was that of the French Vice Admiral the viscompte
Duchesne, who died on the Sd inst, and whose fun
era obsequies, for he is not yet buried, were per-
formed on the 4th, the glorious Fourth of Juy-the
birthday Of liberty! In consequence of the close
political connection between France aud Spain,
these obsequies were sort Of national affair. At
6 O'Clock P. NJ. on the 4th the funeral pro cession
moved from the house Of the Marquis Duchesne, in
the Gale de San Salvador de Orta. First went o

having been embalmed, in an excellent state OF
