Nov. 24 When the Courier left, the Palace
of the Escurial was on fire Great fears
were entertained Of its total destruction, to-

ings and other works of art, contained with
in it's walls There is but little carpentry in
the building, but there are but few inhabt

curial was built by Philip ii. in the strange
form of gridiron, the instrument of the
martyrdo,n of Saint Lawrence, upon whose
anniversary the Spaniards gained the victory
of S. Quentin. The Convent is 740 feet, by
$50, and the Palace forms the handle OF the
imaginary gridiron. The paintings are ex-
cellcnt and numerous; and the vault contain
ing the royal tombs is grand and impressive
