We learn from the London Atlas, that an
ingenious piece Of mechanism has lately
been invented by young Louis Napoleon
BuonaParte, for tho firing Of artillery. 1t
affords the important advantage Of firing the
guns IN the wettest weather, without printing
them, with much greater expedition than
usual, and with perfect certainty and safety
Experiments have been made in England
since his arrival, and have completely sue
ceeded. Artillery seems to form the prin-
cipal study Of this young Prince, as it did that
Of his great uncle Napoleon in his earliest
years.
