Rejecting on the time which the juncture of these
fleets has required and again the time which their

REQUIRE il becomes plain that to do nothing either in
the Baltc or in the Black Sea is the great object OF
these propositions.
The only poiut on which the Russi:ns-apart from
their unforeseen and unexpected defeat at oihstria-
