 have persevcred thus far, in my att tempts to visit the Russian army as an am- aieur, for the purpose of observing it's op- erations against the Turks, and arrived in Wallachia, by way of Rotterdam, Frank fort, Vienna Pesth, and Hermaunstadt.- The former part of my journey as produc- five chiefly of pleasure; but the latter part of many of the disagreeables of trav- ellington, in my progress hither iron.
