There, with well provided redoubi, at the point
where the only road from the inferior splits in Two
towards SebasopoI and Balsklava, you, by yoUr
POSITION, already had restricted The Communications
OF Seoasopn 10 thai, narrow corner, wheFe i, is
your niafofiune 10 be peui up. You would have
cut oil all he supplies from the interior. and no
relnfofcemen's could have entered Sebasiopol,
Hi'hcu having had 10 fghl irs, separately an open
feld battle, wherein The Russians are. certainly,
no match for your heroes. Instead Of that, your
army has been established SO as 10 leave Sebas,o
pol perfectly free TO communicate with The empire
OF Russia Thai is sirafeeicaI error, in my hum
bic opinion, moi even justified By tactical consider
sious. By besei2Iag the norsa, iEsesd OF tie
souh OF SebasoPol, you would have encountered
more Of permanent forIfcaiions, which are no diff
icul:y for Ingenuity. but would have encountered
less OF an enirenched camp, with less Numerous
garrison, which make yopr real difficulty, ard q,
last once the north side OF forsidcalions taken, you
would a. ones have become masters oil the town
alike whereas, The contrary, the taking Of the
town will not make You masters OF The northern
iosis-yau would have 10 return Tor beseiging ihem
10 where you had beuer begun, which is no, more
likely than lhsi afer isking he toHa, you shall

turn, TO sand seige, with The difference that
while you were lhe beseigers Russia had 10 slsnd

would have 10 sand il amidst the ruins, yawninF,
