From the ports of London, Liverpool, Southampton,
and Glasgow, a further supply of steamers can be pro-
cured to any extent that may be required, but at pre-
sent there is a reluctance to interrupt the regular transit
of our ocean mails, and the above enumeration merely
comprises those ships that can at the moment be spared.
It will be observed that the chartered companies, with
the exception of "the General Screw," have their fleets
almost unbroken by the assistance which thus far they
are called on to supply. We understand that the Go-
vernment, with that consideration for the welfare of the
expedition which befits the extraordinary resources at
their disposal, are determined to give a fair allowance of
elbow room on the passage out to the Mediterranean.
From 200 to 250 tons register will be allowed to every
100 men, so that the whole force will reach the point
of rendezvous not only with all the speed of steam,
but in the best possible condition. For the heavier
munitions of war, and probably the artillery horses,
sailing vessels will be employed, and it is understood
that some of Mr. Green's and Mr. Duncan Dunbar's
finest ships have already been engaged for that service.
These details will enable the reader to form a tolerably
correct conception of the military preparations of the
Government, so far as they have yet been developed.
The facility with which its plans are being carried into
execution, furnishes evidence of the resources of this
country for war, which our enemies will do well to con-
sider. Not only are we able to transport an expedition
to the Mediterranean without serious embarrassment to
our regular commerce, but it is also not improbable that
steamers, hitherto the property of English companies,
will be employed in conveying the French auxiliary
army to the East. It is stated that the Transatlantic
Steam Navigation Company, of which the Duke de
Montebello is chairman, and the formation of which as
announced some months ago, has recently purchased
in this country a fleet of 10 screw steamers, and it is
believed the company has placed these ships, which are
of large size, at the disposal of the Emperor for the
present emergency.
The naval preparations are now chiefly directed to the
formation and complete equipment of the fleet which is
to be sent early next month to the North Sea and the
Baltic, and which is to consist of the following ships :--
Guns.
Duke o?Wellington (screw) 131 Western squadron.
