LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 3, 1837.

• We received last night the Paris Papers of
Saturday, and the Etoile of Sunday morning.
They, contain no political news of importance,
but are filled with accounts of a most disgrace-
fid scene which took place on Friday at the
ftloeral of the Duke de la ROCHEFOUCAULT-
kiNCOURT, whose patronage of the arts and
.aleiences,and whose benevolence and philanthropy,
had rendered him an object of general attach-
41ent, and had oxcited the deepest regret at his
death.
It appears that the Duke's funeral was attended
Y many of the principal Members of both
Chambers, and other persons of distinction. A
'lumber of the Students of L'Eeole des Arts et
' ktiers of Chalons, of which the deceased had
been the FoMider andlnspector-General, wished
to demonstrate theirrespect by carrying the corpse
from the house in which it lay to the Church of
the. Assumption,. where the funeral service was
to be performed. This they actually did, and
although the crowd was very great, no interrup-
tion or confusion appear to . have taken
Place. After the funeral service had been
performed, the Students wished to resume
theirhurthen, when an Officer who commanded
the 'military escort interfered to prevent their do-
lug So, stating that orders had been received to
1 iralibit the conveyance of the body by any other
imode than in a hearse. The Students were,
"wever, resolved to carry their intentions into
tfrect, and resisted the Military and the Police ;
a Conflict ensued in which the Gens.d'Arnies
used their bayonets, and many of the young men
were wounded. During this contest the coffin
fell to the ground and rolled in the kennel. After
acme considerable time the coffin was placed
11'1 a hearse, and the procession moved on to the
°arrier, while; to use the words of the 'Journal
44 Debuts, ~ indignation, mingling in every
``
heart with the grief which so sorrowful an
event occasioned, added to the mournful ,ap-
c,
, Pearance of the ceremony." Arrived at the
`:arrier the procession halted, while M. CHARL Es
"iIPIN delivered a funeral oration to upwards
of two thousand persons.
'All the Morning Papers describe the feelings
- .of the inhabitants of ,Paris as shocked and indig-
nant at this-disgusting occurrence, an occurrence
which, *Pals entirely.brought on by the uncalled
for interference of the authorities, in preventing
an innocent demonstration of respect towards the
• .a remains of
virtuous man.
i . The Etoile
1 endeavours to palliate the transac-
tion, but admits the main facts of the case.
. The following letter addressed 'by the third
, son of the deceased Duke, to the Journal des
hebats, proves that, his family had no wish to
prevent the body being borne by those who were
• desirous of paying' thiS last tribute of their attach-'
anent to their benefactor.
th;l Shall say but one word 'on the iiorrible scene which
1 Place at the funeral of my father, ,
I ask what right
t 7,4 the police to prevent a f amily from allowing the body
Lik citizen to be borne by men's arms, instead of being
~-17rsyed in a carriage ; and what is gained by such an
V Popular homage, iiit so honourable to him who me-
it;
••It, is bestowed from the moment that the wish to pay
