PARIS, Jan. THE following is the text
of the remarks made by Gen. Billot at the
grave of Gambetta:
"On this day of public mourning, the
army, deeply afflicted, unites in the senti-
ment of admiration, respect and profound
regret for Gambetta, who, amidst our
greatest disasters, did not despair of the
safety of the country, and was the soul of
the national defense, and for Gen. Chanzy,
who was its most glorious soIdier''
The Royalist papers describe the proceed
ings of the funeral as theatrical and insin-
cere. The extreme radical press declare
the people were absent from the funeral.
Republican journals unanimously testify
to the grave, calm and patriotic demeanor
of the populace during the funeral. They
express the hope that the events of the
past week will produce concord among Re-
publicans, especially in the chambers, and
that the sentiments of unity uttered in the
funeral orations will last longer than the
flowers strewn on Gambetta's tomb.

PARIS, Jan. 7.-Pere Hyacinthe, preach
ing at the Galican chapel to-day, said the
funeral of Gambetta was not only national,
but religious in its character, despite the
absence of religious rites. It is important
that the soul of the great patriot whom we
deplore, to which homage is paid, to so &C
knowledge. 1 pray our German brethren
may become inspired, and that they will so
act as to cause the nations of the north to
become reconciled to those of the south.
Pore Hyacinthe then compared the advan-
tages of constitutional monarchy with
those of wise republic such as that of
Washington.
