Surest of ibe visit of Vie' Majesty the
Queen to Tunis, Greece. and "raleitine, squirm
'by Louisa ()entrust. Ism been .ittt published by
Messrs. Allman. bookiwilers to the Queen. and
translated by Edgar Canton. This gentleman
acted as nor of the iiiirtpretris ott behalf of her
Majesty during the late proCeeentigs to the llotive
of Lords, in which the internal of Madame fJemont
has beru frequently aboard to. He has since •i•
sited_ Switzerland, ohtaitsinl a copy of the original
journal, nod sir siotentietl edition of it, a which
he rims the following account 'in the introduction:
• I mint here state, Mat at Morley, a small lowlkm distant
about a league from Cotbmhiei, on, the banks of the lake,
s'
I obtained a copy of a Jones', 11 list same voyage and
travels of her Naivety, on a more mutinied male, which
was circulated by Demont after her tiara Is Colontbier.
This Journal correspond. fur the must part astutely in the
'facts, dates, and remarks, with the out now given, with Ibis
differewee, that the style of it is superior, sad the classical
and geographical notices ms much more correct sad entend-
ed, that they must Save been the Wink of subsequent la•
boar and re flexion nu the part of Delmont. The arrange.
meat is nut that of • Joreeal made 'en route,' and the
dereriPtions of 'town. and their diirendeacies are rather the
fruit of marling, than of a' ay Of two's hurried visit. I have
there'd that extracts from thin enure elaborate performance
would not be iuopportause, where they might contribute le
throw more light to the actions of bee Majesty, or on the
profiterole of the writer. It rhould be rematked that this
wee sot circulated till after IXinusit's return bone; the
other was received at Culutribier before that time."
Thr following are extracts :
" On the Sth of June we parsed Gallipoli, at the entrance
of the e:ra of Nl.rrareen, sail on the 7th, at four o'clock in
the asuruang, entered the port of Coastammople. From the
port this immense city forms a maguificiat view. It is
built is the form of an amphitheatre, sad is divided ins*
three districts, Pere and Gelid., the residences of the Chris-
and Constautiaripte that .r slue Turks. The houses
ere all coosirracted of wood, which is frearaily the eau.*
of great coofitgrations, extending even to three or four
thousand houses. If a Are bleak out, no attempt Is made
Ie exti•guish it, unless the Grand Seigimur be present ; and
if be were at • distance, the lowa would be suffered to buss
down whilst awaiting his arrival. On the day of oar at.
rival we dieeiribaiked, and went to reside at the spacious
palace of she British Ambassador. Wiles within the city
it •ppeare far from beautiful, owing to the isarrovratess sail
dirtiness of tbe streets. Her Royal Ingham', her Lady of
Honour, toy sister, and myself, west up in • sort of car on
two wheels, drawn by users, which is the hest equipage the
moony affords; the rest of the household were sr foot. It
is said that the Mosque of St. Sophia is splendid, but nu
Christian is allowed lu enter its preciocts; the Turks them-
selves enter barefoot. Every Friday the Selteu goes to
player, accompanied by his guard. His palace la very
beautiful, mid is sarrounded lay cypress trees; this tree ap-
pears to be the favourite r..f the Turks, far before every
house ohne it one—the effect of which, in this great tetras,
is strikingly pleasing.
" plague breaking oat here, her Royal Highness
was order the occemny of taking a country house. On the
14tb we went to Biutiere' filo en miles distsut from Con-
•tantinople, upon the Bosphorus. Nothing can be hamlets-
ed more enchantisiely beautiful than this canal, which
116111eS the Black Sea and stir Sea of Marmara. Time moan.
talus, on either side, are sprinkled wish villages and
and thereat with vessels laden with merebaudise, passim;
hum sea to sea. We oreasioually made excursions of the
Black Sr., and in one instance we breakfasted it Asia, and
'Lad in Europe. Ou the batiks of the Black Sea are many
fortresses, mud in a small gearless is sera the tomb of a
giant, whir is amid, in days of yore' to have been the king
of that country—it. is sistpfour feet lag. Near it is a
temple, consecrated to Binders, God of Wine."
'• Oar the Bib of idly we set sail from St. Jean
d'Acre for Jaffa, which is distant but half a day's
juatairey. Her Royal Highness purposed going thence,
by laud, to Jerusalem ; but, as we were unprovided
with pompom% the Bey refused to let more than Bye per-
sons proceed. We were, therefore, tinder the mecessity of
relorstrog, on the 6th, to St. Jess d'Acre. The Biy Uwe
was eateelimely pulne, and granted us passports, and as
many horses as we had need of, five hues !cuts for the
journey, and a gaard of Turkish officers to escort say the
country beteg nitrated with roisters and banditti.
On the Sib we commeirced our pilgrimage to the Holy
' Lend : ear compary immolated, in all, of two buedred and
eighty individuals, sod permuted the appearance tot an
army. Ow the nursing of the Silt we arrived at Nazareth,
now a small village, built of stone. Af:er having taken WOW
repose, we visited the chinch, which is built upon the spot
where formerly stood the house of the Virus Mary there
are mime flue paiutisigs in the chilich. Ow the evening of
tire same day, tie set forward •ertio, and arrived oat the
inurtinig of the 10th al Clue, which stands is an flatmate
plain. We reposed trader our tent., but the heat was SO
excessive, that it prevented us illreping; at five o'clock we
dosed, and the • gain costumed its route. Ou the
11th we arrived, in the rimming, at RAMS, where we slept
in the cement of Capacities. A. far se Rama the road bad
beets very narrow sod rocky, third slob brambles, and reit-
smutty up and duwu kill, so that many rat the- cumparuy,
partially overcome by sleep, fell hum their horses. lu the
evruiug, attar having slept and eaters, Of resumed our jour-
ay. Oa the morning of ale 12th we again slept wider our
trots, pitched in theypett 'air. Time toad became more ane-
w:aid, than &foie. At 3 o'clock to thenfternoun we broke up
our truss, and the same evening, al 9 o'clock, reached Jerw.
/SWIM. At our entry, the people assemble) i• crowd. to
