which you Trave for fome time a very pieafing view of a lake.—To Lindova the famebad road.—To Bellojlrova the fame or worfe : in this ftage you pafs the little riverSejlra over a bridge, on the fide of which is a poll, which indicates the commencementof the government of Peterfburg. The poft-mafter at Bieloioftrow obliged us to takean additional horfe, without giving us any reafon wherefore, but that it was his will.The poft-houfe is on the right, out of the high road, and is by much the neateft of allupon the road.—To Draniteiiikojk't the road very bad and out of repair, full of holes,roots, and trunks of trees ; fo that you are obliged to go flow for werfis together, un-lefs you would rilk your carriage being broke to pieces.—To Peterfburg the road notfo bad, yet far from good ; this whole ftage is paid double.
After pafling Wyburg the country is much better cultivated than that which is tra-verfed to reach it. Between Fredericlham and Wyburg you meet with a number ofredoubts, conftrudted during the laft war; from before you reach Borgo, you pafs overa part of the theatre of the war. The country is but little wafted, much lefs in Rufliathan in Sweden , owing to the different manner in which the two nations make war.Soon as you enter Ruffian Finland you perceive a vifible change; the country is lefspeopled, worfe cultivated ; the villages become exceedingly rare, and nothing but mi-fery is feen : if Frediridhatn and Wyburg be excepted, not a poft-houfe is there to befound which has the flighted accommodation, no bed, no furniture, and abfolutely no-thing whatever to eat; frequently even there is nothing but a (table, which fcarcely fhel-ters the horfes from the weather. In many houfes we faw nothing but a naked bed-ftead, the fame as that at a corps de garde, a table, and fome wretched chairs. Theinhabitants appeared in an abfolute ftate of deftitution, the peafants clothed in rags; infuch a picture do we fee the effects of a government fo different to that of Sweden .
