General Pierce then, as he informs me, with the advice of his colonels, thought best to attempt to carry the works of the enemy at Big Bethel, and made dispositions to that effect. The attack commenced, as I am informed—for I have not yet received any official reports—about half-past 9 o'clock. At about 10 o'clock General Pierce sent a note to me, saying that there was a sharp engagement with the enemy, and that he thought he should be able to maintain his position until reinforcements could come up. Acting upon this information, Col. Carr's regiment, which had been ordered in the morning to proceed as far as Newmarket Bridge, was allowed to go forward. I received this information, for 'which I had sent a special messenger, about 12 lo'clock. I immediately made disposition from New port News to have Col. Phelps, for the four regi ' ments there, forward aid if necessary. As soon as these orders could be sent forward, I repaired to Hampton, for the impose of having proper ambul ances and waggons for the sick and wounded, in tending While the waggons were going forward a messenger came, announcing that the engagement had termi nated, and that the troops were retiring in good order to camp. I remained upon the ground at Hampton, personally seeing boats and towed to the hospital, and ordering for ward, with Lieutenant Morris, the wounded put in two boat howitzers, to cover the rear of the returning column in case it should be attacked. Having been informed that the ammunition of the artillery had been expended, and seeing the head of the column ap proach Hampton in good order, I waited for General Pierce to come up. lam informed by him that the dead and wounded had all been brought off, and that the return had been conducted in good order and without haste. I learned from him that the men behaved with great steadiness, with the exception of some few instances, and that the attack was made with propriety, vigour, and courage, but that the enemy were found to be sup ported by a battery, variously estimated of from fifteen to twenty pieces, some of which were rifled cannon, which were very well served, and protected ftom being readily turned by a creek in front. Our loss is very considerable, amounting perhaps to 40 or 50, a quarter part of which you will see was from the unfortunate mistake—to call it by no worse name—of Col. Bendix. I will, as soon es official returns can be got, give a fuller detail of the affair, and will only add now that we have to regret especially the death of Lieut. Greble, of the 2d Artillery, who went with Colonel Washburn, from Newport News, and who very efficiently and gallantly fought his piece until he was struck by a cannon shot. I will endeavour to get accurate statements to forward by the next mail. I think, in the unfortunate combination of circumstances, and the result which we experienced, we have gainei more than we have lost. Our troops have learned to have confidence in themselves under fire, the enemy have shown that they will not meet us in the open field, and our officers have learned wherein the organisation and drill are inefficient. While waiting for the official report, I have the honour to submit thus far the information of which lam possessed.—l have the honour to be, ire.,_ BENJ. F. BUTLER, Major-Gen. Commanding. In these Confederate States we observe those rela tions which have been poetically ascribed to the United States, but which there never had the same reality—States so distinct that each existed as a sovereign, yet so united that each was wound with the other to constitute a whole, or, as more beautifully expressed, distinct as the billows, yet one as the sea. (Applause.) Upo n every hill which now overlooks Richmond you have had, and will continue to have, camps containing soldiers from every State in the Con federacy; and to its remotest limits every proud heart beats high with indignation at the thought that the foot of the invader has been set on the soil of Old Virginia. (Great cheering.) There is not one true son of the South who is not ready to shoulder , his musket, to bleed, to die, or to conquer in the cause of liberty here. (Cheers.) Beginnings nder many embarrassments , the result of 70 yrs of taxation being in the hands of our enemies, we must at first move cautiously. It may be that we shall have to encounter sacrifices ; but, my friends, under the smiles of the God of the just, and filled with the same spirit that animated our fathers, success shall perch on our banners. lam sure you do not expect me to go into any argument upon those questions which for 25 years have agitated the country. We have now reached the point where arguments being exhausted, it only remains for us to stand by our , weapons. (Cheers and cries of 'We will.') When the time and occasion serve, we shall smite the smiter with manly arms, as did our fathers before us, and as become their sons. To the enemy we leave the base acts of the assassin and incendiary, to them we leave it to insult helpless women ; to us belongs vengeance upon man. (Tremendous ap plause.) Now, my friends, I thank you again for this gratifying manifestation. (A Voice—Tell us something about Buena Vista.) Well, my friends, I can only say we will make the battlefields of Vir ginia another Buena Vista, and drench them with blood more precious than that which flowed there. We will make a history for ourselves. We do not ask that the past shall shed any lustre upon us, bright as our past has been, for we can achieve our own destiny. We may point to many a field over which has floated the flag of our country when we were of the United States, upon which Southern soldiers and Southern officers reflected their brave spirits in their