room for her Aaiesty-that is to say, the most re-
tired and private rooms Of the suite. The Emperor,
whose preference for the style Of Louis XVI is well
known, has desired her apartments in question to &
be entirely decorated after the fashion and taste OF
Marie, Antoinette. N. Lefeul received orders to
renew the elegant ornamentation Of Trianon in
this Partisan palace. Art and industry have done
marvel under his superintendent, SO that we see
again the graceful arabeseues, the rounded tnper-
ing yolutes, the exquisite garlands, and the me
carvings of the hitter part of the eighteenth CEN
tury. AL the models are unique, and executed
with admirable nicely, from the door handles to
the chimney pieces, the panels ard squares OF glass;
and the whole furniture from the time-pieces to the
tongs in the fireplace, is in harmony With this style
of decoration. The FIRST saloon, Of pale green,
is adorned with arabesquesfofa deeper tint. Me-
dallions glisten in the panels and within them are
birds, painted by N. Appert The prevailing color
Of the second saloon is rosy white the arabesques
are ,osecolored. Then come the private saloon Of
the Empress, the ground Of which is likewise OF =
very light green, and the panelings Of which con-
tain the portraits Of her ladies Of honor, painted
by NJ Dubuffe; then her tswithdrawing. room,
lined with green stuff, on which are hung valuable
pictures; the door ofthis cabinet and the next are
Of amaranth and palisander, set off BY bronzes,
gilt and admirably chased. ys3i
