struments perish on the scaffold. There is no prece dent therefore to guide you ; and in repulsing a usur pation of power, you will merit public gratitude, and render a service to the Monarchy henceforward inse parable from the representative system. " I must shew you that the inculpations which gave occasion to the answer complained of, were the direct result of opinions delivered by me in the Tri bune. Do not be astonished at the novelty of the subject. The recent establishment of the Constitu tional Government, the little experience we have of the rights it confers, and the duties it imposes, may give importance to assertions which there is no time to examine. But my demonstration shall be certain, and leave you no doubt of your incompetence!' The eloquent Deputy then pointed out several pas sages in the speech of the Procurenr-General, Man gin, which referred to what he had said as a Deputy ; and concluded that what he had written in reply to inculpations of this speech was not within the compe tence of the Tribunal. He concluded thus : I am not afflicted for myself ; my life replies to the invectives of my enemies. As a man, nobody can reproach me ; as an author, I have defended what I thought valuable, and have contributed to save two heads from the block ; as a legislator, I have always voted according to my conscience. But I am afflicted for France, for that beautiful France which is de graded in the eyes of foreigners by the degradation, of the individuals chosen as the organs of the pub lic sentiments." After hearing the Avocat du Roi, the Court decided that it was competent, and ordered the trial to pro ceed.—At five o'clock the Court adjourned farther proceedings till next day : M. Constant is to defend himself. He was accompanied to the coach by a great crowd of persons. NOVEMBER 15. At one o'clock, M. B. Constant began his defence. the Court was even more crowded than yesterday. His first speech and his reply to the observations ofl the Avocat du Roi completely fill the French Journals. We can only give a mere outline: " The first thing of which I am reproached by the Avoca dss Roi is, not having brought the matter to trial, in plat" of writing what he calls a defamatory libel. But it was necessary, both for the Deputies inculpated and for public tranquillity, that the impu tations of M. M*ngia should be promptly disproved. :- After the motionln the Chamber of Deputies, oti thit sth of August, for calling him to the bar had beeit rejected, in discussing which his most eloquent ad• vocates admitted that he had erred, it was to be et.. pected that, he would refrain in his subsequent dis courses from loading with injuries the Deputies he had inculpated in the act of accusation., But he acted quite differently, and called certain Deputies coward-, and perfidious, and stated that oats of them had been expressly to Saumur to seduce one of the accused, and that another had paid the conspirators with the, treasures of the Usurper. The first intention certainly was to bring M. Mangin to trial, but it wit, stopped at the commencement. While a Deputy may, by a simple citation, and without previous formalities, be summoned before the Correctional Police, no ad ministrative or judiciary agent can be attacked without certain sanctions long and difficult to ob tain ; and particularly when the person is a Prowess General the thing is quite impossible. By the Code which regulates these matters the complainant *as sent before the ProcUreur-General himself. Complaints were addressed to the Keeper of the Seals, and were rejected. The accusations, however, grew with each day. It was necessary to reply to them. Several Deputies prepared letters as strong or stronger than mine, and ld everything which I have written I can fearlessly say I was the interpreter of their sentiments. The. common course of proceeding . was too slow for the' interest ofTrance. M. Mangos had represented us as forming a centre, and it was of immediate neces sity to disabuse those who were deceived. The Avocat has recognised the principle, that if my accu sations against M. Mangin are well founded, the cul pability which he attributes to my letter will be much diminished. But if you place my defence by the side of the accusation, you will find'that the former is moderate compared with the latter." M. B. Constant then entered into a long explana tion of his conduct—of his visit to Saumur, and other particulars, tending to shew the injustice of the in cnlpations of M. Mangin, who ought, had he any proofs, to have brought M. Constant to trial, as a conspirator. He concluded thus : " You, Gentlemen, will not give France the terri ble conviction that every species of violence is al lowed to one party, and prohibited to the other. I have been gratuitously attacked—l have defended myself with frankness and vigour—l have replied with moderation, but not without indignation. Every thing which is honourable in France will approve my conduct—everything generous in the heart of man, Gill grant me its applause and its sympathy—and, under these impressions, I look forward with confi dence to the judgment you are to give." After the reply of M. Bra.Lor, Avocat du Roi, and the observations of M. Mor.Lor, Counsel for M. B. Constant, the latter again addressed the Court, per sisting that he, if he would not be considered as a coward and an assassin, Was obliged to defend himself in the manner he did.—" No danger," he said, " would have made me hold any different line of conduct. I would rather live at the bottom of a dungeon than walk at liberty in France, stained with the blood of the unhappy Caffe ; and, however severe may be the punishment inflicted on me, I should say it is better than to hear children uttering around me, 4 Behold the murderer of our fathers, the assassin of our families!' I replied because I . was accused, and you have now to decide if you will condemn me be cause I would not pass for a traitor—for the last and most contemptible of men."—The Tribunal postponed giving judgment till Tuesday.

