Tfoyes. These sovereigns, magnifyine the
danger BY the memory of so many former de-
feats and fearful OF a snare in the yerv heart
Of France, which had fallen with snch annar-
ent facility into their hands, agreed to send,
to their respective plenipotentiaries at the
Congress Of Chatillon, the most pressing in
stiuctions to effecta peace. Had the Enuer.
or had timely notice of these terrors. he conld
have signed peace on European basis. at
the moment that his own Empire was fading
beneath his feet but he was ignorant of these
terrors. Alarmed on his own part as the
masses crowding toward Arcissuraube, where
he unexpectedly met with the arny of Schar-
wartzenburg. A sangninary battle ensued,
unexpectedly by both generals, between the
French and Austrians, Napoleon fought at
hazard, without any other plan than the ne
cessity Of fighting, and the resolution to con-
lquer or die. He renewed, in this action, the
miracles Of bravery and sang froid of Lodi
and Rivoli and the youngest soldier, blush
ed at the idea of deserting chiefwho hazard
ed his own life with such invincible courage.
He was repeatedly seen spurring his horse to
a gallop against the enemy's cannon, and re-
appearing as if inaccessible to death, after the
smoke had evaporated A live she'll having
fallen in front of one of his young batallions,
winch recoiied and waved in expectation of
the explosion. Napoleon, to reassure them,
spurred his charger towards the instrument of
destruction, made him smell the burning
match, waited mistaken for the explosion and
was blown up. Rolling in the dust with his
mutilated steed, and rising without wound:
amidst the plaudits of his soldiers, he. calmly
demanded another horse, and continued to
brave the grape shot, and to fly into the thick
est of the battle. His guard at length arriy.,
ed, and restored the fortune of the day.-Lam-

& tnre,
We publish below full list of the mem
bers elect to the first Legislature under Tie
New Constitution. 1t is made up of good
sound working men. We never saw list
containing less Of the elements Of discord,
or more Of good working abilities We
have the highest hope Of the result Of their
labors. We do not notice any among the
whigs that we would judge before hand as
factious, and whose time would be spent
merely to disturb and delay the action Of the
majority.
Never since Ohio was formed into State,
was there a Legislature about 10 meet on
which deyolyed SO great mass Of work, and
of SO great importance. v
We believe, however, thSt they are able
to perform the work--a union OF sentiment
"a harmony Of action-with sound minds
applied to the work, We have the fullest
confidence that the result will be satisfactory
to the people Of the State. If not, no one
can predict the future, and all our boasted
majority may easily be frittered away, by
distractions, and failures 10 meet public ex-

Obsequies of Archbishop EcclestOn.

The funeral obsequies Of the late Most Reverend
Archbishop Eccleston took place at the Cathedral
on Saturday morning, and were very solemn and
imposing. At nine o'clock the tollng of the great
bell of the Cathedral, followed by that of the bells
of the other Catholic churches, announced the ap-
proaoh OF the period for the commencement of the
services, but even before this the vicinity Of the
Cathedral was thronged by those who were anx-
ious to obtain entrance. AS the hour of II o'clock
approached the throngs increased, and every ava l.
able space within the church occupied by those
who could succeed in obtaining admission, whilst
the crowd without still seemed undiminished.
AT the hour appointed for the ceremonies the
body was removed from the cenotaph on which it
had been laid, and borne the front entrance
OF the archiepscopal mansion, to the west
of the Cathedral.
| As the procession entered the Cathedral and ad-
vanced up the main asle the magnificent Marcia
r unebre OF Beethoven was performed by the Ger
mania company, its grand and impressive harmo-
nies mingling with the solemn chaunt of the priests
On reaching the head of the church, the clergy and
their attendants took positions within the chancel
and the remains placed on cenotaph in the
| aisle, Immediately in front OF the altar. In the sol
| emn services which followed, the Right Reverend
Bishop kenrick officiated, assisted by the Rev
| Mr.. Elder of St Mary's College, the Rev. Mr.
| Hidden, of Mount St. Marys College, and Others
| OF the reverend clergy.
The funeral sermon preached by the Right
| Rev Bishop McCi who selected as the theme OF
| his remarks the passage of Scripture commencing
the 18th verse of the 4th chapter of St. Paul's
| Epise to the Thessalonans, and embracing the
remainder of the chapter. The reverend speaker
after alludng in eloquent terms to the exalted vir-
tues and piety of the deceased proceeded to enforce
the precepts of his text those which had infu.
/ enced him during his life, and which had secured
| to him the appreciation of God and the esteem and
| veneration of men.
| The buria-service was then chaunted over the re-
mains by the Ri. Rev. Bishops in attendance, as
sisted by the Very Rev. Mr.. Broeard, the Rever d
Mr.. Coskery, and others of the clergy, after which
| the body was removed to the vault under the Ca
thedral, and after the blessing of the tomb, were
deposited there. The clergy then returned to th
church, and the ceremonies concluded with tn,
| performance by the Germania of the dead march
by Bergman
The ceremonies were conducted throughout wit
the greatest order and propriety, rejecting mucl
credit all concerned in their arrangement. Bal

One of the missionaries to Liberia lately made
an exploring tour of 253 miles, on foot into the
interior. He passed through thirty villages of the
Goulas, Deys, Queaks and Condoes. In his report
he says:
