Park, March "21. — Yesterday 

 took place the exhimiation of the 

 remains of the Duke D'Enghien, 

 from the fosse on the south side 

 of the castle of Vincennes. An 

 authentic tradition indicated the 

 spot where his executioners had 

 thro\vn his body ; but, for greater 

 regularity, an express investiga- 

 tion took place on Monday last, 

 conducted by the Counsellor of 

 State Laporte Lalanc. An artil- 

 lerist and a peasant of the village 

 of Vincennes gave the most cor- 

 rect information. The peasant 

 whcjse name is Grison, aged 80, 

 had himself dug the grave ; it 

 was ascertained from him that 

 the grave was dug two hours after 



the arrival of the Prince, and by 

 order of Harel, who then coni- 

 maiuled the castle of \'incenncs. 

 Tlie searches weie made in pre- 

 sence of a king's commissioner, 

 and several other persons, among 

 whom we remarked the Count de 

 Reuilly, Peer of France, M. de 

 Betkisy, of the Chamber of De- 

 puties, "tire-Yldanie de \'asse, the 

 Chevalier de C(mty, the Chevalier 

 Jaques, the faithful friend and 

 companion of the illnstrious vic- 

 tim, the Marquis de Piiyvert, now 

 governor of Vincennes, who had 

 spent ten years of his life sliut up 

 in it. Count Arniand de Beau- 

 mont, commandant, and many 

 otheis, almost all of whom had 

 been sufferers from Buonajtarte's 

 tyranny. Several siugeons were 

 present to ascertain the bone.s 

 that miglit be thrown up. The 

 first object « hich caught attention 

 was a boot in tolej'able i)reserva- 

 tion, in which were found the 

 bones of the leg and foot ; the 

 skull v/as then found ; the face 

 was downwards, one leg had re- 

 mained in an almost vertical po- 

 sition, and the arms were bent 

 towards the back, a rather large 

 stone appeared to have been de- 

 signedly thrown upon the head, 

 the bones of which were frac- 

 tured. Some of the hair was still 

 in preservation: The various frag- 

 ments of the body thus collected 

 were placed in a sheet. There 

 were also found some German 

 ducats ; a leathern purse, in 

 which there were a louis and 

 some pieces of silver, a ring, and 

 gold chain which the prince wa= 

 in the habit of wearing round his 

 neck. The Chevalier Jaques had 

 stated previously that these arti- 

 cles would be found, unless the
