and if we compare all the difficulties and incessant care for work, guard duty and other necessary tasks, especially in the late autumn of the year, and sometimes in winter, then the very necessary defense of the capital necessarily requires taking the means and using them in action so that in one direction everything that is also necessary is put into a defensive state, and for the postdoc all the necessary parts were covered with appropriate posts according to their importance, in which case such Dispositions are assumed that for various works and sometimes for the content of greater danger of posts not exposed to the inhabitants, the inhabitants are used to which orders from the commandants, sometimes Engineers, who are the same military servants, on whom the defense of the fortress mostly depends are invited; For this reason, if one of the Engineers happens to be invited to this very necessary order, not only cannot he make excuses, but he is obliged to honor his real position, giving his money! In which case is it necessary to arm ordinary people especially at posts that are not exposed to greater danger, or to use mfshaya with a garrison. 8th) In the event of a lack or shortage of government supplies, the above-mentioned materials, supplies and other necessities belonging to serfdom can be taken if only they are found among the inhabitants with a written note from whom and how much of what was taken for the sake of all that is only for the benefit of the defense and long-term enemy resistance to serfdom can serve, but the Engineering Team itself will not be able to present to the commandant secretly what can be verbally, but about other things in writing and demand assistance from him in this matter, in the event of any necessary requirement the commandant will not provide proper assistance in this matter. The Engineering Team will remain innocent; 9th) From the very beginning of the non-Pryatelsky’s approach to the fortress and until its complete retreat from it, the Engineer should keep a journal as long as possible with satisfied visitors, both from the side of the fortress and from the Nepryatelsky side of which the numbers were produced! e work military strategems and simpler actions and at what time exactly what successes or obstacles there were, and why, what were the wealth and disadvantages and how averted or to aversion what was hindered, on which date what was the weather, after being freed from the enemy attack and compose a plan for the destruction showing on it those who were ruined and again during the attack of the Blanks building and dividing the garrison along the distances as well as a non-stealth attack and fortifying its camps and behind we sign the chief engineer at the fortress to send both the plan and the notes to the office of the Main Artillery and Fortifications of which all the circumstances and matters are enough to be examined and what is found useful and unhelpful during the defense of the fortress is to be included in the Instructions for Engineers located in other fortresses so that they are henceforth the first to be used from Lastly, precautions were taken, and the plans and PrimBchan!and kept in decent care with the clerical archive.
But even from the points described above, depending on the state of the circumstances and the situation of some people, sometimes it is necessary to get others to receive and other things to be prepared, time does not allow instead of which, in the same way and in addition to this, sometimes other help can be used in powerful ways in the action can be used for this purpose by the office during future business trips to Instructions to Engineers to prescribe how, adhering to the above, that whenever it is useful and necessary it will be necessary, then and in addition, upon examination for the most useful and necessary, it will turn out without avoiding the slightest circumstance that everything in the care of that chancellery, as the main one concerning the government, can serve in favor of preserving the high interests of Her Imperial Majesty. unfulfilled! I and if what was missed and neglected depends on her answer.
