He had, as see by pers this morning, spent a large portion of the day with the Emperor. Parisians have for some days thought that he was with his corps neat Strasburg, and his departure is an event. He was called from Algiers the moment that there were signs of the imminent outbreak of war. He was in citizens’ dress last ote and with three gentlemen likewise dresse: as civilians, but the group—the Marshal was accompanied by some of his stat—was, after all, thoroughly mili in appearance. They were enjoying themselves with the pre- tence of being plain people, but their faces and bearing. every feature and movement,indicated their profession. McMahon wore a new silk hat, and its especial gloss was all that made him prominent in the crowd. His hair is white—a soft, brilliant white—and cut close, and his moustache is also white—as white as Fernando Wood's, but not half so large. He is said not to be an imperialist, and so small a c'rcnmstance as that he does'not wear bis beard in the fashion ot the Emperor, gives conkrmation to the re- port. He wears no imperial, his lower lip being clean shaven. In spite of his white hairs he has not the fe tay pe of advanced years. His eye, complexion and carriage indicate that he fain the prime of life. His face is a healihy scarlet, the sun of Africa being responsibl +, I suppose, chiefly, for the brilliancy of the onze on his'cheeks. His features are not grand, but refined; his nose is almost delicate in its fine outline and sharpness, and his mouth is sad rather than severe. You can see this expression of sadness—there is something that touches the pathetic in it—in the pictures ot him that will now appear every- where, and which are becoming as plentiful here as those of the Emperor, whose abounding photographs are one of the troubles of the times. icMahon’s eye is a little sunken, and a light bine, I think, with a cheery, intelligent sparkle in it, (that I am sure of;) and in bis walk be is | nick, and in gesture Tather deliberate for a ‘reechm Not many persons seemed to re- cognize him, and he paid no attention to those who did and were staring at him with evident curiosity, nor was there anything in his manner to show consciousness that he was observed. Two or three times was the cry ‘Vive McMa- hon,’ but he gave no sign of hearing it. There was not the slightest symptom of that look of ‘the hardened despot’ in which people are un- duly sensible of importance and fame, or of Koceoue of some sort, so often disguise them- s-lves.”” ss0e- Arrairs in Loupox Covyty, Vs 6 — Mirror ot this week has the following items: Hon.-I.
