This event has a very important bearing on the
✓ecent settlement of the Ea.t, by the Treaty of Paris
in 1838. So far as Transcaucasia was con
corned, the great result of the Russian war had
beer, of course, the extinction of the maritime
power of Russia on its omens. This event was
of an importance to the Christian Principalities
of Aaia which has commonly been overlooked. The
mottority of Russia, up to the outbreak of the war,
is 1834, had been maintained in these States much
more ly sea than by land ; and the evidence of this
truth rests in the fact that the sea-board Principali-
ties were the only ones in which St. Petersburg
could as said to exert any real or considerable power.
In other worth, Russia could rule maritime Trans-
caucsoia from Sevastopol, when she could not rule
inland Transcaucasia through the nage of inter-
seetiog mountains. When, then, the Russian fleet
in the Entine was destroyed, the Christian Princi-
palities seemed likely to regain a groat part of their
independence, though no stipulations in their
interest were contained in the Treaty of
Peace. Russia could no longer control them
by sea ; and there was nothing but the
old disheartening struggle in the Caucasus to
trust to for the re-establishment of her dominion.
litho mountaineers could but have held their own,
the Asiatic effects of the Treaty of Peace would per-
haps have been greater than the European. It is
probably owing to the blow thin struck in the
Crimea at the progress of Russia in the Transcanca-
Man provinces that the late vigorous efforts for the
subjugation of SCIIANTL have been mad*. The
