country at different points by means Of
steamers. Those arrived, and about 10 ar.

penetrate into the country. 1t is true
there are neither towns, roads, or strong
holds in the interior, and that invading
corps must depend upon their own reaouIs-
ca. But even with these Disadvantages
against them, the Russians ought to be
a6le to penetrate into the interior, and 10
establish themselves in the NEST populous
and fruitful districts.
