A great plain, extremely monotonous, and in general very deso-
late, extends from Adrianople to the vicinity of the capital. The
only places of any importance in it are, Kirk Kills'', an unfortified
town, 40 miles east from Adrianople, sod 80 south from Bourgas ;
a second town named Bourgas, 15 miles south of Kirk Kilissi ;
Tebourlu, which Mr. Galt found in ruins ; and &Ueda, a trading
town on the north side of the sea of Marmara. There is, so far as
we can find, nothing deserving the name of a fortress between
Aidos and Constantinople. Mr. Walsh describes the country as a
" fertile desert," up to the very walls of the capital, which is sur-
rounded, he says, by a degree of solitude, silence, and desolation,
nearly as great as encircles Palmyra. In the first hundred miles of
his route, he did not see a tree. An active and pretty numerous
population is only found in the woody region of the Balkan ridge
and its branches, where the natural strength of the country. and
the small proportion of the Turks, gives the Christian inhabitants
some degree of security. Mr. Walsh describes the latter (the Bul-
garians) as industrious, hospitable, cleanly, and good humoured.
They have a language of their own, which is on the Sclavoiric or
Russian stem ; and they adhere to the doctrines and ritual of the
Greek church. It need not surprize us that they prefer being
ruled by men of their own faith, and hail the Russians as
deliverers.

Constantinople occupies a triangular point of land, having the sea
on two sides, and communicating with the plains of Thrace on the
west. The circumference of the town is about 12 or 14 miles, but
more, if we include the suburbs of Pera and Galata. The walls
extend entirely round it, but the water forms its best defence on
the South and North Sides. On the west side, where the penin-
sula connects with the land, the triple walls. which are about four
miles In length, are, according to Mr. Madden, in a wretched
state. " The fosse is in many places quite filled up with rubbish ;
behind it, bree walls are placed at short distances, the last of
which is Banked with towers. The walls are in such a ruinous
state that a very few balls would bring them to the ground. On
the Adrianople side they have tumbled all together, and have been
replaced by* tingle wall of no strength. On this side, Constanti-
nople certainly would not stand a siege of ten days. The water is
supplied from without the walls, and the consttuction of the city
is such, that a doses bombs and rockets could hardly fall within
its wooden precincts without producing a general conflagration."
Mr. Walsh says the cistern within the city contains a supply of
water for six days only ; and that an enemy, by closing the aque-
ducts without the wall, could soon compel it to surrender.
Water might, however, be brought in limited quantities by sea,
If the Turks remain masters of the sea of Marmara and the Bos-
phorus. The population of the city has been wantonly estimated,
but according to a very recent, and, we believe. pretty accurate
statement, it amounts to 380,000, of whom lather more than one-
fourth are Greeks, Americans, Jews, and Franks; the rest are
Turks.

The natural canal of the Bosphorus is about twenty miles in
length : and its breadth varies from half a mile to a mile and a
half. At three of the narrowest points it is commanded by heavy
batteries which close it effectually at present agAinstAdmiralGreig's
fleet ; but when General Diebitsch reaches ha western bank, and
gains possession of the batteries there, he will probably soon be
able to silence those on the Asiatic side, and open the canal to the
Russian ships, which will then advance to the capital, and complete
the blockade by co-operating with the army.