deeds of daring, and, without in tending to cast a shadow upon the courage of any portion of the United States, let me call it to your remembrance that no man who went from any of these Confederate States has ever yet, as a general officer, surrendered to an enemy. Pardon me if I do not go into matters of history, and permit me again to thank you for this kind manifestation of your regard, to express to you my hearty wishes for the individual prosperity of you all, with the hope that you will all pray to God to crown our cause and our country with success." General Pierce, the officer who commanded the Federal troops at Great Bethel, is freely abused in the New York papers, the disaster being attributed entirely to his inefficiency. Advices from Canada mention that Mr. Rose had resigned his office of Chief Commissioner of Public Works, and his seat in the Cabinet. New York papers to the 15th inst. have arrived. The principal points of the news—the abandonment of Harper's Ferry by the Confederate troops, and the battle at Big Bethel, in Virginia—have been announced by telegraph. The following is General Butler's official report of the latter affair : TO LIEUTENANT GENERAL SCOTT. Fortress Monroe, June 10, 1861. General, —Having learned that the enemy had established an outpost of some strength at a place called Little Bethel, a small church about eight miles from Newport News, and the same distance from Hampton, from whence they were accustomed nightly to advance, both on Newport News and the picket guards of Hampton, to annoy them, and also from whence they had come down in small squads of cavalry and taken a number of Union men, some of whom had the safeguard and protection of the I troops of the United States, and forced them into the rebel ranks, and that they were also gathering up the slaves of citizens who had moved awa y and ' left their farms in charge of their negroes, carrying them to work in entrenchments at Williamsburgh and Yorktown, [ had determined to send up a force to drive them back and destroy their camp , the VC which , 5 , ` 4 .1 this small church. I had also learned that at a place a little further on, on the road to Yorktown, was an outwork of the re bels, on the Hampton side of a place called Big Bethel, a large church near the head of the north branch of the Back River, and that here was a very considerable rendezvous, with works of more or less strength in process of erection, and from this point the whole country was laid under contribution. Accordingly I ordered General Pierce, who is in command of Camp Hamilton, at Hampton, to send Duryee's regiment of Zouaves to be ferried over Hampton Creek at one o'clock this morning, and to march by the road up to Newmarket -bridge, then crossing the bridge, to go by the road, and thus put the regiment in the rear of the enemy , and b etw een Big Bthel and Little Bethel, in part for the pur pose of cutting him off, and then to make an attack upon Little Bethel. Directed General Pierce to support him from Hampton with Col. Townsend's regiment, with two mounted howitzers, and to march about an hour later. At the same time I directed Colonel Phelps, commanding at Newport News, to send out a battalion, composed of such companies of the regiments under his command as he thought best, under command of Lieut.-Colonel Washburn, in time to make a demonstration upon Little Bethel in front, and to have him supported by Colonel Bendix's regiment; with two field-pieces. Bendix's and Townsend's regiments should effect a junction at a fork of the road leading from Hamp ton to Newport News, something like a mile and a half from Little Bethel. I directed the march to be so timed that the attack should be made just at day break, and that, after the attack was made upon Little Bethel, Duryee's regiment and a regiment from Newport News should follow immediately upon the heels of the fugitives, if they were enabled to cut them off, and attack the battery on the road to Big Bethel, while covered by the fugitives ; or if it was thought expedient by General Pierce, failing to surprise the camp at Little Bethel, they should attempt to take the work near Big Bethel. To prevent the possibility of mistake in the darkness, I directed that no attempt should be made until the watchword should be shouted by the attacking regiment, and, in case that by any mistake in the march the regiments that were to make the junction should unex- , pectedly meet and be unknown to each other, also di rected that the members of Colonel Townsend's re giment should be known, if in daylight, by some thing white worn on the arm. The troops were accordingly put in motion as ordered, and the march was so timed that Colonel Duryee had got in the position noted upon the accompanying sketch, and Lieut.-Colonel Washburn, in command of the regi ment from Newport News, had got into the position indicated upon the sketch, and Colonel Bendix's regiment had been posted and ordered to hold the fork of the road, with two pieces of artillery, and Colonel Townsend's regiment had got to the place indicated just behind, and were about to form a junction as the day dawned. Up to this point the plan had been vigorously, accurately, and successfully carried out ; but here, by some strange fatuity, and as yet unexplained blunder, without any word or notice, while Colonel Townsend was in column en route, and when the head of the column was within 100 yards, Colonel Bendix's regiment opened fire with both artillery and musketry upon Colonel Townsend's column, which, in the hurry and confusion, was irregularly returned by some of Colonel Townsend's men, who feared that they had fallen into an ambuscade. Colonel Townsend's column immediately retreated to the eminence near by, and were almosturs by Colonel Bendix's men. By this criminal Colonel blunder, two of Colonel Townsend's regiment killed, and eight more or less woufinded.. his rear, Hearing this cannonading and r e ing b l d u n . t that l his Lieut.