VOYAGE TO RUSSIA.
A late F. ench paper contains Journal ot

abIe,ialed the following notices OF some oil the
points Of land and places which the voyaser
passes after entering The Sound.
The shores, on both sides Of that strait at
favourable SEASON Of the year, present me most
fertile aud delightful appearance. mere IS al
abundance Of woodland, the houses ana towns
are well built. and tie passage OF The numerous
vessels which are generally to be seen, add al
agree able liyelinrss TO The scene.
Elsineur appears on the right, on entering
the Baltic, and though built Of brick, aud
no, very large looks hourishIng. Kronbers
castle marks the proper limit OF the SOUND,
and has charge of the regulations esratlshed
on the navigation. IL returns the salutes OF
men of wal, and exacts an autho lied sum from
merchant vessels. On the opposite Swedish
Coast, stands Helsimbors, like the twin sister
Of Elsineur.
The coast seen,in proceeding 10 Copenhagen
is highly beautiful being ornaments q win hne
groves and elegant buildings. The Isle oil
Huen, which is left on the larboard In steering
for Copcnha zen, is no sooner passed than me

coast of Sweden, an important port, and con-

handsome houses, and splendid hotels, sui
presents few fine pubic buildings. The king
palace parll destroyed by fire, is large irreg-

square. The Exchange Is large building,

from great distance. The city appears ILL.,
peo2led, and In a condition by no means pros
porous.
The island of Bornholm, few hours sail be-
yond, is neither well o"ded nor well peopied
Courand, some distance beyond, is low, sandy,
and covered with bushes.
In The gulf Of Livonla, the water is reddish,
and Still less sat lhan that Of the Baitlc. Kus'
san island IS very woody. On approaching
Riga, the sleepes are seen from distance.
The shores of he Dwina spread off far Oh Ell
lher hand, and are lhickly scattered with poor
villages, of an appearance by no means attract
i've. During the season wnen the river is nav
ig bic, the greatest activity prevails among the
shipping. Not less than TWO thousand foreign
vessels enter it annually, and although many oil
them remain al the mouth, large number go
to Riga The town Is not agreeable, having
crooked and dirty streets, although possessed OF
great wealth.
