^ whose veracity we think we may depend, J that another most cowardly attack has been committed on the Disputed Territo- < ^ rv? upon three American gentlemen by ; ' some fellows calling themselves* mounted ! patroles.

When the coffin had been t'ms removed, the Commissioners stepped into tli chamber, in which had rested this coffin for upward* of 19 1,-7 years, whicli chamber was as perfect .and as dry as it was on the I) h Vlay, 18J1 Tjic outside coffin (mahogany] was *ep rated asunder, next to which was one of lead in tlr i.?.-i_?. r,.n^urt'^rinn Ari*!inir(>im<ntk j .IJ'JJIirB. fiat*, ui |fiV<v. f.

Tins sarcophagus scut from .France for that purpose. This done,- the Governor with his Staff made their appearance, to w itness the opening of the j innermost coffin. The upper surface of the leaden coffin was then carefully removed, when another mahogany one was discovered in a most excellent state. The lid of the inner one, immediately next tile remains of Napoleon, made of sheet tin,supcrficiully corroded, was next lifted. Then . appeared a white satin enveloping the body, which satin was by the surgeon himself removed, and the mortal remains of the Great Deceased were exposed to view, to several who knew him not. The features of the Corsican Lieutenant had to aH appearance suffered but very little. ( for they were readily recognized. General Gonrgaud on beholding them exclaimed "Good ! very good! !" And the several crticles, pictures. &c., &c., which had been placed around him within thecoflin, appeared as thev were on the day of interment. Napoleon's hands were in the same position and place in which his faithful Bertrand had j nearly twenty years before placed them, n and looked in a higlt state oi preservation. 11 Is order, his uniform, his coeked hal. which has ever been identified with his person, were but very little injured by the hand of time, and the whole wore the air I of very recent deposit; hut part of the | satin appeared to have insinuated itself r j?into the skin of the face. Two minutes j only elapsed lor this exposure, which was I j chiefly to a (Ford the .Surgeon time to use j certain preventives to further decomposii tion. The tin coflin was then closed and i soldered, the mahogany one secured, and the leaden one soldered. The other leadon one with and belonging to thesarcophaeus sent froin France, was likewise sol! der'd and sealed, when the sarcophagus | was locked, and the key was then liandI cd to Comte de Chabot, the French Comj nhssioner, by Captain Alexander, the | Knglish Commissioner. This sarcopha! gus after some formalities of expression between the Commissioners, was then placed on the hearse and covered with the pall (a very rich one made of crimson velvet) and between and 4 'oclock the pro cession moved from Hie loino. id Nkw York, January 0. v The Hoi John Holmes, formerly St'later in con^ic > from M i le It s }? b lised, in the Eastern papers a Review of the Report of Messrs.
