authoritative voice to explain the veri-
table conditions OF England's naval
power, else the French may jump to
some conclusion or rush into some folly
that they would 2Teqadre a century to
bemoan. Swift sailing warships with a
few heavy guns, and all the torpedo ct
eeteTGs, is the ideal of the French navy.
The immense number of dock yards
that England possesses could enable her
to ftdf4f out fleets, but such requires
time.
General LewaliS RANKED as one of the
best soldiers in the service. He belongs
to the modern school, and will ere long
be Minister of war He commands the
18th. Corps d Armee, and has carried
out a few of his ideas at this seasons
autumn manoeuvres. He does not con-:
slider the days for cavalry to be over, as
somesauthoritieS Ao.fniOn the contrary +,
the e0mfiien eemeiit aofs the wars of the
future will be immense cavalry dashes,
and advances to ascertain the enemy'S
positions and force, and to screen their
own. The General holds, that hence
forth there will be more marchings and
fewer battles. The combatant who can
coneehtfate the largest body of troops
in a selected position in the shortest
time will have the greatest number of
shanees for. success. 1t was in this
sense that Carnot, under Napoleon L.,
received the compliment of organizer
of victories" General Lewal has tabu-
lated with mathematical precision, the
time required for a Corps d. Armee,
marching with all material in single file
to the point of concentration. He is
favorable to the American plan of raid
ing; that ef-FidiRg through an enefny's
camp, ascertaining its condition, and
returning by another and distant route,
t5 lis 6EFn llneS-destroying at the same
time the communications and sources
of supplies of the foe. During 1870 the
German cavalry made a dash ross
rAIsace up TO the very Headquarters of
.MaeMshOn. Another reformation the
General faVors is the formation OF flying
battalions of volunteers or franc tireurS
who will clear the way for the grand
operations Of the army.

AGITATION FOR FREE TRADE.
Pure loves labor lost. The manner 70

the masses, is omhipotence itself. BY
cIapping on heavy customs duties,
France excludes the foreigner, who not
only desires to carry of the wealth OF
France, but to reduce her TO 4 second
class power. -. Gambetta, who was an
aristocrat up to the point where his will
was discarded, ever shirked the question
of free trade as well as the separation OF
church from state. 4Ie was the erigina-
tor of the spirited colonial policy, !"
