The third solemnity was a pompous procession, undertaken to accompany the bones of three Saints, namely, _Sancta Victoria_, _Sanctus Alexander_, and _Sanctus Justus_, from _St. Stephen’s_ to the chapel of the Emperor’s palace in the city. They were newly brought from Italy, where being observed by Prince _Leichtenstein_ in his late embassy to _Rome_, and found to have some relation to Hungary, of which two of them were natives; they were thought proper to be transmitted to _Vienna_, and accordingly purchased very dear, one of them standing him in no less than four thousand florins. In this procession marched all the religious orders, ranked in their several fraternities, except that the Jesuit disposed themselves promiscuously among the laity. After the monks and friars followed the meaner people, to the number of about two thousand; then the gentry, tho in a smaller number; after them a few of the nobility; then the Archduke and Emperor; and last of all the Empress and Archdutchesses. Each person of this numerous train maintained a decent gravity, except the Archbishop of _Vienna_, who being dressed in his episcopal robes and mitre walked like a horse in gaudy trappings, flinging about his legs, surveying his rich vestments, and looking up to the ladies and other spectators, who admired him from the windows, under which he passed. August xxvii. This day I went in a calash, together with Mr. Montague and Mr. _Gaugain_, to _Petronel_, a village on the _Danube_, about twenty four English miles from _Vienna_, seated in the place of the antient _Carnuntum_, where _M. Antoninus_ held his capital quarters to bridle the _Marcomanni_ for the space of three years, and then retiring on account of his indisposition to _Vindobona_ died there. While we were on the road, I was entertained by those gentlemen, with a relation of what they had seen the day before. Count _Sherradin_ of _Bohemia_ had several times shot a pistol bullet into a mark of the size of a florin, at the distance of forty yards. And at this he is said to be so expert, that his pages will venture to hold a florin between their thumb and forefinger, which he dextrously uses to strike without hurting them. The like is sometimes practised by the present King of _Poland_, tho he once broke the fingers of a page in making the experiment. We here saw the remains of a triumphal arch, the _fornix_ of which is yet intire; erected, as is thought by _Nesselius_ and _Lambecius_, on occasion of that _Pannonian_ expedition of _Tiberius_, which is so much celebrated by _Paterculus_[136]. The inhabitants here shewed us various Roman coins, tho none of any noted value. The village now belongs to Count _Traun_, who is descended from _Babo_, count of _Abensberg_, who had forty children by two lawful wives; thirty two of which, being sons, were presented by him to the Emperor, _Henry_ the second, who prefered them all. Count _Traun_ has here a stately palace, called the _Castle_,
