The Russian attempt to make conquests in the Pacific by an Ukase is an object of

apprehension to nobody, of ridicule to everybody. For to whom can it be a secret that

the distance of their ports in the Pacific from the capital and from every inhabited

province condemns their military exertions to that quarter to an everlasting

/irremediable/ debility, fortunate in so small degree to every other country.
