LONDON, Sept. 18Th, (Evenins)-We have al
ready referred 10 the eTirGorGinary warike pre-
parations that are making Il, the naval yards OF
The kingdom; betokening sGmc indications of an
anti ipation that peace may be interrupted. We
nov find, from 40 ther and distant quarter 4
further confirmation OF these approximations on
the part Of the Government. The several COVER
nors Of the West India colonies have received
instructions from he office al home 10 re-embody
The Colonial Militia, which, for some years past,
have been in allowance; and as there is nothing
in the internal condition Of these colonies lc rem
der such force ssarv, The inference is that
this precaulion is required BY some darkenins
clouds in our foreign relations France and
America are the only two countries by which The
west lnQlP5 CUnN ne USS1leu. w ilU WHICH VI
these powers are we hhelv to come into collision :;
or, is there chance that we may have them
both on our hands al the same timer The
extraordinary eXeri5ns that are making to equip
s,eam-vessels Of considerable power and force,
leave the parlicul enemy uncertain. Steam
vessels 10 war with France woud be indcspen-
sable both for offensive and defensive operations,
bur, above all for the protection otourradc Again;
steam vessels are iusrhat description OF force that

ton in war with America. They are the
class of vessels best suite for the rivers OF that
country; they could carr war into The very heart
of the United States; they could keep every Town
and village in Constant state OF alarm for lis
safety. Steam ships, lhen, woald apply equally
10 France or America, aud nothing can be deci-
dedy inferred from their equipment But The
block ships-theSc, rs we have shown in an ari-
Gle Yesterday, can only be intended 10 Isl a
Fr-nch invasion. They could moi be made avail
abe in America, or in any other distant quarter;
they arr Channel and not transatlantic ar

Our spevulation>, wc admit, may be visionary,
but they ale specula,ions which We have right
10 entertain. The equipment Of the advanced
ships NAV have no other intention than The put
ting The country 10 that stale of maratimc pre-
paraiion which we have always commended is in
dispensab!e 10 her position as great naval COM
merc,al and colonial empire Still there is an
earnestness and haste in bringing them forward
that would betoken something more than mere
formal matter OF routne-a mere concession 10
public opinion; while the connecting links-the
block ships an The Colonial Mitia-aprear 10
indicate want Of confidence in our present pa
