patches have been received from Lord Karrn which,
on grounds which cam bardl y be queltioned, Rate "that

cruizers under the command of bis Lordiltip, who
had fpoken feveral neutral weals whiiirwars making

large dosiceurs to procure permileou to depart.

To the above we have to add the following combo.

defined to fetve in the feet, rind as only two men
were taken out of every five hundred in the Empire,
this will make the claire% liable to furnilh recruits
to am.unt to eighteen millions and a half of males.
to which if we add the fame number of fe
males, we (hall have 37 millions. Bur, as recruits
are levied only from among the boors and citizens,
the other chafes being exempted, there will be no ex.
aggeration in efimating the whole population of Ruf-
fin at forty millions, without including thufe who are
above or under the age fit f r military fervice.
The public revenues of IkulLa are in a fate equally
flourifhing ; for we can alert, on the bell authority,
that they.amount to to millions of roubles (about
