The following account of the disii,terring the
remains of Major Andre is taken front a New York
paper of the 14th August :
" This event took place at Tappan, on Friday, the 10th
instant, at one p.m. amidst a considerable concourse of ladies
and gentlemen that assembled to witness this interesting
ceremouy. The British Consul, with several gentlemen, at.
eumpanied by the proprietor of the ground and his labourer,
commenced their operations at elt yen o'clock, by removing
the heap of loose swots that surrounded and partly covered
the grave. Great caution was observed in taking up a small
peach tree that was growing out of the grave, as the Consul
stated his intention of sending it to his Majesty to be placed
in ore of the royal gardens. Considerable namely was felt
lest the coffin could not be found, as various rumours existed
of its having been removed many years ago. However, when
at the depth of three feet, the labourers came to it. The
lid was broken in the centre and h■d partly fallen is, but
was kept up by resting on the scull. The lid boiug raised,
the skeleton of the brave Andre appeared entire, bone to
bone, each in its place, without a vestige of any other part
of his remains, save some of bis hair, which appeared in
small tufts ; and the only part of bis dress was the leather
string which tied it. As soon as the curiosity of the specta-
tors was gratillid, a large circle was formed, when the under-
taker, with his as►istant, uncovered the sarcophagus, into
which the remains were carefully removed: ibis superb depo.
sitory, in imitation of those used in Europe foe the remains of
the illustrious dead, was made of mabogauy, the panels covered
with rich crimson velvet, surrounded by a gold bordering :
the rings of deep burnished gold, the panel also crimson
velvet, edged with gold, the inside lined with black velvet,
the whole supported by four gilt balls.
" The sarcophagus with the remelt.' have been removed
OD board his Majesty's packet, where it is undustood, as
soon as some repairs on board are completed, an opportu•
oily will be afforded of viewing it."
