THE PACIFIC

We learn from Mr. W. H. Green, of the United States
navy, who came passenger in the brig America, from Chagres,
that he left Guayaquil on the 6th of October, that he passed
the Isthmus of Darien on the 26th and 27th in 21 hours.
That Gamaro had been re-elected President of Lima, and
that business was very dull both at that place and Guayaquil.
Considerable excitement existed at Lima about the Ist of
September, in consequence of an affair between the French
charge and the Peruvian Minister of Finance. The charge
called on the minister in relation to the claims of certain
French citizens, and was treated with rudeness. He chal-
lenged the minister, but the fight was prevented by Presi-
dent Gamarra, who arrested the minister, and placed a guard
before the door of the French charge. The latter then made
the subject the matter of an official communication, and de-
manded his passports. It was rumoured that the French ad-
miral had required the Peruvian Government to dismiss the
minister and apologise for his conduct within 10 days, and
that the penalty of a refusal would be a blockade of the port.
The frigate Thetis was the only French man of war in port.

RIO DE JANEIRO AND BUENOS AYRES.
The brig Firm, Capt. Sands, has arrived from Rio Janeiro,
bringing us later accounts from that city and from Buenos
Ayres.

Occasion had been taken on the event of the Emperor
ascending the throne to enter into a parley with the rebel
chief Bento Gonsalvez, in the province of Rio Grande, with

a view of restoring tranquillity to that fine province, but it
appears without success.

-A general impression seemed to prevail that the difficul-
ties between France and Buenos Ayres were on the point of
adjustment, although at the last accounts from the river Plate
the blockade still existed. This impression was so strong
that it had affected many mercantile operations at Rio.

NAPOLEON'S REMAINS

(From the Morning Herald of yesterday.)
ST. GERMAINS, MONDAY, DEC. 14,
ONE O'CLOCK.

The near neighbourhood to Paris of the bridge of Pede,
built across the Seine, immediately beneath the town of St.
Germains, brought immense crowds from the capital, to wit-
ness the passage of the funeral flotilla. From seven o'clock
in the morning to this moment, the railway trains from
Paris have continued to pour forth their thousands. The
roads from all parts of the country, as from Paris, are still
incumbered with foot passengers and every description of
vehicle, all verging to one common centre. Very many,
however, are the disappointed, and loud are their lamenta-
tions, " at having gone so far for nothing"—the relics of St.
Helena, conveyed by La Dorade, and convoyed by eight other
steamers; having glided by it at eleven this morning.
A dense mass of people were collected on each side of the
river, and on that of the town of St. Germains the lofty
heights were covered with persons at every opening left by
the houses and villas, the windows of these being also occu-
pied. Tapestry and the national colours were appended to
the walls of many of these. The bridge was ornamented with
flags and pennants, the municipal authorities and troops lin-
ing it, as indeed the banks of the river. Infantry and ca-
valry of the regular troops, and of the civic guard from St.
Germains, Versailles, and other places, were present to
about 8000 men : the artillery of the national guard fired
minute guns. The flotilla proceeded in much the same order
as when it quitted Rouen. but this time attended by a bril-
liant band, 200 of the best performers of the metropolis, un-
der the leadership of the chief of the orchestra at the Opera,
being in attendance on board one of the vessels, and playing
funeral symphonies and military music. A cry of " Viva
l'Empereur !" burst forth on the approach of La Dorade,
which was saluted by the national flag as she passed under
the bridge.

From the flotilla's departure from Rouen, as before its ar-
rival there, the preparations above and below the river covered
its banks, and were no villages or even insignificant hamlets
were in sight, a salute fired from some small cannon, a dis-
charge of fire-arms, or the waving of a flag, attested the pre-
sence of detached groups of peasantry and others who had
quitted their avocations not alone to gaze fora
few moments
on the cercueil, but to signify their participation in the nati-
onal feeling. The few small towns through which it passed,
each according to its means bore its share in adding to the
warmth of the general welcome, but no incident occurred
worthy of mention at these beyond what has already been
described in this and my former letters. Thus to Courbe-
voie and Paris, I must look to give you such further details
as may prove interesting. I leave this immediately for the
former place, at which I am secured the firstarrival from the
windings of the river, but the character of the localities will
prevent my personally witnessing the reception at St. Denis,
the burial place of the Bourbon dynasty, through which the
cortege must at this moment be proceeding.

