THE TIMES
E James Mosroe. The following bio
graphical notice of our late President
Monroe, we tind in the Boston Adverti-
ROr:
He wasin the 73d vear of his age,
having been born in September, 1758, in
Westmoreland county, Va. He was de
scended from a Scotch tamily, & his an
cestors came to this country in 1652,
He was edncated at the college of Wil
liams and Mary. At the breaking out
of the war ot the revolution he joined the
army as a volunteer. He accompanied
the army in the retreat of Gen. Wash
ington through New Jersev, and in the
hattle of Trenton, in which as Lieuten
ant he was called to the command of the
company on the fall of the captain, he
wasseverely wounded, being shot through
the breast, and disabled for near a year,
After his recovery he was appointed aid
de camp to Maj. Gen. Lord Sterling.
He was subsequently with Lafayette in
the battle of Brandvwine, and alterwards
was raised to the rank of Colonel. Aft
ter the war he entered on the study and
practice ofthe law, He was subsequent
ly appointed by Gen, Washington Minis
ter Plenipotentiary to France, and was
subsequently recalled by him, He was
afterwards again appointed on a mission
to France by Mr, Jefferson, and was as
sociated with Chancellor Livingston in
negociating the treaty of Lonisiana, Un
der the administration oft Mr. Madison
he was appointed Secretary ol State, and
for a short period during the late war he
held the oflice of Secretary of war. e
suceceded Mr. Madison as President of
the United States on the 4th of March,
1817, which office he held for eight
years. e twice filled the office of gov
ernor of Virginia, and since his retire
ment from the Presidency, he was cho
sen a member and served in the capaci
ty of President of'a convention for amend
ing the constitution of that state, |
' During about a year past he has re
sided in the city of New York, with his
son in law, Mr. Gouverneur, at whose
house he died.
! Deatn or James Moskroe.—On the
reception of this melancholy intelligence,
at Providence, (says the Manufacturers’
Journal)the Town Council with a prompt
ness, which does them much credit, as
sembled at their council chamber, and a
dopted the following appropriate and
highly honorable resolution, in commem
oration of the public services of the de
parted patriot of the revolution, i
I Whereas this Board have received in
telligence of the death of JAMES
MONROE, a patriot of the revolution,
and a brave and intrepid defender of the
liberties of his country, the record of
whose deeds duoring her great struggle
for independence, torm a bright page in
that country’s history, who since that pe
riod, has worthily discharged the duties
of various responsible and important pub
lic offices; and was eventually raised, by
the gratitude and contidence of the A
merican people; to the highest station in
their gift, which he filled with much hon
or to himself and usefulaess to his fellow
citizens. f
~ Therefore, resolved, That the sextons
of all the Churches in this town be direc
ted to toll their several hells, this day,
from 6 . M. until 7 . M. and that Col.
Blanding of the Independent Artillery,
be requested to cause minute guns to be
fired during said time, and that it be re
commended to suspend the flags at the
different flag staves in town and on the
shipping in the harbor, half mast, from
12 o’clock at noon, until 7 I”. M. in to
ken of regret for the death, and respect
for the memory, of the great and good
man whose loss his country has so much
cause to mourn.
In pursuance with the foregoing reso
lution, flags were displayed at half mast,
by the shipping in the harbor, and on the
different flag staves, and the bells of the
several churches tolled from 6 to 7 o'-
clock, P. M. accompanied with the dis
charge of minute guns. =
The interior of the Arcade waseclad in
mourning, by the occupants of the build

INTERMENT
OF THE REMAINS OF MR. MONROE, AT NEW
YORK.
| The funeral obsequies of the Ex-
President JAMES MONROLE were
magnificent and impressive; not so much
from any military array—though that was
impmin'g—nr costly escutcheons,; as from
the participation in them of a whole peo
ple. Notless than seventy thousand per-|
sons witnessed the solemn spectacle'—
The line of march which extended near
ly two miles, was marked out by two
dense rows of people; who,without guards
or orders from any quarter, maintained
their positions, and never once encroach
ed upon the procession! The stoops, win-
[From the N. Y. Ama.ican
WHOLE NO. 67.
dows, and housetops, were alive with
spectators, The decorum which prevail
ed anid this great throng was alike strik -
g and creditable,
The following gentlemen were the of=
ficers of the day :
Grand Marshals «Major-General Fleming,
C dudsessssessssserigadior General Doughty
Brigadier Gen, J. J. Jones,
Colouel Low,
Major Schermerhorn,
‘ Captain ‘Tompiins,
Sanuel Swartwour, Fsq.
