National guard, and the troops of the' garrisj,
were, besides, employed, to add eclat to the occasion, LI!
lining both sides of the Boulevards, from the Column of
th
Bastille to the Place Vendome. But it was not the dgcolel
tion of the houses, nor the triumphal archts, nor tv
immense mass of varied uniforms, and glittering bayoneillsl
which formed the great feature of the proceedings,- it 10,
the people. In one dense crowd they spread from kt.
Place Vendome to the' Bastille T—a crowd so dense, that, id'
was impossible to force one's way through it. They fill
every window of every house; they occupied every noel
and cranny from which a view could be obtained; the,
swarmed on the very roofs.
The regiments which were paraded were the 20th, the'
39th, the 50th, and 97th, of the line : the Chasseurs '
Zouaves, the Voltigeurs (two regiments), the Artillerfl I
the Engineers, the Grenadiers (two regiments), and the:
gendarmes of the Imperial Guard. They
were drawn oP
at about eleven o'clock in the Place de la Bastille,-11 in the very uniforms and kits with which they carne
from the Crimea,—and each re,;iment with its wounde
at its head..
The Emperor, in the midst of a splendid cortege'
reached the place shortly • after twelve. On the
whole line be was received witt enthusiastic shows, the
troops and National guards presenting arms the drill
beating, and the trumpets sounding. 'His Majesty passed
the troops in review, and he delivered in a loud voice, and
in his usual effective manner, the speech which has been
transmitted to you by express. When he had concluded' I
the generals who were in attendance on him, and who were,
a numerous body, waved their hats, the other officer°
branished their swords, and the troops raised a thundering
cry of " Vive l'Empereur !"
Then commenced the filing off of the troops, amidst the
charging of trumpets, and thumping of drums. After the
Emperor and his cortege had passed, came the pupils of the
Polytechnic school, and of the Military school of Saint Cr'' •
who have thepleasureof figuring on such occasions, And then r
came the Crimean heroes. Oh, if you had heard the immense'
shouts of" Vive la ligne!"• " Vivo la Gerdes," which rent
the air as the regiments paper! ; if you had seen the people i
at the windows. waving their , hats and handkerchiefs, and
clapping their hands; if you bad seen the intense curiositi
to get near the poor soldiers, who wore their dirty capst
their dingy uniforms, and well-used knapsacks, and wile carried even the blankets which formed their only covering,
in the dismal Crimean winter; if you had seen the pride and
exultation which was manifested at the sunburnt weather beaten faces, and at their jaunty devil-may-care bearing;
if you had seen the profound sympathy which
was manifested towards the wounded—some with
arms lopped off, others with their faces bandaged, others
with frightful scars; if you had seen the thrill of
emotion which ran through the crowd at sight of the ragged i
flags of the regiments, some of them blackened with gua,`
powder, and some riddled with balls; if you had seen tears
streaming down the cheeks'of women, and glistening in the
eyes of men, you would never have forgotten it ! The

sokvith the flags or England, Turkey, and Sardinia, as if

forin the dangers and the glory of our army ought to have
their share of the public gratitude. Several triumphal
arches had been reared along the line of the Boulevards.

'0 The Emperor, after having slowly passed along the
Pe °oanks of the Infantry of the Line, of the Imperial Guardd,
034 the Artillery, stationed himself in the midst of the
solkAxopa, formed into a half circle, and addressed them in
e following terms:—
