procession had passed through the Rue de
Rivoh the head was nearing the cemetery,
which was reached at 1l:30, when Mr.Deves
spoke on behalf of the government, and
Mr.. Chatfour On behalf of the Alsace-
Lorraine societies in Paris.
Mr.. Deves, minister of justice, speaking
on behalf of the government, said he sa-
luted the remains of a great citizen. The
loss of such man caused
A NATIONAL GRIEF.
The fatherland mourned one who loved
and defended it passionately. The de-
ceased had loved France, and had faith in
her destinies, even when hope seemed to
be in defiance of fortune. His resolution
not to let her abdicate her place among
nations would be ever remembered. Apart
from his heroic defense, his political prin-
ciples, and profound veneration for the will
of the nation, commanded admiration. His
life was employed entirely for France and
the republic. Though he descended pre-
maturely to the grave, he left his country
free, the master of its destinies under re-
spected popular government. The repub-
lie at home is pacific, and the dignity of
France abroad is henceforth beyond attack.
The memory OF Gambetta remains in the
hearts of all patriots.
Mr.. Chaffour, on behalf of the Alsace-
Lorraine societies in Paris, said that Gam
BETA was the life and soul of the defense
at Bordeaux. He represented our distress
after our mutilation and remained the rep
resentative of
OUR INvINCIBLE HOPE.
He had truly declared that the inhabitants
of the lost provinces were doubly French
men. Generous workman, he died trust
ing in the future. His work remains
both that which he accomplished and that
which was the magnanimous ambition of
his life. Our tears for him are not the
sterile ones of despair. Our pain should
be only that of men who return to work
with fresh ardor. The great friend of Al
SAGE is dead, but France lives and will re-
spond to the appeals of her glorious des-
| tiny. Vive La France!
| THE POPULAR FEELING.
| Almost every member of the chamber
of deputies and senate viewed Gambetta's
coffin yesterday, and when the gates finally
closed against the public, some persons en-
deavored to force their way in. The wide
spread nature of the feeling excited BY the
death OF Gambesta may be judged from
the faos that the Royalisi Popular league
| postponed for week . grand banquet
which had been announced before his
death for tonight All the markets with

| All the ambassadors, including Prince Won
Hehsalohs, tho German representative,

The dsputation from Alsaes-Lsrraine met

aosisimod the remains Of the great tribune
and his adversaries holding aloof and
mainSaining silence, caused vague feeling
of uneasiness.
| n. Fslateuf said the honors paid to
Gambstta were not to the man only, but
were

| to the resistance to triumphant invasion.
They were a mark of gratitude to all who,
at Gambetta's call, had died for their
country.
| Bison, in his grafton, dwelt upon Gam
betta's efforts to promote republican un-
! ion and to save France. He concluded:
'Let not our grief be sterile at his bier,
around which are grouped his trends, men
of all parties, representatives of the army
and children of the provinces so dear to
US. We swear we will labor to accomplish
that union which was Gambetta's prayer.
| REST IN PEACE.
! After the speeches were over, the body
was carried into the cemetery, which was
closed to the public. The coffin was laid
in temporary resting place, and the pro-
cession dispersed. The passing in pro-
cession of the crowd around the coffin at
the entrance of the cemetery, ended at
! $50 o'clock. It is estimated 100000 per-
sons were present
The government decided this morning
to accept the responsibility for the speeches

| General Billot. All other speeches were of
an absolutely private character.
The newspaper Chat Noir, having ,utll-
lied the occasion to attack Germany, was
seized this morning.

[ The government has decided that General

| BERLIN, Jan. 6.-The morning papers,
commenting on the death of General
Chanzy, say France has lost her greatest

| LONDON, Jan. 6.-The Times says it is
stated that the emperor of Germany, being

decease of Gambetta, said "We have one

THE WOUND.
! Reinach Iutensate, a personal friend of
Gambetta, publishes detailed account of
the wound, intended to dispel the various
faIsities Gambetta, he states, was trying
a new revolver when the breech stuck fast,
owing to one of the cartridges not fitting
properly. Holding the pistol by the muz-
zle he endeavored to close the breech for
chilly, when the cartridge exploded. The
