FORTIA’S TRAVELS IN SWEDEN. 561
which you have for fome time a very pleafing view of a lake-—To Lindova the fame
bad road.—To Belloftrova the fame or worfe: in this ftage you pals the little river
Se/tra over a bridge, on the fide of which is a poft, which indicates the commencement
of the government of Peterfburg. The poft-mafter at Bielotoftrow obliged us to také
an 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 all
upon the road.—To Dranitzuiko/ki 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 werfts together, un-
lefs you would rifk your carriage being broke to pieces:—To Peterfburg the road not
fo 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 Fredericfham and Wyburg you meet with a number of
redoubts, con{tructed during the laft war; from before you reach Borgo, you pafs over
a part of the theatre of the war. ‘The country is but little wafted, much lefs in Ruffia
than 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 lefs
peopled, worfe cultivated; the villages become exceedingly rare, and nothing but mi-
fery is feen: if Frediricfham and Wyburg be excepted, not a poft-houfe is there to be
found which has the flighteft accommodation, no bed, no furniture, and abfolutely no-
thing whatever to eat; frequently even there is nothing but a ftable, 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. The
inhabitants appeared in an abfolute {tate of deftitution, the peafants clothed in rags; in
fuch a picture do we dee the effects of a government fo different to that of Sweden.