COURBEVOIE, 6 o'clock, Evening.—At Annieres, a small
village two miles below this, lay the massive and gorgeous
vessel which.had been built to convey Napoleon's remains
from Val-de-la-Hale. A receptacle for these had been raised
on-it, dpeli. &Wks ,liiiaVort:
`eads of iviiicthearmarEtrtVrefrlt hiftuilttPta Tbireet:
ple being by several steps. The vessel had an immense eagle
(gilded) as a figure head, and bronze shields suspended all
round with the names of victories, trophies of arms, flags
surmounted by the imperial eagle, and laurels at its bulkhead.
This magnificent and expensive piece of craftmanship was
not used for the purpose it was destined for, from its great
weight rendering it impossible it could be towed up by any
steamer on the river in time for the translation to take place
on the 15th instant, (to-morrow). This vessel was made to
form part of the convoy for the last two miles.
The masses which still crowded this place an hour ago are
now fast dispersing, as the departure of the Prince of Join-
ville and suite for the Tuileries, in two of the royal carriages,
which have just crossed the bridge of Neuilly, clearly evidence
that Napoleon's remains will not touch French ground for the
first time to-night. The cortege arrived here at four o'clock,.
and were received without any pomp or display, the usual
military salutes alone excepted. There was just sufficient of
troops and gendarmerie to preserve order, every thing being
reserved for the morrow. Marshal Soult, M. Guizot, and
Admiral Duperre, Minister of Marine, were on the spot.
A small temple, with open columns, is erected on the left
bank of the river, and there the coffin will be deposited on its
first landing, when some funeral service will be performed
prior to its being placed on board the splendid car prepared
for its reception. In front of this temple are two handsome
trophies of arms bronzed over. A half-finished column,
intended for a figure of Victory, is at the entrance of the
bridge.

PARIS, MONDAY NIGHT, NINE O'CLOCK.
The whole way, as I just came along thefavenue de Neuilly,
the barriere de l'Etoile, and through the Champs Elysees,
was thickly studded with people, and on each side workmen
busied in preparations.
There is much anxiety felt by government relative to the
events of to-morrow. Napoleon-le-Grand, as he is now in-
variably named by the opposition and anti-dynastic press, is
also pronounced the personification of the glory of France,
of its greatness, and of its national honour; all of which they
indignantly cry have been lowered to the dust within the last
few months. What a period, they exclaim, and what men
(referring to the ministry termed that l'e'trangere to receive
these glorious relics. The feeling against England as the
instrument of that humiliation is most intense among that
portion of the press, and those very people who have been
the partisans and stanchest defenders, for the last ten years,
of an English alliance—a betrayed friend becomes the more
bitter as an enemy ! This is not the moment to enter into
the region of politics, but the effect of Lord Palmerston's
policy (so to call it)) to give, because it is the representative
of a state of feeling which will operate actively on the conduct
of the masses, if any serious disturbances should take place,
as apprehended. But while this feeling so widely prevails
among politicians and with the people at large, the more
sober and mere bourgeois portion of the population show a
disposition to separate the English nation from its govern-
ment, while, in reference to the last, they praise its readiness
to restore the Emperor's remains and its manner of doing so.
Others, again call to mind the period when Napoleon was
twice scouted from this very capital, in 1814 and 1815, and
rail at their own legeretec; these, in their further comments
on the haters of the ruling dynasty, and of Louis Philip, in
. especial, as its chief, point to the anxiety to overthrow him
now and prophecy its success, would be followed in a few
years by an entirely other appreciation of hint, by these very
people as being one of the ablest sovereigns of France, and
certainly the ablest at this moment in Europe.
A few words in conclusion as to the conduct pursued by
the king in this transference to Europe of the ashes of Na-
poleon, and the subsequent ceremonial. His readiness to
give effect to so national a desire among the French, is
everywhere lauded, but his sending one of his sons to fetch
them is severely criticised. The king is known to have used
strong language of opprobrium against the " Corsican
usurper" in 1815 ; he has styled him the assassin of the
Duke d'Enghein, his relative, and yet he sends his son to
bring back the remains of the author of a crime against his
own blood—of one who ever hated his race and name !He
should have sent some distinguished admiral, but not .one of
his own family. He acts from mean motives in this, and is
a hypocrite in this manifestation, as he has been 'in most
others. Such are the remarks which are somewhat preva-
lent among the higher classes, as well as others here ; it may
be conceived then the disgust which has spread among them,
first, on learning the king's intention personally to meet the
procession at the Hotel des Invalides, and receive charge of
the remains of Napoleon from the hands of his son, the
Prince de Joinville, then to head the' procession himself to
convey them to their resting place. Certainly the king has
a difficult task to attempt to please all. Ido not venture on
any opinion as to how far his conduct may be properly con-
sistent with good taste, but surely Louis Philip may fairly,
on such an occasion as this, separate his individual from his
kingly character.
The Prince de Joinville, the king's commissioners, the
officers and sailors of La Belle Poule, are in charge of the
remains, which they brought from St. Helena, till relieved
on the reception of them by the king, who will attend, sur-
rounded by his own staff, the clergy, and those dignitaries who have been especially appointed for this portion of the
ceremonial.

