movable breeeh-loader has been considered
BY scientific officers as defective, and pkacti-
cally without serious advantage. II Is true,
as has been stated, that at the express desire
ago, a musket which tried ut Bas-Me1don,
} and Gen. Fayre had been ordered to make the
experiment. On that occasion l fired o-e
hundred and twenty-essht cartridges at the
fate Or seven per minute, and the weapon,
though burning hot, war In perfect condition.
The inside OF the barrel was as clean as after
one discharge. 1t was also Ared by another
officer who was present, Capt. Resy. re-
NAMED ignorant for long time OF tha report
Of 6s.i. Farre, and obtained permission last
&ar to again examine the arm. It had been
lat, inyoluntarilY, no doubt, in a state unfit
for use, and | did not PIE sent ii to tie Minis
ter Of War, because all those on whom de-
pended the solution OF the question Invariably
answered, "The French soldier fires too
qnickly." The object Of this letter does not
GLOW OF details which do not concern myself.
Permit me to add, however, that my arm hns
no other analogy With the Prrssian than the
movable hreech, and that practical men,
ffench, Russian, English, Prusslau aud Span-
lsh onleess-Tho make use Of 1t place 1t lar
ABOVE the Prusslan arm, and above Ill others
IN use at the present day.