A Gentleman, living in the Eastern part of Sussex, had occa sion last week to procure a certificate of residence from the churchwardens of his parish. He accordingly called at the house of one of them, and was answered, by a smart looking nursery maid, that her master was upon the hill coursing with his grey hounds. On the following morning our friend was likewise un successful :—" Master has just rude over to meet the fox-hounds. He is afterwards engaged to dine at the Inn, with some Gentle men of the Hunt, and will not be home till late." The next day the reply was somewhat different:—" Master is gone to the Downs upon a shooting party, with two or three friends from Lewes."—" Shall I then call in the evening ?"—" Why, Sir, it won't be of any use, because master, missus, and the whole of the family, are going to the Play." Despairing of an interview with the master, our friend requested to speak with the farmer's wife :--" Missus has drove out with young master in his til bury."—" Well, well, let me then see the daughter."—" Why, Sir, you can't; because Bliss is very busy just now with her mossic,"—" Gracious Powers!" exclaimed our reflective friend, " this then is what they call Agricultural Distress ; and such is the state of misery to which those men are reduced, who have suc ceeded the homely race of which Former Ashfrld and his dame are now indeed the only representatives." BONELLI, late Deputy English Consul in Rome, has retired from that situation. There are few Eng lishmen who have visited the capital, towards whom this kind-hearted and benevolent Gentleman has not, on some occasion, directed his friendly and always acceptable attentions. Advices from Lisbon to the 31st ultimo have been received, by way of Madrid. The Diario do Go verno of the 30th ult. contains the following . article: We have certain authority for assui in g our readers that the-F.ench Charge d'Aff. ries here 14as received orders from his Government to communicate to our Ministry, that France entertains no idea of invading Spain, and much less Portugal ; that our suspicions on this subject are destitute of foundation ; and that the army of the Pyrennees is merely an army of obser vation, for the purpose of guarding France against being disturbed by Spain, in consequence of the state of effervescence which prevailed in that country. g 4 We also announce with the greatest satisfaction, that our Charge d'Ajaires in London has been in formed by Mr. Canning, in the name of the British Government, that the rumour of an invasion of the Peninsula is absolutely false. He added, that at all events England would never abandon her ancient friend and ally, Pustugal.". E. MONDA STOCK EXCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

This forenoon we received a German Mail, with Papers to the 13th instant. An article from Vienna, of the sth instant, states that the new Prince of Wal lachia has commenced his government very auspi ciously, by causing an inquiry to be made into all abuses, particularly the venality of public employ ments, and by punishing every act of injustice with dismissal from office, and even corporal punishment. This account adds, what we have been told at least a dozen times, though always proved untrue, that Moldavia is now completely evacuated by the troops of the SULTAN. Accounts from Jassy, of the 21st of October, state that the solemn entry of Prince Sermur, STOURDZ A, and his public installation as Vv'oiwode of Moldavia, had taken place the preceding day, with the usual formalities. The order lately issued against extravagance in dress has excited great sensation in Constantinople, and bitter complaints would be made against it, did not people flatter themselves that, like many others, it would fall into oblivion. The chief objects of the prohibition are costly furs, Indian shawls, or shawls of European manufacture made in imitation of them, and clothes lined with silk. These last are no more to be worn by anybody, from the Grand Vizier to the lowest of the people. The prohibition of shawls at first caused no small consternation among the English merchants ; and it appeared on this occasion, that far more than half of the shawls used in Constantinople are supplied from English manufactories, and at very low prices. The English Factory made urgent remonstrances to the Porte, and represented this measure as an arbitrary violation of the hitherto subsisting commercial rela tions. A very satisfactory answer was given. It was intimated to the Factory, that the prohibition was by no means directed against the trade in certain articles, which remained as free as it was before, but against the ettravagant are of them ; that, besides, even in the last point, it extended only to the capital, and that the foreign merchants had ways and means sufficient still left to dispose of their goods. In fact, it is most likely that the effects of this rigorous law will be visible only on public occasions, and not at all in the privacy of domestic life.