Illustration.
Composite 10 our enCampment on the other
side Of The Alazann, and al distance oi elgn-
teen or twenty wersls, is the city oil Beloliakan'
situated al the foot Of the Caucasus, and inhao'
tied by the Eingaivs, people whom the Les
ghis keep in the mos, horrible state OF slavery,
s who formerly belonged to Georgia; bat VINO
being too industrious, * attached 10 their naive
soil, would never abandon II, during ne dli-

Aezern iuring spoI ting expeditions, roll on
the table Disguised at this action, Which "a
mong these barbarous mount aineers would
pass as an excel cut Joke, we all rose ON the
table, and retired 10 another apartment, whilst
thu Eingala sat down to dinner, and at evely
mnuthfu! he took, amused himself with turn
