Drs Hoppe and Hornschuch’s Tour to the Coast of the 
presented an inscription 64 via Eugenia and through a most 
delightful country. We crossed the Tagliamento, which af- 
forded us occasion for three remarks, first, on the length of the 
bridge, which was 1800 paces ; secondly, that there was not a 
drop of water in the river ; and, thirdly, that we did not meet 
a single individual, while traversing the whole extent of this 
bridge. 
“ We dined at Codroipoj and meeting there with a return-car- 
riage, we rode to Udine, a distance of five hours, for which we 
paid one florin. We were recommended to the White Lion to 
sleep. The cloth was already on the table, as is the custom 
of the country, and we ordered supper immediately ; but when 
we desired to go to bed, the people of the house refused us 
lodgings. It would seem strange, to innkeepers of other coun- 
tries, to learn, that we were desired to quit the house in which 
we had supped, and to seek, late at night, for another to sleep 
in. We therefore declared, as intelligibly as in bad Italian we 
were able, that we would not depart; while our host, on the con- 
trary, protested, that we should not remain, affirming, 44 Ni pos- 
sible, ni possible.” At l$st, we offered him money to discharge 
our reckoning, when, on giving us back the change, he said, that 
we might stay, if we would give him three lire more. We paid 
it accordingly, and remained. 
u Gradisha , March 19. — As our passports must be exa- 
mined at Udine, which could not be done before 9 okdock, we 
looked a little about the town. But as the beggars collected 
around us in every street, we were obliged to take shelter in a 
coffee-house. One importunate fellow followed ns in, and w hen 
the waiter drove him out at one door, he came in at the other. 
We were therefore glad when we got our passports, and' turned 
our backs on this place. Straight as the roads had been, along 
which we had hitherto journeyed, that of to-day was as crooked. 
The spring flowers, however, continued all the w r ay, especially 
violets and primroses, also Hepatica nobilis , and Anemone nemo- 
rosa . We likewise observed leaves of Asparagus acutifolius , 
Arum italicum , and Ruscus aculeatus , which grew every where 
in the hedges, whilst, in other places, Ulex europoeus displayed 
its bright golden blossoms. As we had heard, on all hands, a 
favourable account of the inn by the road-side, just in reaching
