The clergy are under a metropolite, Peter Johanowitsch, 

 Archbishop of Semendria, and formerly one of the secretaries 

 or ministers of Prince Milosch. He is now quite independent 

 of the metropolite of the Hungarian Servians at Carlowitz, and 

 is only in a slight degree under the authority of the Patriarch 

 of Constantinople. He is well paid by the government, and 

 also possesses some private estates. Besides the Archbishop 

 there are three Bishops, viz. at Timok, Schabatz, and Tschat- 

 schak ; and there are still twenty monasteries, containing 100 

 monks. 



The only gymnasium in Servia is at Kragojevatz, There 

 are sixteen schools paid by government, besides which, some 

 few parishes have their own schools. A printing-office has 

 been established at Belgrade, as also a type-manufactory : they 

 print very well, and have already put into circulation many 

 useful books, the most of which are translations, together with 

 some new works, poems, &c. The only Servian newspaper is 

 printed here ; but the circulation of this is still prohibited in 

 Hungary. The best national poet seems to be Milutinowitsch, 

 who is now at Leipzig, engaged in printing two new works, 

 and in collecting historical information. He is a native of Bos- 

 nia, and has a pension from Prince Milosch. The same reward 

 was also conferred on Vuk Stephanowitsch, now residing in 

 Vienna, who was the first that published a collection of the old 

 poetical Servian songs. Last year he published at Stuttgart a 

 small account of Montenegro, and he also supplied Ranke, of 

 Berlin, with materials for his History of the Servian Wars and 

 Revolution. 



Prince Milosch governs by means of a few secretaries and 

 counsellors, some of whom are Hungarians. The name of his 

 foreign secretary is Ivanovitsch. He has no court, and no mag- 

 nificent houses, like those of European princes, but only good 

 Ko7wks, or stone-houses of one story, like those of his people. 

 He has no sentinels stationed before his door ; but opposite the 

 house, there is a small guard of ten soldiers for the protection 

 of the treasury. He has two sons, Milan and Michael, of six- 

 teen and twelve years of age, and two daughters, who are mar-
