On the side where she is conterminous with Russia,
" urkny originally possessed a triple line of defence:
\iz. first,tin* Principalities; secondly,the Danube; und,
thirdly, the famous range of mountains which divides
Bulgaria from Ruuelm. The first of these lines of
defence has been frequently broken through, and is
now almost totally abandoned; the second, though
more formidable from the chain of fortresses with
which it is strengthened,may also be passed bv an i n
terprising enemy, who has a Hirer sufficient either to
besiege or blockade the principal fortified places, un«!
thus to keep open his line of communications, n.s weli
us secure a retreat; hut the last has a 1 wavs been re
Sarded as presenting insuperable obstacles to an inva
er, and in fact, bus hitherto proved an impassabh
barrier to the Russian legions. It is to this might!
frontier rampart, reared by the hand of nature, that \vi
t-hall, therefore, in the first place, direct our attention
flic breadth of that formidable range of mountain:
cnrirmly known by the name of llamuis, and mnv ie,
that of the Balkan chain, varies from thirt v to nineti
niih.*fi, and in intersected with numerous defiles, thro
w hich there are only three roads at all calculated fbi
t ho passage of an army; and of these, theve is not on<
which does not present the greatest difficulties to tin
transit of artillery und commissariat supplies. Then
is indeed u fourth road which may he passed by car
riagea, but lies consideruldy to the west, and ulloge
ther beyond the intended line of march, ft runs Iron
Orsova and Belgrade, through Nis-a. Sophia. Tartar
Bazarjik and PhiHjppopnlls, and llienc • follows tin
ennrs* of the Maritza to Adrianople. The road thro
r iioutnla to Adrianople is the centre one. That tc
the right runs from Rudsrhuk or SSestova. and passe:
through Ter nova, Kahrova, Kezunlik. Kskv-Sagra
and Jozzar-AIustapha, t.o tn»* Marilzauml Adrianople
while the one on the left sets out. from Hajjy-Ordoo
Bazarjik, and passes through Kazlipy, l’ravady,° Ai
dos, Onmr-Fnkih, and Kirk-Kilissio. to the snnn
point. Rut of nlHhesc * lie most practicable route is
that which leads from 11: * * fortresses ufKiul'Cliuk a1
bhliatrin, through Unsgrud. Choiimla (or Kskv-3uma
Carnalmt, and Papasiy. to Adrianople. Tim distance
from fJuHimla to ( anialiat, however, winch is reck
oned about 75 miles, presents obstacles of to formiilu
bii <i nature, that, though ti*»• in them elves iiisupcru
bioto perseverance and enterprise, a handful of mm
h v* 1,11 Uimny;un:i! io nn iuvu<un<r ur
my, anil inflict upon it severe’ losses almost vvitli°im
punity. Every one acquainted with ancient history
is aware how roughly Hannibal was handled, in tin
course of hi* passage* across the Alp;, by the will
tribes inhabiting the recesses of these mountains; how
many perils he encountered; how narrowly ho escapee,
total destruction: and with how much diflicultv he win
able, notwithstanding at! his genius, reseurresand pi**.
Hence of mind, to save half of the army with which hi
had begun the ascent and entered the defiles. .\">i
is it loss notorious th it. Napoleon, who had no enemy
ntollto encounter.executed a similar imterpri -e at th’
very greutcrsl hazard, an 1.1*. < cndod into tile plain wi.l
his army considerably reduced in numbers, and in r
state ot ;otal disorganization, Indepeiideiitly of al
opposition, indeed, the after subversion of order am
discipline, produced by attempting to march a remilai
urmy through mountain defiles, is of ifsell no eunall evil
nay a source of hazard, where an enemy is io be on
countered the moment the invaders debum-lm front th?
pass; and in the ease where an attack may in* effect
od in the defiles tin m~elves tins disorganization met
lead to reverses of th..* most fatal description. \\\
may add, that from ('arnahut to Ailrianople. vvfsicii i:
likewise n!>oiit seventy miles, the country tlimurj, di
visited of its grander features, presents many ^tron
positions and points of defence, of which an enemy ac
quainted with the country could scarcely* foil to avni
himself, and which would enable him at every step t<
oppose with adv ntage the progress of an invader.
