AIADAME•DE S:"I:AtL.

It was on Saturday, the 26th of July, that the
remains of Madame de STAHL arrived' at Coppet,
in a carriage hung with black, accompanied by
M. de Stael, and Madame de Schlegel. Monday,
the 28th of July, had been appointed for depo-
siting the coffin in the mausoleum where M. and
Madame
,Necker were interred. It is a square
building of black marble, in the midst of shrub-
bery, enclosed with walls, where Madame de,
Stael was accustomed to take her solitary walks.
Over the door of the tomb is a basso relievo, the
subject of which had been given to the sculptor
by Madame de Stael herself. She is represented •
in it on her knees, weeping over the sarcophagus
of her parents, who appear holding out their
hands to her from flenven. Her last wish was,
that her ashes should be united with theirs. The

__-
Members of the Municipal Body of the Commune
of Copper requested to he themselves the bearers
of the coffin, desiring thus to pay a mark of re-
spect to the memory of one who had rendered
herself dear to them by her kindhesses. The
greater number of the State Counsellors orthe
Canton of Genevp were present at this melan-
choly. and affecting ceremony. The Duke de
Noaiiles had come from Rolle with the same it,-

tention. The procession was very numerous,
for besides the relatives and friends of Madame
de S:.ael, most of the prinCipal inhabitants of Ge-
neva and its environs hastened there with anxiety.
Persons
.of and all classes collected in
crowds to see the procession pass. The Pastor
of the Parish, M. Barnaud, pronounced in the
Chapel of Supper, over the coffin, a religions dis-
coinse, extracted in a great degree from the ser-
mons of M. Necker. A solemn silence reigned
among the spectkirors while the procession moved
towards the enclosure of the torah. It was be-
lieved that the intenrions of ladaine de .Sta,,l
would be best fulfilled by a distribution
of money aniong;l he poor of the neighhoudiond,
%%limn her bounty had so often succoured. The
first words-of her will retraced the sentiments of
respect and tenderness for her father's memory,
which regulated her lite. In the will she au-
thorised NI. de Stael and the Duchess of Broglie
to make public,the marriage wh;ch had long sub-
sisted between her and M. de Rocca, and to pre-
sent to their falUily the son who sprung front it,
