An sect,*
of yesterdar,, of the
Mem, the Colombian
at-the York lipase,
staying for a few
which had increased
his legs, thighs, -
moos size. He had .
menu of having his him. „or
yeart of his life, he had been necessarily
with him, Maclaine and Miss Zee having arrived a
few weeks since from Paris to j.ia M, Zra. -
M. Zea was between fifty and sixty years of ago.;
He was a native of the province of Atuioquilt
New Granada, now part of the Republic of Colom-
bia. Great part of his life has beea spent in Europe.
Under the former Goveuursent of Spain, and previous
to the Revolution in South America, he held, at dif-,
ferent times, several offices under the Spanish Govern-
ment. The Revolutionin his own country drew him
to the side of Bolivar, whose constant companion and
assistant in the great work of liberating his country
he was for many years, until his mission to Europe in
1820. At the time of his quitting Colombia _he was
Vice-President of the Republic, and hr had the Satis-
faction, before taking his departurre, of presenting t 4.
the Congress the projet of the Constitution of his'
country, which was afterwards adopted in all its lead•
ing particulars. M. Zea was a man of considerable
talent, and of scientific and literary attainments of a
very respectable class. He possessed great hatural
acuteness, and a countenance into which he 'Could at
times infuse a degree of penetration that few could
escape. In his address to the Congress of Colombia;
shortly before his leaving that country fOr England,
he has left a memorial of eloquence of no ordinary
cast. His manners were those of a Gentleman, which,

together with the personal consideration doe to him
on all accounts, procured for him the society and the
attentions of some of our most distinguished Nobi-
lity. His Government and his countrymen dinnot
but have been flattered with the distinguished mark
of attention paid' to rt. Zea at the public dinner given
to him on the Bth of July last, at the City of London
Tavern, at which the most eminent men of All parties
joined in shewing the cordial satisfaction with which
the establishment or another temple of freedom, in a
beautiful, a rich, and an interesting part of the uni-
verse, is viewed in this land of constitutional liberty.
M. Zea's address to the company on that occasion
was marked by discretion, modesty, and good nose.
There were no bitter railings against Spain—no as-
sumption of arrogant expectations from others. As,
to Spain, he said, his country was ready to forget and
to forgive—and as to other nations, they merely
claimed to be treated with the common rights of 6,7
vilized society.. M. Zea's financial operations have
of late been much the subject of discussion.

FRANCE.

COURT OP CORRECTIONAL POLICE, NOV- so.

Yesterday, M. Couvier appeared before the Court,
charged with publishing a libel, under the title of
Petition for the Villagers who are prevented front
Dancing. The libel was described to be an outrage
on Religion, aid calculated to excite hatred against
the Government. M. Couvier was accompained by
his Counsel, M. BERVILLE. On being called on for
his name, he declared himself to be " Paul Louis
Couvier, vine-dresser, of Vertez (Indre and Loire)."
It appeared that the libel had been written in con-
sequence of the Prefect having, on the request of a
Priest, prohibited the usual doming of the peasants
on Sunday evening. The King's Advocate observed,
that the title shewed the malignity of the author, as
its terms indicated a general prohibit►on, whereas the
decree of the Prefect of the Indre and the Loire had
only interdicted it in the Commune of Azai. The
author called himself, on the title page, "a vine-
dresser," because he was a proprietor of vines ; and
he described himself as having been formerly " a
horse cannoneer," though it appeared that he had
once been a superior Officer in the Artillery,
His abject in doing this was to put himself on a level
with the people he wished to provoke to rebellion.
There was also added—" Left the prison of St. Pe-
lagic last year." Hitherto, persons accused had left
it to the Public Prosecutor to bring to recollection
their preceding convictions; but here a punishment
is made a title of honour. He thee read several pas-
-sages, the spirit of which was, that the people were
now prohibited from working or amusing themselves,
and told that they should do nothing b►►t pray.—
" But what kindof burden do you think we have to
bear?—Children, old men, monks, lacqueys, courtiers
—what a number of folks to maintain, the greater
part of them most magnificently. Then comes the
splendoui of the Throne, and the Holy Alliance,
too I—what costly things I—what an expense!"
" The Curate of Azai is a young man, burning
with zeal—a conscript of the Church militant. we
has succeeded, through the Prefect, in preventing
from dancing, and he will soon get us prohibited
from singing or laughing.' Soon did i say ? Our
young men have already been reprimanded and
_threatened, for Songs and for having laughed. This
is not the first time that the Ministers of the Church
have called to their aid. the secular arm in the con-
version of sthners, for which the Apostles only em-
ployed the Gospel, agreeably to their MASTER'S pre-
, cept. Jesus said, Go and teach.' But he did not
say, ' Go with gendarmes, and teach throogh the
, Prefect.

el The village girls are often fond of a dancer, who,
after some time spetit in love and courtship, at last
becomes a husband. AU that passes publicly—all
that is fair—and, besides, far more decent than the
secret coafetences with those you's% men who are
•
dressed in black.

