tie in which he !oit 3 part of the reef guard of h.s army. This place is famous also for a battle which the duke Don Philip of Parma, at the head of the French and Spaniards, had with the troops of the King of Sardinia. In looking back frem Aiguebelle towards Chamber!, this city seems placed at your feet; you can trace the road you have passed over and the streams you have crossed, which look like threads of silver in the vast landscape. On the spurs of the mountains you see the ruins of ancient towers and castles' which formerly served for the de fence of the passes, underneath which may be seen cultivated spots, hemmed in by enormous masses of fallen rocks, that serve to prevent the earth from washing away. This is the region cfthe Mi'h Alps. The mountains are steeper, and at ever* turn one sees over his head enor mous rocks that the torrents have detached from the mountain. The inhabitants, male and fe male, are nearly all deformed with the goitre, which many attribute to the crude nature of the snow water, the ordinary drink of the inhabi tants. Others believe that the disease is heredi tary or caused by the habits of the people. Among the Alps there is another race of people called the Cretons, who besides having the goi tre and being otherwise deformed, are nearly all idiots. Most of the mountains are barren and destitute of trees, hut one cannot tail to ad mire the industry of the inhabitants, who leave not a foot of land uncultivated. It is no uncom mon thing to see small gardens on the sunny side of the mountains, made in places that one would think a cat could scarcely climb to, and these made too upon the barren rocks, by means of stron"- walls which serve to catch the earth that is carried down by the torrents. Higher up, the chamois skips from rock to rock and leaps the most terrific chasms, regardless of the bears that growl in the crevices of the rocks, or the hunters that pursue, while still higher up is the region of eternal snow. But we approach Mount Ceiiis. Lanslebourg is the name of the village at its foot. Extra horses are again attached to the ditligence and it takes three hours and a halt to ascend the easy and well calculated zig-zags of this principal mountain of the route. Here and there along this winding road are small houses called houses of refuge, occupied by persons whose business it is to take care of the road and assist travellers. All these houses are numbered, and on the top of the mountain sleds are con stantly kept to take travellers to the foot, which is done in about five or six minutes when the snow is deep enough to cover the inequalities of the mountain. This is about a perpendicular descent of two thousand feet, but there is no danger if one trusts to the experience of the man who guides the sled. At certain points along this mountain, avalanches of snow fall carrying away every thing before them, and it is necessary to be very quiet in passing those points. The bells are taken oft' the horses and travellers do not even whisper, because the least movement of the air might bring a moun tain of snow down upon their beads, and make them turn a thousand somersets among tree tops and over sharp edged precipices, precipitating what was left of them into the middle of a river of cold snow water, in a dark ravine that the sun never shone into. On Mount Cenis there is a hospice frozen over six or seven months of the year. The lake is famous for its trout, but they belong to the monks. The hospital w as founded by Charlemagne, who, in the 9th century, crossed Mount Cenis with his army. The house in actual use, was built by Napoleon. The half of it is now used by a corps of Sardin ian carabineers who examine the passports of travellers and receive five franks per horse, which goes to the repairing of the road. The other half of the building is occupied by some Benedictine Monks, who render assistance grat uitously to the poorer class of travellers, re serving" two or three better rooms for those that ' can afford to pay. The limits of Piedmont are in the middle of the next plain beyond this j mountain. On leaving the plain, one sees a j magnificent mountain on the left called Roch- j melon. On its summit there is a chapel called j the chapel of Our Lady of the Snows. It was formerly much frequented by pilgrims, but it is now abandoned, owing to the danger of ascent. ; But before we commence ascending, we look both ways at the prospects. Before us in Pied- j mont are some of the magnificent plains of Italy, 1 and hundreds of villages with their shining, tin j covered steeples, and behind us are the plains of | Savoy between two range of mountains, from ! which spurs extend into the next valley, and on j every spur there are some ghastly old ruins.— j But one cannot less admire the colossal nature j of these bridges, galleries, w alls and terraces.— They correspond with the colossal nature of the scenery and the genius that planned them. ( The route "of the Simplon, north of this one, ! was still a greater undertaking. Napoleon laid the plan oif it immediately after the battle of | Marengo, and the object of it may be inferred | from a question he put to the chief engineer.