About at/with in a sentence?
Dear all,
I came across with the following sentence:
"By far the most frequently visited country in 1999 was France at* approximately 11 million visitors, followed by Spain *at 9 million."
I wonder if the first 'at' is used properly here. As I see it, it's more apt to use 'with', in view with the 'visitors' following behind. And the second 'at' seems okay for me.

Thanks. Now after looking it up in my dictionary I know it's 'come across' instead of 'come across with'.
