Bonaparte has adopted a very extensive plan for the improvement of Paris. Among other subjects all the streets between the Carousel and Louvre are to be pulled down and another gallery corresponding with the gallery of the Louvre, to be built with an open arcade, leaving in the front of the Tuilleries a parade sufficiently large to exercise an army of 100,000 men. Another new bridge is now building over the Seine from the middle of the Champ de Mars, and several new fountains are erecting, and the new national monument in the cemetery of the Magdalens, and the triumphal arch in the garden of the Tuilleries, commemorative of the victories of Napoleon, are prosecuting with activity. The other national works going forward are a column 130 feet high, in the place Vendome, to the French arms, with an avenue to the Boulevards; a martial temple on the Boulevards St. Honore, to contain the statues of the different generals who have distinguished themselves; on plates of gold, the names of all the officers and men who fell in battle are to be displayed ; and on plates of silver, the names of those who survived those conflicts; a temple to Victory at the barrier of the Champs Elysees, of immense magnitude ; a new parade to the legislative palace in the pantheon of Genevieve ; the quay of Desaix, which is to be faced with a piazza; and the column of Rostock.
