Asia Minor; and these troops would be, in a great measure, rude levies, ill-trained, and worse offlcared, and withent proper appliances. for the field. Nor does even this give a true notion of the relative strength of the supposed belligerents. The Russian armies would be probably swelled by contingents from Servia and Montenegro, and even from the Danubian Provinces they would be upheld by a united Empire of from 70,009,000 to 80,000,000 souls, and their march on Turkey would be doubtless aided by a rising among its oppressed races. On the other side the Turks could rely only on the Mahomedan element in their dominions; they would depend for their resources in war on a population of 14,000,000; and, like all tyrannical castes, they would find themselves in the hour of danger exposed to the hate and vengeance of millions of injured subjects. From the narrowest military point of view, therefore, Turkey cannot on land be a match for Rusala, and if larger considerations are borne in mind, the superiority of Rumia is
