{Med  by:  Kanieri,  Arehduke  of  Austria^  who  resides  here  the
greater  part  of  the  yeaKy-bnt  had  gone  to  Vienna  at  the  time
of.  our  visit,  probably  to  receive  his  orders  from  the  Aulic
Council.  .  We  found  an  immense  waste  .of  vacant  and  un-
furnished apartmoDts,  like  those  in^  the  regal  palaces  about
St.  (Mark's,  at  Venice.  Some  of  them  are  neatly  finished
in  the  French  style,  having  been  prepared  for  the  residence
of  Napoleon  and  Eugene  Beauharnois.
in  one  end  of  the  basement  of  the  Palace  are  deposited
%H  the  moveable  memorials  of  Napoleon,  swept  from  the
saloons  and  heaped  together  as  rubfaisby  on  the  ascendency
of  the  present  dynasty.  Gallic  eagles,  Cupids,  and  winged
hons^of  St.  Ijifafk  nestle  in  confusion,  among  the  score  of
heads  of  the  Emperor  by  different  artists.  Much  the  finest
of  the  group  is  a  semi-colossal  4»ust  by  Canova,  which  is
said  to  be  one  of  the  most  correct  likenesses  of  Bonaparte
ever  taken.  His  temples  are  more  hollow,  and  his  nose
more  prominent,  than  in  the  ordinary  representations  ef  his
face.  The  bust  of  Canova  himself  stands  by  the  side  of  his
immortal  subject;  and  in  the  general  outlines  of  the  two
htefis,  there  is  a  strong  resemblance.
