LONDON,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 4, IS)17.

The Paris Papers of Sunday, and the Etoile,
dated Monday morning, which reached us last
'light, are filled with observations on the
graceful occurrences which we described yester-
day, at the funeral of the Duke de RocHE-
voucAkTLT.
A strong feeling of indignation has been ex-
cited in all classes. In the Chamber of Peers,
' the Duke de CHoisEur, brought forward the
subject on Saturday morning, and moved that
the Grand Referendary should render an account
°f all the facts ; this proposition was carried al-
'lost unanimously. In the Chamber of Depu-
ties, M. CASIMIR PERRIER alluded to the dis-
graceful transaction, but left to the Peers the
care of demanding reparation for the indignity
offered to their body. The public press also has
taken up the subject, in a manner which does
credit to the state of feeling in France ; and as
the unnecessary interference of the Police on this
occasion was the cause of the disgusting scene
Which occurred, we shall be surprised if the pre-
. sent is not seized hold of as a fit opportunity
to endeavour to limit the functions of the French
Police, which are constantly exercised in ways
laconsistent with the liberty of the subject, or at
least with our notion of it. '
The Etoile has a long article in vindication
of the Police, in which it says that the mode of
carrying the body on shoulders is tolerated by
the Administration, on the application of the
family of the deceased. To us of this free land,
Where no interference exists with the private
concerns of individuals, it is scarcely to be con-
ceived that the Government of France should
regulate the mode in which a corpse is to be
carried to the grave !
We must refer for further particulars on this
subject to the extracts of the French Papers,
Which are inserted in another column. No poli'-
tical news is contained in them.

We received last night, by the Sir Edward
Bankes steam-vessel, Hamburgh Papers to the
31st ult. They contain no political news, but
are chiefly filled with gloomy accounts of inun-
dations from the melting of the snow. The ac-
counts of the Duke of CUMBERLAND are favour-
able, and tend to confirm the hopes which are
entertained that the operation which his Royal
Highness has undergone in his eyes will prove
successful. We subjoin a few extracts :

Harrovra, MARCH 28.—The General Assembly of the
States of the Kingdom closed its Session on the 23d inst.
The accounts of the inundations in East Friesland are
Very distressing. A letter from Klairsthal, of the 25th
INlarch, says that anew fell on the 18th, to the depth of five
or six feet, which heavy rain and warm weather had en-
tirely melted.
BREMEN, Mancit 27.—We most joyfully and gratefully
acknowledge the assistance that has been afforded us, and
Still continues to be given, especially by our nearest neigh-
bours; but assistance is, indeed, necessary, for the distress
is inexpressibly great. The water is here on an average
nine feet, and at Dreye eleven feet. Yesterday it rose here
I° ten feet, and at Dreye to twelve. And this intisle„, man
of Rater rushes with desolating fury through the unfor-
tunate breaches in the dikes, especially at Habenhangen,
and the destruction and distress increase daily. The aitua_
tine of the inhabitants of the suburbs and vicinity is heart-
rending. Bremen resembles an island in a vas:. sea. As
far as the eye can reach (with the exception of Hasted and
Vegesack), there is not in the whole country a village, a
farm, or a single house free.
PRTERSBURGH, MARCH 17.—His Majesty has addressed
an Ukase to the Senate, and anether to General Yermoloff,
with a new system of administration for the province of
eaucalia, which is to be tried for three years.

rt. We have given in another column a paragraph
:ill) the Times, stating that a part of the sum
td for the relief of the distressed manufac-
t4 p
er4, under the authority of the KING'S letter,
44) be appropriated to the objects of emigration.
