Arsenal Oh Thursday. The Despatch Contai...
Arsenal oh Thursday . The despatch contained important instructions for the hasty preparation of art abundant supply , of war materials , to be ready for any sudden emergency . The heads of departments were yesterday summoned to meet in committee at the War Department , Pall-mall . Upwards of 10 O siege and other guns have been sent to Gibraltar during the present . month , and a corresponding number to Malta arid the Ionian Islands .
NAVAL AND MILITARY . It was reported in the beginning of the week at Portsmouth that the Channel fleet had put to sea under sealed orders—it is said for the Adriatic . The Admiralty have given directions for the Channel Fleet to be supplied with Redl ' s cone signals , and preparations are being made accordingly in the Devonport Dockyard . Redl ' s mode has been practised in Plymouth Harbour for the last six months . It is cheap , simple , and very rapid , and is also adapted for use by the steam whistle of a gunboat , or by a bugle , bell , & c , in case of fog . All vessels in the second-class steam reserve at Portsmouth have been ordered to receive on board their heavy weights immediately , such as theif cables , gun carriages , & c . ; also requesting to be furnished with a number of stokers available for service in the first and second class steam reserve .
A new French gunboat has arrived in the Seine at Paris , constructed after the plans of Admiral Dupony . The gun is a rifled , breech-loading cannon , throwing a cylindrical ball of 48 lbs . weight with effect from 3 , 000 or 4 , 000 yards . The gun does not turn independently of the boat , which is provided with two rudders , fore and aft , so that the vessel always lies in the line of firing , and exposes only its prow to the enemy . The gunners are protected by a shield through an aperture in which the cannon is fired . This shield is-curved—in fact , is nearly semicircular , and consists of iron plates , four inches thick laid upon an oalc framing , three times thicker . The boat carries a crew of twelve , and . is propelled by a screw , worked by an engine of eighteen-horse power . It is flat-bottomed , and capable of a speed of 8 to 8 3 knots an hour . It carries only two sails , one a square , the other a jib .
The opinion is ? daily gaining strength among all classes , that steps must no longer be delayed to place the country in a condition of defence , which will render . arty attempt at invasion hopeless .. The important news of the alliance offensive and defensive between France and Russia must be considered as bearing directly upon the matter , and as increasing the urgency for immediate action . The columns of some of Our contemporaries contain numerous letters on the formation of volunteer rifle corps , both horse and foot . There can be little doubt of the wisdom of the suggestion , and we trust that the class prejudices of those at the head of the military affairs of the nation , will no longer prevent the encouragement of such battalions , which there most certainly would prove to be not only of the greatest service , but also highly popular among young men of . all
classes . The garrison of Alderney is being increased with infantry of the line , and also with artillery . Major-General Sir William Fenwick Williams , Bart , ( of liars ) , K . C . B ., has been appointed to the Comniand-in-Cliief of the Forces in Canada . The Post announces that tho whole militia of the United Kingdom is ttf bo ombodied forthwith . . The Wellington , 72 , is commissioned for a steam ordinary guardship . Tho ICxmouth , 90 , screw , was commissioned on Monday for sea service . Tho James Watt , 91 , screw , has boon taken from Keyhnm Basin to her sailing moorings on Monday . Tho Algiers , 91 , screw , has been taken into dock to have delects made good . All the ships in tho firstclass steam ordinary aro to bo taken into clock to have any defects made good that aro required ,
> By the latest advices from Malta , we learn that tho Mediterranean fleet , under tho command of Admiral Fnnshawo , which has boon roinforood , was " under sailing orders for a cruise as far as Tunis , which may perhaps bo extended to the Straits of Gibraltar . " Sir John Bm'goyno inspected the oxtonsivo fortifications and other works at Portland , last woek , and wont over the broakw ' ator and prison . The number of workmen and convicts . will bo materially increased , and the new fortress and batteries will soon assume a formidable appearance . The main portion of tho
breakwator is fust approaching its completion . Twenty-seven gunboats of vory light draught , together with Home vossola of larger sizo , uro at prosont building on tho Thames for tho Spanish Governmont . In the present relations of Spain , surmises naturally ariso that she might possibly , in such matters , bo acting merely as an agont for others . Tho Inhabitants of Birkonhoiul aro about raising a volunteor rillo corps , an uddrosa having boon isauod yestorday , calling upon ' tho gontlemon l'osldontin the township to join the "Birkonhoad and Choshlro Rifle Club , " now in proooss of enrolment .

Continental Notes. France—Rumoured Treat...
CONTINENTAL NOTES . FRANCE—RUMOURED TREATY WITH . RUSSIA : NEW LOAN : WAR MOVEMENTS . The most important news of the week arrived on Wednesday from Berlin , to the effect that , a treaty , offensive and defensive , between Russia and France , was concluded on Friday last ; according to which , Russia is to make her first mobilisation of four corps d ' armee , tAVO of which are to be advanced towards the Austrian and two towards the Prussian frontier-On this head the Times said the next day , "We believe we are correct in stating that there axe two Secret Treaties now existing between France and
Russia . By the first , Russia binds herself , in the event of France entering upon a war with . Austria , to assist her by the co-operation of her fleets in the Baltic and Mediterranean , and , besides , to place an army of observation of not less than 50 , 000 men upon the Austrian frontier . By the second Treatyv Russia is bound to declare war against Austria ; within fifteen days after she enters Piedmont . ' * How far this announcement is founded on fact remains to be seen . The Constitutionnet was instantly ordered to contradict the news , as totally without foundation , while the correspondent of the Daily News writes on Thursday ; : — " I have good autho ~
rity for stating that there is no truth in the statement that an offensive and defensive treaty of alliance has been contracted between Russia and France . All that has passed is limited to a mere convention . " The Jbaily JVews adds : — - . " The . agreement is not directed against England , but is intended to . ensure the neutrality of the rest of Europe while France and Austria fight in Italy . Its aim is to circumscribe the horrors and calami ^ ties of war by confining hostilities to their original theatre , between the Alps and the Mediterranean * ' * The Patrie of Thursday says : — " If the Austrian army has not continued the offensive movement
which it had begun , it is because the Austrian Cabinet has accepted the mediation proposed by-England . At the same time we are assured that the French Government has taken the offer of England into consideration . If this last news be correct , France may be convinced that this fresh evidence of moderation will not be given unless all guarantees be reserved which the present state of . affairs demands . " This is in direct contradiction to the report which was spread in London on the same day by the Tinies and Herald , that France has declined the offer made by the British Government . Another version of the state of the case appears in the Nord , as follows : — - " The neutrality of England arid Prussia seems to
be assured , the qabinet of the TuUeries having received from those Powers tho most satisfactory assurances as regards France . Baron Hubncr has not yet left Ms post at Paris , but every arrangement is made for his dopartu . ro at a moment ' s "warning' . The Emperor Napoleon has notified to the English Government that he has felt himself obliged to send a Fronch army of occupation Immediately into the Sardinian territory for tho x > urpose of being in time to protect his ally against the attack of Austria . Tho cabinot of London has replied that , under tho oxisting circumstundos , England will offer no objection . " We trust that this faint hopo of peaoo may be fulfilled , in the meantime tho Fronch legions aro swarming to the scono of action in Piedmont .
Eight tVigatos sailod from Toulon on Tuosduy morning with troops . Soveral Sardinian stoamors aro expected at Toulon to tako JhYonoU troops . There are already throo divisions of French troopa eonoontratod at Susa , fifty milos irom Turin . General Niol , who is to command tlio 4 th corps , has loifc Paris for tho army of Italy .
