POETRY.
For the Democrat.
To Miss .
I love thee yet, and dearer far,
Art thou to mo, than gems or gold;
Oh let me look upon thco now,
For my poor heart is sad and cold.
How could you treat tho heart with scorn
That fondly lov'd thee thee alone,
And when I sought to know the causa
Why speak in such unkindly tono.
But it is past, the dream is o'er,
And I have wak'd to feel tho pain,
Of hopes long cherish'd blighted now;
And hope I ne'er may dream again.
Yet when I gaze, as I have gaz'd,
Upon thy calm and placid blow,
The thoughts and feelings of the past,
Bow down my weary spirit now.
Oh I had visions once as bright
As those which angles only knov,
So puro so sweat so full of hope,
Which made my heart a heaven below.
But now alas ! that heart so blcss'd
With joyful dreams of love and light,
Is chang'd into a dreary waste,
And vanishe'd are those visiona bright.
But think not though them's nonobut tlioe,
Can givo my wounded spirit peace
That I will kneel to you again
For all thou hast of earthly bliss,
No, sooner than I'd be that thing,
To ask thee for thy love again,
I'll lay rno down in misery,
Aud be, tho wrotched one I am

But, in its utircsomblo form,

With charms still more divine,

And Jost tkomsolvos in thine.

SEVEN DAYS LATER FROM ENG
LAND.
By the packet ship Oxford, Rathbone.we
have received scvon days ialer intelligence
from England.
Tho principal piece of news is the splen
did pageant in Parris called tho Funeral of
Napoleon. All tho English papers are
filled with the particulars.
Tho weather has bsen very cold in Eng
land, with much snow.
Bonatarti;. Napoleon landed at St.
Helena Oct. 15, 1815; his body was carri
ed thence Oct. 15, 1810.
The weather has been intensoly cold in
Paris. This prevented a row when the
Napoleon ceremony look place.
INTERMENT OF NAPOLEON'S RE
MAINS IN PARIS.
The great pageant of interring the remains
f Napoleon in tho Invalidcs took place on
Tuesday, 15th December. The whole line
f the procession from tho banks of tho
So'nio to the Hotel dos Iuvalides was adorn
ed on bolh sids3 with military trophies, and
a tnoro magnificent pageant, all the accounts
agree in saying, has never been witnessed
even in rans. from tour in tlio morning
undeterred by tho coldest day that has been
experienced during the present winter in
France, thousands proceeded to the several
advantageous positions which different lo
catities presented for tho viewing of th
procession.
At nir.o o'clock tho first gun was fired, on
the banks of the Seine, at Courbcvoic
where a park of artillery was stationed
This became tho signal for the commenco
ment of the proceedings of the day. From
the temple, erected on the left bank of th
rivef, the Abbs Coquereau and a uuraerou
clergy, in full canonicals, then issued an
proceeded towards the steamer La Dorad
wlucli had been brought close up to a woo
den esplanade, forming c commnnicatio
between the shore and its deck. His Royal
Highness tho Prince do Joinvillo met them
as they approached between two lines of
troops and, after tho exchange of salutations
turned towards tho vessel Iiued by the sail
ors from La Belle Poule, a body of whom
proceeded to raise the coffin, and transpor
led it to the temple, the priests going before
chaunting, according to tho usage of the
Catholic church. Ths remains of the Em
peror were deposited there for two hours
the religious rites which were thero per
formed, having lasted thus long. Tho im
menso concourse oi people who were as
semblsd at the spot, viewed this portion of
the proceedings in solemn silence, the roar
of artillery alono sounding through the at
mospherc.
Wo subjoin an account of tho procession
at its principal stages.
ESM.ANADB OF THE INVALIDE3.
At an early hour, tho immense amph
theatres erected on each siue ol the avenue
leading from tho quay to tho principal en
trance of the Hotel des invilides, began to
receive those whom fortune had favored
with tickets, and although the number of
tickets delivered amounted to 30,009, there
was amplo accommodation for at least 10
000 mere. In spito of tho piercing cold
which provailed,and thelikelihood of snow
which felt more than once: though but
slightly, during the day, all those provide
with tickets wero present at their post
some even as early as eight A. M. althoug
the procession was not expected, even by
the most sanguine, to reach tho Hotel des
Invalidcs before two P. M. so great was
the desiro to obtain a glance, not of the re
mains, but the car which contained the re
mains of him who had raised tho military
glory of Franco to such a hcight,and whose
tyranny had been expiated by a wretched
death in a foreign land, severed alike from
his country and his family, and atlende
but by a lew lailhliil loiiowers.who adherici
to their master, oven in his fallen fortunes
i .
Honor to their names ! une or these gal
lant servants General iJortrand, was present
K
nd was one of the principal attractions of
the day. Another was expecfed to havo
been there, General Montholon. His no-
blo letter, addressed a few days since to the
French Government, supplicating tho per-1
mission to pay anew tho last sad duties to
that master whoso exile he had shared,
hould, according to many, havo procured
im that painlul pleasure, even had his at-
tendanco at the ceremony entailed tho ne
cessity of a pardon. This, however, was
not tho opinion of tho government, for no
General Montholon was perceived amid the
plendid throng of dignitaries who prece
ded the temains of Ncpoleon to their last
homo.
Seveial hours elapsed before the funeral
car mado its appearance, and it was painful
to remark how little dignity was preserved
in tho interim.
At length, howover, the funeral car was
perceived on the other side of the river, and
some order was restored;thc troops that had
piled their arms hastened to snatch up their
muskets ana to form their ranks.
Previous to this a large bird of prey was
obser"ed hovering over tho Esplanade, and
this, by some, was immediately converted
into an eagle. Had this occurred when
Rome was in her infancy, it would doubt
less have been considered as an omen, or
that Jupiter had sent his ccrial messenger,
tho bearer of his thnndsrbolts, to welcomo
the departed hero previous to his translation
to Olympus. As it was, it exorcised a cor
tain efl'cct.
At a little beforo one, the head of tho pro
cession was seen coming slowly forward
and tho sight became gradually more and
more beautiful. Hero it is necessary to
give a short description of the ground lead
ing from tho quay to the principal entrance
of the Invalidcs. It consists' in a long
straight avenue, at the bottom of which
with its back to tho water, stood tho collos
sal statuo ot the emperor: tho avenco was
lined with tho statues of the principal raon
archs that Franco has produced, and that
Immortality has already claimed as her
own. These stood in the following order;

