February he was elected to the. Constituent Aszem-
bly, but ater a sittting or two he sent in his re4ig-
nation, which was at fir,t reused by the chamber,
but afterwards, although most unwillingly, accep-
ted. He was then again residing at Passy, and ho
remained theie until a short, time back, when a re-
moval into Paris, for the sake of medical advice,
was deemed necessary. During his residence M
he Rue Vendome he had the gratification of find-
ing himself the object of the deepest interest, and
11;3 friends have the consolation of knowing grit
he received every attention that human kindness
could suggest."

(From the Daily News.)
Warnba. regretted that the noble Atbelstane
could not share in the good cheer at his own lyke-
wake. Wiser men than Wamba may regret that
Beranger cannot sing the ordering of his own
funeral. The Emperor, in his eagerness to do
honour to the national poet, announced, before
the breath was well out of the old man's body,
that the funeral expenses should be defrayed out
of the civil list. The imperial undertaker issued
strict orders at the same time that none who were
not specially invited should presume to fellow the
poet to his grave. The ceremony was hurried over
ere twenty-four hours had been allowed to elapse,
and the steeets were lined by powerful detach-
ments of troops as the funeral cortege passed along
them. Under pretence of doing honour to Beranger,
his body was sequestrated from those whom he
loved and sympathised with in life, and escorted to
the grave by the representatives of those classes
who had writhed under his satire. The day for
such marvels has gone by, or one might have ex-
pected the corpse to burst its cerements, and to have
marched away—a spectral figlia del reggimento—
from the uncongenial entourage. We have no
doubt that the lively interest in Beranger expressed
by the Empress was perfectly sincere. We have
no doubt that the Emperor—who, though an
epicurean, is a tasteful one—appreciates
many of the finest features of Beranger's
genius. But a blind man might Sf'e that, under
the pretext of paying the poet public honours, a
desperate effort has been made io get him out of
the way as quickly and as quietly as possible.
The respect paid to his corpse was of the kind that
Falstaff paid to the dead body of Perc%. Ho was
complimented to the grave as. Dr. Bartolo is com-
plimented out of the room in the. "Barbiere di
Siviglia." The courtiers who accompanied his
hearse returned to the Tuileries thankful, no doubt,
that their civilities had soothed his shade and pre-
vented it from stirring up an emeute. The Emperor
probably gave a deep sigh, expressive of unutterable
relief, .on finding that he bad succeeded in burying
his perilous dead out of his sight. The public funeral
of Beranger is one of those homages which vice
pays to virtue. The feigned grief of the officials
over the corpse of Beranger resemMes the fulsome
compliments with which the Indian hunter seeks
to soothe the irate ghost of the bear he has slain.
But the genial, sincere, child-hearted, deep-
thoughted, independent poet has been followed to
the grave by the hearts of all the true men and
women of Europe ; that is his real pompespcnebres.
His songs ring in the ears, his thoughts burn in the
hearts of millions of the best spirits of France ; that
will be his true monument. " Let me write the
songs of a nation," said a great English statesman,
"and let who will write the laws." Not one of the
least guarantees that the spirit of liberty will soale
day re-awaken in France is the universal diffusion
and appreciation of the songs of Beranger.
