DYNASTY OF THE KAJARS. 395
Ministers, that TormasofF on one side, learning
Prince Muhammed Aly Mirza's return towards
Erivan, and thinking himself by this movement
perfectly secure, had advanced to Zakkam, in the
district of Ganjah, with his whole force of every
description, animated with the most sanguine and
vindictive views: whilst, on the other side. General
Nibalsin, having learned the confusion and trouble
excited by Farraj Allah Khan in the affairs of
Taulish, proceeded with perfect security from Kara-
bagh and Barda towards Zakkam, where he joined
TormasofF. Waly Bulkunik, also, having joined
TormasofFwith his whole force, the whole were now
prepared for active hostilities. In short, the entire
Russian force, except what was left to garrison the
different forts, were now assembled at Zakkam,
and were fully resolved to give the Prince Viceroy
battle. TormasofF also became acquainted with the
designs of the Armenians in Ganjah; and sent a mes
senger to the commandant of the garrison, who, in
obedience to his orders, imprisoned the chiefs of the
Armenians. Notwithstanding the Prince-Viceroy's
victorious troops did not amount to a fourth part
of the Russian force; notwithstanding provisions
also were as scarce in the camp as the phoenix or
the philosopher's stone ; notwithstanding the frost
and snow, from the elevation of the country, were
so exceedingly severe, that the double-tongued pen
is utterly unequal to describe their effects; not
withstanding the communication with the royal
troops in Erivan and Nakhshiwan, on account of
the junction formed by the Russians, and of the in-
fluence of the demon of the air on some of the tribes
