9th. Cavalry Of the guard, in gilt
tcring armor
10Th, The Emperor and his attcn'
dants brought up the rear from the
! Place Vcndome down Rue de RivoIi
to the Palace of the Tuillerics.
After the street had been somewhat
cleared. the Empress and her housc'
hold followed on to the TuiIlcrirs in
the State carriages, each drawn BY
only two horses, and entirely unattcn'
dcd except by the iootmen.
We had a good opportunity to see
the whole Of the procession, havinga
stand in IA balcony in front Of our no
tel from which we could see both the
army and the masses otpcople up and
down the streets for miles. 1t Is cS'I
mated that there were from live 10
EIGHT HUNDRED thousand people on the
streets on Sunday, besides what were
in the houses and on the houS tops
It seemed 10 an American like any
thing but Sunday. The hundred
Brass Bands, the scores and scores OF
kettle drums, the yclis Of the masses
and the confusion generally, made it
seem more like pandrmonium than IA
city protesting to be Christian. Hun
drcds Of Priests, Monks and l'rIarS
were pushing and crowding along
with the rest, looking anything bu,
meek and IowIy as would have be-
come their long black robes and shh,
ven palcs. The day finally closed
with II partial illumination Of many
Of the streets.
But Monday was the big frtc day.
Interesting and briIIjant SpcctncIeS
were got up aud carried on during
the day in every part OF the city

not bat think OF the ImIIouS manner
in which they bad drSccralcd the
Sabbath but the day before.
Ancrt the service concluded, ! spent
the rest Of the day in wandering
about from place 10 place, seeing the
various shows and sights got up for
the occasion. The large plot "Fground
in front Of the lUvaIidcS, Qrom fifty
to one hundred acrcs) was crowded
with exhibitions Of all kinds. There
were five or six circuSrs going Oh
