LOVE AND REVENGE.

PARIS, MARCH 31.—A recent letter fiats
Seville (Spain) contains the following account
of a singular act of vengeance perpetrated by
young girl of eighteen, in the neighbourhood 01
that city:—

Juana Zamora, the daughter of a widow if:
respectable circumstances, was the prettiest gin.
in the town of Alcala de los Panaderos, apa
consequently had a numerous train of admirers:,
of whom the two most ardent and persevering
were Cipriano Moron and Ceferino Gallartlo:
nano, fired with rage and
jTuhaemlit.ttterHsitstercieveatll,edc inl) gaining the affections et
jealousy, watched his motions, and, on the night
of the 25th of July last, having discovered hilt'
conversing with Juana .at the window of her
mother's house, he rushed upon him, and ripped
up his stomach with a knife. The ill-fated Cc'
ferino cuffed out for help to two of his friends'
who were watching for him at the end of'the''
street, and then fell dead. The two friends par''
sued the murderer, till he took refuge in tilt'
house of the Cure. The two friends t'eien
formed the Alcalde of what had takm pilttee, strui
the first step the Alcalde took was to chip thefo'
both into prison. On applicxtion beitfg
to the Cure, Cipriano, who was his relation,. wag'
delivered up. The bloody knife was found
his pocket. lie, however, denied being the
sassm ; but, whilst the Alcalde was questiortil
a physician, in presence of the body of the de''
ceased, whether he couldsayifthe moundhadbee
bdiieted with the knife found upon the prisoner,'
Juana, who had eluded all her mother's efforts'
to keep her at home, rushed into the. Alcahle's,f
house, threw herself upon the mangled body of
her lover, avowed her passion for him, and tie.
scribed his cowardly assassination by Ciprialio',l
The prisoner was then fully committed for
and the two friends of the deceased set at lihrrt)':
Cipriano was found guilty, and condemle
to death ; but, before the approval of the oil"'
tence by the Supreme Tribunal of Seville,
contrived to escape from prison, through the
fluence, it was supposed, of his relation, tae`
Cure. Whether the Cure was concernel 0'
not in this escape,Juana at least thought that he IT"3".r
and resolved to take vengeance on him. Towaldi
nightfall, on the 26th of October last, Jusugo!
returning from a farm of her mother's, met 03
the road the Cure, who was walking alone. M
.ihe since confessed, the idea suddenly enter
her head that that was a fit moment to execute'
her design of vengeance. She approached the'
Cure, stabbed him. to the heart with a knifo
and then mutilated his body, and almost 4fr
vided it into quarters:. On reaching the tow),
she went directly to thee prison, and said to the.
gaoler, " I am your pri7tioner, for I have kind'
,
the Cure, who 'was the case of all my suffer'
ings ; but now that I am r evenged, I care tic'
what you do with me." On her trial she
tered into a minute description' .of the murder'
and concluded by addressing thee Alcalde, Ear
" It was fortunate for you, Alcahle?!
that I did not also meet you on the road, 30
which case you should have met theNsame fate
as the Cure, for you also contribute d to insi‘e'
me suffer." Her Counsel endeavoured to
establish a plea of insanity, but the priso 'tier eo3'
tinually interrupted him, for the purpose' of de''
flying the truth of his assertion. She wa e fautj
ile
guilty, and sentenced to strangulation by th'',
eac
garotte, which sentence being approved by t-
cAttlico lie,l otc, the 22d of pm
