dominant wind, and interpose a barrier of temporary barren-
ness between Eupatoria and any besieger. I say temporary,
because it is the general practice to burn the surface in the
mouth of August, such a proceeding being considered ad-
vantageous to the growth of the young grata ; and, if a be-
sieging army is to come by land from the north in sufficient
strength to attack a force of 40,00 C men in Eupatoria,
there will 4.)e plenty of time to get in the hay before its
arrival
• _

There is, however, together with those advantages, one
great drawback to the assemblage of a large force at Eupatoria.
The supply of water is said to be deficient in quantity and bad
'in quality; I suspect it ia derived from wells very near the
shorb, and is probably filtered from the sea, and brackish ;
[ but-the t )wn once contained a consideuible population, as ap-
' pears from the circumstance that when the Russians eutcred
it (and burnt it) in 1736 there were 2,500 private houses in
it, inost of them built of stone. Pallas speaks of-it having
bean tormerlysupplied by pipes from a reservoir at some dis-
tance frOm the walls, and says that the water was raised into
this by the constant application •of horse-power, out of a
in his thee (1794) scarcely a trace remained, and -that- the
" very ge,al and deep well." Of this, however, he adds that
wretched wells in the town were the only available sources.
It occurs to me, sir, that here wo English have an occasion
on which We may advantageously put forth our Peculiar
resources, by sending forthwith, before the bad water has
begun its work of destruction in the camp of our ally, a regi-
mentnot by