It certainly was a noble idea to make Na
poleon pass through this long line of he
roes and kings, who seemed as it were, to
welcomo the mighty doad the equal of the
highest in rank; tho superior of the most
celebrated in renown, to the illustrious asy
lum chosen for his mortal remains.
At length the car was seen tho mighty
car, drawn by 15 black horses, covered
with gold housings tho car brilliant beyond
compare, and yet neither deficient in taste
void of mournful semblance. And hero
perhaps was the most beautiful sight of the
day. Tho central road filled with troops,
and the procession advancing between the
collossal statues, just described separated
from ono another by arms omitting a lurid
light, while the background was filled on
either side by ths multitude, shut up in the
immense amphitheatres prorided for the oc
casion, and by numerous masts, from which
tri-colorod streamers wero gracefully float
ing in the air, formed a sight replete with
such beauty and interest, that "those who
saw can surely ne'er forget."
As tho car passed, each head was uncov
ered; and although the shouts of ' Vive Na
poleon ! Vivo l'Empcreur 1' joined in the
cries of ' Vivo le Roi 1 Vive Prince de Join
villo !' wero few and far betwen, a certain
degree of emotion prevailed, and many an
oye was suffused with tears.
Somo sensation was excited by a body
of non-commissioned officers on horseback,
87 in number, bearing flags with the names
ol the 87 departments of franco, including
Algeria. These flags wero surmounted
by a gold eagle with out-stretched wing,
and gave to tho passing scene tho air of
Roman triumph. Tho foremost of this
body was tho officer bearing the flag, rep-
esenting Corsica, tho birth-placo of Napo-
enn.
Tho car was immediately preceded by the
Prince of Joinvillo, on horseback, in the
uniform of captain of the navy, attended
by his staff, and accompanied on each side
by 200 of the sailors of tho Belle Poule,
tho frigate despatched by the French Gov
ernment to St. Helena, to bring home the
remains of the Emperor.
It was half-past two when a salute of
twenty-one guns announced that tho funer
al car had reached the gate of tho Invalids;
tho sailors of the Belle Poule instantly com
menced their preparations to descend tho
body from the car. A great stiugglo was
here made to obtain aglympse of the coffin
as it was borno by thirty-six sailors into the
Cour Roy ale of the iuvalides, where tho
Archbishop of Paris, attended by all his
clergy was waiting to receive it.
THE CHURCn OF THE INVALIDCS.
The interior of the chiircx was rilled at
an early hour by the persons who came in
carriages, and were allowed to go in by th
southern entrance.
These who wont on foot, and entered by
the gate-way of the esplanade, found near
ly all tho seats occupied when they got in.
At two o'clock tho arrival of numerous
genorals with their aides-de-camp, und the
bustlo of tho orderly officers, announce
that iho royal cortege from the Tuileris was
at hand, and a salute of 21 guns ushered
in tuo arrival ni. tlio Knia- J.liA ilrnmia.
the nave beat a royal salute, and the arch
bishop, preceded by the clergy, advanced
towards tho end of the nave, as if to receive
his Majesty; but theie was somo mistake
in this part of tho coremony, for the pro
cession, beforo it reached tho groat door,
was stopped, and had to return.
Tho king and the royal family did not
come up tho navo, but went at onco to the
dome. His Majesty, wearing the unifoim
of tho national guard, took his seat on the
throne prepared for him, to tho right of the
altar. Near the king wore tho princes and
his majesty's aides-de-camp. On the left
of the altar was the archbishop of Paris,
with tho bishops assisting tho Cures-dos-Invalidcs,
and tho clergy. In an enclosed
near the king were the queen, the princes
ses, and the ladies in attendance. Under
the dome, around the catafalque, the min
isters and marshalls were stationed. In tho
left branch of tho transept were tho mem
bers of the Chamber of tho Deputies, and
on the right wero tho peers and members
of the Council of State. In two enclosed
