DEC. 17. for of St. Sulpice, who was himself come to offer his services— " That is sufficient," replied the Marshal, "I will think of it." Upon N. Cauchy's observing, that in case any other Clergyman should be more agreeable, he might send for him! The Marshal said, " once again, I say, that is sufficient, I want no Priest to teach me how to die." Upon its being observed that he was at liberty to take leave of his wife and children, he desired that they should he written to, to come between six and seven in the morning. " I hope," he added, " that your letter will not announce to my wife that her husband is condemned. I will inform her of my fate." M. Cauchy then retired, and the Marshal threw himself in his clothes on the bed. He soon fell asleep. At four in the morning he was awakened by the arrival of the Marechale, his wife, with her children, and Madame Gamon, his sister. The unfortunate wife, as soon as she entered the chamber, fell in a fi t on the ground. The Marshal and his guard wised her. To a long fainting fit, succeeded tears and groans. Madame Gamon, on her knees before the Marshal, was not in a less deplorable con dition. The children, silent and sad, did not weep. The eldest appeared to be about eleven years of age. The Marshal spoke to them a long time, but in a low tone of voice. On a sudden he rose and intreated his family to withdraw. Left alone with his guards, he walked up and down the Cham ber. One of them, the grenadier of Laroche Jaquelin, said to him, " Marshal, in the situation in which you are, should you not think of God? It is always good to reconcile oneself to God. I have seen many battles, and every time I could, I confessed myself, and found myselfalways the better for it." The Marshal stopped, looked at him with a certain interest, and then said—" You are in the right; yes, you are in the right; we ought to die as Christians. I desire to see the Rector of St. Sul pice." The brave grenadier did not want to be told twice. The clergyman was forthwith introduced into the chamber of the con demned. He remained shut up with him three quarters of an hour. When he retired, the Marshal expressed a desire to see him in his last moments. The virtuous priest kept his word. At half past eight he returned, and at nine, being informed that all was ready, the Marshal gave him his hand to help him into the coach, saying to him, " Get in first, M. le Cure; I shall be quicker than you on high." He was dressed in a blue coat and a round bat. Two officers of Gendarmerie were in the coach with him and the clergyman. About .200 veterans accompanied the coach. The coach, traversing the garden of the Luxemburg, proceeded to the end of th_ Grand Alley that leads to the Observatory, which was the spot fixed for the execution. On seeing the coach atop, the Marshal, who thought they were going to carry him to the plain of Grenelle, expressed some surprise. Asking if that was the place of execution, he was answered in the affirmative, and immediately got out of the condi. After embracing his conkssor, to whom be gave his snuff-box to give to Madame le Marechale, and some pieces of gold to be distributed to the poor, he proceed ed with a quick step to within eight paces of the wall. The con fessor remained near the coach, praying fervently. The Marshal now faced the detachment of veterans who were to fire, and cried out in a strong and loud voice, at the same time taking off his hat with his left hand, and placing his right on his heart, " Comrades. straight to the heart—fire!" The Officer gave the signal at the same moment with his sword, and he fell dead without a single struggle. Twelve balls had taken effect; three in the head. Conformably to military regulations, the body remained exposed on the place of execution for a quarter of an hour, There were but few persons however present ; fur the populace believing that the exec9tion would take place ou the Place of Grenelle, had re paired thither. After remaining exposed a quarter of an hour, the body was placed on a litter covered with a cloth, and carried by the Veterans to the Ilopital of Foundlings. At half past six next morning (Dec. 8.), it was conveyed to the burying-ground of Pere la Chaise, in a hearse, followed by a mourning coach and several other coaches. It had been inclosed in a leaden coffin within an oak one. During the whole night the religituses of the Hospital prayed near the body. Paris, Dec. 9.—We are assured that on the day of Marshal Ney's execution, Madame Ncy, still ignorant of its having taken place, went to the Thuilleries at ten in the morning to implore the clemency, and that the Duke of Duras to whom she addressed her self in order to be introduced, Wil9 obliged to infori o n her that the Marshal no longer existed.
