"Malakoff' ofthe Times gives an interesting
account of the Frensh Army at home, as it ap
peared in the grand celebration Of all the
Marshals in the procession. Canrobert seemed
to have the most frieuds on the Place

thrown at him, and had an aid carry it back to
the soldiers. Gen. Forey, the finest looking
General in the Army of Italy, was loudly
welcomed by the people. Gen, BOurbaki, an
Algerian, commander of the Turcos, and a
very fine looking soldier also received an i'm.
mense salutation from the crowd. The Mara
shals as fast as they arrived opposite the En-
peror at the head Of their respective corps, sa-
luted their Majesties, and with their suite
wheeled and took position opposite to them,
so that the soldiers passed between them. As
soon as The corps had passed, they took their
station behind the Emperor. At the end Of
the ceremony Marshals Pelissier, Random, D.
Hilliers, D'Angely, MacMshOn, Canrobert, MID,
and Magnon occupied that position. "bIala-

line of Marshals, and was not little amused
at their various modes Of passing the time
Canrobert talked constantly in the ear of the
Minister OF War, (Randon,) gesticulating vio-
| lenlly and without cessation, and one could
easily imagine that the subject of his conver-
satiOn was Niel's letter published that morning
in the Independence Beige. RAMON, tall,
straight, active looking man, with gray hair
and moustache, listened and acquiesced as If
he were exactly of his interloculators opinion,
Next to Random sat Marshal Mac N lhon, Duke
of Magenta, on a horse as quiet as his master,
neither moving nor showing any disposition
either to talk or to hold any fellowship with
those around them. MaeMahon, as seen on
this occasion, is either a non-communicative
individual, or else something is wrong to day.

small, and he has the appearance of thinker.
Mcmahon was born in the same year as the
Emperor, ls0s Baraguay DHilliers sits

the Empress and the boy, who sit above, dash
es the water on the officers Of the EmpeTor's
suite, all the time keeping one eye in front of
him to see that the Emperor does not catch him
at it, He is tall, elm, straight old man, who
commenced his military career nnder the first
Napoleon, and he handles his drawn sword and
bride in one hand just as well as il he had two.
Neil stands next TO him, and appears more gay
than Mr.. Mcmahon, although these two ara
set Gown as the discontents at the termination
of the war, They had only got taste Of hu-
man gore, and we're drawn from the trail with
reluctance. Neil 10 tall, slim man, with large,

which he had not been permitted to take part.
