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 fit 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 inforion her that the
Marshal no longer existed.
