We proceed this day over the mountain, on a steep craggy rocky way, lined on each side with an dismal shade, and sometimes looking down into a frightful precipice. By half an hour after ten we arrive at the limits of the two provinces, which are distinguished by a wooden cross on the edge of the mountain, from whence the prospect begins to open into _Transylvania_. Here my Lord was saluted from the government of _Transylvania_ by Count _Michael Mikes_, as well as from the magistrates of _Cronstadt_ by their deputy, and at the same time attended by a troop of horse, with the colours of the Emperor, as his ordinary guard; upon which the troop of _Cosacks_, which had hitherto guarded his Excellency from _Tergovist_, returned home. In one hour and an half from hence we descend the mountain, and at a narrow passage, where the river _Bozza_ finds its passage out of the snowy hills into the adjoining plain, we arrive at the castle of _Bran_, a small fortress which defends this pass; where his Excellency was saluted, as he passed, with three different salvos of about twenty one guns. Within canon shot of this fort we find a fair set of huts, ready pitched for the reception of his Excellency, with a buttery, kitchen, and other accommodations, provided for his use by the abovesaid Count _Mikes_; who now undertook the care of the public allowance and conduct of his Excellency from this place, as far as _Hermanstadt_. May vii. By six this morning we set forward from the castle of _Bran_, directing our course for _Cronstadt_, being now about two Hungarian miles, or twelve Italian, distant from it. In half an hour his Excellency was met by major general _Glychensberg_, governor of the forces at _Cronstadt_ and the parts adjoining; together with lieutenant colonel _Graven_ of the regiment of general _Rabutin_. The same civility he received from the judge and other magistrates of the city, with whom, and the numerous retinue which came along with them, we now proceed, making a train of a mile long. In the mean time our road lay thro that spot of ground, on which general _Heusler_ was defeated, and made prisoner by Count _Tekely_ in the year sixteen hundred and ninety; as also thro the town of _Rosnaw_, lying in the middle betwixt _Bran_ and _Cronstadt_, where there is a considerable castle, which likewise saluted his Excellency, as he passed, with three repeated salvos. About eleven a clock we enter the city, the castle repeating continual salvos, which we find all in arms, and the streets lined on both sides with musqueteers, as also the whole soldiery drawn up in order in the market place. In this is the house of general _Glychensberg_, where his Excellency was received with all marks of respect and honour, and in an hour’s time invited to a noble entertainment. After diner, by order of Count _Mikes_, we were attended to our several stations, where a Transylvanian gentleman was appointed to act as commissary, or _proveditóre_, in each respective quarter.
