HOWEVER disastrous these measures might be to private interests, they were, under the circumstances, perfectly justifiable.
“All Russian subjects are forbidden to leave the province;” if Ivan Ogareff was still in the province, this would at any rate prevent him, unless with the greatest difficulty, from rejoining Feofar-Khan, and becoming a very formidable lieutenant to the Tartar chief.
“All foreigners of Asiatic origin are ordered to leave the province in four-and-twenty hours;” this would send off in a body all the traders Vladimir Sobotka Jersey from Central Asia, as NHL Mens Columbus Blue Jackets Top Shelf Pullover Hoodie - Navy well as the bands of Bohemians, gipsies, etc., having more or less sympathy with Paul Martin Jersey the Tartars. So many heads, so many spies — undoubtedly affairs required their expulsion.
It is easy to understand the effect produced by these two thunder-claps bursting over a town like Nijni-Novgorod, so densely crowded with visitors, and with a commerce so greatly surpassing that of all other places in Russia. The natives whom business called beyond the Siberian frontier could not leave the province for a time at least. The tenor of the first article of the order was express; it admitted of no exception.

Agents and UGG Bailey Button Czyścibut 5809 soldiers with whip or stick stimulated the tardy ones, and made nothing of pulling down the tents even before the poor Bohemians had left them.
Under these energetic measures the square of Nijni-Novgorod would, it was evident, be entirely evacuated before the evening, NHL Mens Detroit Red Wings Black Camo Stack Pullover Hoodie and to the tumult of the great fair would succeed the silence of the desert.
It must again be repeated — for it was a necessary aggravation of these severe measures — that to all those nomads chiefly concerned in the order of expulsion even the steppes of Siberia were forbidden, and they would be obliged to hasten to the south of the Caspian Sea, either to Persia, Turkey, or the plains of Turkestan.
