A letter front Moscow states, that time rebuilding of the
Kremlin, which is confided to the Baron de Bode, one of the Crown architects, is proceeding with great activity. It is built in the old style of Russo- Tartar architecture. Upon the roof there is to be a terem, or large pa- vilion, in term of a tent, such as was found in all the places of residence of the ancient czars, and in which they shut up their women. The in- tenor of the Palace will correspond with the exterior : the disposition of the apartments, their form, ornaments, tapestry, and furniture, even to the most minute details, are to be in the Russo-Tartar style.-1(orn- tny Chronicle. [Baron de Bode, in a letter to the Morning Chronicle, says the person who superintends the building is his younger brother, one of the Emperor's Chamberlains.] Some of the Paris journals have discovered a terrible crime on the part of the King of the French. It seems that some time since his Majesty received an envoy from the American Temperance Societies, who lame to represent not only the pernicious effects of spirits, but the diabolical results of wiue-bibbing. The worthy envoy wrote house that the King of the French was a decided enemy of wine, and very anxious for the decrease of its consumption even abroad.—Times.
