gen would not occupy Pendjeh, except with

iarat, not with view Of invading India,
M of continuing her railway from the
R. Casplan Sea and Mery to Herat. and thence
Othe Persian Gulf. This would give her
mmense advantages. He suggested that

.E #Oad from Merry TO the Persian Gull, and
allow Russia to use it on fixed cOndi-

void the necessity of providing the neces-
Mary capital, increase her trade, and at
