black and glowing, and hair like the raven's wing.
On that old pontoon passed between midday and
sunset all the types of the various populations of
the Spanish frontier, the Basque mountains, the
Landes, mingled with the more distant Biscayan
and the Arragonese. Something like this was the
aspect of the old pontoon bridge of the Adour in
times thattow seem far remote. Now all is changed.
Everything is more methodical, more respectable,
more civilised, I suppose, but certainly less pictu-
resque. But this is a digression.
On the Place d'Artnes, then, the Emperor alighted
from his carriage with the Prince, while the citadel
was still firing its salutes, and the band playing
what is now the National Anthem. Accompanied
by General Fleury, and, I believe, Marshal Niel,
and his orderly officers, he walked in front of each
side of the square, stopping now and then some few
minutes to address a few words to the officer. The
inspection did not last long, as the rain was still
coming down. The men and officers who were to
be decorated were called to the front, and the
Emperor, with the Prince by his side, distributed
the crosses. This part of the ceremony over, the
troops—there were in all, perhaps, about 20,000 on
the ground—marched past in the usual manner,
each section crying " Vive l'Empereur," as it passed
before His Majesty. When the ground was about
to be cleared the Emperor and Prince entered one
of the open carriages in which the Empress had
witnessed the proceedings, and drove back to
Biarritz, without any military escort, as they came.
The Emperor looked remarkably well, and it is
evident that the air has been of great benefit to
him. As he usually takes his departure a few days
after holding a review, it is thought that his stay
will not be much longer at Biarritz. He would
much desire, they say, to spend the winter here, but
of course this is not to be thought of. He is,
however, making the most of his holiday. A few
days ago he drove to St. Jean de Luz to inspect
the plans before making a port there, and with which
he expressed himself much pleased. On Sunday
last he drove to Mousseroles, on the Adour ; and
he and the Empress left their carriages and walked
from a short distance out of Bayonne to Biarritz,
about three miles, and hardly a day passes that he
does not make similar excursions•on foot.
