Preparation for War-EngIand UnderzNsusng
/ -AAerica Asleep.
| From the Irish American, July 9I
In the Dublin Saunders' Nescs Letter OF the 2lst
of June. received by the Baltic we find, in the wmy
and navy intelligence OF that conservative and eDv-
ernment paper, the following startling facts, 10
which we direct the special attention OF our govern
| ment, and invite the serious consideration OF our
| fellow citizens
| AUGMENTATION or THE ARMY IN CANADA
In addition TO the troops their passage Canada
and Halifax Nova Scotia, four regiments OF infantry aud
readiness for the same destination, and it stated TO be
the intention OF government further 20 augment the army
IN the North American colonies, by reinorcement fo
the German and Swiss legons.
In addition to the augmentation Of the army, we
have another announcement equally portentous:-
MUNITIONS FOR CANADA
The number OF ball cartridges required for the servc0
OF the troops in the North American Colonies 0O9
rounds in addition TO the quantity upwards OF 000
rounds expected to be returned into the Royal Arsenal
Woolwich from the Crimea, which will form portion or
the munitions OF war for the troops In America An
tnsve contract for revovts has been entered into by
the government being intended to furnish the light
troops with that formidable weapon.
ESQ 900 rounds Of ball cartridge TO form only
portion of the munitions of war for Canada And
then the revolvers-what are they for? Amuse-
ment? Target shooting? Pistol gallery practiceS
Or for what? For hand to fist fighting on the Ca
weapon? Let US proceed. We come to the
HOUSEHOLD TROOPS FOR FOREIGN SERVICE
II is intended by the government to send two battaI
ions of the household infantry Canada orders o
readiness for embarkaon expected at their head
quarters hourly II Is believed that the I'd battalion of
streams will be destined for the service These bat
taons are out every morning for threehours and again
after breakfast for three hours practising field evoutons
The Grenadier Guards and C0ldstream Guards,
being household troops, seldom sent on foreign
service. In this it is evident they sent 10
Canada because IL would be unreasonable to detan
the Crmean troops further active duty after the
terrible ordeal through which they have passed.
Besides, these household troops are all English and
Scotch. No Irish are to be found amongst them.
They are English and Scotch Pr0testants, dyed in
the wool; and in case Of collision here with Irish
Americans, they could be calculated on stannch
Cromwellans- But we have one more paragraph
to add
RECRUITING FOR TIE ARMy
Orders have been issued by Lerd Panmure that all
nry regiments serving or orders for the North
American colonies shall be increased 200 rank

don and Palmerston declared that the movement OF
troops to Canada and the transmission OF munitions
Of war were merely to supply the place Of those
withdrawn for service in the Crmea, and to replace
the munitions removed on that occasion.
Facts and figures given above from an official
Irish English organ, go to prove that such state

Of the truth. They go to prove that England Is pre-

Our opinion and caution and warning may not be

value; but as loyal and faithful citizen-one whose
