" Napoleon is buried in a very romantic spot, situated in a
valley near a.place called Ilut's Gate. I here relate the cause
of his choice. When he first arrived, Marshal Bertrand resid-
ed at Hut's Gate, until .a house was built for him near the Ex-
Emperor's, who frequently visited the General's family, and
he (Buonaparte) would very often stroll down to a spring of ex-
cellent water (considered the best water on the island); and or-
dered a glass to be brought that lie might drink. Madame
and Marshal Bertrand were always with him, and he several
times said to them, "If it pleases God that I should die on
this rock, have me buried on this spot," which he pointed out,
near the spring, beneath sonic willow trees.
" It is very singular that the house intended for Buonaparte
was completely finished and furnished, which, when Bertrand
remarked to him, he observed it would serve for his tomb. This
was absolutely the case, as the stones were taken from the
kitchen which formed the vault.—On the lah all his effects
were exhibited."

[ANornErt ACCOUNT.]—The following particulars of the
funeral of Buonaparte are extracted from the private letter of
an officer of St. Helena :

" Buonaparte was buried on Wednesday the 9th, beneath
the Willow Trees, in the spot lie had pointed out, about a
mile and a half from Longwood House (by the road). A pro-
cession of the military staff, and all the naval officers, followed
the corpse, which was laid on a black Car,. in a plain mahogony
coffin (laid wood and tin within), and was received, on emerg-
ing from the grounds, by a line of 2000 troops, including artil-
lery and a party of marines, with four Bands drawn up by the
road side. As soon as it had passed, the troops followed to the
place of interment, and halted, occupying the road winding
along the valley side, above it, while the procession descended
by a road made for the occasion on foot; the body was then borne
by 24 grenadiers from the several corps present to the grave,
where it was deposited with the priest's blessing, in a chamber
within a large stone vault. The chamber was then closed with
a large slab, and it! edges being filled in to the sides of the
vault, the whole level surface was covered with a liquid body
of Roman cement. The corpse was deposited under three
discharges of eleven pieces of artillery, and the minute guns of
the Vigo, which were heard in the intervals between the dis-
charges, moaning in the distance-25 were fired. The vault
has since been filled up with stone, and a plain flat slab laid
over it."—(Guardian.)

The following is an Extract from a Letter, dated his Ma-
jesty's ship Vigo, in St. Helena Roads, May 7 :-
4 Buonaparte was taken ill of dropsy, as was supposed, but
which since proved to be a cancer in the stomach, on the 17th
of March last. He immediately gave himself up, refusing me-
dicines, would not for some time permit the medical depart-
ment to see him, grew melancholy, lost his appetite, and fre-
quently said, he was certain he should soon die, which event
took place on Saturday evening, the sth of May, about ten' mi-
nutes before six, just at the setting of the sun. It has occurred
to us as worthy of note, that a comet of great size appeared a
fortnight previous to his demise. Yesterday afternoon several
of us went to Longwood House, where we saw him lying in
state, in his full uniform, with the crucifix on his breast ; his
Priest stood at the foot of his' couch, weeping, in deep mourn-
ing ; at the head stood General Bertrand and Count Month°.
lon, similarly ; but what particularly claimed our sympathy
was, the appearance of Madame Bertand, who was in an ad-
joining room, weeping bitterly, and whose converse discovered
the strength of her attachment and her deep regret for the de-
ceased. The uniform which he had on was the same which
he wore, with all his stars and orders, after the battle of Ma-
rengo."—(ll am pshire Telegraph.)
