Three or four days is sufficient for

Before quitting this city, let me state


me thing by way of remark. The COM


Increment of the rail road to St. Ell


'nne passes through an arch so narrow,


at the following caution was deemed


necessary to he put up on sign at the
4ntrance:


-" AH persons are forbidden to pass through
ms arch. nnder the penalty qf being crushed"


Att~r time, this friendly admonition
vas found in ufficent, and the authori-
les 'ere obliged to add to it more Sc
we're restriction in these words:


:" all per,r MS are. FORBIDDEN to pass through
this or'h, ""d'r penalty IF " fine"


We took the night stage for Geneva
at eight O'Clock in the evening; and the
next morning at six, we were awaked
by the coNpUcTEUs, who apprized US
that we had arrived at the foot of the
ascent of Cerdon, and might if we pre-
ferred 1t WALK UP; suggestion which
|, tor one, was not sorry to act upon;
for The scenery is so grand and varied
that one might almost ima2ine himself
10 he in tie valley of the Alps.


We reached Nantua at ten O'Clock;
and few leagues further on, we stop

being over, one of our party proposed

unitts he shores of the river,
one side of which belongs to Savoy,
md the ther to France. On the mid
lie of this bri &c ale stationed two Gus

French, who sees that nothing passes
rom one state to the other without pay
ng the stipulated duties. These two
worthy GABELoUs smoked together On
he most friendly terms, each sending
umes of smoke towards the foreign
and : touching token of the good
that unites their majesties
Charles Albert and Louis Philippe.


The best point for examining the Gu
iosity that brought us here, is the mid
lie of The bridge. The Rhone, which
'lshes n deep and foami. &, suddenly
iSapI ears in the tranSverSal assures of
n enormous rock, whence, about fifty
ards further on, it ccmes forth again as
lid and rapid as ever. The surface of
'e Intermediate space remains perfectly
~ so that the bridge is thrown not
rt city over the river, but over the rock
lat covers the river.


1t is impossible To disc over what takes
