FUNERAL OF JEFFERSON.

NEW YORK, Jinx 19.
YltOM THE fIICHUOWD ItNQUIRSR, JULY 14.
The proceedings of Tuesday last furnished the
strongest tribute which could have been offered to the
memory of illustrious Jefferson. The soldiers of the
Revolution, the Ministers of Religion, the Officers of
the Federal and State Governments, citizens, military,
and soldiers, the teachers and their pupils; all descrip-
tions of people, united in 4, doing honour to the man
who had filled up the measure of his country's honour."
The exhibition was the spontaneous offering of a free
people to their distinguished benefactor.
fotwithstanding the shortness of the period which
hail been allotted for the exhibition, all the arrange-
ments were complete. The Orator, and the Ministers
of Religion were prepared for their various exercises;
and the awnings which had been commenced on the
Capitol Square on Monday morning only, was com-
pleted by ten o'clock on Tuesday. A canvass covering
had been spread over the large Lafayette arch to the
east of the Capitol, and wings thrown off to the right
and left, and in front, sufficient to accommodate an im-
mense multitude. In the tear of the arch a light plat-
form was erected, canopied with crape, for the recep-
tion of the Orator, and the Ministers of religion. The
day was uncommonly pleasant. At half after ten
o'clock, the procession began to move from the Henrico
Court House, according to the order which bad been
published by the Committee of Arrangements.
A detachment of the Light Infantry Blues with music; then the
Members of the Emotive Council; Ministers of Religion; the
(oldie V of the Revolution • the Officers of Government; Judges
and been of the Federal and State Judiciaries; Committee of
Arrangement; Municipal Authorities of the City; Justices of Hen-
rico County ; Debating Societies • Teachers with their Schools;
Otisens, Strangers, and Uniform Companies.
The lengthened procession, lour deep, extended from
the Union Hotel to the United States Bank. The whole
march through the different streets which had been de-
signated was conducted with the utmost pcssible order.
A few minutes before 12 o'clock, the precession entered
at the Eestein Gate of the Capitol Square. At this
point of time the scene was exquisitely beautiful and
impressive. It pleated the eye of taste, whilst it delighted
the soul of the patriot. The whole area under the
awning was filled by a numerous assemblage of Ladies
and Gentlemen. The military, and many citizens who
were unable to obtain seats, were stationed around. All
was order, and a solemn silence reigned through an
assembly estimated to contain at least 5,000 persons.
The exercises were commenced with music : Bishop
Moore, of the Episcopal Church, then put up prayer.
Alter another strain of solemn music, Mr. Tyler, the
Governor of the Commons' ealth, arose and delivered
un eloquent address.
As soon as the orator had concluded, the band struck
to? a fine dirge, after which the Rev. Mr. Kerr, of the
baptist Church, closed the exercises with prayer.
The whole scene was of too impressive a character
es er to be forgotten. It was worthy of the great and good
man whose loss it was intended to commemorate.
Iklinutc guns were fired for one honr in the morning, and one
hour in the evening; and the State-house and Penitentiary bells
were tolled through the whole day.

The whole of the body of Ktlnsea Church fell down the
cliff on Tuesday, the Ist inst.lsaving nothing but a part of the sterpie
standing. Srrvice bad been perforated in it on the preceding Sun-
da I'sckct.

Accounts from the Brazils to the 15th of June state,
that on the Ist of that month, the French frigate Seine
arrived at Rio, having on board Baton de CHAIROL,
beater of the treaty concluded with his CATHOLIC
MAJzsre and the EMPEROR, which wa# expected would
be ratified in a few days.

A German Mail, with accounts from St. Petersborgh
to the Bth, and Brussels to the £2d instant, reached us
this morning. The following are extracts:

BRUSSELS, Amuse 19.

A recent letter from Smyrna announces that the
Ottoman Porte refuses to pay the sum due to Euro-
peans by the Greek merchants who have fled from that
city, and whose property it has caused to be sequestrated
and sold, though it has produced a sum much exceed-
ing the amount of the debts. The Porte bad at first
recognized the justice of those claims, in which houses
in France, and many countries of Europe, are more or
less interested ; bit after having for years eluded the
II just claims of the creditors, it now, in spite of the re-
Imonstrances ef the Ambassadors, raises vain objections,
which are equivalent to a formal refusal.

