N Mondaij, April 'l6^ we XehBuhorest, accom- iii. * 
panied, during the first stage of our journey, Dc-paaure' 
by our friend Mr. Summerer. The Turkish ^;;"'" 
Ambassador had ab'eady preceded ; but as we 
no longer travelled on horseback, having pur- 
chased a small open carriage, there was little 
doubt of our being able to overtake him. The 
inhabitants of Biikorest are not allowed the pri- 
vilege of remaining out of the city during the 
night, without an express permission from the 
Hospoclar: owing to this circumstance, and the 
badness of the roads, we parted from our 
worthy friend at Bulentin, distant only four 
hours from Bukorest. The trees were not yet 
in leaf; and the country exhibited a complete 
JrxU TO Tl ch €$• 
desert, flat and uncultivated. At Maronches, or 
Marunice, three hours farther, at noon, we 
observed the thermometer Os** of Fahrenheit. 
■ Gayest. 
We then passed through Gayest, a village di- 
stant three hours ; and Kirchinhof, three hours
