The Druza, small and not navigable, joins the 
Dnieper at Rogatchef. 
Beresina, pretty considerable. 700 versts 
along this river, masts are carried down to 
the town of Borisof, and even to the wharf 
of Pedoserskoy. In this passage, a land- 
carriage of thirty versts was unavoidable, 
from the wharf to the town of Kransnic 
Luki; whence they were floated down by 
Essa, to the Oulla, at Lepeln. Measures 
were, in consequence, taken to effect a 
junction between the Beresen and the Essa. 
In 1801 , the work was already done, except 
some sluices, and other improvements ne- 
cessary to be made. The Beresen was to 
be joined to the Rivulet Sergutz, and the 
Lake Plavio, and Beresla ; and thence, with 
the Skogy and Menezso, with the Essa and 
Oulla. This will be of immense advantage 
to the trade of the Dnieper with the ports 
on the Baltic. On the Beresen three wharfs 
are already established; at Bobrusha, Borisof, 
and Pedoser : the last is only for timber. 
To the two first, about twenty barks are 
annually towed up, with salt, for the pro- 
vince of Minsk. Among the great number 
of rivulets falling into the Beresen, the most 
considerable is the Svirtolz, which is navi- 
gable as far as Minsk, from the Spring
