The triumpbal entry into Paris of the army of Italy
took place on Sunday, the 14th inst, and passed of
| with great eclat. The streets were crowded to ex-
cess and the decorations and illuminatiOns in the
evening were on a grand scale. The Emperor and
his staff headed the procession along the Boulevards
from the Bastile to the Place Vendome, and were
greeted with loud a~cclamations. The Empress and
the Prince Imperial were stationed at the Place Ven-
dome, and On arriving there the Emperor took up q
position in front Of the Imperial stand, and the troops
marched on. The deflement of the troops at the
Place Vendome commenced at half-past ten, and ter
minated at half past two. The soldiers bearing the
standards taken from the enemy were received with
ovations. The flags of those regiments which were
torn by the enemy's fire, excited the population to
enthusiastic cheers. The weather was fine, and the
spectacle imposing, but somewhat monotonous. The
Emperor is said to have been coldly received in
Democratic quarters
On Sunday evening a grand banquet was given by
the Emperor to the principal chiefs of the army.
About three hundred persons were invited. At the
| close of the banquet the Emperor spoke as follows:
Gentlemen The JOY l experience at finding my
| self again with most of the chiefs of the army of Italy
would be complete if it were not tinged with regret
to behold soon the dissolution of the elements of a
force so we'll organized and SO formidable. As a
sovereign and as a commander-in-chief I thank you
again for your confidence. 1t was fattering to me,
who had never commanded an army, to find so much
obedience on the part of men who had great expert
ence in warfare. If success has crowned our efforts,
1 am happy to attribute the greater part of it to those
skilful and elevated generals who rendered my COM
mand SO easy, because, animated by a sacred fire.
they have necessarily given an example of duty and
of disregard of death. A portion of our soldiers are
about to retrre to their homes. You yourselves are
about to resume the occupations of peace neverthe-
less, do not forget what we have done together let
the remembrance Of obstacles overcome, of dangers
eluded, of imperfections discovered. be ever presen,
to your minds. In commemoration of the italian
campaign, l shall distribute q medal to all who took
part in it, and 1 wish that to-day you may be the
first to wear it. May it recall me sometimes to your
memory, and while reading the glorious names en-.
graved thereon, let each exclaim, eff France has
done so much for a people who is her friend, vha,
would she not do for her own independence :" l now
propose the health to the army.
