CONTRACTS FOR ARMS.
Prew die itirsegitass Journal.
The London Newspapers, within these few days, have fa-
voured the public with a variety of statements as to the war-
like preparations which have been set on foot in most of the
greet States of Europe, and the contracts which have been
entered into with English manufacturers for the supply of
isrets to France, Ronda, and Prussia. In one account it is
rated that 500,000 stand of arms are in course of miunifac-
ssue for France, 600,000 for Russia, and 300,000 for Prus •
Isla. Having made special inquiry into the subject, we can
imafidently say, that most of the statements so put forth are
Incorrect, although some are partially true. The following
fill be found to be the facts :
In the month of November lest, the Frenob Government
dispetcbed agents* Birmingham ,where they were led to no-
derstentithey might upon the instant purchase from 400,000
to 500,000 stand of arms. The contemplated use of these
arms, was the euiajpinent of the National Guard. Upon in-
quiry, howem, We French agents found they were mistaken'
as to the amodrit of ready made muskets to be obtained in this:
town, and were, in consequence, recommeedcd by the Bit -
mingham manufacturer', to apply to the British Govern-
ment for assistance. Ever since the close of the war, a large
depot of arms had been established in the tower ; and it we"
known to our makers from repeated conferences with Sir H.
Raidinge, and other late others in the ordnance department,
that of this warlike stock the government were dearness to
dispose. Accordingly, the French agents adopted this ad-
vice, and immediately entered into a negotiation with the
English Government. At first their application appeared to
be decidedly successful ; but subsequently, owing either to
the unsettled state of Ireland, or the commotions, and threat-
toning prospect of our own country, the government declined
to part with the arms. This immediately led to a renewal
of the correspondence with the Birmingham manufacturers ;
the principal agent on the part of the French Government,
being Mr. Rothschild. The total number stated to be
required by the French Government, is 140,000
stand of arms, and not, as stated by the London papers,
500,000, and 1,400,000. As yet, however, the only order
given, is for 20,000 ; the contractors for the supply of
which are Wheeler and Son; Wooley, Sergeant and Felix ;
Ketland and Co. and Mr. Adams, of this town;
_scul
Brander, and Putts ; Barnett and Son, and Lacy, an 11,11.
ton, of London. The period stipulated for the executions(
this first contract, is limited to the month of January, and
is now nearly, if not entirely fulfilled. The contracts for
the remaining 120,000 arms, we have reason to believe, was
confirmed by the French Government, or their agents, on
Saturday last. The whole of this contract is required to be
completed in seven months.
Great mistakes have bees .propagated as to the prices for
which the English manufacturers offered to eremite the
contracts. The price of eech nitisket is not as fated, 37
francs, or about 30*. sterling ; but shout 28 fano, or shout
235. sterling. Some idea may be formed of the reduc-
tion which has taken place in this, as in all other branches
of manufacture when the fact is known, that during the
war, the OnSe:iry contract price of the =wads supplied
to the British Government was just 365. The prices
now paid by the French, are, however, considered libe-
ls). The effect which this acceptable almc has cg c4l in
Birmingham, is alreadY visible. Owing to the long com-
parative extinction of the trade, since the close of the war,
the operative departments had been abandoned by workmen,
for other more certain and permanent employment. 'These
men, elated by the temporary prospect afforded by the ,
present contract, are now, in numbers returning td their
old avocations. For dun-lacks. , daring the begin-
ning of last year was Aid la. 2d. ~ , t Inteofetleiere
are now glad to give 2i. hd. ' open this pace, .we
may correct an error into which one of our metropolitan con
temporaries has fallen regarding the capability of Bhmirig-
ham in the fabrication of fire-arms. The same paper Wiiich
states the recent centrists as amounting 4o 1,400,000
stand of arms. asserts that the Birmingham manufacturers
would require 14 years for the completion of so extensive an
order. In the year 1813, there were fabricated in Birming-
ham for the Board of Ordnance not less than 320,6435 tend of
aims, and in 1812, 288,741. From the MUMMA let forth in
this pamphlet from authorised returns, it further appears,
from 1804 to 1815, more than two-thirds of the fire-arms
made for the Board of Ordnance during war, were made in
Birmingham. Allowing for the reduction in she 'toolbar of
hands which has necessarily taken place within these few
years, there is no doubt but at the present time the manu-
facturers of Birmingham could set up 200,000 stand of arms
per annum, while those of London would produce from
80,000 to 100,000.
The last error propounded by the London press, which we
shall notice, is the report of contracts for supply of arms
being entered into with Russia and -Prussia. Applications,
as far as we can barn, have .not been received from either of%
those countries. Holland and Belgium have been in the
market, but the wait of money, and the insecurity of all .
engagements at the present moment, speedily put an sod to
all negotiation.
Poland, too, has bad its agents in Birmingham ; but the
singularly novel and unsafe condition it :required how our
gun manufacturers, has_prevented, up to "him time, any con-
4rect being accepted. The condition demanded, was the
,safe delivery of the arms in Poland ! If we are to judge
the amount of new arms required by .the Poles, their'
army will not enter the field in such insignificant numbers,:
as some of the Fren* papers give the world to uoderstencl.
The application to the Birmingham manufacturers, was :for
50,000 stand.
We understand thataillity'sMinisters have come
to the resolution of recommending she repeal of the tax
on coal carried coastwise. There is no impost in existence 1
that has less to justify it. It levied on a necessery Tof life,
on the poor, in a limited district. 1t is vicious in principle,
oppressive and partial in operation. To crown its delinqtien- ;
ace. it is comparatively unproductive. The tax 'which in- i
llicts so much mischief on the ovule's of mine" and of ship-
ping, as well as on consumers, brings into the Exelieqder
only 800,0001. per annum. With the tax, we understand,

The public will then be free to purchase their coals on that
same principle and in the same way as they purchase other
marketable articles, without the intervention of a dozen of
legalized middlemen, every one adding hi. per-tentage of
price to goods whose value his labours do not enhance.
