years manager at M`Lean's), respectfully informs the
country trade, artists, and the public, that they can be supplied with
looking glasses and picture frames, of the very best manufacture, 10
per cent. lower than any other advertising house. H. Crake begs
to state that it is not always the largest firms who sell the best and
cheapest, for being a practical man and thoroughly understanding the
business, and attending himself to the different branches, fearlessly
warrants his work not •to crack or shrink in the least. May be had

ANNONCE.
IL a plus de trois ans que son A. R. le DUC
DE NORMANDIE a propbse ses INVENTIONS de GUERRE
au Gouvernment de sa 3lajeste Britannique ; sa demande n'ayant
point ete accueille le prince determine a faire connaitre an public
ci apres. Ces inventions consistent :
quo son intention est de LES VENDEE, aux conditions qui sont
"r. D licivaeness'un canon a visiere optique, dont la portie est deux fois
cello d'un canon ordinairc,

2. Dans des bombes qui font explosion au moment ou ones frap-
pent l'object voulu, et dont le pouvoir est de detruire tout batiment
de guerre atteint par une Lie ces bombes.
3. Dans des roquettes a canon; elles sont construites de maniere a
ce qu'elles parcourent leur Ligne avec la meme certitude qu'un bou-
let ; toute especo de canon est propere a les lancer, elles„vont sans ba-
guettes ; et leur pouvoir destructlf est tel quo rien no leur fait resis-
tance ; tout vaisseau frappe par une d'elles, est infalliblemeut perdu,
les unes font explosion en touchant leer but, d'autres, deux on trois
minutes apres ; it y en a
quo asPhixient les hommes tie l'equiquage, et
d'autres qui incendient le bailment, sansqu'on puisse ureter les
Hammes ; dies penetreitt dans les flancs de tout vaisseaude guerre fut
meme construit en for.

[Tas ANNOUNCEMENT.
IMPORTANT
ITHIN the last three years, H.R.H. the
DUKE of NORMANDY having offered his INVEN-
TIONS in WEAPONS of WAR to the Government of her Britannic
Majesty, and his offers not having been accepted, the Prince has
come to the determination of announcing to the public that he intends
to DISPOSE OF THEM by SALE, on the annexed Terms.
These Inventions consist of—

1. A Cannon with an optical sight, of which the range Is twice that
of the ordinary Cannon. •

2. A description of Bombs which explode the moment they touch
the object against which they are fired, and of which the force is so
great that they will destroy every fortification struck by them.

3. Canon Rockets, so constructed that they preserve the line in
which they arc fired, withdtisheesrgamineg ctehrte:lln;t3trhasey
a ar bealin
of cannon is capable of ha
sticks, and their destructive power is such that nothing can resist
them ; every vessel struck by one of these weapons is infallibly des-
troyed. Some explode when they reach their mark—others in two
or three minutes afterwards ; some of them are capable of suffocating
the crew of a ship, and others will set fire to a building without the
possibility of extinguishing the flames : they will pierce the sides of a
ship of war, even though it were constructed of iron.
4th. A Machine of War, which placed either on the surface of the
earth or beneath it, on the surface of the sea or under it, will pre-
vent any enemy, whatever may be his number or force, from ap-
proaching the frontiers of a country, or the entrance of a sea-port ;
this machine, which may be divided into parts, may be placed, as
occasion may require, in the manner of artillery, and by the effects it
is calculated to produce protects by itself, without need of direction,
the nation possessing its secret. On the sea it will blow vessels of
war out of the water; on land, it will annihilate armies or detach-
ments. By means of this machine, fortifications of every kind will
be rendered useless.