seats wero tho judges and officers of the
Court3 of the Cassation and accounts.
Next to these on the right, wero tho mem
bers of the Cour Royalo, the Council Gen
eral of tho Seine, and Municipal Council of
Paris, having at their head the prefect of
police, tho staff officers of tho national
guard, and tho army, and the Council of
Admiralty. On tho left were tho members
of the University, the institute, and other
learned bodies, and tlio tribunals of First
Instance and Commerce, the staff of the
Hotel dos Iuvalides, prefects and mayors of
departments, &c.
A little before three, two guns, in quick
succession, and then 10 others, announced
tho arrival of tho imperial coffin at the en
trance of the Hotel. Tho archbishop im
mediately went with his clergy to receive
it, and to sprinkle it with holy water; At
three precisely, tho orchestra began a sol
emn march and the clergy re-ontered the
nave chanting, and moving slowly towards
the dome. At this moment tho excitement
was intenso the music died away; there
was a dead silence throughout the church,
and immediately thero was seen the impe
rial coffin covered with its velvet and em
broidered pall, on which was tho imperial
crown veiled in crape, borne on the should
ers of the sailors, with the young princo
behind, tho pallbearers at tho angles, and a
crowd of officers following, which moved
up the church at a very rapid rate.
The effect of this at its first coming into
tho nave, whon every ono testified their ro-
pect by a piofound stillness, and all the
troops presented arms, was ono of the most
imposing parts of tho ceremony. Before
tho coffin had however, reached tho entrance
of the com;, tho solemn march was again
renewed, und at length burst out into a glo
rious strain of triumph. Nothing could bo
finer.
Th& Princo do Joinvillo then presented
tho body to tho King, saying ' Sire, I pre
sent to you tho body of tho Emperor Na
poleon.'
The King replied, raising his voice, I
roccivo it in the name of France.'
General Athalin carried the sword of tho
Emperor upon a cushion, and gavo it to
Marshal Soult, who presented it to tho
king,
His Majesty then addressed General Ber-
trand, and said "General, I charge you to
place this glorious sword of the Emperor
upon his coffin." This tho general thea
did.
The musical part of tho ceremony was
as efficient as the united talents of the great
performers who look part in it could raako
it to be. The solemn march played by tho
orchestra alone, on the teturn of the clergy,
and the entrance of the body, was magnifi
cent. After this, the first voice heard was
that of Grisi herself and it filled with its
compass tho echoes of the immense edifice.'
Lablache's deop notes were heard to pecu
liar advantage.
The service lastod altogether about an
hour, but on its termination a great number
of the persons who had been in the aisles
WOveaTOwmnne-nomenir-SetrrntrT'ara;
que and the splendid decorations of that
pari of the edifice; and though tho last offi
ces oi ;nc cnurcn were onucd oy lour o -clock,
it was after fivo beforo the edifice
was finally cleared. It is calculated that
there wero 7000 persons in the interior of
the church on this occasion. Tho Infanta
and Infanta of Spain, with their family, wero
present.
Tho number of national guaids of Paris
and the banlieuo under arms yesterday, is
estimated at about GO, 000; the divisions of
infantry and cavalry, the troops of engin
eers and artillery, tho non commissioned
officers, veterans, gondarmcric, municipal
guard, sapcurs, Sec. presented an offeclivo
force of at least 20,000.
Mchemtt Ali. Tho definitive offer of
submission on the part of Mehemct Ali has
been confirmed. The terms of a convention
wero agreed upon and signed at Alexandria,
on the 27th of November, by which tho
Pacha undertakes immediately to ovacuato
Syria, and to restore tho Ottoman fleet, being
guaranteed, in return, tho hereditary gov
ernment ofEgypt.

Ono of our exchange papers gives tho
following account of the doings of ono of
our fair country-women of the west. Sho

from her residence, about G o'clock in tho
night travelled home mado that night
