     As Moscow, the sacred city of the Rus- 
     
     sians, is just now the scene ofan extraordi- 
     
     nary pageant, to which the eyes of nearly 
     
     all the nations ofthe earth are turned, with 
     
     more or less of curiosity and interest, a 
     
     brief description of the leading local and 
     
    
   
   
    
     historical features by which it is distin- I 
     
    
   
   
    
     guislied may not be out of place. . 
     
    

    
     In point of antiquity, Moscow yields to 
     
     several other Russian cities. Vladimir, 
     
     Novogorod, Kiel, are each of far more an- 
     
     cient orign. The rich foundation of Mr a- 
     
     cow does not date earlier than the ear 
     
     H17; and it was not till the thirteenth 
     
     century that it becauie the residence ‘of 
     
    

    
     rinces sprang from the family. of Rank. 
     
    

    
     he orign of this famous city is involved in 
     
     obscurity ; but it istraditionally referred to 
     
     an adventure ofone of the grand princes 
     
     some tizne prior to the incursions of the 
     
     Tartars. He had heard tniich ofthe beau- 
     
     tiful wife ofs chicftain, who owned a do- 
     
     main in the district, and sent orders for 
     
     both in appear before him. Suspei-ting 
     
     his intentions, the husband refused to obey 
     
     upon which he was accused of contumacy, 
     
     and pot to death. The grand prince visited 
     
     the \\'lllbW ; and often remained ti consi- 
     
     derable time in the neighbourliood,in order 
     
     to renew such attentions. This led to 
     
     temporary dewellings being erected to ac-'- 
     
    
   
   
    
     coniiiiodate his attendants, who attracted‘ 
     
     traders and other persons to the sIl0._|'e°‘ 
     
     quiring tenements. Thus, by inseiisible 
     
     degrees, Moscow arose, destined to become, 
     
     the seat of empire, and to experience vi-' 
     
     cissitodes which have been rarely_ paral- 
     
     leled in the history of any other city, and 
     
     certainly never surpassed. 
     
    

    
     Whether this l.l‘il€lll.l0Il«ll arc-iunt ofthe, 
     
     foiindiiiion of the city be correct or not, 
     
     it is certain that l‘I'U|n ll“? l“”'l"d 0326"’ 
     
     when Archbishop Peter tinsferi-ed to it the‘

     Grand Prince ofthe Litliiianiaiis, was stop-

     Khan Toktamyscli, with better fortune,

     said to have preserved the city from the

     at the commencement of the seventeenth: 
     
     century, the Kremlin was the theatre of it’ 
     
    
   
   
    
     rue sons of the country arid the foreign: 
     
     orthodox Church‘ 
     
     Moscow was trans~l 
     
    
   
   
    
     “ The:

     or, “a heart, breaking spectacle for al 
     
     pious people, iierved the strength of all 
     
     and again engendered miracles. It was 
     
     religion, also, that gave the signal of resis- 
     
     tttnco ; the patriarch Herniogenes calle 
     
     the people to arms, and the quarter of St. 
     
     Sergius was covered with culverins and 
     
     other cannon. All the ellorts ofthe Poles 
     
     were powerless against its walls ; and 
     
     girded with the sword of Gideon, the Rus- 
     
     sians rim to assist in delivering the Kermlin 
     
     where shortly afterwards, the representa- 
     
     tives ofthe nation, raising the house of 
     
     Romanoff to the throne, hailed with an- 
     
     bounded i nthusiasm the accession of a new 
     
     race of orthodox Czars, and the triumph of 
     
     the national cause." 
     
    

    
     Such is the tale which the mime of Mos- 
     
     cow suggests to every Russian". “ There 
     
     is not it nobleman," says the Baron Von 
     
     Haxthtiusen, “ in all the immense empire

     The conllagration, which followed upon 
     
     the French invasion of l8l2, has given to 
     
     Moscow ii tnore modern appearance; but 
     
     the Kremlin reinains,with its peculiar cha- 
     
     racter an strange style, with its messy, 
     
     whiti washed, uneven walls, enihattled and 
     
     pierced with loopholes, siirinoutited with 
     
     towers ofrvery style imaginable, Gothic 
     
     or llvziintine, and displaying in its interior 
     
     a whinisiczil ti.-isc-nililtige nfcliurchcs, mon- 
     
     astcrios, and places, crowded together in 
     
     ll narrow space. This ensemble, which 
     
     call:-' to Illilld the intitnrte llnlotl of religion 
     
     and p vlity, appeals strongly to the imagin- 
     
     tion. A vast number of domes, tnostly

     “On approaching Moscow, by the road 
     
     from St. Peti-rsburg,” says the same 
     
     writer, “ the capital does not display itscll

     derful panorania displayed before you 
     
     excites an involuntary exclamation of

     devoted to popular festivals, which owes 
     
     its name of Devitchc, Pole (the Plain of 
     
     Nuns) to the convent situated at its extrem-

     catne and burnt Moscow once more. Next, ice. ; they occupy a great space, captivate 
     
    
   
   
    
     the eye at once, and form the striking parts 
     
     ofthe picture. In the middle rises ofthe 
     
     hill ofthe Kremlin,abrupt on the side ofthe 
     
     river, and shelving on the opposite toward 
     
     the \Vhite Town, which forms a semicirle 
     
     round the Kremlin and the Chinese City, 
     
     an interesting quarter, from which on the 
     
     cast, it is separated by its walls, and 
     
     large open space. All around this hill 
     
     wind the embattled walls,witli their wliim- 
     
     sical towers, belonging to every style im- 
     
     aginable and above the ramparts stand 
     
     forth in an order more apparent than real, 
     
     clusters ofthose churches, convents, and 
     
     places of no less fantastical and diversified 
     
     forms than those already alluded to. “ Be- 
     
     holding this,” exclaims Schnitzler, in a 
     
     fervour ot' admiration, “ Europe is forgot- 
     
     ton ; this heterogeneous mixture of donjons 
     
     of the tiiiddle ages, of Moorish minarets, 
     
     and Indian piigodas. hovering like an aerial 
     
     city, above the town kneeling at its feet, 
     
     perplexes the senses, and confounds the 
     
     imagination of the spectator dazzled more- 
     
     over by the sparkling rays with which the 
     
     rellectioii ofthe. sun surrounds all these 
     
     richly gilded and brilliantly polished metal- 
     
     itic cupolas.” The Baron Haxthauscn, 
     
     hoiiever tells us that, on entering :he gates 
     
     of Moscow, the impression of grandeur 
     
     produced from the outside is lost ; the city 
     
     is then like any other : nay, has less ofaii 
     
     historical aspect, than ttiaiiy ofthe quaint 
     
     old towns of Germany and the Nether- 
     
     lands.
