" FOr three months have I.now been traversing Ikusiia, the . only Country in the World in which 'a man is worst receiyed for money, and best by those whom he cannot pay, in which the inn keepers are the most slovenly and inattentive, and private families are the most hospitable and kind. I know not %well what to say Of this con_ ;trast,. I have found it sometimes just and some times false; but on the' whole I think, that for Travellers, industry will still be better to be met with than hOipitality. "At last. lam at Moscow. Nothing can be more singular in every, respell, than the aspea of this City. It seems to contain two Nations.— The one inhabit Palaces, speak French, converse about fashions and dresses, compose music, train horses to go to the Opera, give 1000 roubles a year for a house, and roo for a well-trained Canary-bird. The other lodge in huts, con- Strucled in the manner of those of Savages, wear long beards, know nothing of the Play-house, enervate themselves with drinking spirits ; on Sundays quarrel about nothing like children, and are appeased in the same manner, as soon as two or three, buckets of water are thrown on the dis, putants,, which_are always kept in readiness, for this purpose in the places where the People as. " On the one hand, is civilization in all_ its luxury : on the other, the state which borders on'barbarism. The diterence of education thus forms the only cause of this most perceptible dif fcrenee. Whoever he may be that presents him pelf to a Russian, he will be well received, pro_ tided ti,e can amuse. But the desire of amnse, nett appears to be most powerfal among the in habitants of Moscow. " On . the ist of May, the whole City is in motion ; all the carriages, brilliant in appearance, all the liveries new and sitewv, are on the pro menade, called The Getman Fables, where they eat =der tents and under trees. Dialing the re- maindcr of the Summer, every person - who has qnot fled from Moscow to the' Country, is`to be `seen constantly at the Vauxhall, in the Palace. Gardens, in those of Count Ox Lot , ' F, of PASCH KOVry Bre. hut the. Winter is the true season ,of pleasure. On its apptoach, a hundred thousand persons return to Moscow. The streets covered with snow become so much the better. The ice of the Meska tiaras a new promenade *; and the colds here have, as I am assured, a pleasantness - altogetl i er pectiliar.. I can on Sundays,,go and shew myself b a'sledge or in a carriage in t!le street Pokroskaia, or figure away at the courses on the ice of the Meska. lidt take good care, said a man to Me who understood then : things well, that ilyour,sledge is drawn by two horses, it is necessary that one of them should always gallop, and, that hie companion should at the same time trot without disconcerting him ; and I have found, that if I negleaed this generally-Observed regulation, I would do well, at least for 'some time, not to shave myself in goodcOmpapy.'.' By a private letter we learn, that the Cap_ tain of a Swedish vessel loaded for a house in Loudon, contrary to his promise on oath, made his escape from Riga:; on which account the house which loaded him has been obliged to make a deposit of ro,ooo rubles it further adds, that the Swedish Consul's Countinghouse is seal. bri account of `the above.rnentioned ship escaping.—The accolint4 from our sailors are favourable, and they meet with good treatment.

" A servant on horseback was dispatched' after them and his Lordship laughing heartily at the mistake,l followed in a post.chaise : but so assi duous were the drivers to forward the Noble Earl on his journey, that, they drove eight miles be.. fprc the servant could overtake them, and he bad then some difficulty in getting them to listen to his account of their mistake. , .

ON Sunday evening we had again an alarm of fire, ,at .a Fadory in this town ; but by 'imme diate and alive assistance, it was extinguished without very material damage. tWe are very sorry to add, however, that about three o'clock on Tuesday morning,' there was a more -criotts alarm at a Fatory in Oxford-road, principally OCCU pied by Mr. Dean, It had taken fire, and .the flames had so far spread before they were discovered, that "all attempts to extinguish them were ft uit less, and in a short time every article .was de stroyed, and the walls only left standing. Mr. Dean's property was insured, but another tenant of a, part of the building will be a considerable sufferer. . . We are glad to contradia a report of this Faetory having been wilfully set on fire, as there is not the smallest foundation for it. Spoturirrc.--AThe -Berkeley hounds had a ter rible hard day for the hories on Monday last : after a short run ~ at Bear Grove, they drew off to Shottesbrook coverts, where, instantly unken neling, the fox, broke most gallantly, crossed the lawn of Colonel VAssmakr, over the open country to Kiln Green and Hurley Park woods, where running for'neaiitn hour without being able to shake off the pursuit, he again faced the open country, re-erossed Vansittarts, and reached 'once more the great wood ; finding no permanent shel• ter in which, he again broke covert, and passing Brickbridge, led the pack through,the H4Y.CS and and }infield to Billingbear Park, where taking the wholt'ehain off coverts he returned over Waltham COITIMOII, and by liriek.bridge, to the place where he was found, and the. hounds were holloaed off when it was dark the horsemen could not see each other„ and after one of the best runs ever seen in the country. The severity of ti= Chace, anti the depth 61 the country, .obliged several, to give it up at the end of the first hour, If K,Emeta could make as much use 191 Old FREDERICK'S Cane, in reviewing his Theatrical Troops as the Pruisian Monarch did in marshalling his Military Squadrons, there would certainly - be no want of disci/Vine. The Audience at Drnry , Lane Theatre were thrown into a roar of laughter on Tuesday night, from which they did - not soon recover, when DOWTON, as Sir Chilstopher Cony in Inkle a':d Yarico, with peculiar and, somewhat' arch em phasis exclaimed, on the approach 'of Dm sum, Here comes the jolly boy." CRAWFORD, the. Librarian, at Brighton, whose death we announced, has left a large fortune be hind him.