But had as are the roads through these mountan
defiles, they are not impracticable to the transit o
artillery, since the Porte has reoentlv t.ransniiitei
through them 200 additional pieces of ordnance f01
the defence of Phounila and CJilistria. These, how*'
ver, he it observed, were transmitted by ihe Eovenv
m<>nt of the country in lime of peace;—'how differem
iwj it be for the invaders, should tiieir every step hi
disputed, when the lengthened lines of cannon, *>
tumbrils, and of carriages loaded with provisions am
provender—for men and cattle must equally have thei'
ibod carried along with them—will lie'checked a
every rocky precipice, every narrow pa*s, hv Mu
fierco defenders of the .Moslem throne! Jn such ;
struggle the natural obstacles that render the assail
ants so formidable, f ir ilvHe the exertions of the as
sailed; and neither numbers nor discipline? will <rUj,
the day, because, in stmli a .situation, they cannot bt
bronghl into action. Hut ev.?n tliecannon which the
Porto sent bv land to Ciioumla and Siberia were only
pieces of small calibre; no others could have been
thus transported; and, accordingly, the iieavv ordnance
required for the fortresses north of the Hall.uu have
always been transmitted by sea to Varna, and thence
conveyed t.o their destination. Hence the Russian":
must transport by sea. uiu! must land in Rum *lia, their
heavy artillery, or th-Tzar will have nothin^ l,„t
muskets and six-nom. 1 to with which to b.itth* tic
Jlcrafrlio.
With respect to She Turkish fortresres, ;hev have
not, we believe, been constructed on nnv tliin-r liko
scielifilic principles; and those who have exa mined
Jjislc, Valenciennes, or !.»orgen-op-/.oo‘iij, would pro
bably be inclined to form n very contemptible opinion
of even Choumla itself. But the natural defences of
rocky positions, though only surmounted with thick
walls, flunked with bastions which Vatibun or Oochorn
Would have sneered hi with the utmost disdain, have
often proved, to the Turks, barriers of strength, which
neither the courage, the discipline, nor the numbers
oftheir enemies have enabled them to break through.
For nothing, indeed, are to the Ottomans more distin
guished than the indomitable energy with which they
defend their rude unscientific fortresses and fortified
camps, fn this respect they somewhat resemble the
Spaniards, who otteii redeem their in; ■conduct in the
field by the obstinate heroism with winch they fight
behind walls, and under cover of intrenchmcnfs; and
who, in the late Peninsular war. immortalised thom
t-vlvcs by t he defences of Haramissa and Corona. On
♦ lie Danube tor extuinde Brnuiiow. after vust shm'-h
ter of the bcsj. gors, uurrendcretl; and such was the
terrible nature of tiic defence, that the garrison was
allowed to inarch oft, with nil the honours of war,
for Silisf.rki. n :»iii more important fbrfr'vs which
occupies ttie ftth.Uiw of a large division of the Hes
sian army, while another division cries aloud for
Miccour, apprehensive of come movement in its rear
by the Pasha who commands in YViddin. Ail this
and inure is behind the .Autocrat; and before him are
Varna, and Choumla, and the Balkan.
Varna is the sea, and Choumla the land, key of
ttumelia. When the Russians, after six or seven
years occupation of Bulgaria, attacked the latter place
1010, the Pasha, after they had retired in dismay,
precipitately retreated beyond (he Danube, wrote
a sublime Porte that he had cut off us many flus
’ ends as would form a bridge to the moon;—an
.cal hyperbole, doubtless, but, even in ifs oxn'wi r
.,on, significant enough of the loss unstained by lire
assailants before this rude and admirably situated for
tress. Even in the late operations on the same
ground, the Hussions must have had many thousands
placed horn tic combat, since all the attacks made by
t.he besieged have been eharneft mod by the most
i'nrious impetuosity, and some of them have been
crowned with complete success; so much so, that the
nominal assailants were first reduced to act on the
defensive; 2dly, to concentrate their forces, abandon
ing for the time all idea of investmer.*; and lastly, to
quit the works they hatl constructed and retreat to a
distance of about seventeen miles. Varna, though
lew indebted to natural posit ion, is artificially strong
er than Choumla, and can only fail by n combined and
ably-conducted attack, uy both sea and land. To
such an attack it is now exposed; and, if we may
credit the accounts which the Russians think fit from
*tt*o to Hrne to ptibb:b considerable progress ha?
