REVIEW IN THE CHAMP DE MARS.

The weather on Wednesday was magnificent for
the erand review. The Parisians, who always love
a military spectacle, were stirring betimes. Many
went to take up a position in the environs of the
Champ de Mars as early as seven in the morning,
and waited patiently for hours before a single soldier
made his appearance on the ground. During the
why le morning a constant stream of people might
be seen in every street marching with hurried steps
towards the scene of action. By one o'clock Paris
was visibly depopulated. All the world had gone to
the Champ de Mars. Immense pains were taken to
render this review worthy of the Grand Duke's at-
tention. The entire Imperial Guard was fur the
first time arpenabled together. Besides the garrison
of Paris, regiments were sent from Nancy, Com-
piegne, Meaux, Fontainebleau-, Melun,' Chartres,
Chateaudun, Provins, Orleans, &c. • There must
have been at least 50,000 men in line. The Champ
de Mars would not hold them all, and several corps
took up their stations in the environs and on and
about the bridges. A very large proportion of this
army consisted of seasoned troops, who have seen
several years' service. Among them were the
Ist, 3rd, 4th, and 7th Foot Chasseurs, and the
7th, 10th, 11th, 17th, 20th, 33rd, 46th, 47th,
50th, 56th, 66th, 7911, 95th, , 96th, and
the 97th of the line, all of which regi-
ments were among the first to embark for the
Crimea.. in 1854. Several regiments appeared for
the first time in new uniforms. The infantry of the
guard wore the garance trousers. Among the
cavalry the Chasseurs a Ckeval de la, Garde, who
are removed from Compeinge to Fontaine•
bleau, excited great admiration. This magnificent
regiment is mounted upon light grey Barbary
entire horses, brought from Africa. Although
many of the troops are but just off long marches,
they all appeared as clean and smart as if the;
had had but just turned outof barracks for a regimental
parade. The Emperor left the Tuileries at
past one, having the Grand Duke on his right hand
and Prince Napoleon on hisleft. An immense staff
f„llowed, comprising Marshals 1' Pelissier,
Kara zilaY .
Bosquet, Canrobert, several
French generals, and very many Russian and other
foreign officers ;, among whom was the famous Genf 1
Todtleben, and Generals Luders, Gortchakoff, Li_
prandi, and Dannenberg. I observed fire English
uniforms in the suite. The Emperor's arrival on
the Champ de Mars from the Pont de Jena, was
greeted with the usual acclamations. The army
was too numerous for any very inspection,minute
and too closely packed for ally manceuvresh. 11.1 s
Majesty, followed by the Grand Duke at t e
tance of half a neck behind him, passed along the
leading lines of infantry, cavalry, and artiliery,and
then the filing past began without loss of time.
This movement was executed by the troops in large
masses and with extraordinary rapidity, under the
command of Marshal Magnan.' Each regiment,
its
quarters filing past, marched off the ground to
quarters ws.hout waiting for the Emperor. The
review was over by five o'clock.
