From motives of respect to the feelings of the relatives of the deceased it was decided that the exhumation of the Dody should be conducted quietly and without cere- many. So carefully was this design carried out that the time was known to but 2 few whom it was desirable to have present. The hour of five A. M. was fixed upon as least likely to attract attention, and at that time yesterday taorning deputations from the Common Council Commit. teo, the Committee of Virginians, thesurviving relatives of the deceased, and several others, arrived at the Cemetery. Tho undertaker had prepared the vault for the removal, and shortly after five the hearse arrived, whkh = new coflin, which was to conta the old one, and the little company gathered about the spot where for twenty coven years the boty of one of our most illus- trious Presidents hed Ieid in almost total neglect. The Tittle wren bouse, which hag so long served as almost the only thing to mark the spot, still stood there, ana the litle virds fluttered avout at being thus unwontedly dis. tarbed. The coffin of the ex President, which was of ma- bogany, covering an inner cago of lead, was found to be af slightly decayed, though the polish of the silver ~ventings and the brightness of the mahogany were of course tarnished, The following inscription, however, cou'd be plainly read on the silver piate:— OM POLE LE DICO DOOODO DE DIID ODIO TE DO2OL0 CORDED LC OE Led 3 JAMES MONROE, 3 H VIRGINIA. 3 oF 4, Died July — Denne menecres trace neenweneonee bOOO EE ‘The marble slab, whicb, balf embedded in the grass bast before covered the vault, bore the following inserip en iia JAWES MONROE, ROBERE TILLOTSON. ; Vavur No. 147. receoerere @ Bhor, undistinguished by mocament or inecrimtion, had he anthor of the Monroe doctrine slept for over s {es cenvary, Sontag nach ee abe on & raised piat form prepared to rece've it, anid le't in charge of two policemen anti] the public ceremonicr could take piace.

THE SCENB IN THE PARK. As at the other points of interest, the crowd commenced early to gather in and near the Park, and it was with no Little difficulty that at the appropriate time Capt.

As usual, unmindfal of the injunc- tion ‘Keep off the grass,” the rh hace cary covered with busy feet; the trees fairly groaned with the weight of adventurous men and boys, while the City Hall presented knots of heads at every window, and crowds on ‘tbe balcony, roof and stcops, the latter of whom seemed often to threaten the sa'ety of Mayor Wood’s chain, which Fept them from entering the open space leading Into the After bours o* impatient waiting, the announcement ‘wae at last made, “they are coming,” and soon the sound of rovffied music, and the measured clashing of military 6- coutrements denoted that such was the fact. It was now after half past five, and it wa neariy six before the head of the bad rosrched round the lower end of the Park snd entered the east gate. The Seventy: tiret reci- ment entered first, twelve abreast and two deep, by com. panies, and wheellng right into line, facing the City Hat! en marching by the rizht about face, they took upa position facing the City Hall on the opposite side of equere, with a troop of cavalry on their tight.

Next followed }, Surrounded by the Washington Greys leading their horses; the bearse stopping immediately in frentof the entrance. The car- riages contaiu'ng tbe pall bearore and the Virginians then drove up, and the two bodies alighting, entered the hall and formed in open order in the parsage leading to the Governor’s room, to receive the body. Here, from some ‘unaccountable delay, they were kept waiting for some time, until fins)ly the coffin was taken from tho hearse ‘and carried in‘o tho Hall, the pall bearers marching at its side, preceding and behind it to the Governor’s room. Here it wes placed on stoo!s-provided for the purpose, aud the pall bearers gathered in asemi circle around it, close: pressed by the crowd, which had been previously admi ted to the room. Here they stood for some timo, no cne seeming toknow what to do next, when, after consnitation with Alderman Adams, Mayor Tiemann ‘as follows :— “By the arrangement of the committee the remains will now be taken charge of by the Guard of Honor, As the; are marobirg in, the company present will be dismissed.” The pall bearers then departed, and the crowd about the coffin now became so great, and the curiosity to Bee it £0 intense, that 1@ room had to be cleared to give the guard a chance to move. The rest of the militar; were dismissed about a quarter past seven. Company A of the Eighth regiment, Capt Burger, was detailed to stand guard over the body during the night, and several vacancies were proraptly filled by volunteers from other companies in the regiment. There ware to be ten men on joard for two hours, when they wouid be relieved for four ‘ours, and so op through the night.

