MOSCOW. 
The view of Moscow, from a terrace in the 
Kremlin, near the spot where the artillery is 
preserved, would afford a fine subject for a 
Panorama. The number of magnificent build- 
ings, the domes, the towers, and spires, filling 
all the prospect, make it, perhaps, one ot the 
most extraordinary sights in Europe. All the 
wretched hovels, and miserable wooden build- 
ings, which appear in passing through the streets, 
are lost in the vast assemblage of magnificent 
edifices : among these, the Foundling Hospital is 
particularly conspicuous. Below the walls of 
the Kremlin, the Moscva, already become a river 
of importance, is seen flowing towards the 
Volga. The new promenade forming on its 
banks, immediately beneath the fortress, is a 
superb work, and promises to rival the famous 
quay at Petersburg: it is paved with large flags ; 
and is continued from the Stone Bridge, to 
another, which is called the Moscva hi idge ; being 
fenced with a light but strong iron palisade, and 
stone pillars, executed in a very good taste. 
A flight of stairs leads from this walk to the 
river, where the ceremony of the Benediction of 
the Water takes place at an earlier season of the 
year. Another flight of wooden steps leads 
through the walls of the Kremlin to an area 
within the fortress.