Jr*
been made towards tin: r* dm iiou uf thophn’e. Rut*
Un si* amounts arc evidently partial and imperfect.
; and some circumstances are allow***! jur mem •• m *p
transpire which tend to excite suspicions that tin*
pi ogress made in tin* siege bus not be* n so decided ns
j the Russians would wish it to be believed. For e.\
i ;ituple in tiie very last bulletins, it was admitted that i
; UP l" t-b*- time of the Emperor’s return from Odessa,!
und the arrival ut reinforcements of Guards. &r., the
besieged occupied a redoubt m the reri/ miihl/c of the
; Russian works, and liil this period the besiegers were
; m no condition to attempt* the investment of the
| place, which is iri nil probability not yet completed.
At the same time, th<* Russians will doubtless attempt
j*o carry it at whatever cost, ’i'iv* possession of
j \ arna is not merely indispensable to the prosecution
ulterior operations, '• it is necessary to enable the
Russians to maintain, during the winter mouths, the
ground which they at present occupy, and prepare i* >r
resuming the campaign in the ensuing spring. All
idea of reaching Constantinople this "’season* is, of
' course, entirely out of the question.
(! 1 tills, wliil** the third line of defence, which we
have mentioned, presents obstacles so considerable—
• hiih**rfo, jndrvd, invincible—the invaders have only
; passed l!i< ir army over the second lim* (tin* Danube)
without, having uncle themselves masters of some <•!*
. i's most important fortresses, which «ro said to be
. well supplied with uil sorts of necessaries, and nmne
: rously garrisoned. fn tiie event of retreat, therefi re,
. | those must present alarming obstacles to a discomfited
i army,while their capture ut un earlier period could
I !,u>l ll**,'<’ heoti elfccte.l without great loss both of time
. j and numbers.

iimiu hi.- forces and supplies, and to prepare for a new

J \ i.itt respectfully take leave to return vv parti m
j *ar thanks to thus.: planters who have boons. • friend
j iy as to intrust the management of their Tobacco to me
j us Salesman at the Public VVurehouec. I hope it is
i not nooessary for me to say, that ci\ best exertions
; have been used to render general satisfaction. I again
i tender them the same attention, nay more, ns inv Iv-alth
! I trust has been restored.— 1 would here remark to mv
j friends tor whom I have done business, as well as m
! ».y others lor whom i hope to bo en gaged, tliat this no
ti<'o would not have been introduced upon them, but for
.ue offer ol Mr. hackland to do business at the same
place as a competitor. Our friends will please direct
> heir 1 obacco to one or tlie other ot us as they mav see
cause, which will save any thing like contention, it
should not b** expected that when there is fair
competition in this way that the inspectors would
fs-1 themselves in any way interested, particularly
it the same patronage is extended to the Ware-house,
as heretofore by the Planters. Should any Tobac
co be directed t<> the Ware-house without specifying
nnv preterenee in tlie Salesman,the owner wifi rt>
cebeet tnat he lias tlie rigiit to choose for himself
even on the day of sale. The siination of sales
man is in no v ay connected with any of the
other duties of the Warehouse. Consequently,
it is held alone by the patronage of the Planters
and dealers. Surely 1 can give no better evidence of
my attachment to tlie interest of the Planters, and rny
anxiety to promote their interest, than to annex the
following names, composing a largo majority of the
principal buyers, who have kindly directed mo to
give reference to them by way of shewing their s;>
tisiaction to my mode of doing business ns Salesman,
i ue particular patronage of such dealers is worth more
j to the growers of Tobacco than any other evidence
j ■/,af * *,ayo to offer—fir such an expression of their
feelings, i have only to return my humble thanks.—
riii* inspector’s receipt for all Tobacco sent to me v ill
be returned to tlie owner, consequently I si.all wait his
order fori*s inspection and sale. All expenses paid
if directed, by the subscriber—Office at the Ware-'
