in ambufli among the woods near the river. Their mode 
of life is that of profefliona! robbers. It might have been 
faid of the Circalfians, as of Illimael, He will be a wild 
man ; his hand will be againjl every man, and every man's hand 
againft him. Thofe who inhabit the palfes of the moun¬ 
tains, and are not occupied in any agricultural employ¬ 
ment, depend folely on plunder for their fubfidence. The 
petty princes are continually at war with each other; 
every one plunders his neighbour. The inhabitants of 
the plains go completely armed to the labours of the field. 
The crops are alfo guarded by armed men. No Circadian 
poet can therefore celebrate the peaceful occupation of 
the plough. Examples of heroifm may be obferved among 
them which would have dignified the character of the Ro¬ 
mans in the molt virtuous periods of their hiftory. The 
troops of other nations, when furrounded by fuperior 
numbers, readily yield themfelves prifoners of war; but 
the Circadian, while a fpark of life remains, will continue 
to combat even with a multitude of enemies. We faw a 
Circadian chief in the prifon at Ekaterinedara, about 
thirty-five years of age, who had received fifteen defperate 
wounds before he fell and was made prifoner, having 
fainted from lofs of blood. He was firft attacked by three 
of the Cofac cavalry. It was their objedt to take him 
alive, if pofiible, on account of his high rank, and the 
confideration wherein he was held by his own country¬ 
men. Every endeavour was therefore ufed to attack him 
in fuch a manner as not to endanger his life. This in¬ 
tention was foon perceived by the Circadian, who deter¬ 
mined not to furrender. With his fingle fabre, he flii- 
vered their three lances at the fird onfet, and afterwards 
•wounded two of the three alfailants. At length, fur- 
rounded by others who came to their adifiance, he fell co¬ 
vered with wounds, in the midft of his enemies, fighting 
to the laft moment. We vifited him in his prifon, where 
he lay ftretched upon a plank, bearing the anguilh of his 
terrible wounds without a groan. They had recently ex¬ 
tracted the iron point of a lance from his fide. A young 
Circadian girl was employed in driving dies from his face 
with a green bough. All our expredions of concern and 
regard were lod upon him ; we offered him money, but 
he refufed to accept any, handing it to his fellow-prifon- 
ers as if totally ignorant of its uie.” 
After fo revolting a picture of Circadian ferocity, the 
reader will have difficulty in believing that a ftranger can 
find himfelffafe, underany circumftances, amid thel'e bar¬ 
barous hordes. Yet it is a fact that the traveller who has 
voluntarily confided in the honour of a Circadian will be 
conduced acrofs the wilds of Caucafus in fafety, by the 
very robbers, who, in another fituation, would run the 
molt defperate hazards to carry him off and fell him as a 
Have.
