• At cis in the mornirg -the different regiments of
-fl:.! gartisen Paiiiivere called out. At seven they
occopi4 the Fasts assigned to them, and formed
double files, 'tvhiclfectended 'from the house of M.

ries to
.pioceed to the cemetery of the Madeline. On
art ivmat that place, their Royal Highnesses entered
invt the tent under which were deposited the remains
of th• Royal Martyr and his august spouse. The
prayers for the dead were said and afterwards, in the
presence of the Princes, the fiTst stone of the chapel,
which is to be built on the place where the remains
of the Kim!: and Queen were found, was laid.
-At the moment When the venerable reliques were
removed from the Cemetery, all the spectators fell
on their kites. It is impossible to con.
ceivio 'pectacle more awful or more affecting. An
itunr.:ns.: crowd foll Owed the procession from the Ma.
deline to St. Denis, and the different corps of the
Ring's Household led and closed it. By a singular
concurrence, the Prince De Poix commanded the
King's Household on this occasion, as he had, with
great loyalty and fidelity, on the 10th of August.
The glasses of almost all the carriages were open,
and the persons within could be seen ; but the glasses
el the carriage in which were Monsieur and the Princes
Leis cons were drawn up. Monsieur was in the back
of the car, iage, ancrthe Duke de Angouleme and the
Du%t, (lc Berry were in the front. Five heralds at
al-nis on horseback, in grand costume, with crape
r rms, were behind the carriage of the Princes.
I'Vtoxt came the funeral car,- on which all eyes were
tls and which contained the eternal object of our
trg;ret • and our repentance. The car was fourteen
f:tt. T..; and slx high. In its middle was placed the
rircopliaf2us. which was more than three feet high.
The stand tvhich supported it was one foot high, and
six ;mot long. - Four plates of silver were placed at
the ft,ur .earners of the bar. A semicircular arch of
black velvet was formed over the- bier. In the centre
eve r e the escutcheons of the King and Queen, sur-
rarnincd by 'the French crown. Above the sarco-
phagiis, containing the two coffins, was a pall of
black velvet, emblazoned with the arms of France.—
This majestic car was drawn by eight horses, ;richly
ltari:essed. Etch had a lirge horse cloth of black vel-
aer, fringed with sliver, interspersed with escutcheons,
and surmounted with coronets.
. The crown, which terminated the sarcophagus, was
visible at it great distance over the whole of the pro.
cession. The car was sutrounded by a detachment of
bre kindred' Swiss. On the right and left marched
.11:* files Of.'the poor of both sexes, each bearing a
tiro, and haring badges of cloth on their shoulders.
Nunieriais detachments of the gareles.clu.corps, both
loot acid horse, escorted the car, following it in very
il6Sc ranks. A. detachment of the gen.d'armes, of
the King, 'closed the march. This is the first time
shat detachments of the four corps of household have
been seen* togethtr, and their appearanie had a fine
• ifvect .G .rapoied as they are, of young men, full of
.ardour, aril attachment to their Sava eign a pieces of
cannon .foilowed, and were fired at intervals: The
two obellsiti, which are at the gate of St. Denis were
covered with black cloth, to which were attached the
arms of France, with palms of silver. There the clergy
waited for the procession, which arrived about noon.
'lite whole porch. of St. Denis, to a great elevation,'
was covered scab black, and the following simple,
but touchiffig inscription appeared upon it in large

'ehe procusion entered *the church, The coffins,
from the funeral car, were placed under a catafalque,
suanounted by the royal mantle and the crown, and
surrounded by thousands of wax-lights. The church
was entirely covered with black, on which, at inter-
vals, were seen the arms of France, environed by
pain branches of silver. The nave and gallery were
-tilled with perstnts in mourning. The music of the
Zing's Chapel, to which some distinguished hands
were added, performed during the funeral service
some. exquisite pieces, which heightened, if possible,)
the tedder and religious sentiments that penetrated
the la:mi.—The following is the order in which the
procession arrived at the gate of St. Denis, which it
}cached exactly at lialf.past twelve o'clock ;

At two o'clock the Bishop of Troyes delivered the
Funeral Oration. He took for his teat the wards of
David, repelling with indignation the counsels of his
friends, who wished to destroy iattriernid
rum, &e. The discourse was eloquent and pathetic.
lie was listened to with the most profoend and solemn
attention.
The-ceremony terminated at half-past four o'clock.
Frdtn thal time until five cannon were fired from a
battery plieed on' the left of 'St. Denis, and which,
to4eilier with the tolling of bells, never eeiteed for an
instant. Toe cardists.beionging to the Procession
entered Paris at fouto'clock.
After the ceremony, tbe Princes, accompapicd by

, .

the 11/41.trshals of Pram, arida great number of Staff •
Officers, dined together at St. Denis.
The weather wAkceld, and the sky cloudys.but all
the inhabitants of the capital wished to see the pro-
cession pass, and the crowd from Paris to St. Denis
wes immense. Not a cry nor a word disturbed this
rdigious ceremony. Every one appeared affected by
sentiments which it could not fail to inspire. The
windows of several houses on the Boulevards and the
Fauxbourg Saint Denis were hung with black; all the
shops on the road were closed. Although the road
was slippery and dangerous for horses, we have not
heard of the slightest accident, owing to the precau-
tion of laying down gravel.
