hostilit ties nre expected. There can be no doubt
Of the feasibility Of such plan. If properly

force in this peninsula, it is impossible that ID

the prestige Of Russia, and even her material

bloody defeat, there can be little doubt.
! A well written bulletin may convert fight
into mastery retreat, and drawn battle into
q glorious triumph; but when an important
l territory is occupied for months, it would be
difficult to explain away the disaster, even to
! such public as the Emperor's bulletins adj
dress. Az it is, Anapa might be attacked and
| taken, with some trouble, though with no great
loss 1t would require the whole force Of the
feet, for the Notifications are strong, and high
above the level Of the sea. But unless some
military operations are contemplated In Circas-
| sia, such an attack would be only display Of
| Quixotic bravery.
