THE REMOVAL OF NAPOLEON'S REMAINS.
PARIS November l7.-When it was first report
ed, a year ago, that the Emperor contemplated re-
moving the body of the first Napoleon from the In
vades to the Cathedral of St. Denis and of estab-
fishing there, the future buryng place of the b.
naparte dynasty, most people gave little credit to
the report. The Legitimists however, were furious
at the mere mention of such a dissertation of the
sacred cathedral; the Orleanists were douby furi-
Gus, because Bonaparte would not only be a desc
Grafton in the royal buryng place, but because the
idea and the work of Louis Philippe at the Inval-
ides were to be disregarded and destroyed; the Re
publicans laughed, and the Bonapartiss shook their
heads in silence. What was year ago but a con-
lecture, has become to-day a certainty. The gor-
geous crypt of the lnvalides, which cost nearly
81, 100000, the immense monolith of porphyry and
the sarcophagus of the same costly stone destined
to hold the remains of the exile of ST. Helena, all
these to be carried piece by piece to ST. Denis
and there regretted in the transept Of the church
consecraed to the Bourbons and the 0rleanists.-
Workmen have been engaged for more than a year
in this old cathedral but they were supposed to be
employed simply in its restoration. 1t now appears
however, that all the rich tombs of the dead mon
archs to be brought out of the ignoble corners
in which they have been slowed away for centuries
in the basement of the church, to be placed the
floor above. The Napoleon dynasty commencing |
with the'Duke of Realistically are to occupy the |
transept; Napoleon !. will occupy magnificent |
tomb, constructed from the materials at the Inva. |
lides, under the left branch of the transept, and
apart from the rest; the Bourbons and all those al
ready buried in the basement will be placed in the
side chapels of the nave and the choir in position
infinitely more appropriate than that they now
occupy, for there is not grocer at Paris of mod
crate wealth who does not bury himself more
grandly than are these ancient monarchs and
seignOrs.
1t has been subject of surmse these five years
ever since the tomb of the Invalides fnisned-
why the body of Napoleon was not placed in the
sarcophagus The explanation is evi, emit
Napoleon ILL., has all this time had the intention of
placing his uncle, himself, and his dynasty, under
the sacred roof of St Denis, among the kings who
ruled France by divine right; and therefore, it
not deemed proper to place him formally in the
grand crypt of the Inyades, to be removed again. l
! Thus the body has been kept hidden away ever
since its arrival from ST. Helena, in side chapel,
| to which the public have never been admitted
| When the cathedral Of st. Denis is prepared for
! the change, the body of the Duke Of Reichstadt
will be no doubt delivered up by Austria, and then
the two bodies-tather and son, will be carried to
st. Denis in the midst of one Of those magnificent
pageants which appear necessary to the life of the
| French people. If, however, the BOurbons, or
the 0reanists should ever come back to power
again, they will pitch all that into the with
out ceremony, and proceed to cleanse out the sa
cred temple, by the burning Of incense and the
| petition of endless masses.
JUSTICE To THE SOUTF.-About II o'clock yester-
day forenoon, the annexed paper placed on our
counter, and a notice of the fact posted on our
| bulletin. Before night more than three hundred
and ftty persons, chiefly merchants, had signed IT,
being at the rate of one in minnie an average.
| First and last have had great many memOri-
ais, &C. left in office for signatures, but never
| before, with slight notice, was ANYTHING like
such number of signatures appended. Here is
| evidence of a strong and pervading sentiment
among our citizens in favor of public meeting for
the object mentioned, and we hope and trust that
| tomorrow will not pass away without a formal
| call being got and signed BY of prOmi-
nent merchants, with designation of time and
place of meeting. The newspapers could convoke
| several reasons it is not the best way. The meet
| ing ought to be called by merchants. The news
| papers, or most of them, will promptly follow.
We subOin the paper alluded to, and state that it
will remain on our counter to-day to give others
an opportunity to sign it. We wish it to be I'M
derstood that the signatures to this paper will be
considered as appended to a call of similar import
for public meeting, with designation of time and
place, SO that it will not be necessary to repeat
the same signatures when the regular call is
issued.
We understand that large number of sigma
lures to similar paper have been received at the
offices of the New Y DIRK cypress and Day Book.

The Duke of Cambridge, COMMANDMENT Chief OF
the British Army has just issued order which i:
4 virtually an abolition of the punishment of fog
ging, heretofore much practsed in the service
The soldiers entering the service are to be c as
sifed in two classes, in the first of which they will
not be liable to corporal punishment except for ag
| grayated mutinOus conduct in time of war. They
will continue in the first class, unless they COMM
= certain crimes, for which they will be degraded tc
, the second class, in which they may be subjected
to corporal punishment. UNINTERRUPTED GOOD cor
duct for year will transfer a soldier for the seconC
time to the first class. The plan is ingenious, ant
/ seems likely to accomplish its purpose and put al
= end to fogging, except for aggravated offence
committed by incorrigible men.
