RUSSIA AND THE CAUCA-

tJthINo'
The recent arrivals from Europe
bring us further intelligence of the
successes ofthe Caucasians against
the troops of Russia.
We have not at hand the annals
ofthe present war between Russia
and the Inhabitants of the Caucasus,
so that we can state the length of
time for which it has lasted, but we
believe it is six or seven years, it
may be more. III appears to have
been series of successes on the part
of that brave but semi-barbarous
people. They have successfully re-
sisted every attempt on the part OF
the Russian to make himself master
ofther country, and beaten him back
in almost every attack. Thousands
of the Russion soldier J have left
their bones in the passes of the eau
casus; vast sums have been expen-
ded by the Russian government in
recruiting forces TO be beaten, lii pur-
chasing munitions of war to be was
ted, and in casting guns TO be cap
tured by the mountaineers. The
Polish insurection has been put
down; and the Polish race reduced
TO passive submission; Hungary has
been subdued, Germany overawed
oy husSlan arms s!nce the war with
the tribes of the Caucasus began;
and still the Asiatics maintain, at the
point of the sword, the liberties of