-Colonel Washburn, not know.ing did Colonel Duryee, and communication might be cut off, imme late y re versed his march, as form a junction w ith his reserve. mar ched back to General Pierce, who wa s with Colonel Towns end's regiment, fearing that the d himself had n notiorce ce o f our approach , and had postei f on the line of march, and not getting any com munication from Colonel Dryee, sent back - to me for reinforcements, and I immediately ordered Colonel Allen's regiment to be put in motion, and they reached Hampton about seven o'clock. In the meantime the true state of facts having been ascertained by General Pierce, the regiments effected a junction, and resumed the line of march. At the moment of the firing o f Colonel Bendix, Colonel Duryee had surprised a part of an outlying guard of the enemy, consisting of 30 persons, who have been brought in to me. Of course by this firing all hope of a surprise above the camp at Little Bethel was lost, and upon march ing upon it, it was found to have been vacated, and the cavalry had passed on towards Big Bethel. Col, TEE GRZAT FIRE. There is very little of interest to record to-day in reference to this calamity. The outer cellars, which the firemen have been able to reach, have been almost washed out by the floods of water poured into them, but those in the centre still burn as fiercely as ever. The searchafter Mr. Scott's body was continued during yesterday without success, and the opinion that he turned into one of the warehouses and was consumed seems now more than probable. If this has been the case no trace of the body will ever be dis. covered,' and the money which he was known to have had with him will, of course, be lost also. During yesterday afternoon the suggestion which we made that the crowds of merely curious visitors should be excluded from the ruins was rigorously carried into effect by the police, and the public per force protected against their own dangerous curi osity. The fire under the vaults of Hay's Wharf still burns among the casks of oil. To guard against the possibility of accident from its extension an ad. ditional massive party wall was built up yesterday across the passage leading from those vaults to those under the warehouses which escaped. No attempt can be made to put out the fire here. The vaults are simply kept closed and allowed to burn them selves out. It is evident, however, that not the least fear is entertained of further extension to the uninj urea warehouses, for yesterday 1,500 hogsheads of sugar were consigned to them and were being stored during the day. It is impossible to avoid asking the question, is any practical good in the way of improved appliances for checking fire to arise from this great disaster? The great mass of the public have really no idea of the enormous mischief done by this fire, and only a very few know the gigantic magnitude of the danger that was provi dentially averted. Only a slight change of wind saved the railway station and the last range of wharfs on the other side of Humphrey's docks. The destruction of the railway would have been of no great moment, but if the last-named buildings had taken fire the range of warehouses beyond must have gone with them, stored entirely with spirits of turpentine, which would have exploded in all directions like gunpowder, and, floating out among the shipping on the river, might have carried the conflagration to both sides of the Thames: This is no overdrawn picture, but what it is known must have happened had the fire spread. It: is very well to say that this did not occur, but the only reason why it did not was because the wind changed, for the engines were utterly powerless to check the spread of the flames. The efforts of the best and most powerful engines seem utterly inadequate to deal with a really large fire. This fact has been virtually a dmitted by all the re. ports of fires which have appeared for some years pas t. When small fires have broken out in small establishments, they have, of course, been quickly subdued; but in nine cases out of ten the reports inform the public how the firemen were unable to check the flames, and had to confine their efforts to saving the adjoining buildings, and even this they often failed to do. In fact, the engines of the Fire Brigade are not only not sufficiently powerful, but they do not seem to have a sufficient number of even these weak ones. The total number of engines at the fire (and not only the London ones attended, but it is said others were brought up from the country) was only 17. Of these 13 were common engines, two steam, and two floating. To cope with such a fire, we have been told, would require at least 40 to have had any effect. The little jets poured by many on Saturday night last were ) almost ridiculous. The men very truly say that the supply of water was at all times inadequate, but no no amount of water would have increase bly the water com ") ip paltryes, whilediameter m e most t f tuhnecine unquestionably s z t z i l e e n s a o f some of the hose number of engines. The Fire Briga , pany was not to blame for there being as on all other occasions, did thei splendidly, but their means the :t: .3 f insufficient course earae, "x• best, and worked were almost ridieu :e of wind averted a flames ; and as we lously inadequate to aback side of the tremendous calamity have told, nothing buftra P sim N i o l n ar e from south • outbreake a n metropolis.

