concluded that nearly the whole force of gunboats and

The destruction of Kinburn Is exploit on which the
allies congratulate themselves If the fortress of Otz
chakoh s destroyed with the facility ships may
be able TO pass into the man before finishing the opera
tons Of the expedition Greater than these it
would be unreasonable to anticipate We the
idea prevails that the fleet may be able to lombard and
destroy Nicoaie, the great Russian dockyard of the
luxne and that in naval and military circles the gues
ton whether the river Bug which Nice'aieM is stu
ted nayigabe to large vessels has been interesting
Recoect;ng the distance OF the voyage about twenty
miles inland from the mouth Of the Bug to Nicoaieh,
apprehend the question whether T4-gun ship could
