Oar Wednesday the 2d of December 1807, the se* 
cond day of Beiram, or the Easter of the Mussulmen, 
Ali Bey passed over to the suburb of Pera, from whence, 
on Monday the 7th of December, he set out for Bucha- 
rest in Wallachia, accompanied by a Tartar. 
At his departure from Constantinople, it was his wish 
still to extend his knowledge by new travels, but he 
had not then decided towards what country he should 
direct his steps. He therefore left his papers with a 
friend, whom he authorised to publish them after a 
certain interval, and commenced his journey, uncertain 
whether, upon his arrival at Bucharest, he should travel 
to the west, the east, or the north. 
From Bucharest he transmitted an account of his 
journey from Constantinople, an abstract of which is 
here subjoined. 
On the 7th of December Ali Bey slept at the village 
of Kouchouk Charmagi, on the banks of a lake formed 
by the sea of Marmara. 
On the 8th he proceeded through Bouyouk Char- 
magi, Combourgas, Boadas; and rested a short time at 
Selivria, a larger town than either of the former, con- 
taining several mosques, and situated upon a small har- 
bour of the sea of Marmara. All these towns are 
inhabited by Greeks, who appear to be better treated 
than in other places.
