    drag the carriages. They were ft.ruck with the grand feenery of the country. Infpruck is finely fttuated on the Inn. They paf- fed the river the lucceeding morning, and toiled the whole day up Iteep hills, or cautioufly defeended down frozen roads. They travelled the laft ftage, to Reita, by the pale light of the moon, wlrch mag¬ nified the appearance of the mountains and refiefled its beams on dark forefts of fir, riling in beautiful contraft above extended waftes of fnow. At the edge of thefe forefts their fervant faw two prowling wolves; in fpite of which, however, and in fpite of many a fearful precipice, they arrived, about midnigit, at a good inn at Reita. At Reita they underftood that the nearet road would lead them through Bavaria, but a pxftport could not be obtained without delay ; they therefore continued their courfe over the plains of Siabia, diverfified with fine plantations of fir and parkift <ce- nery; and after a tedious lingering drive, arived long after midnight, at Augibourg. Augftxourg has the fpacious ftreets and bold eba- rafter of a town that once flourifhed confideridv. Its buildings are of a better chara6ter than thoh of contemporary cities; and the fimple front of the tovn- houfe has been very much and veryjuftly admirec. and TRAVELS. No remarkable town- intervened to detain them between Augfnourg and Ulm, which are diftan: rour pot.sand a iia!f nom each other. They continued their journey by Wefterfetten, Getftigen, Gaeppin- gen, and Llockingen, five polls to Stutgard, the capital of the duke of Wirtemburg’s dominions, which are bounded by the Alps amd the Black Foreft’ and contains about twenty thoufand inhabitants. 1 hey leit the town next dav and purfued their courfe over a traqklefs road, to Manheim, which is but a lew miles from Heidelburg. Having vifited Bingen, they proceeded by Latterfhall to Simerin, where they fiept. Early the next morning they reached Treves, flept that day at Graevenmaker, and arrived the ‘next day by dinner at Luxembourg: they then drove by Stein- fort to Attort, where they flept. i he next day they were ftiaken over very bad toads by Malmaifon to r larnilou!, and thence through dieaiy and almoft unpeopled wilds, on which, how- evei, much cattle is bred, by Grinfheim to Marche, where they flept, and the next day. proceeded over level uninterefling plains to Namur, 1 hey arrived at Bruflels March 27, and thence pi oceeded with all fpeed to England.
