Indianapolis Indiana Journal (Newspaper) - December 11, 1830, Indianapolis, Indiana \ ashes of Napoleon. The following took place in the French chamber of deputies on ii 4th of october last on the proposition for the re to Val of the remains of Nav Oleon from is. Iclena to the place de vend me Gen. Lemarque Rose and said gentle men As a Soldier of Austerlitz a and Wagram ii have listened with deep emotion to the report just made to a magistrate who can feel and appreciate True glory. K i were in Camp surrounded by my companions in Arras i would exclaim without hesitation Quot let us hasten to claim the remains of him who so Long led us on to Victory a victim to treason he sunk amongst us a victim to his own Confidence Istead of the Asylum he sought among foreigner he found a in son and a grave. If we have been unable to tear him from the Rock to which he was unchained by the terror of his enemies let us not at All a vents leave his ashes in Butas a legislator i do not feel myself at Liberty to give Way to the emotions of Quot my heart without consideration and suffer myself to be carried away by my recollections of past glory. Rational policy ought to be our guide and die general interest our Only end and aim. Let us then consider whether in our present position the measure proposed tends to the establishment of Public Security and whether it May not involve it in some danger. Every thing that relates to Napoleon is of serious import his name is a Power in itself his memory a worship a even death cannot Cool his ashes but a Short time ago if brought Back to the soil of France Jiey would have Sut bed to destroy the dynasty imposed upon us by foreigners. Now All is changed the right divine and right of the sword have equal Disapio eared before the rights of the it to Plch the electoral Lini has Bro Jen into pieces the holy Ampula and by the same Shock destroyed ii pres Sioris less ancient. Raised to the throne not a by a body of soldiers but by the United Voic e of the whole nation a new dynasty reigns Over us planted but yesterday at the Call of Liberty it has already spread deep and iii perishable roots. Founding its legitimacy upon our rights to cannot be attacked without disputing that which we Are All ready to defend Vii our lives. We May therefore claim the ashes of Napoleon Bonaparte and accomplish his death bed request. Let Paris like a new Athens or a new Siceron receive the ashes of a new theseus or a new Arata a escorted by his old companions in arms let him be brought Back in his coffin who so often returned amongst us in a tri Quot Imphal car amidst the acclamations of All France but let us at the same time remember Well that it is the great Captain whom Europe Asia and Africa beheld covering our Standard with immortal glory we Are thus honouring and not the Monarch who while seizing the sceptre of Charlemagne and the Crown of Didier did not sufficiently feel that Liberty is the most precious of our rights As being the most indispensable of our it possessions. I therefore vote for referring the petition to the minister of the Interior. M., de Lameth opposed the proposition of the general. He declared that he had no wish to detract from the glory of the great Captain of modern times but this Captain Lead enslaved the nation a he had violated the charter Here a Yoice. Exclaimed the a and every one of the National rights he was the cause of the invasion of France he sacrificed every thing to maintain his Imperial Crown he even committed the ridiculous excess of marrying himself to a Royal Princess Quot Napoleon Quot continued the honorable Deputy Quot is dead let his Aslies test in peace for i am apprehensive that if they should be at this period brought into France they might give birth to fresh trouble. I therefore move the order of he to and ave have not yet been Able to Send them so Nuch As they Call for but As the Welland canal is now through to Lake Ontario we Are in Hopes to get on and Forward to them next season As much As they May Herald.
