GALICIA. 
When the plague was at its height in the Turkish dominions, 
the term of detention, and daily smoking with brimstone, &c. 
at Boyan, was thirty-three days; but since its abating, the time 
of probation has been gradually reduced to fifteen. I was allowed 
to proceed several days short of this term, on account of my 
papers of health being sent to the authority granting such per¬ 
mission ; and on the 27th of February, I again set forward, 
towards Tchernovitz, which we reached in a couple of hours 
This is a considerable town, and being a frontier-station is always 
well supplied with an Austrian garrison; at present it was under 
double guard, to repel all intercourse between the inhabitants of 
the province, and those of the Turkish principality during the 
violence of the late plague. Being obliged to remain till my 
passports were inspected, and countersigned by the officer com¬ 
manding the head of the police, I was not able to proceed till 
next day. 
February 28th. — This morning, by day-break, we were off 
again. The snow gradually disappeared from the country as we 
advanced, displaying in parts the broad brown faces of the hills, 
studded with villages, as were the valleys below. Jews are 
numerous in this district; and indeed I found them pretty thickly 
sown throughout all the provinces on both sides of the Danube. 
The posts of this day were as follows:
