his high sense of Major-General Craufurd's great and distinguished
merits and services, determined that he should be interred in the breach
which he had so ably and heroically assaulted, as the highest honour he
could.confer upon bins.—The light division assembled before the St.
Franciscan Convent, *here their late beloved Commander lay, at
twelve o'clock, on the esth of 'January. The sth division lined the
road from thence to the breach. The Officers of the brigade of Guards,
of the cavalry, and of the 3d, 4th, and sth divisions, with Lord Wel-
lington, and the whole of the head-quarters at their head, General Cas-
tanos and all his Staff, Marshal Beresford and all the Portuguese, moved
in the mournful procession. He was borne to his place of rest on the
shoulders of the brave men whom he had led to victory, The Field-
officers
of the light division officiated as pall-bearers ; Major-General
Charles Stewart (Adjutant-General), was chief-mourner, attended by

light dive,ion.—The ceremony was as awful, as affecting, as sublime as

Carlos, has been delivered of a son in the Brazils; and for this happy
event iiluminationa, discharges of artillery, and other demonstratiors
of joy were to take place at Li,bon, in consequence of a public
curious

A Frenchman, who lately quitted Paris, relate; the following
ank-cdote :—'4 Immediately atter her divorce, Josephine declared her-
self pregnant, and was delivered of a sen in August, 1810, at Lau-
I sanne, in Switzerland. The child was seized by some agents orb Sa-
vary, the Police Mioister, and has disappeared with then. A pces3
verliat, with the particular; of this event, was sent by Josephine's order
to Fouche; and, being intercepted, occasioned the fall of this favourite.
The present Empress, instead of on.e son, was delivered of twins, both
boys. He who seemed less healthy was seized by Napoleon himself,
but whether to be destroyed at once, or to be preserved as future

recruit for the l3uonaparte dynasty, was not known to any bodY b t
his father, and perhaps to Savary, the perpetrator of all BuPnaParte's
cruel deeds, and the confidant of most of his dark and secret enormi-
ties. It is so said, that in a dispytt. with the Empress, the Queen of
Holland told her to her face, that her baby, King of Ranee, was not flit..
vac heir 441 w throne of France, Josephine having an elder son, at vsliwt
birth she herself was present." This anecdote, according to our nar-
