This is the burial of a George KAY, (not Mackay as you have written, though you may know if it is the same person.) 'interred in the cemetery of this parish'. He was aged 32.
A Joseph Grendin (?) and a John Kay are the witnesses.

Is there something that says le corps there?  I'm trying to see if he was in the army

'Le corps' is his body here. He appears to have died at Grosse Ile, Michigan - that may help you decide if it was related to the army.