4‘ We are now obliged to fast by Prdonnance ; not
of the Physician, but of the Prefect."
After reading k great number of extracts, the
Kings Advocate concluded by requiring that the
seizure of the Petition should be declared valid, and
copies be detaitted ; and further, that the author
should be sentenced to 13 months imprisonment,
3000 francs fine, and the expense of the trial.
M. Berville, Counsel for the defendant, made some
legal objections to the prosecution. lie wished the
trial to be posposed, is order to disiuss the question
lof the libel itself.
The Court withdrew to deliberate, end on return-
ing pronetkacest the following decision:—.o4 Whereas

The Paris Journals of Wednesday confirm the pra-
sinus accounts of the success of the Constitutional
army in Spain over the Insurgents, who are flying in
every direction. Private letters from Paris of the
same date, speak still mare decisively of the triumphs
of Misr*. By these we learn that the Baron d'Enot.es
has been driven from position to position by his op-
ponent Mina. The victorious Constitutionalists en-
tered Talaru in their career, and with a needless fury
destroyed, it is said, the habitation of canines, after
the escape of his wife and family, who were escorted
to the French frontier by a considerable detachment
of the army of the Baron. He is reported to have at
last thrown himself into Urgel, not with 100 men as
reported, but with five times that number ; and as he
may be supposed to fight for his life, his resistance
Will probably be obstinate. When the Baroness, with
her escort and whatever prisoners they had not alas-
sacred, reached the French frontiers, there was, of
coarse, a difficultyin receiving persons in. a military
character ;. and they were ccmsequently directed,
either to lay down their arms, give up their prisoners,
and appear as private persons, or to remain on the
Spanish soil. The Baroness was, however, promptly
received. The Regency itself may also be said to be'
now in Prance : it 'left Puycerda on the 18th, and
directed its march upon Llivia,*a town nominally
Spanish, but within the straight line of the French
frontier. The. Spanish refugees (says the Echo du
111/idi), of every description, have had relief distri-
, bitted to them accorciVng to their rank and the func-
tions which they exercised in their own country. Far
be it from us to reprehend this work of charity; bat
let the aid administered be of a charitable kind only.
The accounts from Madrid in the French journals
ire to the 18th instant. The Spanish Government
has nominated the -ten Menibetit :§c lille .Committee,
appointed to examine the claims- of the soldiers and
militiamen who demand the decoration Which is to
be worn, as a mark of honour, by the defenders of
the Constitution on the 7th of July. The Committee
'have received orders to weigh nicely the patriotic
feeling of each claimant, and to let their choice fall
t only on noble spirits.
In the sitting of the Cortes on the 10th instant,
Don BZRTRAND DI Lie addressed that Assembly in
the following terms:--" As a Spaniard and Repre-
sentative of the Nation, I can no longer suffer myself
to pass over in silence the continual insults which the
French Government is heaping upon us. I there fne
feel it my duty to submit the proposition which lam
about to state to the consideration of the Cortes. I
propose that the Corte* shall direct the Minister for
Foreign Aff.rirs to demand a pledge from the French
Government that it will no longer afford protection to
the degenerate Spaniards who retire into the French
territories, in order to conspire against their country.
—4 also propose that the same Minister shall be di-
tected to demand a clear add decisive explanation
m the French Government, as to whether it wishes
to be considered as the friend or enemy of Spain:
and that he shall communicate the declaritions that
die French Government may make to the Cones,,
either in a public or private sitting, as shall be deemed
most fitting." He then proceeded to state his reasons
for making the proposition, and concluded thus:-
4, Spain has not prnvoked,'aud will not provoke wars,
Spaniards know how to respect the rights of other
nations; but if the Holy Alliance, or the Cabinet of
St. Cloud provoke a war, they will always find us!

Letters from BAyonne, dated the 21st instant, st tit
that news was there expected of the operations of the
Army. of the FAitls, under the command of Gen. Carlos
('Donne', and that all that was then known was, that
that army occupied the environs of hati.

Letters from Barcelona state, that on the sd, a corn.
pany of Militia arrived there from Mahon. They
had volunteered to fight against th, factious. On the

precedinrpight, 74 Fr,anciscan Monks were shipped
9ff; it is supposed for the Balearic Islands.
A letter from St. Sebastian, dated the 18th, stalcs,
that on the 16-.11) the Governor of Itati, Don Ramo
Puy Marti presented himself to the Authorities et that
place, to implore the benefit of the amnesty ; and that.
a report was circulated of Zabala having been killed
.by one of his men, who afterwards repaired to Bilboa.
An Evening Journal sonounces that the Viscount
de Montmorency was to leave Verona on the 2,;d, to
return to France. A letter which we have before us.
in fact, states that
,his Excellency was to leave tha:
city On the 26d or 25th, and that according to as
appearance he would bring the Declaration so impa-
tiently expected.—Gazette de France.
L'Etoile announces that the Baron d'Eroles,
had at first thrown himself into the valley of Aran,
has since gone to Seo d'Urgel, being resolved to shut
himself up there with 100 men. L'Etolle hence inners
that the affairs of the Regency are not so unfavour-
able as they have been represented. We doubt whe-
ther the readers-of that Paper will from these facts
draw the same conclusion.—Jounial de Comnierce.

Thus, then, is the destiny of this formidable Army
of the Faith, which was to conquer Spain, nearly ac-
complished 1 Qtseeada is at Paris ; the Trappist at
Toulouse- ; and the Baron d'Eroles is compelled to
shut himself up with 100 men. What will becomo

The news from the frontiers of Spain announce
that Mina's Proclamation is producing the best effects
