LONDON, October 6.-The export of arms
and munitions of war from England to
France has greatly increased in the last
fortnight. Orders have been received in
the past few days of such magnitude that
it is impossible to execute them all. They
are for arms of every description, for pow
der, for cartridges and caps. Enormous
quantities are already sent forward, and
millions Of pounds of powder have been
shipped from England.

against supplying France with these articles
has aroused great indignation among the
English people, and is producing an effect
directly opposite to that which was ex-
pected. The English government has been
alarmed but no longer leads English opinion.

could do so.
