The Montencgrius are well supplied with mountaine artillery, and are admirable marksmen, and their power of euduring fatiguo is mar- volous, It is admitted that this march of Bulelimau Pasha is the most disnatrons to the Turks of ady cvent recorded in the his. tory of thelr wars with Montenosyo. Nothing could save the Tarks In Montenegro from ab- solute annibilation but thelr overwhelnlug supcrlority of numbers.
