JOURNAL OF A TOUR FROM CADIZ TO SEVILLE.
BY A BOSTONIAN.

(Continued from page 310.)

We reached La Brija about four in the afternoon. It is a miserable, squalid looking place, though it contains several thousand inhabitants. The day before our arrival there had been upwards of eighty French prisoners massacred by the inhabitants. This did not contribute in our minds to give it a more lively aspect. These unfortunate wretches belonged to the army of Dupont, a detachment of which was stationed under custody here. The intemperate behaviour of one of the French officers gave rise to this melancholy event. A party of them were dining together in commemoration of some anniversary, when, being heated with wine, and enraged at the insolence of a centinel placed at the door, this officer drew his sword and plunged it into his body, This rash act immediately occasioned a tumult, and every Frenchman that could be discovered fell a sacrifice to the fury of the populace. The life of the general and his aids was saved by the exertions of a priest, not without great difficulty. The remainder of the prisoners were withdrawn secretly at night by the magistrates, while we were there, and sent to Cadiz.

There is an ancient Moorish castle at La Brija, and a handsome church containing some paintings of Murillo. These are the only objects in the place worth a moment's attention. The posada, at which we alighted, did not present the most flattering aspect, nor did we anticipate from its appearance very sumptuous accommodations. We found it to be most truly in the Spanish style, and a pretty correct specimen of the ins of Spain. On entering the court yard the first object that saluted our eyes, or rather our noses, was a most filthy hovel, which proved to be the kitchen, filled with every thing unclean, and from which every thing unsavoury issued. The adjacent apartment was appropriated to the pigs. These agreeable in

mates are generally looked upon as members of the family, and as such they enjoy equal rights and privileges with the rest of the household. They have at all hours free ingress and egress, which liberty they do not fail to make use of to the fullest extent. They seemed however to be more particularly attached to the kitchen than to any other apartment. The room contiguous, and immediately communicating with the kitchen, we perceived to be occupied by another description of cattle. This, of course, we concluded to be the stable, though by no means devoted exclusively to the four-footed gentry. The utmost equality prevails among the inhabitants. The mules share the apartment with their masters, both by day and night. They eat at the same table, and lie on the same couch. Stretched along the straw, with his eyes half shut, by the side of his long-eared companion, it seems a matter of doubt whether the muleteer or his beast is the most rational animal. The room allotted to us was a long hall above stairs, immediately over the last mentioned apartment. This, we understood, was destined to serve us for more purposes than one. After having been made use of as a dining room, it was to be converted into a bed chamber. There is no better sauce for travellers than hunger, and as not many among our party were afflicted with a want of appetite, we set to with a keenness that would have astonished an indifferent beholder. By dint of the provender we had brought from Xerez, which was not in a very sparing quantity, and with the aid of some few additional articles procured at the inn, we contrived to make what might any where be called a tolerable repast: at least none of us complained of hunger when the meal was finished.

We resolved to set out very early on the following morning, and as it was Sunday, we were under the necessity of making arrangements for hearing mass betimes. To hear mass on a holiday in Spain is much more indispensable than eating breakfast. Without submitting to this ceremony, no

entreaties would have induced our muleteers to stir. Accordingly, as we were not desirous that they should risque the safety of their souls, we despatched mine host in the evening to look for the curate. This reverend personage was not long in making his appearance. If you recollect the description of Parson Trulliber, I need not draw his picture. Like that gentleman, his figure was nearly equilateral, that is to say, he was as tall when he lay on his back, as when he stood on his legs, His face, which was the emblem of good eating and drinking, was as round and as red as the full moon or it seemed, to make use of a more sublime and appropriate simile,

"As when the sun, new risen, Looks through the horizontal misty air, Shorn of his beams."

Do not imagine that I wish to infer a resemblance between him and his Satanick majesty in other respects. There was

no necessity of much persuasion to induce the good curate to seat himself at table. He did this without being asked. He passed very high commendations on the quality of our wine, and to convince us that he spoke his real sentiments, he drank near two bottles of it. He proved to be a great politician, a violent patriot, and an eternal talker. These qualifications made me think him no small bore. We bargained with him for an early mass, and that he might not fail of attending as soon as we wished, we promised to give double the usual price. We here struck on the right string.

Our hostess, finding we were disposed to retire to rest, brought in mattresses of straw, the only species of beds that the house afforded, which she placed in a range along the stone floor. Some of them were furnished with two sheets, some with one and a half, but the majority with none at all. These couches were not the most luxurious, but it is said that there is no better soporifick than fatigue, and in this country travellers must not be fastidious. The preparations that were making did not in the least discompose our guest, the parson. He still stuck to the bottle, and his tongue ran as if it would never stop. Our wine and company were so much to his taste that he turned a deaf ear to all our hints. He heard them with the most perfect indifference and determined, broad as they were, not to understand them. Finding him in this disposition, we suffered him to take his own way. Accordingly he continued sitting until one half the company were in bed, and the other half undressed, before he thought it advisable to take himself off.

One of our companions, who was a great politician, and who had sat at table argufying with the curate, long after he was forsaken by every one else, from patriotick feelings, and good fellowship, drank a bottle extra. This was unfortunately more than he could digest, and he became very obstreperous. It had been well for the company, had he manifested no other symptoms. But scarcely were we five minutes in bed before so violent a revolution took place in his stomach, attended with such potent effects that none of us could stand the shock. This agreeable serenade, with appropriate groans and exclamations, continued for near three hours with little intermission, during which time all attempts to sleep were, as you may suppose, abortive.

On going to bed I felt very tired, and hoping to enjoy a more comfortable nap, I had the imprudence to take off my clothes. Of this I in a short time most bitterly repented, as I was assailed from every quarter by an army of fleas. Having made many ineffectual efforts to close my eyes, after our noisy fellow traveller had become quiet, I was compelled to get up and put on my clothes. This, however, was being wise too late.

I
