THE POLICY OF THE STEAM-ROLLER.

LTO THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR."]

SIR,--Will you allow me to correct an error which has slipped into an article published in the Spectator of November 14th under the title of "The Policy of the Steam-Roller" P Prince Bagration, the "victor of Borodino," as you call him, was, with Souvoroff, Roumiantzow, and Kamensky, undoubtedly one of the best Russian generals, but was by no means an Armenian, belonging, in fact, to an ancient and illustrious Georgian family, whose ancestors once reigned over a great part of Caucasia. May I add that the Georgians, as a rule, resent being called Armenians P—I am, Sir, &c., 16 Vicolo Zucchelli, Bone. S. SAZONOW.
