permitted to refide in the town, and exercife the authority 
formerly vefted in their own dukes. But at this time, they 
retained their own laws, chofe their own magiftrates, and 
the governor never interfered in public affairs, except by 
appeal. Ivan, not fatisfied with this limited government, 
proceeded to extend his authority, and in1477 laid fiege to 
the town. The fubjugation of the citizens was fo complete,

Novogorod to Mofcow, denominated by the inhabitants 
“‘ eternal,’ and revered as the palladium of their liberty, and 
the fymbel of their privileges. Neverthelefs, fubje@ as it
