GRAND CAVALRY REVIEW IN PAR1s.-The review
of cavalry on Tuesday in honor of the King of Ba.
varla came of on the new race course in the Bos de
Boulogne. Among the spectators was extraordi-
nary large number of English. The cavalry con-
sisted of two regiments of carabineers, two of cut
rasslers two of hassars also of the dragons Of the
Empress, the lancers of the guard, and batteries
of horse artillery. At the Emperor and King of
Bavaria arrived on the ground from St. Cloud The
Empress followed the Imperial cortege in an open
carriage drawn by four horses. The appearance the
troops presented magnificent in the extreme, and
their maesties swept along the front they present
ed arms. and shouted with enthusiasm, Tiue J. En-.
pereur," while the bands played national airs The
King of Bavaria saluted the flag of every regiment
The Emperor, the King, and the EN- press having
concluded their inspection, took up a station near
the cemetery.
The cavalry then fell bacS, and the artillery pro-
ceeded to execute suhdry mannuvres. This done,
the first line of cavalry made charge, and the sec.
ond one afterwards did the same the regiments of
lancers also charged separately. Then the troops
we've massed according to their different arms, and
all en- masse came tearing along the plain, stopping
only few yards from the King and the Emperor,
who had removed TO- convenience TO the centre of
the ground. When the troops stopped they raised the
cry of " Vire Empsrsur." The precision with which
these movements were executed admirable, and
the King of bavaria, if we may judge from bis ges-
lures, both astonished and delighted with them.
10 the civilian spectator the sight iull of
ton; while the varied uniform and the many colored
plumes and the cleaning Of words and cuirass and
helmet, enchanted the eye, the assemblage Of such
multitude of men and horses filed the mind with
sort of terror at the tremendous force they represent
ed; the extraordinary and exactitude with which
such masses were moved like men chess board,
was too. subject of profound establishment.
