MARSHAL M'MAHoN.
LONDON, July 16.-A Paris correspondent.
describing the ceremony at Long Champs
the 14th, says: Of the old faces which be-
came notorious or celebrated in official re-
gions when Bonapartism and moral order
were paramount, few showed themselves at
the review. One of the few was Marshal
Canrobert. Another was expected and q
place was reserved for him, but he did not
come to occupy it. Harassed by creditors
and by the reproaches of old friends, and
grieved at the blow which has been inflicted
on the order, he has become out of sorts and
sees life in the gloomiest colors. 1t is said
he attempted last week to advance to a point
from which Hamlet recoiled, and that a
sombre Idea has taken hold of him which is
the cause of profound anxiety and affiiction
to his family. The correspondent alludes to
Marshal MacMahon.