—The following are extracts: MUNICH, NOVEMBER 6. Count Einsiedel, the Saxon Ambassador, is to go in grand procession on the 9th, to solicit the hand of her Royal Highness the Princess Amelia, for Prince Nepomuk Maria Joseph, of Saxony. The ceremony is to take place in the Royal Chapel on the 10th, in the evening. There are to be various festivities every day till the 13th, His Royal Highness Prince Charles will espouse the Royal bride by prosy. FRANKFORT, NOVEMBER 10. The Allgemeine Zeitung contains very long reports from Hydra of the 15th (27th) and 16th (28th) of September, relative to the operations of the Turkish fleet, which was entirely disappointed in its intentions of relieving Napoli di Romania and conquering the Island of Spezzia. The courage of the Greeks de feated both objects, and in the naval action that took place, a Greek fireship caused such confusion among the Turks, that they fled in all directions. The Turks had approached the fireship to take possession of it, when it blew up. These letters say that Napoli must now fall, and give a most favourable account of the suc cess of the Greeks on the Continent, also that all Attica Livadia, Etolia, Acarnania, and the whole Pelopon nesus, are in their power. Odysseus defends the , Thermopylz, where he defeated for the second time Chourschid Pacha, who again endeavoured to force the pass with 8000 men. Nicelas defends the isthmus of Corinth; Mauro cordato is in Acarnania, and Ypsilanti in Athens. News had been received that a body of Turks was , collecting at Scala Nuova, to attempt a landing in had summoned the Samiots to Mhz them exemption from taxes for sexed Samiots rejected the proposal vrith were resolved to defy all hostile intentions:. , rrencb Papers of Thursday and Friday hare reached us. Those of the former day are chidly oc cupied with the proceedings against M. BiNJA Cossra sr, an account of which will be found in another column. The Honourable Deputy argued at great length, and with considerable ability, against the competency of the tribunal by which he wa s tried, and on the necessity of protecting Public Func tionaries from outrage. All his objections (as might be expected from a French tribunal, where even the semblance of justice is not preserved) were overruled, and to-morrow was fixed for pronouncing judgment. The French Papers contain no intelligence of im portance from Verona, although a courier had ar rived from that city with dispatches for the Minister for Foreign Affairs. The Quotidienne states that these dispatches are dated the 4th, and that, though the conferences were frequent, it was not expected that the Plenipotentiaries would separate before the end of November. The departure of the Viscount de MONTMORENCY was still fixed for the 10th or 12th.--- The King of NAPLES had arrived. These Papers contain a good deal of intelligence respecting Spain. A private letter in the Journal de Paris states that warlike rumours prevailed there on and about the 4th inst. with regard to Spain ; but that they had ceased upon the receipt of dispatches by the Duke of WELLINGTON from London. The accounts from Madrid are not later titan the 7th inst.—those from Bayonne are to the 10th. There is nothing whatever in these accounts to ju•tify the belief that the idea of prosecuting the Spanish Princes was ever entertained. One thing appears cert.iin, that the story of the military prosecutor (Fiscal), PAREDES, being deprived and disgraced for suggesting such a proceeding, is wholly false. He has been merely re lieved of part of his duty as a Chief Staff Officer, to allow more time for his judicial functions. The Cortes have elected for their President the Duke del Pa ME, a very old man, who it appears, from his age and re volutionary enthusiasm, is called the Spanish LA FAYETTE. It was he who, some short 'time since, exhibited himself before the populace of Madrid, holding a dagger pointed to his heart, which he be sought might be lodged therein if he should ever prove recreant to liberty. The Journal de Paris contains the following intcl ligence. under the date of Bayonne, October 9 : " Nothing very important is passing on the fron- tier : the wrecks of the Army of the Faith, which was beaten at Los Arcos, are collecting again in the val. lies of Ecro and Roncal, in the neighbourhood of Irati. The Chiefs are Jaunito and Santa Ladron.— It is presumed that the Constitutionalists will attack them on that point. It appears that General Charles O'Donnel has, within these few days, received orders from the Urgel Regency, to take upon himself the command of the Army of the Faith, in Navarre ; and General Quesada to take the command of the army in the provinces of Biscay, Alava, and Guipuscoa, under the title of Captain• General. Three days ago the Chiefs of the Army of the Faith received 953,000 francs in gold from Paris."
