PARIS, Nov. 24.—The ceremony of laying the I
first stone of the new front of the Palace for the
Sittings of the Legislative Body was conduced with
great pomp'. ' The President of the, Legislative Body
made a long speech on the occasion, in :which he
stated, « that this was a homage paid, by the Em-
petor himself to the French Nation. It was pleas-
ing to see the Conqueror of Europe pay honours to
that People withwhom he had triumplied-over all
others. A taste for public edifices and national
magnifieence always chara&erised heroes and great
Princes. While foreign Sovereigns, pursued by the
French .armies, were driven from their capitals, •
they were in tranquillity embellishing that city
which would, for the future, be not to much the.
capital of France, as of the 'civilized world. A
great part of Europe had been overturned, and never
was. France more tranquil. Last year saw the
',.re,nch Emperor diaate the Law in the Palace of
MA:IIA THERESA ; the following year saw hirn, -
before .its close, master of the Palace of FREDERICK:
the GREAT, and-French soldiers had manoeuvred on
the parades of Berlin and Potzdam. His name
would be engraven on the new front of this Palace,
-and all the arts united could not give it a nobler
ornament:, He concluded by -a • panegyric on
many of the great charalers which France bad
produced, and whose statues: would ornament that
•
•
Palace.

After the ceremony, the Members of the Legis-
lative Body, who had attended, and some other
.persons who were invited, assembled in one of the
Torun of the Palace to repast.
