French Nation." He was greatly reduced to what
he was when I saw him here about funr years since.

Napoleon lay in state on the 6th and 7th instant.
attired in his plain uniform, with a star on his side,
and a silver cross on his breast, on a small brass tent
headateatl, which lie had with him in must of his cam-
paigns. Under him was his cloak, of blue cloth,
embroidered with silver, that he wore at the battle of
Marengo, which served after for the pall at his fune-
ral. The room where the -orpse lay was small, and
covered with black cloth. At the head of the corpse
was the altar. The Priest, Mareschal Bertrand, Count
Montholon, and all the servants were in attendance ;
one and all ettylainied he was the handsomest corpse
they had ever seen. His body is not embalmed, but
his heart is preserved in spirits. The complaint of
which he died was a cancer in his chest. lie was in-
terred on :he 9th instant, with the honours paid to
the remains of the highest general officer ; or in other
words, the highest honours that could be paid him on
this island.

lle was pnt into a leaden coffin, io his plain uniform

in two formed of mahogany ; the outer coffin had
plain top and sides, black ebony round the edges, and
Piker bead-screws raised above the IW.

Napoleon is buried in a ver)t romantic spot, si-
tn:►tedi in a valley near a place called lint's (late. I
here relate the cause of lila choke. When he first
arrived Marshal Bertrand resided at Ilut's Gate, un-
til a house was built for him ne:►r the E'-Emperor's,
who frequently visited the General's family, and he,
(Gontyarte) would very often stroll down to a spring
of excellent water (considered the best water on the
island), and ordered a glass to be brought that he
might drink. Madame and Marshal Bertrand were
always with him, and he several times said to them,
'• If it pleases God that I should die on this rock,
have me buried on this spot," which he pointed, oat,
near the sprint•, beneath some willow trees.
It is very singular that the house Wended fo►r Bo-
naparte a as completely finished and brniAlled, which,
when Bersrand remarked to him, he.Rierved it wouid
serve for his tomb. This was absolutely the case, as
the stone, were taken from the kitchen which formed
the vault. tin the I•'th all his effects were exhibited.

was shown his wardrobe by Marchand, his valet, and a
more shabby set-out I never beheld. Old coats, hats, and
pantaloons, that a n.idshiptnan on shore would hardly
condescend to wear. But Marchand said, it was quite
an undertak!ng to make him put on am thing new, and
then after wearing it an hour, he would throw it off, and
pat on the old again.
" The last words Bonaparte uttered were
• arrnce.' What their connections was in his mind can-
not be ascertained; but they were distinctly heard about
fire o'clock on the morning of the day he died.
" An officer's guard is appointed to watch orer his
grave.
" Bertrand, illontholon, and the rest of his household
will return to England in the Camel store-ship, which
sails in about a fortnight.
"Drawings have been taken by Captain Marryatt, of
the spot where Buonaparte lies buried, and also of the
procession to his funeral."

FURTHER PARTICULARS OF BONAPARTE.
(From the Hampshire Telegraph.)
_

The following is an extract from a letter, dated his
Majesty's ship Vigo, in St. Helena Roads, 7th 31av :
" Bonaparte was taken ill on the 17th of March last.
He immediately gave himself up, refusing medicines,
would not fur some time permit the medleal.department to
see him, grew melancholy, lost his appetite, and frequently
said lie was certain he should soon die; which event
took place on Saturday evening, May 5, about 10 minutes
before 6, just at the sitting of the sun. It has occurred to
us as worthy of note, that a comet of great size appeared
a fortnialit prelim's to his demise. 1 csterday afternoon
we saw him lying in state, in his full uniform, with the
crnc:fix on his breast ; his priest stood at the foot of his
couch, weeping in deep mouthing:—at the head stood
Heneral Bertrand, and Count Monthulon, similarly em-
ployed ; but what particularly claimedour sympathy was,
the appearance of Madame Bertrand, who was in an ad.
joining room weeping bitterly. and whose converse disco.
veretl the strength of her attachment, and her deep re-
gret for the deceased."
Yesterday the Rosario, Captain Fred. Marryatt, ar-
rived from St. Helena with duplicate despatches and an
official account to tiovernment of the interment of Bo-
naparte. Captain 31arryatt also brings, we understand,
Bonaparte's papers, his will, and other testamentary
doenments. We are informed lie has left considerable
property, and has most liberally rewarded his domestics,
particularly a faithful coachman, who had been the
means of preserving his life in a moment of imminent
danger.
