indicative of.. a wooden coffin, .We'ordered them
tocontioue-to dig with- more caution': but' iti-
stead of 'finding•a bed of pore lime, as round the
•cotfiii of the Queen, we perceived thlit the earth
and - the lime had. been designedly mingled,
in 'Such a I:haulier, however, that the Mole
greatly predoutihated in the ..niXt ore, Mit had
not the same ..c.ousistence as that found m

thoroughly corroded, were ready to-fall to dust

effect. We collected all the, relicts which we
ciitdd- colleet in this cnylused mass of earth and
lime, and placed them
.together in a large sheet
prepared tor the..purpose,. its also many pieces of
the lime yet entire:. •

ten 'or tsvuive tet.Ot- eartlito be dug up At a ills-

We inclosed them with respect in a large box, .
which we'll:id fast4ied and 'seated with-the signet
(f the arms of France: We then 'carried this box
into the aine chamber' where the' remains. of the
Queen were deposited' yesterday, in order that the
ecclesiastics already assembled Might continue
round the two bodies .the prayers of the church,
till the time which shall be fixed by the'-King for
placing them in leaden coffins; and for conveying
these coffins to the Royal church of St... Denis. •
