The House will make amendmen S, and a

bot,levards to the fune.a al Ct Victor Noir.
There were many ladies in carriages. thai
were dressed in MORNING, who joined in
the procession. Henri Re; chefolt is pres
ence al the funeral caused great demonstra.
tions, and frequent shouts of "ViVe la
Republic" occurred at the cemetery.
While Rochefort was coming down the
hamps d'Elys6s, with a great crowd,
singing the MarseilIaise, a regiment OF
troops appeared and dispersed the crowd.
Rochefort, claiming the privileges of a
deputy, was allowed to pass to the Cham.
beers, where he arrived pale and much ex
cited.
The crowd was finally dispersed, with
out resisting the police or the troops.
1t is thought that some arrests were
made.
The police and magistrates were stoned
to-day bv the mob. The most intense ex-
citement exists, but no serious trouble is
apprehended. There are 100000 soldiers
quartered today i'll Paris, and the police
force has been largely increased.
The Marseillaise appeared as usual today ;
and its tone is very violent. Rochefort's
leader says the cry of yesterday was for
justice, to morrow the cry may come for
vengeance.
