gun and that our soldiers viii shortly be provided
with neede-guns, on an improved principle

army.
i Ithad been rumored that Austria had secret
allies, who would declare themselves iu the hour
Of need, but we still wait for confirmation of
the report. Russia can move neither foot nor

Hapsburgs from this quarter, and the proud house
of Austria must now depend upon its own energy
To drive away the Hohenzollerns from Bohemia
and Silesia.

been submitted by him for inspection to the gov
F ernment army committee, the said committee
coniscated the gun, not wishing it to be made use

committee was composed, were adverse to chang

deprived of valuable instrumental war to taking
the trouble to study the new system.

Il On Monday last grand banquet was given at
Limaraleys restaurant, in the Rue Rieheleu to
celebrate the permission Of the sale Of horse flesh

posed Of that meat, and even the salad was
dressed with horse oil. The banquet was q most
successtul affair, and all present seemed to find

The introduction of this meat as an article of
