EXTRACT OF' A LETTER FROM A TRAVELLER,
DATED FROM MOSCOW.
" 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
-altogetlier 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 ferwtimago,, as the Earl of DtiAFTESI3I.IItY
was, passiit.tliroLigh Salisbury, on his way from
Giles's.Houhe to visit the Earl of Ntw.
BURGH, in Sussex, having changed horses at the
Antelope-Inn,' the new.mourited drivers mistook
the shutting, of the carriage-door for a signal that
.alLwas ready, and drove off full-speed with the
,etury carriage, his Lordships being in the house.
" 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.

A few days since as Mrs. WILLIAMSON, Wi.
/LOW of the late unfortunate Captain NV i t. t, i A 1543011,
of the Royal Navy, was standing near the chim.
ney, in her lodgings in Oxford-road, her clothes
accidentally caught fire ; but fortunately a hack-
ney-coaclunan perceived the flames through the
window from his coach-box, and by his timely
assistance saved her life, which was in the
greatest danger.
