At the same time, Volkonsky became an inspector of the Orenburg Inspectorate, in addition, he was responsible for the administration of the civilian part of the Orenburg province.

On the second of the year in St. Petersburg of G., on the way, the prince drove into Moscow for several days, was in Ufa on November 16 and only in late November - early December he arrived, finally, the prince went on an introductory trip to the province on Orenburg on June sixteenth. Returning from it after six weeks, it arranges an inspection check in parts of the Orenburg garrison.

Probably, a very dissatisfied with the result, G. Volkonsky achieves and very soon on August 19, he receives permission to draw up four garrison battalions from the Orenburg border line from the North -Orenburg and other inspections that are incapable of recruiting and properly resigned. A little later, on November 28, these garrison battalions merged into one and became called the Orenburg linear battalion.

In relation to the Kyrgyz, the new governor began his rule by abolishing reprisals and outcome by the permission to send, at his own discretion, detachments from the irregular army of people, with the accession of light artillery to them, under the authorities of Blessed officials. It should be noted that G. Kyrgyz, in addition, was allowed to be hired by workers, for which a ticket board was charged.

In the year, the military governor went the second time to inspect the Orenburg province and the troops entrusted to him. He visited Uralsk, Simbirsk, Kazan, Ufa, in other cities of the vast region. The troops saw on the trip and during the inspection, probably this time, did not satisfy G. at least, at least after returning from it, he decides to open a military school in Orenburg to provide the province with trained personnel.

Meanwhile, in Europe, wars had already blazed all over. On the third of the year, Alexander I issues a manifesto on the defeat of the union states of Austria and Prussia and the formation of temporary militias and zemstvo police in this regard. Four new battalions are ready in new ones. Khan chose. With Divine mercy, from Orenburg to Siberia itself, a thousand miles of the war on the space, the Orenburg Cossacks of other names, with their families, are put on the line.

To this establishment of their farms and houses did not use the ruble of one treasury. Gostiny Dvor, exchange courtyard.

The sovereign of the approved amount closed the river. Thank God, everything is successful in the mercy of the divine. The Kyrgyz people are Smirna - in the province of Smirna. On the twenty -fifth of June, the governor goes on the third inspection trip in the province.He drove through the Tanalytskaya and Verkhneuralsky fortresses, visited the Perm province in Shadrinsk, in Chelyabinsk, Zlatoust, Ufa, made a stop in Orenburg in early August and then through Uralsk reached the coast of the Caspian Sea.

For two months, he had done about four thousand miles. Being still beyond my indispensable place, I am not uneasy to say: the Orenburg line, exposed for four years and from predatory neighboring Kyrgyz people, is now visited, now in four linear motionless battalions and three thousand Cossacks. The continuous chain in the space of more than a thousand miles is composed of the waterproof themselves, the reliable that they, protecting their property, protect the boundaries.

The structure of the strengths of the middle category, rowns-domes, abundance in cattle breeding, success in agriculture, joy shining on the faces of the new defenders of the linear feature, their zeal and always readiness to reflect the predators of the Ordants-everything proves contentment with their own state. It can be frankly that these successes of my proposals are also pleasant, especially since the consequences of this settlement will be associated with tangible benefits for the treasury in the food subject of all linear troops.

Experiments in agriculture where the spaces of the wilds of the steppe were previously, vouching in the abyl and fruits for the future; The treasury, receiving provisions from the hands of settlers for prior troops, will be announced annually by many thousands. Having traveled to Siberia itself, having examined the Tobol River, I returned to the borders to the Chelyabinsk district, belonging to the Orenburg province.

The widespread abundance in food in all respects, the purity of customs of residents, beautiful locations, like English gardens, filed me in admiration. We can say unmistakable that this corner is the best corner in Russia, which has retained the irrelevance of morals and the frankness of the soul of Russian forefathers. From the city of Chelyabinsk, I continued the path of the most in the middle of the Ural mountains, known in antiquity under the name of the Rifey.

One hundred miles of these lovely places have already drove, it remains to be warmed up by the mountains of three hundred miles in a straight line. Judging by the descriptions of the Alpine Mountains, one cannot think that the heren in the local valleys covered with numerous herds could not be compared to them: there are gray alps, covered with eternal snow, and here there are caskets, and there are cliffs that frightening travelers, but not terrible because they threaten to destroy over their heads Unprofitable voyages and never had fallen.

Eight miles climb the mountain and go down from it 16 miles means putting the Ural mountains with alpine in parallel; But I did it myself, passing through thick fogs. The advantage here is also that rich mines, rare factory establishments enrich both the treasury and factory holders with millions. Now I'm in the Zlatoust factory. The cannon thunder, the consecration of the plant was my meeting: fireworks, loud cheers, the fun of the people were my pre -job.
