the Government to select the best arm for the service; 
and after examining over one hundred different sys¬ 
tems, including the best guns of Europe, say of it,

SEEN,OR OF WHICH THEY HAVE ANY KNOVv L- 
EDGE; THEREFORE RECOMMEND IT’ FOR

merous demands, ana will have them in the mar¬ 
ket ere long. H .
