A letter from Alexandria, dated August 9, states
that the rise of the Nile was this year accomplished
under the most satisfactory conditions, and that the
harvest promises to be magnificent. The agricul-
tural labourers in Egypt will commence under very
favourable auspices this year.
By the time when this letter will be seen by your
readers the Emperor will be at Salzbourg. As im-
portant matters will be discussed, if not accom-
plished, in that city, some description of it will be
appropriate and interesting. Salzbourg, where
Mozart was born, is one of the most beautiful towns
in Germany. It is situated on the banks of the
river Salza and has a very picturesque appearance.

It was formerly the capital of a small State, whose
sovereign took the title of Prince Archbishop. This
may account for the fact that it contains a large
number of churches,- some of them very beauti-
ful. On the left bank of the river is an old
chateau, which has its legends. Within its walls
the remains of Frederic Barberousse are said to re-
pose. History, however, is not in accord with this
account, for it says that Frederic Barberousse w:
drowned in the Cydnus in Asia during the Crusades,
a river where Alexander the Great very nearly met
his death. The river is dominated by splendid
mountains. The number of its inhabitants is about
16,000. The Archbishop of Salzbourg was formerly
not only Sovereign Prince of a small State, but he
was Primate of all Germany. He extended his
jurisdiction over Austria, Bavaria, and Bohemia,
and was chief Prelate of the whole of Germany.
In 803 Charlemagne visited Salzbourg. Four cen-
turies before that period Attila reigned supreme
there, and ordered the town to be razed. The new
city was built under the auspices of the Duke of
B.,varia. During the reign of the first Napoleon
Salzbourg was occupied by the French. In De-
cember, 1800, Ilia army of Moreau, who had just
gained the battle of Holienliwilen, near Munich,
marched towards Upper Austria, and carried the
lines of the Salza ; and on the 15th of December
Generals Decaen and Lecourbe entered Salzbourg.
In 1805 Bernadotte occupied the town. The double
campaign of 1809 was terminated by the great battle
of Wagram and the treaty of Vienna. By that
treaty Salzbourg was given to Bavaria. It is, how-
ever, situated on the Austrian frontier and the
kingdom of Bavaria, so that both States might
lay claim to it. For this reason in 1809 Salz-
bourg was included in the territories belonging
to Austria, in accordance with the treaty of the
Congress of Vienna. The journey from that city
to Salzbourg m 4 be performed in about eight
hours by the railway which passes through Linz,