— " When can the cannon cross the Simplon The ; Englishman, Sir James Mackintosh, said that of i all useful works, the route of the Simplon across j the Alps is the greatest and most marvellous. — : It took thirty thousand men six years to com- j plete it. It has near seven hundred stone j bridges, and like the route of Mount Cenis, is | about twenty six feet wide, and bordered in | dangerous pfaces on the lower side by a wall three or fuur feet above the level of the road.— These two roads were the first ever opened for carriages over the Western Alps, and in the construction of them, all the known resources of art were brought into requisition to overcome the greatest resistance of nature. But we de scend through galleries cut in perpendicular rocks and over chasms frightful to look into.— Suse is a little city near the foot of .Mount Cenis, which is remarkable for its antiquity; having been founded by a Human Colony, under the reign of Augustus. The only thing in this place, worthy of notice is a triumphal arch, erected about eight years before the christian era, in honor of Augustus. On leaving this city, our course lies along the river Doire, through a wide valley of the same name, which is all one orchard, but the view is saddened by the nakedness of the plain adjoining, which is covered with pebbles and stones washed down by a mountain torrent. We pass through a poverty stricken village of five thousand inhabi tants, on the borders of this desert plain. It contains the ruins of an ancient golhic castle, and a great many idle priests and importunate beggars. Lazzaroni in red caps and bare legs, the color of old mahogany, a multitude of priests in long black gowns and broad brimineu hats, and women in veils and mantillas, are what dis tinguish the population of an Italian city or a large town. The towns, like the populations, are much alike. Ancient looking houses with colonnades in front; occasional streets covered with sheds ; numerous shops full of sausages, macaroni and garlic; with the streets mostly narrow, dirty, and crooked, compose the pn\s iognomy of an Italian town. But we pass through the towns of Ist. George, St. Ambrose, and several other s ainUy places, and arrive at ltivoli, near which took place the battle of that name, famous in the military annals of France. On the way down from the mountains, the tra veller discovers the increasing fertility of the country, "the vine married to the elm," and the country covered with mulberry trees, which bring to mind that Piedmont is famous for the fine quality of its silks. The country improves as one advances, every inch of ground is cultivated and none even is occupied for fen ces. As in France, they have a police for the fields, which answers lor fences, as well as for a guard against thieves. Canal* for watering the country, border the road sides, which are also bordered by shade trees; hundreds of poor women may be seen doing nearly all the drud gery of the fields; fat monks pass you now and then, on some pious pilgrimage, or out^with their wallets on a begging excursion, and you sea looking down upon every town that has a j hill near it, a convent of Benedictines, ol f ran riscans, or Capuchins or Bloodsuckers of some other race that live and thrive upon the igno- i ranee and imbecility of the people. j But we cuter a long straight road in face of 1 the shining don~.es and spires of Turin, which appear on an eminence. The road is in the mid dle of a fertile plain, which is watered by a great number of canals made to disseminate the waters of the river Doire. This is the commencement of the rich plain of Lombardy, which extends across Northern Italy to the city of Venice, and which is considered one of the most beautiful plains in the world. Turin is one of the most ; considerable cities of Italy. It is situated in a | vast plain and at the confluence of two rivers, the Po and the Doire. According to Pliny, it was the most ancient city of Liguria, but ail the monuments anil buildings of his day have disappeared. The principal streets of 1 urin differ from those of all other cities in the sym metry of their building, all the fiouses being of the same height and looking like long lines of j public buildings. The windows of these houses have small porticos, and there is a court or Uol- j low square of buildings back, which is often or- [ nameiited with a fountain, visible from the main ! street, through an arched entrance. One may walk all day about the city of Turin under ar cades, along each side of the street, which is very agreeable in rainy or warm weather. To ; attempt to describe the magnificence of the churches of these cities of Italy would be use less. Tlicy are never entirely completed. Re pairs or additions in some way, are constantly made to tiieni, and the walls of many of them are covered with the best paintings in the