eyes of the world are now fixed, as upon al
arbiter of the destinies of Europe. -..,
The Army of the Alps is subdivided intt
four corps, commanded, the 1st by Marsha
Count paraguay d'Hilliers; the I'd BY Conn
MacMahon; the Sd by Marshal Caurobert
the 4th by General of Division Mel, Aid

Marshal PARAGUAY D'HILL1ERs, vet
eran of the wars Of the first, empire, distin
guished,himself in Africa, where he success
sively commanded brigade and a division
then, at the head Of 1only'a division Of in
fantry, after four days of open trench, he en-
tered Bomarsund, and inscribed on the flag
of France the first victoryof the last war. -
The officers of the French army remember
their old commander of the Ecole de St.
Cyr, of which the Marshal had formerly the
direction. Marshal paraguay d'Hilliers, al
though deprived by amputation of one arm,
is gifted with an extraordinary physical ae.
tivity. His gray hair covers volcano. he
is one of the frmest and most energetic lead,
ers: His directions are always quick, and
his judgment sound and reliable.
Count MAC MAHoN, who is at present the
chief commander of our troops in Africa,
has proven on the crest of Malakoff that the
young Imperial army is possessed of the rude
energy of the Cambronnes and the elegant
valor of the Richelieus.' Since l84l, when
he commanded battalion of chasseurs, Gen.
de Mac Mahon has been almost constantly
in the field. The soldiers love him, believe
in him and will follow him with confidence
across the line Of the enemy, through which
he will pierce with his sword uplifted, smi-
ling eye, the coolness of leader and the
spirit of brave soldier.
Marshal CANRoBERr is the friend and the
successor in command of the Eastern army,
of the illustrious and ever to- be regretted
Saint Arnaud. Weneed not speak to France
of the deeds of the hero of Zaatcha; all the
soldiers of the Crimea saw him at work.
His devotion and bravery have recommend
ed him to the Emperor's choice,
General MEL, one Of the aides-de-csmp
of the Emperor, is General of the Engi-
neers, and his success has won for him the
surname of Polyorcetc. He has been pre-
sent at all the regular sieges which have won
fortified cities to our arms, viz: Antwerp,
Constantine, Rome, Bomarsund and Sebas-
topol. Gen. Mel takes for the first time
the command of a corps d'armee.
The Army Of Observation, the hoadauar-
ters of which will be at N Nancy, is not divi-
ded in several corps-at least the Monaepr
does not mention it. 1t will be commanded
by his Excellency Marshal Pelissier, Duke Of
Malakof, for the present our ambassador in
London.
The Duke DE MALAKoFF.-The perse-
yering and ever lucky soldier of the cam
paigns of Africa and the Crimea owes to his
high and justly acquired reputation Of a
man of war, the quite special position assign
ed to him. To the chief who has. proven
that he could assume responsibility his Maj
esty has entrusted the position where re-
sponsibility could, in certain circumstances,
be most difficult to bear. Marshal Pelissier,
since 1915, has witnessed all our battle fields
in Spain, Greece, Belgium, Africa and the
Crimea. With such sentry-&rm, ardent
and calm-France can be easy On the Rhine.
The sentry'si siustructions will not be violated.
Prince NAPOLEON will command corps
d'armee, which has already embarked at
Toulon for Genoa. The Imperial Guard re-
main under command of Gen. Reynaud de
St. Angely. The four first named officers
have received their orders, and have left
Paris accordingly for the 'army of the Alps.
The Emperor, whose staff is under official
order to be in readiness at an hours notice,
will not be slow to follow, if events hold
their present direction. Meantime French
troops are pouring over the frontiers in le.
gions. The railway service has been so or.
ganized that every hour battalion of six OF
eight hundred men could leave Paris
Three infantry divisions, upwards of 10000
men, have been dispatched in this manner
and on Tuesday the first detachment of the
Imperial Guard, consisting of the Zouaves
and two regiments of Grenadiers, were sim.
ilafly forwarded. The occasion produced
one of those little incidents which 60 far in
monarchical countries to inhame a wariike
enthusiasm.
A battalion of each regiment of the Guards
went, with its band, to the Tuilleries to re-
ceive the colors. The Emperor, with his
little SOD, was walking in the reserve garden
as the Grenadiers passed. Lifting the Prince
from the ground, his Majesty approached
the railing, when the crowd fell back and
the Colonel approached. His hand was cor
daily shaken ythe Sovereign, who, raising
the Prince high upon his shoulders, wa'
greeted with the most enthusiastic cheers
The troops passed on, and as they returned
the Empress, who had fastened to NEE
them, took the Prince in her arms, and, with
tears streaming from her eyes, waved Goo
