celebrated Salisbury cirular contains these
sentences: "The compulsory alienation OF
Bessarabia from Roumania, the extension Of
Bulgaria to the shores of the Black sea, aud
the acquisition of the important harbor of
Batoum will make the Russian government
dominant over the vicinity of the Black sea-
The acquisition of the strongholds of Armenia
will place the population of that province
