BUCKINGHAM PALACE.

Extract from a letter, addressed by a French ar-
chitect in London to his friend in Paris :

" My dear Sair,—l shall now give you some ac-
count of de royal palace, here called de Buck-and-
ham Palace, which is building for de English King,
in de spirit of John Bull plum-pudding and roast
beef taste, for which de English are so famous. It
is great curiosity. In de first place, the pillar of de
palace are made to represent English vegitable, as
the sparrowgrass, de leek, and onion ; then de en-
tablatures or friezes are vary mouth enriched with
leg of mutton, and de pork, with vat they call de
garnish, all vary beautiful carved : then, on de im-
pediment of the front, stand collossal figure of man-
cook with de large English toasting fork in his
hand, ready to put into de pot a vary large plum-
pudding behind him, which is vary fine pudding,
not the colour of black Christmas pudding, be-
cause de architect say, it would not look veil
in summair-time : it is very plai❑ pudding. Then
de small windows of de kitchen on each side de im-
pediment at top story of de palace, have before them
trophy of de kitchen, such as pot, and de pan, and
othare thing, which look well at de distance, except
that de poker and de tong are too big. On de wing
of de palace, called de gizzard wing, (the othare
wing vas cut off) stand the domestic servant in
neat dress, holding in de trays biscuit and tart arid
othare thing. The name of de architect is Mis-
taire Hash, de King's architect, who, I was intOrmed,
was roasted vary much (the term I did not compre-
hend.) De English people seem vary much to like
this palace for de King, and do laugh very much.
There is to be in de front of de palace vary large
kitchen range, made of white marble, vich I was
told would contain von hundred of goose.at von
time. De palace yen complete will be called after
von famous English dish, de Toad-in-de-Hole."—
