Zan PALACE wee begun in 1722, and at see t of S16,000,- 000 was finished aboab 1789. Then it was taken from the Priem of Conde, father of the Dna d'Ecgh'en, whom Napoleon subse- quently amused to be ,bob as a " military neaesatey," and oenfisoabed for the nee of the State. It was varieaaly occupied until the restoration and the return of the Prince of Conde in 1814. It was purebaeed at a asst of 1,5 250,000, or in the neighborhood ef $1,05J,000. The palace ie bounded by fear principal streets, the quai d'Orsay and rue do 1'Univereibe •reepeottveiy, south and north, and the rae de Bourgogne and the palace of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs en the emelt and wed. Ib is divided in two parts, the Chamber of Deputies and its de- pendenoies and the "Hotel de la Preen denae," The prtnoipel enbrance to the former is from the rue de i'Univeratbe, through the pour prinelpale, the deur d'Henneur and Sale Oaesimtr Perrier. A more convenient entranos le arranged, hew-. over, eff the gnat & eine , at the southern end el the Pons de la Oeaoerde. In the chamber, er Ballo des seance, as it 11 palled, the seam are ranged in semi-olr- d os before an elevation upon whioh is the ohatr of the president. Etch seat has a desk. In from of the presidential chair is the tribune, a platform raised a few eteps, from which all speeches are delivered. He who maples the tribune "has the floor." Right and left of the tribune ars stene- graphere, who report the speech in extenso, their report being published the following morning in the Journal Oficial. The first range of seats in (rent of the tribune are 000upied by the ministers, and behind them era the seats ef the merebe+rr, who retain the same places, whatever Government may be in power. The President has a wand er baton at his hand, bub he controls pro- ceedings ceedings by means of a bell hong en a pivot at one side ef his desk. Tho reem is hung with tapestries and paintings. It has two galleries, bhe lower containing the box of the President and those el the ;Mintetors and diplomatlo corps, and the second the aooemmedh.tione for tee public, The space devoted to the public is very snail, very poorly ventilated and very inadequate, sub- leebing the members °item to inaenvenienb preeoure for piaoes. The Chamber hat at its service the mag- nificent salons Caesimir Perrier, named for the President's grandfather. to whom ellu- sion has been made ; the Sallee da Trona and Pujot, the Salon de le Paix and a series of salons and garden extending west to the walls of the ministry of foreign affairs. The aparbmente have many beautiful pieces of ebatuery and painting, the finest, perhaps', being those by Eugene Detaoroia in the Belle da Trona, representing Agriculture, War, Industry and Justice. In the splen- did library are half a million volumes, in- cluding some of the rarest relies ef French literature. The oelleotion was begun in consequeuce of en appropriation in 1796. Among the treasures are the papers of the parliament of Paris, the proceedings of the condemnation of Jeanne d'Aro, werks of Jean Jacques Rousseau, Mably and many ethers.
