PARIS, Aug. Is, 1S59.-Of all the
Marshals, Canrobert seemed to have
the most friends on the Place Ven
dome. His arrival at the head of the
third corps 6arneee was the signal for
an immense outburst of applause. The
fact is Canrobert, although he looks
most like warrior, of all the Marshals
of France, is known to he the most hu-
name, and somehow or other he has an
old hold on the affections of the peo-
pie which appears to survive the ridi-
cule they attempt to throw On him in
certain quarters. Mcmahon, of all the
Marshals, was the only one who re-
tanned the KEPT, and on this account
seems not to- have been recognized by
all the people. He was met, however,
in our neighborhoed with a hearty wei
come, to which he made no manner of
reply; in fact, he rode to his place op-
posite the Emperor with so quick and
rapid movement that the people got
the impression that he did not relish
their compliments. On the Boule-
wards, the indifference with which both
McMahon and Nielreceived the hecompli-
ments of the crowd, gave rise to y be-
/ lief that they were dissatisfied with the
conclusion of the war. At one point
McMahon caught bouquet which was
thrown at him, and, handing it dryly
to one of his aids, ordered it carried
back to his soldiers. Gen. Forey, at
the head of the famous 9lst Regiment
of the Line-the little fellows who did
the business under his orders at Mon
tebello-was loudly appauded by the
crowd. He is a magnificent man phys
ically-perhaps the finest looking Gen
eral in the army of Italy. Gen Bour-
baki, an Algerine, commander of the
Turcos, and very fine looking soldier,
also received an immense salutation
from the crowd. He and McMahon
are the two gods of those savages, the
| Turcos. They would follow them to
the worlds end, and they obey them
lin everything, purely though the senti-
ment of admiration. They say of Nc
Mahon, in their African style, that his
head is in the heaven and his arms
around the earth. 70 8a1
The wounded who were able to
march in the procession, were all placed
lin mass, and numbered less than a
/ thousand. / need not tell you that
their reception by the crowd was OF
the warmest kind they were loaded
down with flowers. Many of these
brave fellows excited the sympathy OF
the public by the sad nature of their
mutilation; but it was reserved for one
of them to create an emotion so deep
that the women burst into tears, and
the men, instead of cheering, gazed
with silent respect. This was young
officer who marched proudly with his
arms both amputated below the elbow,
and the stumps bound in sings across
his breast. His face was pale and bore
the trace of suffering, but he bore his
deformity with the indifference of 9
true soldier. The Emperor sent 8
Cent -Garde to him to ask him his name
no doubt with view to his promotion
and relief. A wounded Turco left the
ranks and talked for some moments with
the Emperor, and q sergent also ap
l preached His Majesty and handed him
Ia paper, most probably a petition tor
mutilated comrade. The yiUandiei's
who was shot thorngh the leg was in
the procession, and was stopped and
invited to 60 to the Empress.
+ The marshals as fast as they arrived
opposite the Emperor at the head o.
the respective corps, saluted their Maj
estes, and with their suite wheeled and
took position opposite them, SO thai
THE soldiers passed between. As soor
as the corps had passed, they took theil
situation behind the Emperor, ant
almost beneath the .estrade on which
the Empress and Imperial household
were seated. Marshals Pelissier ant
Random were already in that position
so that, at, the end of the ceremon,
! there stood behind the Emperor, be
sides thetwo just mentioned, Marshal