(From the Times of yesterday.)
PARIS, TUESDAY.—After a brilliant reception at St. Ger-
mains yesterday, the cortege proceeded slowly to Courbevoie,
where it arrived about half-past three in the afternoon. The
day was bitter cold, yet scores of thousands of Parisians of all
but the lower classes repaired to St. Germain, Chateau St.
Denis, and Asnieres, to witness its passage. During ten
days, and up to yesterday morning, Paris and its vicinity were
enveloped in a fog that would have done credit to Fleet-st. ;
but as if on purpose to oblige the foreign sight-seers now in
Paris, and the adorers, real or pretended, of the memory of
Napoleon, the sun made bis appearance yesterday. morning,
and shone throughout the day.
The flotilla arrived at Courbevoie at half-past three o'clock
on Monday, and the same honours as those decreed at Peeq,
Chatou, Epinai, St. Denis, &c, were there paid the remains
of the Emperor. _ _

At five O'clock Marshal Soult, Admiral Duperre, and M.
Duchatel arrived at Courbevoie, and repaired on board the
Dorade steamer, to pay their homage to the Prince de Join-
ville. Shortly afterwards the Duke de Nemours joined them,
and spent part of the night with his brother. All the
steamers were illuminated, and the tripods of the tumular
boat throw out flames during the whole night.

This morning, long before day, the population was seen
proceeding in the direction of the Barriere de l'Entoile, by
which the cortege was to enter Paris. The greatest number,
however, did not stop there but pushed on to Neuilly, the
the avenue of which was in the course of a short time occu-
pied by at least 400,000 or 500,000 persons. The troops of
the line and the National Guards soon afterwards arrived,
and drew up on the ground allotted to each corps on both
sides of the avenue.

The troops and National Guards of Courbevoie, Rueil, and
other neighbouring districts lined the quays, and the artillery
was drawn up close to the river side. The funereal triumphal
car shortly afterwards was seen passing the bridge, and on
reaching Courbevoie, was stationed under the portice of the
Grecian Temple.
This car, which was truly magnificent, consisted of five
distinct parts-1, the base ;2, the pedestal ;3, the caryatides
1,-the shield ; 5, the cenotaph.
The base rests on four massive gilt wheels ; it was 25 feet
long and 6 high, and presented the form of a parallelogram,
with a semi-circular platform in front. On this last stood a
group of four genii, supporting the crown of Charlemagne;
at the four angles were four other genii, in relievo, who held
garlands with one hand, and with the other the trumpet of
Fame ; above were fasces ; in the middle eagles, and the cipher
of the Emperor surrounded with crowns. The base and its
ornaments were covered with burnished gold.
The pedestal placed on this base was 18 feet in length by
7 in height, and entirely covered with gold and purple clotii,
with the cipher and arms of the Emperor. On both sides
hung two velvet imperial mantles, sprinkled with bees.
Behind was a nrofusion of flags.

On this pedestal stood 14 caryatides, somewhat larger than
life, entirely gilt over, and supporting with their heads and
hands an immense shield. Those caryatides were placed,
six on one side, and six on the other, back to back, and two
others at the extremities.

The shield was in gold, of an elongated oval form, and
loaded with fasces of javelins.

The sarcophagus, of an antique form, was raised above the
shield. In the centre, on a rich cushion, lay the sceptre, the
hand of justice, and the Imperial crown, studded with
jewels. _

This monument of gold and velvet, about 50 feet high,
was drawn by 16 black horses, yoked by fours, and so
caparisoned as only to show the extremity of the feet. The
caparison were cut in the shape of those of the tournament
horses of the middle ages. and in gold cloth.
At half-past nine o'clock the clergy of Courbevoie were
seen descending the quay, and when it had reached the
Dorade, prayers were read over the body. The Prince de
Joinville then gave orders to land, when all the assistants,
preceded by the clergy, went on shore, and the 24 seamen
having raised the coffin on their shoulders followed the pro-
cession.

