The Princes' coach was succeedaded by the non- ,
missioned offieers, all members of the Legion of, 1l
selected as bearers of the body from the car int°,
cathsdral. They separated . the coach of the
from four others, in the first of which was the
dellor of France, and the provisional President 01,,,
Elective Chamber; in the second and third the p•
Ministers; and in the fourth Marshals the Duke,
Reggio and Count Sebastiani. The deputations °'
Chambers of Peers and Deputies came next iii fa
mourning coaches and pair: A fifteenth- carriage
appropriated to the secretaires des commandereents ,
the Royal Princes. All the officers of the King's Ili I

of the deputations of the two Chambers. To
,t
officers were added the orderly officers and_ equerr'e,

the King and Princes, and the chevaliers d'honne'''

was a deputation from the Ist regiment of Hussars,
merle commanded by the Duke of Orleans, brouel°
from Nancy by a telegraphic orjer. It was Cow' • ,
of its Colonel, the Count de Gouy, a chef d'Esse,,d
captain, lieutenant, sub-lieutenant, three of -the
quartermasters, and a certain number of brigadier'
privates.
The procession closed with an immense body efi
National Guards and troops, as indicated in the r
gramme already given. In this order the solemn
cession moved slowly along its melancholy way, thr_'
crowds of the people assembled at every spot 'whew,,
view of it could be obtained, every head being loco
as the car, with its illustrious burden passed, many $ll
ing unequivocal signs of grief.
On the arrival of the procession at the Parvis
Dame, the crowd by which it was accompanied
much struck with the magnificent appearance of the
terior of the cathedral. Funeral decorations adorn '
open space in front, as well as the exterior and int'
of the building. A range of massive squarepillal
equal distance, run from the church, seven at each ~,:,,
the lines being terminated by two masts, 120 feet ,
forming the open space into a quadrilateral ent
The pillars are decorated on the top with large coresi
black, embroidered with silver, and surmounted °
'bronze vases destined to burn incense. The two
are ornamented above with silk streamers of whit
black stripes alternately, enriched with the l'r,ep
coat of arms. On each tower of the edifice is ere°ls
staff, fifty feet in height, bearing the abatial banner'
black crape,_ sprinkled over with silver stare. The °
ration of the portal rises to 100 feet above, the gr''
and mounts to the lower part of the colonnade of It
pillars. On the top is placed an embroider6d fe
silver arches, and points in the gothic style ; hslove
are three vast divisions, all ornamented -.with 90
crosses at the angles, and the two extreme ones hegti3O
at their centres two cypress crowns, with the in-serif t,*
" Antwerp," "Algiers," whilst that in the ee':l
which covers the large gothic rose of the pediele!lop,
Notre Dame, is decorated with the initials of the I'°
ornamented with a wreath of silver cy resses, and:4l
Mounted by the ducal crown. At the height O
King's colonnade, on the cathedral, a border run'.
covered with stars, also surmounted with ducal efebp4,
and terminated by a deep silver fringe. At the to 4
entrances of the church, the counterforts are.
with hangings of black drapery, bordered with Or cc
cent silver lace. Four shields occupy the place 0(4
rally occupied by the curtain hooks, and support
tassels of the hangings. pt
The body, on entering the church, was received.S,'
the Archbishop of Paris at the head of his clergy
choristers chanting the De profundis. The Prinses,
tered the cathedral after the clergy. The coffin, 01,'„iiir
by the twenty-four decorated sub-officers appoint'4t
that duty, and who formed part of the processi°9
that purpose, was placed on the catafalque, and O'er
with the large black pall. At the moment the body;
tered the church, a salute of twenty-one guns vves prO,
and the great bell of Notre Dame was tolled. The 40
which contained the heart of his Royal HighneN.
carried into the choir of the cathedral by Genera 1
bot, The Princes having placed themselves in to 014
posite the catafalque, vespers were recited by tit e Br
and chanted by the clergy of the metropolis. The
mony lasted an hour.
The inside of the cathedral presented re Sad but
nificent appearance. The immense boy of the ,eri,
from the vault to above the galleries is. ientirely Oro'
with black, decorated with, a frieze of Byzantine °lO/4

Sepulchral lamps of silver give heat to the glie.e
and the inside aisles of the chus•ch arranged in tti
hung with black, and lighted up_ in the same way fiire
galleries, are enriched with a handsome frieze of ;co
tos,
embroidery. The transepts are arranged so as
on the right and left two extensive amphitheatri:
which the members of the Chambers of Peers ane,,,
puties are to sit. The upper part of the choir is de`
rated rated like the nave ; the galleries of this part os,o

We are happy in being able to state, tisAt net pt

de Triomphe the proc-ssion on each eide'oo
funeral cars alone passing under the proud vault- pbs
reaching the Tuileries a sad contrast was offered 0,01
scene through which the procession had previ° d
passed ; the gardens were closed and deserted, se'pees
window of the palace was shut, and nothing ind'44;ei
of life was to be observed throughout the kingly'
dente. At the Louvre and the Palace of the Ire
the same death-like stillness prevailed.— Gali,