It is evident that the means at the disposal of the metro politan Fire Brigade are inadequate to cope with any great fire, su c h as might arise this very night. This matter is one of the last importance, and the late great fire will have done good service if it only directs public opinion to the question, and leads to the extension and effective establishment of our present brigade, with a much greater num ber of really powerful engines.

The Edinburgh has arrived with advices from New York to the 15th. She brings us a few addi tional items of intelligence. The New York Herald, alluding to the recent proclamation issued by the British Government, prohibiting privateers and armed vessels from bringing prizes into British ports, remarks : " There can be no doubt that this effect was pro duced partly by the despatch of Mr. Seward warn ing the European Powers that our Government would hold no further diplomatic intercourse with them if they recognised the Commissioners from the Southern Confederacy, and partly by the tone of the American press, upon which the London Times observes that it is plain the utmost circum spection must be used by every man or party in England to avoid giving offence to either of the incensed belligerents.' Though this measure of the British Government still places the Southern Con federacy and the United States upon the same foot ing in a technical and legal point of view, inas much as our armed public vessels will be as much excluded from British ports if entering with prises as will be the privateers of Jefferson Davis with their captures, yet the practical effect of the prohi bition is all in favour of the United States ; for the Southern Confederacy have no commercial marine upon which our ships can prey, and if privateering were recognised by England the advantage would be on the side of the Confederates. Bat now that the latter will have no market for their prizes it will be useless for, them to capture them. All the other Powers of Europe, as far as we can learn, have set their faces against the practice. It is stated that France intends to abide by its law which prohibits privateers remaining in port over 24 hours to dispose of prizes when there: Though this is not so complete a prohibition as that of England, yet it so hampers and restricts the action of the Southern privateers that they will not be able to do much in the. French ports. The piratical cruisers of Jefferson Davis are thus crippled in their operations, and they will be reduced to the dilemma of destroying their captures, for they are not lawful prizes till they are brought into port and condemned by a prize court, either in the juris diction of the Confederate States or in that of an ally. As they have no allies, and are not likely to have any, and as all their own ports are blockaded, they can do nothing with their prizes ; and if they attempt to appropriate them without adjudication, they become bucaniers, and are liable to be treated iI as pirates by all nations." The following, relating to " an alleged traitor," is from the New York Tribune curious incident occurred at Beaton yester day, in the escape of an alleged traitor on board the steamship America for Europe. It appears that the chief of the Boston police received a despatch from Superintendent Kennedy, of this city, requesting him to arrest a person named Trappman, who was about to sail in the America, and who was supposed to be the bearer of important documents from the rebel Government. The Boston chief accordingly secured the person and searched his papers, but found nothing suspicious. Mr. Trappman stated that he was the Prussian Consul at Charleston, South Carolina, and produced evidence of the fact satisfactory to the police authorities. He stated further that he was a bearer of despatches from Lord Lyons to the British Government. He was accordingly released, and sailed for Europe. The vessel had no sooner gone than another despatch reached the police authorities from Mr. Kennedy to " arrest Mr. Trappman for treason," by order of the Secretary of State, but the intelligence came too late—the bird was flown. It is not likely that whatever treasonable documents he took with him will do much harm, considering the present views en tertained towards the United States Government in Europe, but that he should. be permitted to escape argues a dilatoriness on the part of the Go vernment at Washington which it is not easy to account for." Professor Lowe had been engaged by the Govern ment to make reconnaissances of the Confederate movements by means of his balloon. Mr. Dallas, ex-Minister to Great Britain, had visited Philadelphia, where he met a good recep tion. The New York _Herald says:- 111.. f r ni, c.a.pt cooluu as to the attitude of Great Britain upon the American crisis. He stated privately, however, that the Ministry