ThH Rff1fd Cannon.

The new cannons, which have just been SUBJ
stitut2d for the old material in the French army,
ure all ritled. The calitres are but two; calibre
Of 12 for siege; calibre Of ! for field guns. The
Low. They strike as solid ball, and burst like
shells. Their shape is conica1; they are proyi-
ded with lead projections, which enter the
grooves inside the canon, and insure great pre-
cision in firing The canon Of l2 tells more
against foFtificaton than the enormous calibrc
tried in England. They have been tried as fol-
lows: Two similar heavy blocks of masonry
was mounted before the first ut 81; yards,
the usual distance for making breach, A
battery Of Il (ncw ptan} was placed before the
other ut about double that distance--nnmely, Il
yards. 1t required half the number Of shot
from the new cannon to make rs wide breach
as was nude By the old one. The balls entered
tue masonry 81 inches deep, and then exploded,
new cannon was tts- 10 ounces Of powder !;
the churge Of the old one was Is Tbs. The SUI
periorty Of the field-piece is still more marked;
it weighs less than GtO lbs, and six men can car
r. it On their shoulders through difficult de-
tic. ltrequircs only ID. Of powder, and sends
j ball ,4oU yards with such e1actness, that it is
easy to hit single horseman ut $500 Yards
The explosive power Of these balls is enormous
as was lately exhibited by the death Of Gen.
Ardent, This officer was watching the expert
n,ents through horizontal long hole 1-lith Of
an inch high, ut distance Of G5 yards from the
place where the ball burst 4 particle Of iron
extremely small struck him With sufficient force
IL break his skull and to cause instant death.
From tue ADORE description, We arc inclined to
lost On the French Government, and that they
must charge their hollow balls with something
quicker than common powder; they use either
Illuminating or cotton powder
