Excerpt from Journey of the Russian Mission From Orenbourg to Bokhara During the same year Monsieur Negri a Greek by birth and interpreter to the embassy of General Yer maloff, was dispatched to Bokhara. The proceedings of both Missions were published, but are now either out of print or very difficult to be procured. The Russian Government have for a century been bent on the occupation or capture of Khiva-the last 20 years the preparations are open and avowed. The different roads have been carefully examined - whe ther the Russian troops have or have not yet entered Khiva appears doubtful, but there can be none as to its assembly for that purpose.
