A4ccu linz the hoard staircas-. which in two
flights reaclr's from the court TO the upper story
Of the palace aud to tr rspanalr outside the
Hall Of St. Andrew. at the end Of which Is the
Imperial thronr in purple and gold, with sven
stops ascending to il, above is emblaznnr'l.
"ECEil lie Dieu,' surrounded by golden glory.
The walls are covered with blue. the color OF St.
Andrew ribbon. with the srmorial b,arings of
ell the kingdoms principaliirs, duchirs and
provinces Of Russian Empir', aud between the
windows are represented in gilt relief the chain
and cross Of the Apostle.
At the upper end of the hail. on the lelt-hsnd
side, there is great crowd Of persons at one
side Of a small table. They are feasting their
eyes OH the crown. the sccpter, and the &c be,
which will be used presently in the great cere-
nnony of the day. The only praise that can BE-
given TO diamonds belongs to those in the crown
--.they are very big aud very bright. The
crown 10 a cluster of Koh -nooIs, and there is
a wreath Of diamonds in the form of oak leaves
around it which is dazzling the sun himself
WGny Of these brilliants are the size Of pistol
bd.ls of the good old du lling diameter. As to
the seepier, there is tip TO II formed OF fam
.ous diamond, which one is almost afraid TO talk
about really would not venture to state how
lerye it seems to be- and shall content myself by
.sryius that this is the precious stone for which
Cstharne H. gave nearly ESQ 600 and large
pension for life 10 runaway slave.
In two long lines, from door 10 door OF the
Hall Of St. Andrew and OF the Hall Of st.
George, are drawn up the Grenadiers of the Pal
ace, veterans Os the last war. To me these fine
old soldir-s more interesting and attractive
than all the display Of riches and blaze of gold
nnd silver around and above MS. Their dress
recalled the days of those Titanic struggles
which shook all Europe. The huge b'arskin Gu p
with white tassals and guilt cords. the ample
broad -chested coatee and cross-b'l,s. and tht
white psnlaioons with many buttons al the oute
side from the knee to the foot, reminded one o
the time when Kutusoff, AMI Blucher, and
Murat. and Wellington were tn. heroes Of fast
recurring battles. These men are picked iron
,ynrions regiments, with some regard. perhaps, tC
size, but certainly with undoubted claims on th'
score OF service. for there is not one Of then
who does not bear five or six ribbons and cross
CO or medals on his breast. As you walk alons
that wall of soldiers il is difficult 10 believe tina
they have lived under three EmpeTors, and hav
fought against the great Napoleon. They ar
all IN perfect preservation.
