J 22.—The removal of the mortal remains of King Louis XVt. and Queen Marie Antoinette, Archduchess of Austria, took place vesteiday; the procession left thenue d'Aojno nine in the morning; the arrangement watsim ple and majestic. Ali the places through ;filch it passed were doubly lined with spectators, who preserved the utmost silence and gravity of deportment, and were penetrated with tie deep feelings with which the ot.ject 0: such a ceremony demanded A great part of the inhabitants of Paris repaired . to St. De: is. Another portion, not leis considerable, filled the dillerent churches of the capital. The most perfect order reigned. At eight o'clock Monsieur and the Princes his sons, went from the Tuilleries to the Cemeterr of Magdalen, where they entered the tent in which were laid the bodies of the martyred King and his august spouse. The first stone of the chapel to be built on the place where the remains of the king and Queen were found, was laid in the presence of the Princes. The coffins were placed in a hearse by the gardes de corps. At the instant when the venerable remains left the Cemetery, all the spectators fell spontaneously on their knees. It was impossible to have witnessed a more affecting sight. By a singular coincidence she Prince de Poix coinroanded the King's household in this expiatory ceremony, as be had com manded it with so much devotedness anti fidelity on the 18th of Atigmst. The procession arrived in the following order at St. Denis.-- The Governor of Paris and his Staff. The Officers of the Garrison. The Royal Grenadiers. Three carriages with eight horses, with emblazoned trappings. The Black and Grey Mu.keseers. 'The Gets d'Armes of the Guard. Five carriages with eight horses, with emblazoned trappings and escutcheons. Three carriages of eight homes, caparisoned with mourning; (These were the coaches of tae Princes and Princesses of the Blood ; Mottiettc; the Dukes of Angonlesue, Berry, and Orleans; the Prince of Conde ; they Duchess of Orleans ; Mademoiselle of Or- leant; the Duchess of Bourbon). The Kings and Heralds of Anna. The Hearse. The four Campanies of Gardes des Corps. Several Corps of Cavalry. The nave was divided by a porch, formed by a great gothic arch, and hung with black as well as the rest of the church.., Beyond the porch, undera large canopy, adorned with ermine, was raised the catafalio, composed of a sarcophagus, sur mounted by an urn. surrounded by a mortuary cloth, a man tle of gold cloth, and the royal mantle, all covered with crape. At the foot of the sarcophagus were laid the crown, the sceptre, and the hand of justice. The base of the sarcophagus was disposed so as to receive the two coffins, which were borne in and laid by the Guards of the Scotch Company. Both were covered with black, adorned by a large white cross, in the centre of which was a plate of vermillion colour, with the inscription. On the right of the monument's were the stalls destined for the Princes, and the benches of the Mar shals, the Ministers M. Descze, M. Decloseaux, the Clergy of the Grind Almonrv, the principal Officers of the House hold; the stalls appointed for the Princesses ; the benches occupied by the Generals, the Ambassadors, a great number of the Members of the Houses of Peers and Deputies. Other. benches were reserved • fig deputations of the Sovereign Courts, of the Departmental, and Municipal Bodiet of Paris. The Bishop of Aire officiated at the Altar in the absence of the Grand Almoner, who is seriously iudi:Toscd.

He- was only. ac quainted with the wish of the King, that he should de liver this discourse s on the 10th of January; he had then but ten dais to prepare and deliver a discourse, the import ance of which would have alarmed Bossuet himself. lie chose as his text—Ne i»terficias Turn quis ening millet mannni in enriching ct salves erit? The discourse lasted three quarters of an hour. When the Bislrap left the pulpit, the officiator continued and concluded the Holy Sacrifice. After the five absolutions which followed man, four Bishops seated themselves at the entrance of a vault, as at the mouth of a grave. The funeral was then concluded in the ordinary manner. Our Kings have no peculiar rites ; when their children are born their names are inscribed in the Parish Register, and when they die, the earth of the com mon churchyard is thrown on them. When the gentlemen of the Scotch Guard had lowered the coffins, a handful of earth was thrown on them, and the Clergy returned to the Sacristy. Monsieur, the Princes, his sons, the great Officers and Heralds, descended into the vault and remained there for some moments. When they had re-ascended, the stones of the tomb were replaced. It was about half-past five. ~ s • VIENNA, JAN. 9.---The departure of Field-Marshal Baron de Koller is again spoken of; he is to proceed to the Isle of Elba to induce the Ex• Emperor Napoleon to change the place of his residence : a residence in Scotland has been-pro posed to him, where be will regularly receive the pension granted to him. The report spread respecting a charge in the Austrian Ministry appears to be unfounded. A celebration of the day on which Louis XVI. lost his life was ordered by the Emperor of Austria, at the request of Talleyrand, to take place at Vienna, on the 21st of January, the Emperor and his family intending to assist in it. The other Sovereigns it was likewise thought would be present. The King of Naples has, in his official Journal, declared that England has gurranteed Sicily to the King of Sicily, and Naples to the King of Naples. The King of France has wisely disavowed the proceeding 3 of the French Agents who lately acted so absurd a part at St. Domingo. Discussions of a serious nature have arisen betweetyao French and British Governments, in 'elation to St.Dotnioe. , . It appears that powder, and other munitions of war ha% reached that island from Great Blitain ; and as the Fiend. :eein quite determined to look upon the black population no other light than that of zebels to their Sovereign, they have addressed a strong remonstrance to the English Arabat— sador at Paris, on the conveyance of glinpoowder in Brititi: ships to be employed in resisting the legal authority► of That country. The notes delivered to the Duke of Wellington have, it is said, hven supported by corresponding representa tions f , om the French Ambassador at our Court. Amongst other stories in circulation on the Continent, it is said that in return for Genoa, the King of Sardinia is to cede to England the island of Sat dinia, for the purpose o.fi:s being given to the Knights of Malta. The people of Genoa at c indignant against the English, for the transfer of their cot. u• try to the King of Sal dinia.