had no intention other than that of a strict neutrality in the present struggle. The people of England, however, were radical in their sympathy and affiliation with the North. The hatred of slavery, as maintained in the new Con federacy, was intense, and the Ministry, upon this abstract question, did not differ from the people. Both Ministry and people, however, would insist upon neu t r ality, although opinion se emed to be unanimous that coercion was the only duty and safety of the United States, and in the struggle of the American Government for its maintenance and integrity the sympathies of the Ministry and the masses were solely with the North. England,' said Mr. Dallas, is anxious to see the experiment of self-government successful in America, although to Americans the anxiety may seem strange.' His private sympathies in this contest were expressed in a speech elicited in reply to a formal welcome home from Colonel J. Ross Snowden, former direc tor of the United States Mint. The present fitful effort,' said Mr. Dallas, to substitute another com paratively unknown and local for this world-wide famous banner is not the first that has been made. The reserved right to nullify your laws, and at discretion to break up your government as a cobweb contrivance of mere State partnership, perhaps meditated at Hartford in 1814, was certainly and formally claimed by South Carolina in 1832. At this epoch there were giants in debate, and no giant more formidable or dangerous than the author of this subversive doc trine. But, gentlemen, it was overruled as per verse and untenable. The calm senators from this good old Commonwealth, who were William Wil kins, of Pittsburg, and myself, steadily insisted upon hoisting the Stars and Stripes high above the Palmetto ; and the renowned citizens of Tennessee, who had routed the invaders at New Orleans, dis pelled by the mere show of a Force Bill the delu sive Quixotism which was brave and blind then, as it is now. Nullification is but fragmentary, sub divided, or bit-by-bit secession, both built upon the same false keel, and it points with an emphasis too peremptory to be ;disregarded to the course of duty which the official guardians of your constitution, laws, and liberties are bound to pursue. Let us, then,' said Mr. Dallas, concluding, be firmly linked as a band of brothers around this unchanged stan dard. For my humble self, bornbeneath it, having imbibed from a venerated father's inculcations a devoted attachment to its comprehensive import ; having dearly loved to the last a brother who gal lantly gave his life to its support, and dying in a distant field of duty found it his noblest shroud — having spent my life contented and happy, though poor and inglorious, under its protection ; having been honoured far beyond my deserts by my fellow citizens, and especially by those to sustain whose equality and rights I shrank from no personal sacrisi fice, I come back to you, gentlemen, filled, it true, with grief at the national calamity, but un altered in my determination to stand, come weal or woe, powerless, I confess, but u nalterably by the flag of the American U nion, the whole Union, and the Union for ever.' " The following appears to be a verbatim report of President Davis's speech at Richmond : "Friends and Fellow-citizens, —l thank you for the compliment that your presence conveys. It is an indication of regard not for the person, but for the position which he holds. The cause in which we are engaged is the cause of the advocacy of rights to which we were born, those for which our fathers of the Revolution bled—the richest in heritance that ever fell to man, and which it is our sacred duty to transmit untarnished to our children. Upon us is involved the high and holy responsibility of preserving the constitutional liberty of a free Government. (Applause.) Those with whom we have lately associated have shown themselves so incapable of appreciating the blessings of the glorious institutions they inherited that they are to-day stripped of the liberty to which they were born. They have allowed an ignorant usurper to trample upon all the prerogatives of citizenship, and to exercise powers never delegated to him ; d and it has been reserved for your own State, so lately one of the original thirteen, but now, thank God, fully separated from them, to be h com h e the theatre of a great cen tral camp, rom w i b bra A v p e hearts to roll ack . art from that grate pthe u pour i f d o e r forth thin thousands despotism. o f fication we may well feel at being separated from such a connexio n, is the p ride that upon you de vn o e l w v e s thetas Government task of . maintainingthat and w ed shalle fen d be ourabl able tonshieve this noble work, and that the institu tion of our fathers will go to our children as sacred as they have descended to us.

