Nothing remarkable occurred on this journey and we arrived at Chambéry in good case. I hired a _calèche_ to go to Geneva, remained there three days and arrived at Lausanne on the 18th December.

I started from Lausanne on the 4th March 1817, and arrived on the same day at 4 o'clock at Geneva. On my arrival at Geneva, my banker informed me that I had been denounced to the police, for some political opinions I had spoken at the _Hôtel de l'Ecu de Genéve_, previous to my journey into Italy, and that I had been traced as far as Turin. I went directly on hearing this to the police, and desired to know who my accusers were, and that the accusation against me might be investigated immediately. Both these propositions were however declined, and I was told it was an _affaire passeé_, and of no sort of consequence; so that from that day to this I have never been able to ascertain who my friends were. I left Lausanne with the intention of paying a visit to my friend Col. Wardle and his family at Clermont-Ferrand, in the Department of the Puy de Dôme, in Auvergne, where they are residing. I staid three days at Geneva, and then set off at 7 in the evening on the 8th March with the Courier for Lyons.