D. 4 O4I3EACER.-A poor German; a carpenter, and-a fugitive soldier; has accomplished that for which merchants, philosophers, and politicians, have been during ages; still renewing disappoint., vd wishes, and projefting enterprizes at best, but imperfealy successful. Thii man, by tame C.' F. 1/Imberger was, the yelir 17131, trepanned at Artterdarn ittN,the service of the Dutch East. India Cgmpany, sit'a common soldier. On account of illness, he NVAS "detainea for a while at the Cape of Good Hope ; though enlisted and sent out from I lolland, to serve in , Batavia. Refusing to gratify the lewd desires of die wife of one of the Officer's commanding at the Cape,. he Was, in ebnsequence . of her artifices and feigned cornpl.tints, ordered for Batavia a second time. He had been, ere this' time, informed of the unwholesoMeness of the climate of Java, and dreaded it as if he had been ordered for execution. He deserted: and as his desertion could not otherwise be concealed; took the desperate resottitipn of advarring into the Interior Wilds of Africa. A carbine,' a few pounds of gunpOwder, some .! balls, a small stfm - ofirtOney; and a fewother ticks of indispensible necessity, were his only apparatus', for the eritererize. He journeyed North-East from ;he Cape; pasied onwards without interruptiOn' through the ePutitsy„ of the, kind, simple, and hospitable Hottentots ; even among: the fiercer and less . humane. Caffiarians; i7pet ‘vith much more of gentle beneficenee than f injury, ,With the Narrative of the Travas Of Le. Valliant he was before acquainted ;' and "as he went on, he found continual occasion to detca the errors and fidions:of that Traveller. He observed, among' other things, that the Caffrarian Matrons half the privilege of nor being liable to be struck by their husbands ; and yep, • that married pairs'livcd there in enviable unani miry and peace. From, the Country of the Cal frees he turned' Westward, and continued his jour ney in a North-west dirc.saion, till he arrived in, the kingdom of'Angol:i. Among the Muhotians, a race not more sayage, but more egregiously cious than any horde Ilia' had befote visited, discovered the bodies of five Europeans, who appeared to have been cruelly *sacred ; and, was hin4ell exposed to danger; from the unna tural' lust of some wretches of that community. He, however, eScaped from their brutalitY, and after Jong wanderings- - ; came to Malemba, a wal, led town on the river Congo. Its King treated him at first with 'kindness,; but - was 'afterwards persuaded by the Prime Minister to reduc4 him to the condition of a slave, and use bun cruelly. lie ar last escaped out of that Kins'., era: yelled Eastward, and then - again backwatds to the North-west, in a line of Journey nearly con tiguous ° those which are culled by Geogrophers the.Martatains of Moon. After dangers almost incredible, he was made a Slave by the Moors. A Merchant ,of I\4ezzabath, whose pmperty he had become, sold him ,to another who was return ing. to MOroaco With'a caravan from Mecca. He cuss carried btlhis man >to the Sea-Port Town of Azaffe, in the Moorish dominions. A Mr. Van. derhaft, a Dutch Gentleman, there ransomed him' from servitude.' Ha was brought on board a Dutch Merchant Ship to Amsterdam. The inter C. • ,position of a russtan Ship Captain rescued him from detention in Holland: He rook his passage with that Captain to Dantzick, and soon after ar. rived, in the year 1797, at his native town in the Prassian dominions, from which he had been more than sixteen years absent. In An2;ust last his Narrative ,of his Adventures was published at Leipsie, in German. The Innkeepers in several parrs of the Coun. try (says our Correirontlent) hate adopted t h e regubticn °I n* longer tniintsitting their respec. live Post-boys by this measure the) will be better enabled to tneet'the exigence of the times, ana,the Drivers, eomparatively, suffer little, us the liberality of the Public puts them in. A situa.. tion beyond the attalrtnicot of the lower clasen of mankind. ►„
