which took place on the 18th, were simple, but
the event itself proved grand popular spec
tacle. There were, it is estimated, not less
than 10O,O 900 persons in the procession and
present at the grave. From the Rue de Marche,
Ncullly, where the procession was formed, to
the grave, the crowd was tumultuous, and, In
spite of efforts to the contrary, the most in
tense anti-imperial enthusiasm prevailed.
AT TIE GRAVE.
The cortege at about o'clock reached the
street which leads from the avenue to the
cemetery. This thoroughfare being extremely
narrow and already crowded, the relatives and
intimate friends Of the deceased alone accom-
panied the body to the grave, where, there
being no religious service, the ceremony last
ed but short time. Addresses were pro-
nounced over the grave by NM. Rochefort,
Delesluze, DeFouvielle, Flourens and Louis
Nolr.
The following are the speeches:
SPEECH OF URIC DE FoUv1ELLE.
Citi.ens-In the presence of this tomb, in the
presence of you all, assert that Victor Noir
has been cowardy assassinated by Pierre Ma
poleon.
Without reason, without motive, without
provocation, he was killed in cold blood before
my eyes.
But we shall look for revenge.
II we cannot obtain Imperial Justice, we shall
have recourse to the justice of the people.
Victor Noir, my friend. my brother, thou
hast watered with thy blood the dwelling OF
prince for the holy cause of liberty. Victor
Noir, will avenge thee Will avenge thee
I will avenge thee
