Accordingly the Russian commander, disquieted besides by rumors ofrevolt in different parts of Daghestan, resolved to come to terms withhis adversary, and retire under cover of them.
To accomplish this purpose, and yet do it in such a way as to give thecolor of a great triumph to what was in reality a most humiliatingcheck, was a problem not after all of very difficult solution. All thatwas necessary was to require of Schamyl to take an oath of fealty to theemperor on the condition of being lef...t in possession of not onlyTiletli, but all the Lesghian highlands. And this Schamyl would be readyenough to do provided he might have the privilege of making theengagement in the presence of neither murids nor Russians. For an oathtaken under such circumstances would be no oath at all, inasmuch asSchamyl holding to the Mahometan as well as Romanist doctrine that nofaith is to be kept with infidels, and considering the Muscovites to benot only such but even half devils, and _feroe naturoe_, would feelhimself in conscience under no obligations whatever to abide by what hehad sworn to.
