TO VIENNA. 399 
came to Bath. From this place, to Lewa, the chap. 
country is quite flat, abounding in pasture and ^...^^ 
corn land. From Lewa to Verebely it is as level iJ,,.J. 
as Flanders, and very rich in corn. In going ^'''■^''^'^• 
from Verebely to Newtra ^ the country was more Newtra. 
uneven. We met upon the road a number of 
Gipsies, as vagrants; who came towards us 
with music, and began dancing the English 
hornpipe. Afterwards they exhibited an Hun- 
garian dance, which reminded us of the ivhirling 
Dervishes^. At Newtra, a party of hussars were ' 
raising recruits by means of a national dance. 
Six hussars, standing in a circle, and beating 
together their large spurs, kept time to some 
music that was playing. 
May 26. — From Newtra to Freystadt, the Freystadt. 
country, although flat, was exceedingly beautiful; 
owing to its great fertility, its fine woods, its 
villages, and the neatness of the houses. The 
same scenery continued during all the distance 
(2) ''At Newtra there a.re jive or six hundred houses. The country 
around this place is very beautiful. We hired here such fine horses, that 
nothing but the want of a proper conveyance prevented my sending them 
to England, for the breed. Upon asking the price of two that were 
attached by ropes to our carriage, the owner said that one of them had 
coit ffty-Jive Jlorins (about 5/. 10;.)i ^^^ the other thirty .f cur Jlorinx 
(about tl. 8s.)." Cripps's MS. Journal.