The Lon don, 90, Captain H. Chads, arrived on Monday, from Corfu ; the Mohawk, 4, Commander E. H. Howard, on Wednesday, from Corfu and Zante ; and the Neptune, 90, Captain G. J. P. Hornby, also on Wednesday, from Corfu and Candia. The Assur ance, 4, Commander C. M. Aynsley, arrived on Tuesday, from Marsasusa, in the Regency of Tri poli. The Boxer, 2, Lieut. H. Cleveland, is to re sume he„r post at Marsala. The Gannet, 11, Com mander E. H. G. Lambert, is to take up her station, it is reported, on the coast of Sicily, Candia, and the Levant. They have both taken their departure. The French transport Aube, having on board 600 French troops and 400 horses, arrived on the 13th inst. from Syria, bound for Algiers. After replen-, ishing her coals and provisions she left for her des tination. Another French transport, the Finis terre, with 412 troops, arrived on the 15th from Beyrout, and left on the following day also for Algiers. Most of the transports returning to France with the expeditionary force from Syria have chosen other routes than Malta, only three vessels having touched at Valetta. On Sunday night, at half-past 10 o'clock, a slight shock of an earthquake was felt here. At Messina it is said to have been a pretty smart shock. The Queen and Intrepid are under sailing orders for Corfu. The former will leave on Thursday and the latter on Sunday, after tne arrival of th„ ~..-:, n- - ... .negianct 1: Ar......-411c.a The Scourge left to-day for Alexandria. She is to call in at Marsasusa. The Bulldog, 6, paddle, Commander H. F. M'Killop, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday morn ing, from Plymouth, with the main body of the 53d (Shropshire) Regiment of Foot. The troops, on being disembarked, were forwarded by the South-Western line to the Farnborough station, marching thence to Aldershott. The Bulldog sailed again from Portsmouth to Plymouth, where she will embark the remainder of the regiment. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—Lieut. E. T. Nott, Lieut. C. P. Boger, and Lieut. N. C. Barton, to the Hima laya; H. H. Small, assist.-engineer, to the Cumber land, for the Lizard ; Thomas Scott (a), assist.-en gineer, to the Asia, for the Myrtle; I. Martin, paymaster, additional, to the Edinburgh ; Samuel Sadler, paymaster, additional, to the Blenheim. ; Sydney J. Spark and William H. Reeves, pay masters, additional, to the Ajax; James R. An drews, paymaster, additional, to the Dauntless ; Robert H. Bullen, paymaster, to the Russell; George M. Lang, paymaster, to the Majestic ; and William Dewar, paymaster, to the Pembroke. Considerable progress has been made by the workmen employed under the direction of the Royal Engineer department in the demolition of the old batteries near the entrance to the Thames, prepara tory to the erection of the new defences which will guard the approach to the river. The whole of the old battery at Coalhouse-poiat, on the Essex side of the river, is level with the ground, all the guns, shot and shell, and stores having been removed to the Government stores at Sheerness, Purfleet, and Woolwich. The moat which surrounded the bat tery is partly filled up, and one of the magazines and a storehouse have also been removed. The barracks are to remain standing for a short time, for the use of the men engaged on the works. The soft, tenacious nature of the soil on which it is in tended to erect the new batteries will necessitate the use of an immense number of piles to form the foundations.expedite tln order to expehe work of driv ing the piles 12 pile-driving machines have already b een erected, and , worked by s team p ower, each ma- 1 chine is capable of driving a pile the required depth in six minutes. Most of the piles will require to be driven to a depth of 30 feet before a single brick c an be laid. Thep iles are to be placed as close together as possible. At present the contract has only been. taken for laying the foundations, a work of great difficulty. bo anxious are the authorities to have this portion of the work completed, that it is stated a premium of £1,400 beyond the terms of the contract has been promised the contractors, provided they finish the work within the specified time. To give an idea of the immense strength of the new works, it may be stated that the walls will be 12 feet in thickness, and the brickwork done in cement. The new fortifications are to be constructed bomb-proof, and barbetted, so that there will be two tiers of guns to each battery. The quarters for the officers and troops within the fortifications will be in the casemates. No orders have yet been received at Chatham as to the num ber of guns which will be required for each bat tery, but the armament will consist exclusively of the most powerful description of Armstrong guns, a sufficient number of which will be manufactured bhp the time the new works are ready to receive 0 1 033, which will probably not be for 18 months to me.
