MODEL OF ST. PETERSBURGIL

; 1 (From the liccue Encyclopedique of Paris, Dec 18:21.)
The creation of the city of St. Petersburglr is one of the
most remarkable occurrences of the last age. Stagnant
wa.t.ias, marshes, barren plains, a rigorous climate, and a
savage people arc the elements from which a man of de-
termined mind has contrived, in spite of natural impedi-
ments, to cruet:rat one of the finest and most
cities in the world. The two wonderful women who suc-
ceeded him in his Empire, completed the work which
Peter the Great had so well begun ; and the arts, the ex-
quisite taste and superior understanding of the nineteenth
century, have succeeded in polishing away every thing that
remained of the barbarism ur 'ignorance of the founders of
the capital of Russia.
We have seen plans of this city, as also separate draw-
ings of different parts of it, and views of its principal mo-
numents, &e. ; but these details, numerous and exact as
they were, did not convey to us an idea of the general
effect of the tout ensemble. The model or plan in relief,
which is now exhibiting in the Rue Rivoli, No. 18, is
imagined and prepared by M. de Rossi, a Venetian Noble,
'vha has obtained a patent for it from the Emperor Ah-
indee. The different parts of this vast undertaking have
i7,4.ken'executed by the best artists froth Russia, Germany,
and /calve, .under the. Virzetian of tfiti celebrated
fietian architect and engineer, Albert.Cavos ; it affords
an admirable representation of this great and fine city. To
. give an idea of the immense labour which it must have
Oat to produce this interesting work, suffice it to say, that I
sic most trifling parts have been copied, as well as faithful
I,4oeasiontatious given of the principal monuments and other
gnat edifices. The courses of the Neva and Canals are run
kurulds—the roofs of the houses are of metal--the statues
are dune in alabaster or bronze—the shipping is executed
rvi wonderful precision by regular ship builders, and the
fr.:nit views and elevation of the buildings are so perfectly
imitated that there is not an inhabitant of the capital
that could riot recognize his own house, court, garden, and

Tkis astonishing work has met with the most dis-
tingtashed patronage, particularly that of the Emperors
Alexander and Nicholas, and of the King of Prussia, who
was graciously pleased to order a place in the Academy of
Fine Arts, at Berlin, to be given gratuitously for the ex-
hibition of it ; and the proprietor has met with the same
favour in every place to which he has removed it. lie
has not, however, been so fortunate as to find a single
reoc: in Paris large euough to contain the whole, and
has thurefore been obliged to divide it into six parts, re-
and exhibit them in separate rooms, all of which are
tnarkable for the number, regularity, and elegance of the
monuments they contain.
This curious exhibition has been honoured with visits
from many persons of distinction, not only from the fashion-
able world, but also from the most distinguished members
of the literati and artists, and cannot fail to attract the notice
of all the amateurs in Paris, or wherever else it may be
exhibited.