CAPTAIN EBNRI DE RIVIERE, OF THE FRENCH ZOUAVES—1I8 BFFORTS TO MARRY Mi88 BLOUNT OF MOBILE—HIS FIRST WIFE SAID TO BE LIVING IN PHILADELPHIA. ol. F. 8, Blount, whoso unfortunate domestic difficul- ties with Captain Henri de Riviere have been detailed at some length in the New Orleans papers, aud in our Ha- ‘vapa correspondence, arrived im this city with his wife ‘and daughter on Monday last He supposed that de Ri viere had given up the pursuit of his daughter, but evens twappired yesterday which make this doubtful, aud which have alarmed Mr. Blount and his friends. It sooms that on bis srrival in this city Col. Blount and family put up at tho St. Nicholas Hotel, Deeming the hotel too public, after the unfortunate notoriety he and his family had acquired, be accepted the invitation of « friend, Dr. DeWees, of No. 791 Broadway, to atop at hie house while he remained im town. Subsequently Oolonel Blount heard that de Riviere had arrived in town from Havana by way of Charleston, and for fear of accidents ho cautioned Dr. De Wees and family to see that his wife and daughter did not leave the house un- attended. On Thursday last an Italian called at the house and had an interview with Mrs. Blount and dabghter. What transpired is not known; but yesterday morning, after breakfast, the two ladies suddenly disappeared, and up to a late bour last night nothing had been heard of them. ‘They leftftho houee in their morning dresses, with every mark of baste and concealment, and apparently with a desire to avoid notice. On Colonel Blount’s return home soon after, he immo- diately instituted measures to find out the whereabouts of ‘Mrs. Blount and his daughter, but had not succeeded in doing so at a late hour in the evening. Application was made at the police headquarters and to Ip- spector Dilks, but no trace of the fugitives a8 discoverable. In our advertising columns « reward is offered to any person who cau give Col. Blount any infor- mation as to where the ladies are. The previous history of this domestic difficulty presents some singulsr features and may as well be recounted here, as it may serve to throw some light op the disap. pearance of Mre. Blount and daughter yesterday. Captain Henri de Riviere was said to be an officer in the French army and served during the Crimean war. From some cause Dot known he left the service of the French Emperor and came to New York, where he delivered lec. tures describing ‘he rcenes he bad parsed turough at Sebastopol. Althongh he exeited some interest nére, as be wee reputed to be oue of the famous Zougye corps, his lectures were not very succesaful, and hd want to other cities, where be had better . He finally reached Mobile, and there became &cquainted with the family of Col, Blount, a weil known lawyer of that place, and a gentleman of great wesith and lity. The intimacy of de Riviere with his family was not encour- aged by Col. Blount, for ressons best known to bimself. ee se a “< ite & duel — jace between de K.viere Captain ry, at wi the former was wounded !n the hip and ia the face. Pre- vious to this due!

Tho labor of depicting the condition of Mexico at this time is most difflcalt. If we were in a bad condition on the departure of the last mail, we bave slidden ‘own to © point more than a hundred degrees worse. The action of the government cannot be described as anything but ' madnees, to such a degree of reckleesness has it gone. In my last letter to the Huratp J alluded to the forced loan which had been levied by decree of the government and gave !t as my opinion that the government would sce the error of ita false step and retract the decree. This supposition was founded upon the general disgust of the People with the impost, the hostility of the British and American Minirters, who claimed that foreigners could not be forced to pay it unless in violation of treaty stipu- lations, and, finally, the determination of the great bulk Of business people to refuse payment and allow them- selves to be submitted to force. But my supposition was wrong. The worst bas come to very near the worst. The government, instead of Haten- ‘og to reason or rhyme, has only asted for tte own preeent crying wants, To have reoonaidered, and noted the timely, Wise part, would not have relieved Present urgent crick for money; and so the government bas gone ahead and enforced its decroe over the request of ‘he Rritleb Minister, and treated with contempt the solemn protest of the Mivister of the United States. Not only have they embargoed and seized with armed foree the goods of foreigners, but bave actually ordered fram the country such foreigners as refueed the payment. Day be- fore yesterday the goverpment issued rome eight or tenor- dere to foreigners to les ve the country within three days and bave since furnished these foreigners with paesports, The time for their departure arrives to-morrow, and it remains to be seen whether the government will actually insist upon compliance with the orders, For my own part I think tt is very probable the Unitet Staten will ere long be the asylum for these unfortunate merchonts. Amongst the exiles (to be) are two Americans who have acted throughout from and with the advice of Mr. Forsyth, Usited States Minister Plenipotenviary and Envoy Extraordwary wear the government of Mexico, who bas not only advised but ‘urged resistance to the payment of the coatributions or lovns troposed by ibe decrees of the 15th of May. By last mail [enclosed to you bis protest, wbich was @ document quite strovg evough in ieelf to warrant the action taken by American citizens; butover apd above bis solemn protest Mr. Foreyth has counrelied epporition. Of course, ib Ub case, tbe goverument of the United States becomes Teepensible to the American citizens who are now about to to. be torn from thetr business and exyelled from the country. The responsibility no lo remains in diplo- matic bal A direct taunt has been made to Uncle Mem—pot a beg for the much talked-of protectorate, a hostile threes.
