TOUR TO LAHORE.
(Olvitieredfrtwit kronen paper.)

Mg t h again visited the Rajah Retied
Sisegh, whota I found is, the lower apartments of
the palace. There were two beautiful Puujabee
horses, ',Whetted close •to hum, saddled, bridled,
and ull ready to be mounted. In mail other parts
of that elegant building, were also ',whetted seve-
n.' other horses, though of inferior note, and
beauty, to the two that I have just noticed.

OW the 28th, I visited the- Ruins of Lahore,
which afford a melancholy picture of fallen splen-
dour. These ruins prearnt a striking view of the
influence of tune; and of the vicissitude of all
sublunary things;—the mind is naturally depraved
with a crowd of melancholy reflections, in contem-
plating the exteusive-scenes of dilapidation ; the
image of the greatness and activity of this city in
its former days, rash upon the imagination, and
comparing. those. with the present desolation, the
mouldering ruins, the gloom and death-like soli-
tude. that now envelope the scene, the contrast
oppresses the heart with sorrow, while it mourn-
fully declares the instability of human hopes and
projects, and the vanity of all human pursuits.
Here, the 1..f1y dwelling and the Musjids. which
nut fifty years a4O raised their tops to the skies, and
were the pride of a busy and active population, are
now crumbling into dust, and in less than leaf a
renter, more will be levelled with the grnupd.
In going over these ruins, I saw not is human being;
all was sileocc, solitude. and gloom, in perfect ac-
cordance with the train of melancholy ideas pro-
duced by the surrounding-objects. The decay of
the mosjids and other buildieiga, is greatly accele-
rated in consequence of their having been built
without the use of any lime cement. .This city iii
the days of its glory must have been most splendid
and well deserving the mime it bore of Midi Nuor.
31ith.—On making inquiries respecting the route
to the westward. I am informed that the distance
from hence to Emit is stet less than 105 daps jour-
ney ; 15 from this to Peshavver, crossing ou the
road the four riv, r., River, Chenale Jethro, and
Attu. k. From thence to Cabul eight nays, and
20 days from thence to Kandahar' and very little
water to be met with on the road. From Kandahar
to Herat is a journey of •i 4 days, crossing the two
siren Arkundoo amid Almon. From Herat to
Mushutl is a &Aimee of 16 days journey, crossieg
one river, namely. the Gooresu, and fruin Mushud
to &row 2 days travel. According to the best bi-
formation.that I can obtain. it appears, that from
Lahore to the Attack. there is no danger to he sp.
prehended bysravellers; but from thence to Herat
there is very great danger. front large gangs of:des-
perate thieves and murderers, who frequent that
port (Attie road; but from Herat to Eeraii you tra-

June eth.—To--slay I visited the Rajah's plea-
sure-garden, called the Shalausar. It is situated
three miles to the eastward of the town of Lahore.
It is planned awl laid out in the usual manner of
all large oriental gardens. with long puckish
walks, thiersecting each other at right angles.
and inclosing parterres of shrubbery and flowers.
The wells here are from 3.5 to 40 cubits deep, I
mean that is the depth of earth which they are
obliged to cut before they reach the water.
Tire Rajah, Roojeet Singh, within the short pe-
riod of two years, has reduced to a tributary stele,
all the chiefs who were formerly independent of
him, and occupying the countries from the hanks
of the Jomua to the Stied ; used should no attempt
be made by his urighbours to check his gthving
power, a few years more will make Into very formi-
dable. Soldiers of fortune are coming into his
service from all parts of Hindeostat:, horn as know.

pay lie gives. amid other encouraging contingencies.
that attach to his errs ice.

On the 13th, l'inarched to Surneen and Kul4l,
two villages defended by mud forte, delightfully si-
tuated and cortiniandiug one of the most finely-
diversified prospects that imagination can picture.
The plain between these two villages, which is of
great extent, and the nearest rouge of hills, are
covered with tall grass, of beautiful verdure, and
winch affords shelter to game of all kind•. The
plain is bounded on the South-east by the river
Weals, wliich winds its meandering stream in a
Smith-westerly direction, through a line, oprii, level
country. To the Es.t. and North-east, are three
ranges of hills, the nearest of which is about seven
miles el:stant, and the farthest 100. These last,
which are of great elevation, are either covered with
hoow, or crowned with white cliffs, exhibiting a
grand and captivating prospect, particularly towards
the letter part of the day, when the rays of the de-
,•uto tinge their summits with the rosy tints
of pink, of azure, of violet, and innumerable hues
and shades, blended in endless variety by the pen-
.4l of 'ware, the mole displays a most sublime,
lipainifol, and majestic landscape, heightened by
the contract of the stilt venture ofßtleurilaiiis beneath,
and the winding stream of the , winching/an.
smuttily eutocesis its course, and occasionally opens
its shining bosom to the view. The ladle are ranged
in the turn. of an amphitheatre, and tower above
each other in majestic grandeur as they recede in
tne distance. The enjoyment of this delightful
scenery is increased by a cool, a serene, and elastic
atmosphere. Idu ant believe that even the beau.
titill valley of Cashinire itself, can show a inure
"libitum and pleasing prow et.