Rilus K. Burrows, Lsq.
The greatest eredit is due to them and
to the Comnittee of Arrangement of the
Common Council,of which Alderman Ce
bra was Chairman, for the punctuality,
order, and precision of the whole pro-
ceedings, :
The bodv having been brought by a
Guard of Honor trom the late residence
of the deceased, accompanied by the -
mediate relatives and triends; was depos
ited on the platform in tfront of the Cuy
Hall. Immediately above it a tempora
rv stage, covered with black cloth, had
been erected; and from that, President
Duer, of Columbia College, made the
following biv " and appropriate remarks:
Firrow-Citizevs.—-Another anniver
sary of our national independence has
been consecrated by the death of anoth
er of those patriots who assisted to a
chieve it—ol another of those statesme
who, alter a long course of public servied
attained the highest otlice i that govern -
ment, to the toundation of which he ha i
contitbuted by an carly devotion ot L
and fortune to his country.,
Did this event stand single in onr arn
nals—were it unconnected inour menio
ries with the deaths on a former anniver
sary of the same glorious day—ol two ol
his illustrious predecessors—even then
stinlar removal of the deceased woull
have been deemed admonitory, & would
have commanded a solemn and appropr
ate notice. But following as it does that
signal union in their thight from this world
of the unmortal spirits ol Adams and Jet
ferson, the departure of Mosxrok must
Cimpress us with an awful sense ot a -
vine interposition, and awaken a liveher
gratitude for the favor and protection of
an overruling Providence,
Amongstour national blessings we mav
indeed enumerate not merely the lives hnt
the very deaths of men like him whos -
mortal remains now hie before us, For
his lite was spent in usefulness to his
country—and his death imparts a great
er sanctity to her institutions, It would
be superfluous, fellow-citizens, to detain
you with a narrative of events, which are
iterwoven with a history of this nation,
and which must needs he familiar to ail
who have watched its prosperity, or whao
value its renown. It is enough on this
occasion to remind you that in the vari
ous public emploviments in which the de
ceased was engaged for half a centary,
he was distingmshed for the ardor of his
patriotism, and the uprightness of his in
tentions, for valor and perseverance as i
soldier—for industry, caution, and fidel
ity, as a statesman. And although be
fore he reached the highest station to
which he could be elevated by the favor
or gratitude of his countrymen, he had
not escaped the political controversies of
the time, vet party spirit had then so far
subsided, and political adversanes had
become so far reconciled, that he was
first chosen President against a merely
nominal opposition, and was re-elected by
a unammous vote, His adounistration
of that high office was not only charac
terized for its temperate and impartial
spirit; but it exhibited just & liberal views
of national policy, and was signalized by
the firm attitude and enlightened princi
ples which it assumed in regard to the
South American Republics, and in sup
port of the iutegrity and iaviolability of
the Western Continent.
At the expiration of the usual term of
service he retired permanently from pub
lic hite: but the time he had devoted to it
had prevented him from bestowing that
attention on his private affairs which was
essential to the comfort of his declining
years. With a broken constitution, and
impaired tortune, he sought for repose in
the bosom of his family, and looked for
hisremuneration to the justice of his coun
try; from the one, he received all the con
solation which this world could afford -~
from the other a grateful acknowledge
ment of his claims,
Upon ug, however, fellow-citizens, and
upon our posterity, he still has claims
which money cannot compensate--which
time cannot impair--nor death extinguish.
We owe to his memory a lasting debt of
gratitude for the blood shed in his youth
in defence of our liberties—for the vigor
of manhood exhausted in his efforts to
promote our national interest—and for
the experiepce of his age devoted to ex
tend and perpetuate our political welfare
and security. And whilst we commit his
body to the earth from which it sprung,
and commend his soul to the heaven
whence it issued; let us not forget, my
