MEMOIRS
Of the Haufe of Savoy, -with fomt account of the
Court of Sardinia.
... p p THE sudden aggrandisement and fpe?dy decline
of the house of Savoy, is ft problem only to those
th endear'd, unacquainted with its history.
The rocks of Mount Cenis proved as lucrative
formerly to the Princes of .Piedmont, as the found I
r does at present to. the Kings of Denmark. Du
e renew , ring the long and bloody wars, between the houses I '
„ of Bourbon and Aaftria, this turnpike road into I
flow, Italy was frequented by each of them, and a toil ''
frown regularly levied on the favored army. Nay, if we 1
believe hiftory,.it was actually put up to au&ion, I '
n and let to the highcft bidder. 1
Little slates, as they possess no real phyficial I F
, strength, provided they enter the vortex of Euro- "
P ean intrigue, muftaccuftom themfeJves tea certain J 0
degree of political and their governors I
nme, must frequently appear in the humiliating but nee
Aired gaze, ceflary character of perpetaal'balance mailers. In "
c " (liort, it is by a change of position alone that they J
w can preserve their and prevent a sudden I
subversion. tl
If was owing to this policy, that the petty Counts oi
of Maarienne became Dukes of* Savoy, and the I V
■nd ; Dukes of Savoy Kings of Sardinia. It is in con- [th
i sequence of a departure from such a system, that m
i, J newl y cr sated royalty has been recently shorn J
ham ? I "® fa r*> after riling in splendour, at the be- IP r
ginning of the present century, (1718) seems but wi
ine." too likely to be firbje&ed to. a temporary eclipse, if G1
nd, not doomed to set at Lft in blood and disgrace. S n

has Ibe iltnation is «n a small valley," which extends
Ive nearly from S. to N. and is not more than thivear
his four hundred yards wide. The distance from A-'
nt, lexandria, the Federal City, and George ■town, is
jly about 100 miles.—The springs iflue from the foot
of the hill or mountain or. the weft, which is pret
al- ty high and sleep—they form so considerable a
Isj stream as to turn a mill within a few rods. The
g, water is perhaps something below the temperature
n. of new milk. At iirft it is not generally re'ifhed
vi as think, but in a few days it is taken in quantities
k8 that are almost incredible. Eyery person repairs to
'' le fp nn si;» where two boys are (latior.ed, and hand

e. "s a house with five convenient baths, which are

c mer, from two to seven or eight hundred persons,

1 I was there—but more were cxpe/ied—they come
; from the tide waters of the Chefapeak, where inter
s mittents prevail, from Alexandria, GorgetoWn, Bal
