such thing, here, as boarding by the week
but by the item. What a man eats, ii
itemized; and every item has its price
So that the price of a meal depends upor
what one eats. The German tables do sci
dom groan under the pressure Of profusiou
and superabundance of food Sufficient
supplies, however, are generally at com.
mand. This affords quites contrast, to
the American, whose liberal and indepeu-
dent spirit is always sure to place more
than enough before his guest. With his
fexibility of character, however, as we'll as
frmuess, be finds little difficulty in accom-.
modatius himself to any living circum-
stances. The table dhote, l might men,

zers Cor twenty cents, American coin) per
day, very good boarding can be secured
But room-rent and other incidental expen-
scs are certainly not less than in the States.
One circumstance more occurs to mind,
which We wish our good people at home to
know. This We will relate, and close.
Our original intention was to remain in
Baden during the winter. But all things
not concurring there with our anticipations,
We extended our jourueying into Bavaria,
having partly in contemplation Of going
to Wien (Vienna). In case cf going into
Austria, We were informed that it would
be necessary to have our passports vised
by the Austrian Consul residing at Mu-
nich. We repaired to Munich, and during
our stay there, applied to the Consul. He
refused to attach his name to
them, and gave as an excuse that he dare
not do it, because they were not vised by
he Consul at London or Paris. Whether
this was really requisite aud his excuse
valid, or not, l have not the means at pres
IN, Of deciding. We feel disposed, how
ever, to indulge the opinion that the recent
,ffair at Smyrna has excited general feel
ing of cbagrin and hostility in the govern
ment against our people. This opinion,
TOO, is nightly strengthened, by what We
have since learned, viz, that American
,itizens were not permitted to enter the
domipions since that occurrence
That affair, We find, is everywhere known
md talked about. In. all other places, we
have been respected, and our passports
we're very current. This circumstance de-
ermined our winters residence in Wurz.
burg; and we'll satisfied are We that it was
nothing to our detriment or disadvantage.
Dur company at present, consists Of three,
md We lodge in the same rooms. We
we're fortunate enough to meet with a
-oung man on board the vessel, DR.. Koer- |
'er, from Philadelphia, who had already
AIKEN Degree NJ. d. in Philadelphia, and
ras going to Europe with the intention of
till attending Lectures there. He has
ontinued constantly with US, and rendered
S much service by being able to speak the |
'ermau fuently and also French to the 1
ame extent.
We managed to pass the time quite
greeably, and live very independently,
Notwithstanding We arc in the Kings
ountry. But We are getting very thirsty
Or some news from the Estates" We
ave hardly met an item of American ir-
diligence since We have been on the con-
nent. The newspaper prints here arc of
ie size Of sheet of foolscap; aud what
,cy do contain, would be of very little
Importance to us if We could peruse them
ith any satisfaction. Nevertheless, their
'a.ter is very select, and it is very seldom
lat one sees even the name, " "America,"
! them. The name, however, is familiar
} the most ignorant, and the bare mention
it seldom fails to bring with it an asso-
