sentiments OF anger and resentment at the

the great qualities concealed by the modesty
of President Carnor, declaring that never D.

cane yet it might have been in the power
of a cowardly murderer to throw US into d
state Of desolatioh, and even to disconcert us.
But outrages will not deter France from pur-
suing her work of progress. Parliament will
continue the necessary reforms at the same
time that she will have energy for repression,
thus rejecting the will of the nation, which
repudiates so-called internationalism, and de-
sires concord and peace" NJ. de Manly cons
cluded by expressing the hope that the
memory of Carnot would be indelibly Ell.
graved on the hearts of all Frenchmen.

Garnet had taken part, in his usual kind and
amialle manner, in the centenary festival Of
the illustrious school and said that they would
always regard him as a comrade who lad re-
fectpd the utmost honour upon It.
M. Dunny, by the way, spoke as the Pre-
mier of Tomorrow as well as Of to-day, as he
is to remain in office with all his old ell
leagues.
The ceremony over the coffin was once
more borne to the portico, where it lay cover
ed with a t|Iicolour flag While the members of
the family, the President Of the Republic, the
ambassadors, the ministers, and all who had
listened to the speeches, gathered on the steps
around and below. Then began the march
past of the troops, headed.by General Saus-
sier and his staff, and comprising battalions
Of engineers, rifles, and marines and of in
fantly Of the line several batteries of ar
tillery, and several squadrons of 0uirassiers.
At the conclusion of the march past; which
everyone remained to see, the President Of
the Republic took his departure. There was
a general feeling of satisfaction that every
thing had passed off without the slightest
hitch. Nj. Casimir- Perier had taken a thrh
on the Quays and the boulevards yesterday
afternoon, walking with two officers Of his
Military Household, and had met with an
enthusiastic ovation.
The mortal remains OF the late President OF
the Republic were deposited in the crypt OF
the Pantheon this evening, in thu presence Of
the family and a few other mourners.
Madame. Carnot did not leave the Elys6s
oil day. Her daughter, Madame Cunisset-
Cannot, remained by her side, and she was
also attended by the wives Of the officers of
the military household and Madame Gourlct,
wife Of the Inspector Of national palaces.
At noon, the time fixed for the arrival of
the body at Notre Dame, q Requiem Mass
WAS celebrated in the Chapel of the Elysee,
which was hung with black. Madame Carnot
and her daughter were present at the service,
and, as was only to be expected under the
circumstances, brok, down completely. Mass
was said ny Able J%ossinet, Master of Cere.
monies at the Madeleine. The chapel in
which the service took place is that used by
the President of the Republic for the cere-
mony of comforting the biretta ON newly
appointed cardinals.
M. Casimir-P erirr was loudly chcered as he
returned to the Quai dOrSay with an escort
Of cuirassiers. An excellent impression has
been created by the news that the German
Emperor has pal doned Nj. DegOuy and M.