20th.—Letters of 19th of June have been received
from Curacoa. Many persons who have come from
• ent parts of the Terra Firma, assert that profound
tranquillity everywhere prevails. All the southern dis-
tricts, as Varennes, the Valley of Apure, !cc. had ac'
knowledged General Paez, as civil and military chief
of the Republic of Venezuela, and had sent deputies
to Valencia to compliment him. The municipalities
of several towns had received orders from him to send
deputies to the Congress, to be opened at Valencia, the
10th June. The general opinion was, that if the Con-
gress of Santa Fe should send troops against Venezuela,
they would be sacrificed gratuitously, on account of
the superiority of the troops of Paez, and their attach-
ment to him.

No news had been received from the eastern district,
Cumana, &c. but Burmudez, who commands, was sup-
posed t• be averse to this new revolution—his force is
too weak to support his opposition; nor had any news
been received frdm Maracaibo, but as that town belonged
to the old province (Capitanit), no doubt was entertained
of its joining Venezuela.
22d.—In the course of April last, was published at
Paramaibo, the Royal Decree of 4411 January, con-
taining further regulations for keeping the register of
slaves in that province, and tending to check the slave
trade. Besides the registry of the slavei, nctice is to be
taken in the registers of every change that takes place
among them, whether by death, or by the change of
the proprietors.

It was generally believed in the colony, that these
measures will not only attain the end which his Majesty
had in view, but will also put an end to a number of
evil practices in use among the poorer classes, by means
of simulated sales cr pretended alienation of slaves.
We have not only hors that a concordat between his

MAje,sty and the Pope will be concluded this year, butt
' also that we shall soon hare an Apostolic Nuncio, Who
will reside al Brusseli.
ST. PETERSBURG% Amid,.
The following is the translation of a rescript, dated
June 5, to Privy Counsellor Toutobmine, which his just
been ptiblished in the Gazette of the Senate:—

" The late Empress Elizabeth, our beloved sister-in-law; ibtended
to employ 300,000 rubles of her revenues for the relief of the widows
and orphans of civil Officers, who, according to the etisting laws;
are not entitled by the services of their husbands or fathers to pen-
sions, or other relief from the Government, and whom their pttivrty
might render worthy of compassion. Desiring to fulfil this intention
of her Majesty, we have ordered the Department of Appanages to
pay you the sum of 300,000 rubles. which shall form a capital, the
interest of which shall be employed conformably to the desire of the
late Empress. You will therefore draw up a plan on this subject.
which you will lay before us for our approbation.
(Signed) NICHOLAS."

On the 13th April, at half-past three in the afternoon,
a smart shock of an earthquake was felt at Eliabeth-
Pol, which continued twenty minutes, and was accom•
panied by a subterraneous detonation. Happily no
accident occurred.

Their Imperial Highnesses the young Grand Duke
ALEXANDER and the Grand Duchesses MARIA and
OLGA, with the Empress MOTHER, who went to meet
them, arrived at Moscow on the 50th July, amidst the
acclamations of the people.

We have received Lima Gazettes to the 15th of May,
and the first number of a Newspaper, entitled Li
Peruano. In our preceding columns we have given
extracts. The Meeting of Congress was attended with
some confusion. A considerable number of the new
Members refesed to take Oath to the Constitution under
its present form. A large proportion, about fifty,'
signed a Memorial to the Liberator BOLIVAR, request-
ing
that he would continue to retain his present autho-
rity in Peru for another year. BOLIVAR has acceded
to their wishes ; observing, that the welfare of all the
South American States was connected so closely, that
he would remain the period they requested, for the pur-
pose of fixing the form of Government on a firm basis ;
although he expressed his desire and anxiety to return
to Colombia, his native country. His wishes on this
subject will be much increased, when he hears of the
events which have taken place in Valencia, and the de-
fection of General Pautz. He has behaved with kind-
ness to the Royalists. The messengers from Pees and
MONTILLA would probably reach him about the end
of May.

We have received Washington and Boston Papers to
the 21st ult. and Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New
York to the 22d. Mr. VAUGHAN, the English Minister,
had left Washington on a tour to the falls of Niagara.
The National Intelligencer contains some further ac-
counts of the stoppages of various Banks in the United
States. It is stated that Commodore PORTIR has posi-
tively determined to accept a high command in the
Mexican Navy. Hr is to receive the appointment of
Commissioner of the Navy, in which office he will have
the sole and exclusive power in governing the Naval
establishment. The Baltimore Patriot of July 21,
however, discredits this information, and expresses its
opinion that Commodore PORTER will return to his
native country. The Baltimore Chronicle, of July 22d,
contains a decree of the Mexican Government, speci-
fying the conditions upon which foreigners may be
allowed to reside within the territories of the Republic.
The following are extracts :
