"II procession a failure, we by no means stand 1
40ae. The following arc the remarks of the
Morning Chronicle upon this subject :
It seems ungracious for an Englishman to pronounce
the funeral ceremonies and procession of Napoleon's
second burial a failure ; and yet, decidedly it was so.
There was no enthusiasm sh6wn by the mob, by the
o. ilitary, or even by the better classes who filled the in-
terior of the Invalides. The crowd every where was
lettuense, and never was greater curiosity displayed, but
e°,riosity was the strongest sentiment. Nor was the ad-
:aration for the hero, who carried the glory of French
of go far, at all able to compete with a temperature
i
tea degrees below freezing. There was nothing in
the Pageant to excite or compensate for a lack of spon-
-7 ereous enthusiasm. The funeral car was certainly
inY fine, and very much begilded ; the accompany-
dg troops were brilliant, and both art and nature had
ire much for the avenues through which it passed.
modern processions are poor things ; and that of
NflPoleon's funeral much poorer than a modern
: proces-
e„roieht be made. The Church, especially the Ca-
-4 Church, might add much to the grandeur of a
cecession. In the procession of the 15th, the Church
tiitt merely represented by the almoner in one poor
ttle two-horsed coach. Perhaps the vases which
urged on each side might be considered as appertain-
jl))3"° the religious part of the ceremony ; but their ap-
,4lrance was as poor as the flames which rose from them,
t'4 to short, religion was not represented.
The Morning Post likewise observes :
This, great affair was a signal failure, whether re-
t4
tel in a political point of view, or as a mere spec-
,e'e. It is evident that the Parisian population looked
tee revolutionary
procession with the utmost indifference, and that
e revolutionary leaders, who had abandoned the in-
tetittiou some days before of resorting to an e»zeute, had
tt ea an accurate view of the public apathy. When
t Court organs urge that Tuesday's feeling was not
444 of Imperialism or Bonapartism they state the truth,
kir the Opposition papers in turn exaggerate the ma-
..eatations against the existing order of things. On a
comparison of all the accounts, public and pri-
4e, we come to the conclusion that it was a very dull
stupied exhibition.
