guards, &c. from the frontiers. About three o'clock
in the evening of the 24th inaant they marched into
the town, and halted on the Englifh line, which
fronts the Neva, where they were reviewed by the

thrown over a canal which divides the ftreet, and
before me the fine regiment of huffars, and the ofli
cers in front, with rich drefres of (cadet trimmed with

The Afshenteis flat took the town, and then pro.