It was 11 o'clock before the hearse left Courbevoie. It
paused awhile near the statue of Josephine, after which the
procession commenced its march, amidst the roarioE, of

artillery

The -National Guards and troops of the line, infantry,
cavalry, and artillery, stationed along the course of the Cro-
cession, formed into line after the passage of the car, and
closed the procession.
THE CHAMPS ELYSEES.

So early as eight o'clock on Tuesday morning the Champs
Elysees presented an animated appearance; numerous bodies
of pedestrians kept moving forward in the direction of Cour-
bevoie. The National Guard began to arrive at nine o'clock,
and the battalions were observed to be more complete than
on any occasion of their assembling since the revolution of
1830.

About a quarter past twelve o'clock the procession, which
was opened by a squadron of Curiassiers, made its appear-
ance in the Champs Elysees, and moved slowly forward,
halting at intervals.
PLACE DE LA CONCORDE.
. .

This position, perhaps one of the most prominent, and
certainly the most magnificent in the whole line of proces-
sion, presented an animated appearance at an early hour.
At an early hour all the terraces of the Tuileries facing the
Place de la Concorde were thronged by those who had been
fortunate enough to obtain tickets and sum up sufficient
patience to sit or stand out several hours of intense cold. In
the first instance it was expected and confidently asserted,
that the procession would reach the Place de Concorde by
ten o'clock, as his Majesty Louis Philippe (according to the
official announcement) was to arrive at the Invalides pre-
cisely at 11. It was, however, a quarter past one before it
made its appearance at the former.

At last 'tile long wished-for moment arrived, and the ap-
proach of the head of the procession was announced by the
beating of drums, and the solemn funeral music, and the ap-
pearance of a detachment of Cuirassiers at the entrance to
the Place de la Concorde.

The programme of the grand ceremonies of the day had
announced that Messieurs the Peers and Deputies, &c. were
expected to be in their places in the interior of the Invalides
by 11 o'clock, and that private personages munificently sup-
plied with tickets were not to be later than 10. It was near
noon when the crowd was still waiting to be admitted at the
great gate of the Invalides.
The archbishop and his magnificent train of clergy again
started, after delay, to meet the coffin and perform the rites
of absolution at the entrance of the church ; and after a de-
lay of impatient but silent expectation, the funeral proces-
sion entered, headed by the train of priests.
[We shall give the conclusion of the ceremonies on this
occasion in our next.]

THE INSANE WOMAN AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE

PURTIIER PARTICULARS

(From the Morning Herald of Yesterday.)
No doubt can be entertained that the woman examined at
the Home-office yesterday is insane. We understand that
her husband is a colonel in the German service, from whom
she is separated, but-it is not clear whether she is legally di-
vorced or not. It is said she has also two sons, lieutenants
in the same service. In person she is about five feet three
inches, slender figure, and of prepossessing countenance.
Her manners are very mild and lady-like, and she assumes
the name of the Countess Rosterlita. Her principal delusion
(which is supposed to have been brought on by the separa-
tion from her husband) appears to be, that she imagines
Prince Albert is indebted to her in a considerable sum of
money, and that the palace at Hampton Court is her here-
ditary property, as she insists that it belonged to her uncle.
The sword or dagger with which she attempted to wound the
sentinel on duty at Buckingham Palace is of straight form,
and about the size of a common bayonet. It was broke in
the scuffle which ensued. When asked what her object was
s,,s'e had important business with Prince Albert, and must
t....,,m wits out delay. Since she left the Burlington Hotel,
she has been for a day or two at several other hotels at the
west-end of the town, the last of which, we have heard, was
Fenton s. The unfortunate woman also asserts that she is
entitled to large estates in the county of Essex.
The examination yesterday at the Home-office was con-
ducted by Mr: Hall, chief magistrate of Bow-street police-
office ; no other magistrate or public functionary was present.
It commenced shortly after ten o'clock, and occupied nearly
three hours, during which a number of witnesses were exa-
mined, consisting of the waiters and landlords of hotels where
the prisoner had lodged ; and we were informed, on what we
consider good authority (but as in the boy Jones's case, the
evidence being taken in private, it is impossible to give de-
tails) that the protracted inquiry was evidently for the pur-
pose of ascertaining whether any individuals were in the
habit of calling on the prisoner, and if it was supposed she
had any connections in this country, as from the first mo -
ment she was taken into custody no doubt existed as to her
labouring under some mental delusion. The female servant
that she engaged after leaving the Burlington Hotel, was in
attendance at the Home-office all the morning, but was not
examined as a witness.
__.