world. Ail the religious feeling that can be brought out of marble and paintings, stained glass, and mellow lights, is there brought out, and one is compelled to feel in a religious mood while looking at them. But that is the religion of these countries, and where the devout Italian catholic is out of sight of the crosses, pictures and incence smoke, his religious feelings are all gone. His religion speaks only to the eye, for his mind is not under his own control. Among the numerous churches of Turin, the churchcal led the Consolata is most frequented on account of an image of the Virgin, to which a great deal of devotion is paid. Near this church is the pub lic square, called the Consolata, in the centre of which is a column surmounted by a statue of the Virgin, which was erected for the accom plishment of a vow made at the time of the ra vages of the cholera in the city. Another church is called the church of the Uoly Spirit, and is said to be founded on the spot where once stood a temple of Diana. You are also told that it was in this church that Rousseau abjured Calvinism. The King's palace is nothing re markable in its outside appearance. It is situ ated so as to look down the four principal streets of the city, and it is joined to the palace of the dukesofSavoy by means of agallery. There is another palace called Palace Sladam, or the cas tle. It was last occupied by a duchess, but it is now used for the public exhibition of pain tings. The Senate or Chamber of Peers holds its sessions in the palace, and one of its towers is used as an observatory. The museums of Turin are celebrated, and one feels carried back a few thousand years in viewing its cabinets of Egyptian, Greek and Roman antiquities, among which are statues of marble and bronze, Roman cups and vases of bronze and silver, Roman eagles, gilt tliuuder bolts of Jupiter, household utensils, a charter of the Emperor Adrian, tripods, censers, and cups for shedding tears in, which were placed, full of the tears of Roman mourners, on the tombs of departed friends. "The poor simpletons, to place a cup of their tears upon the tombs of their friends," said the keeper of the museum, who goes around with the visitors and explains. But the custom in these catholic countries of placing crowns upon the tombs at frequent in tervals, would appear no more rational, and yet the traveller cannot but admire these memen toes and regards for the dead, exhibited in Catholic cemeteries. The museum of Egyptian curiosities, at Turin, is considered the best in the world. It contains many colossal statues of the ancient Pharaohs, some of whose names are Osymandias, Tontmasis Ist, Tontmasis 2nd, Amenophis 2nd, known under the name of Memnon, and Ramses 4th, known in history as Sesostris the great. There are also statues of the Egyptian gods, goddesses and sacred animals, mythological emblems, household utensils, agri cultural implements, mummies and manuscripts on papyrus, entirely preserved, and chronologi cal tables of more than a hundred Kings, ante rior to the eighteenth dynasty, indicating the du ration of the reign of each. This collection was made by a French consul in Egypt, to place in the Louvre, but the French government re fusing to pay the price demanded, the King of Sardinia, Charles Felix, in 1623, bought it for the museum of Turin. The ancient money of Egypt and Athens, heads of the ancient Kings of Syria in silver, and heads of Roman emper ors in silver, copper and bronze, may be seen in these museums. But enough of Turin. The King is expected to pass one half of his time there, and the other half at Genoa, but the King, Victor Samuel, spends most of his time at Tu rin, which has tended to render him unpopular with the Genoese. The same was the case with the late King, Charles Albert. Genoa is called the city of palaces, and most of its palaces and churches are built of marble, but its streets are so narrow that many of them are inaccessible for carriages, and as many of the houses are six , and nine stories high, the sun never shines into ; the narrow streets. There is said to be a Yan ; kee speculator living there, who occupies a pal ace that is much handsomer than that of the King. Genoa has a population of about 130,- 000, of which 10,000 are soldiers, and 6,000 arc priests; so that the "sovereign people" are nowhere, and the automaton subjects cannot fail to be powerfully well governed, both spiritually and politically. An American rightly toappre ' ciate American self government, must sec the difference as it exists on this side of the water, i and about the best medicine for Northern and Southern disunionists in the United States, ! would be to make the tour of Europe, and ftrl the annoyances of trunk examinations at the frontier of every petty State, by the custom house officers, and the still mure provoking an | noyance of being obliged to "give an account of yourself and show your passport" in almost j every town you enter: which ends this chapter j of " Alpine solitudes. 1 ' Yours, &0., R.
