The EMPEROR OF CHINA's SUMNER PALACE.
The correspondent of the London Daily
News has the following The ,Emperor's
palace is succession of detached buildings,
with large court-yards, artificial mounds of
earth planted with trees, fish ponds with
rustic bridges, artificial rocks and all those
varieties of ornamentation YOU may see de-
picted on Chinese crockery and drawings.
The buildings baye small pretensions to
architectural beauty externally, and are
more groteseue than handsome. Within
they are more striking. The audience ball
has well proportioned, lofty room, the floor
of marble, the roof richly painted, supported
on wooden pillar; the throne is as magnificent
piece of wood carving. The whole suite or
suites of apartments were furnished in tho
most costly style. and yesterday, when the
French troops had been sacking them for two
days, presented most singular appearance.
The whole place had been ransacked. The
French camp was like Vanity Fair. The
|erat6s were in utter confusion, and crowds
Mt Ccldiers were turning everything upside
NV N or hurrying forth from the doors laden
,.r1th spoil. 1t is impossible even to enumer-
ate tithe of the various articles found in the
palace. Fine bronzes, costly ornaments of jade
stone, the copper scnamel vases for which
Pekn is famous, of marvellous beauty and
fabulous value; old china, French watches,
and articles of English and French jewelry,
amongst them the presents sent to the Chi
nese Emperor by Lord Mccartney; silks,
satins and embroidery, fans, bracelets, all in
enormous quantities. and most of them of the
most costly description.
The courts were strewed, the rooms were
knee-deep in such variety of articles, such
strange combination ofshapes and colors, such
heterogeneous collection Of all things lmagl-
Unable and many unimaginable, as probably
no human eye ever rested on before. Besides
all these quantity of treasure in gold and
silver. was found This latter was not al
lowed to be plundered, but was divided be-
between the forces to be distributed SIS prizes.
A number of articles also, of more or
less value, have been secured for the En-
glish army, and will be sold by auction
aud the proceeds added to the treasure and
and detached buildings are surrounded by
high stone wall. The country round is
very pretty. There is range of low hills
Immediately behind, and on the SUBMITS
of some of these are ornamental pagodas.
Evidently very great care and taste and en-
orm. US sums of money, have been expended
on the place. A few hours suf6ced to de-
stroy the work of years, and to scatter the
millions that have been lavished with an
unsparing hand to the winds. 1t no ex-
aggeration to say that the total amount of
spoil contained in these.buildings was con-
siderably more than the whole army could
have carried away, had every man been
marched and allowed to bring out as much
as he could stagger under. The.quantity Of
silks ard satins was something quite in
credible; and after plunder had been going
on wholesale for two days, the quantity re-
naming seemed hardly diminished.