On the arrival of Mr. Phillips, one of the under secretaries
of the home-office, Mr. Hall communicated to that gentle-
man the nature of the evidence which had been adduced, and
some time afterwards he left for a short time. On his return
a warrant was made out, committing the prisoner to Bethle-
hem Hospital, till such time as her Majesty's pleasure was
known. The worthy magistrate appeared to feel great sym-
pathy for the unfortunate female, and stated, as we under-
stand, that in his opinion she was an object of pity and commi-
seration, and that no doubt could exist but she was labouring
under an aberration of intellect, probably arising from mis-
fortunes of a domestic nature.
Despatches were sent, in the course of the day, from the
home-office, to apprise the Marquis of Normanby, who is at
Brighton, of the circumstances of the case, and until an an-
swer is received from the noble marquis it cannot be ascer-
tained whether it will be deemed necessary to enter into any
further investigation or not ; but the general opinion is, that
the unfortunate woman will be detained in Bedlam until in-
quiries are made as to the truth of her statement respecting
her relations in Germany.
The prisoner inquired several times what she had done to
be kept in custody all last night, and when she was about to
be conveyed in a cab to Bedlam, she asked Inspector Pearse
where she was going to, when some one replied that she was
going to meet gentlemen who would arrange her business.
She was particularly anxious about some keys which bad
been taken from her, but was satisfied on being informed
that they were safe.

The unfortunate woman, at the time she was conveyed from
the home-office, was not aware of the place to which she was
going.

(From the Globe of "Wednesday evening)
The unfortunate woman, an account of whose attack on
the sentry at Buckingham Palace is given in our Bow-street
police report, is unquestionably insane. It has been ascer-
tained that in the latter end of November she arrived in a
carriage, attended by her maid at the Burlington Hotel,
ordered the best suite of apartments to be prepared for her
reception, stating that she would be visited by Lord Mel-
bourne and other personages of distinction. The arrange-
ments were made, and met her approbation ; and her diffe-
rent meals were supplied of the choicest delicacies. No sus-
picion
was entertained of her being what she appeared, a
foreign lady of distinction, and any peculiarity of manner was
referred to her foreign habits. At length the waiter appointed
to attend upon her, intimated to the proprietor of the hotel
that he thought from her peculiar manner that their distin-
guished inmate was insane. It was arranged that the pro-
prietor should present the account in person, and determine
by the lady's manner the course he should pursue. At the
interview for this purpose, which was on the 4th inst., the
lady became highly excited, and attempted to leave the house,
but was prevented from doing so. She threatened to jump
from the window, but was prevented, and the proprietor re-
mained sitting np with her all night. In the morning she
contrived to evade the vigilance of those appointed to watch
her movements, and left the hotel with a small bundle, leav-
ing herboxes behind her. Hence she was traced to the house,
No. 17, Little Pulteney-street, where she resided for a few
days in one room on the second floor, and while there en-
gaged a young woman at the Servants' Institution, Regent-
street, to whom she addressed the letter given at the close of
this account.
The poor creature, with the strange infatuation of lunatics,
entertains a notion that she has a rightful claim to the throne.
She maintains that the palaces are hers, and has actually ap-
plied to the Lord Chancellor to give her possession of Hamp-
ton Court.
Her person is well known at the palace by the attendants,
to whom she has applied for admission ; but as her manner
on those occasions was harmless, she was merely sent away.
Of her violence yesterday, the account in our police report is
correct detail.
She underwent an examination this day at the home-
office, before Mr. Hall, the Bow-street magistrate, when her
insanity was so manifest that she excited no feeling but of
commiseration. We understand that the result of the in-
quiry was a determination to obtain her admission into Beth-
lehem Hospital as a patient.
By what means she obtained the carriage, or what her
been a
luggagblee left aea rnt the Burlington Hotel consists of, we have not
to l.

After leaving the Burlington Hotel she applied for admis-
sion as a guest at Christie's, St. James's-street, and at other
hotels in the neighbourhood, but her manner was evidently
so wild, and her expressions so incoherent, that she was
hastily dismissed.
" Susan,—Send the wash what you have received from the
