731 E AIIERICAN MITIMILLEER,
DeseriptlOn of the raMOUS " COffee-Itnit."
The- IP °rid has the fdllowing
So much has been said about the French
Mitrailleur that its construction is now fairly un
derstood, but -its form and appearance .
_are still_
unknown to the ordinary reader. We give an
illustration. of the American Mitrailleur, which
it resembles, and which is constructed and
worked on the same principle. We also illus
trate the cartridge used. Up to present
the value of the Mitrailleur in the - Franco-
Frnssian War does not Seem to have been - very
great, but doubtless its effectiveness will be
more fully demonsttated.
This gun, in its fundatnental principles—that
is to say, in its mechanical construction and
operation—is essentially different from all
others, and not a single part of it, except the
barrels, is like that of any other gun. It is,
therefore, not an improvement upon an old
system, but is an original invention. To give
the reader an idea of its character, it may be
said that it can be fired, when Well manned,
from four hundred' to five hundred times per
minute.
TILE MAIN FEATURES
of the gun may be summed up as follows: Ist.
It has as many locks as there are barrels, and
all the locks revolve with the barrels. The
locks also have, will n the gun is in operation,
a'reCiprocatina motion. The forward motion
of the locks places the cartridges in • the rear
endS of the barrels, and closes the breech at the
time of each discharge, while the return move
ment extracts the cartridge shells after they
,c
bare been tir . When the ten-barrel gun is
being fired, ere are five cartridges at all times
in the pro' ss of loading and firing, and at the
same-thare five of the shells, after they hare
been fired, are in different stages of being ex
tracted. These, several operations are con
tinuous when the gun is in operation. In
other words, as long as the gun is supplied
- with cartridges ( which is done by means of
"feed-cases," in which they are trans Ported),
the several operationS of loading, firing, and
extracting the cartridge shells are carried on
Muomatically, uniformly, and continuously.
The locks operate •on a line with the axes of
the barrels, and are not attached to any part of
the gun, but as the gun is made to - revolve they
play back and forth in the cavities in which
they work, like a weaver's shuttle, performing
their functions of loading and firing by their
impingement .on stationary- inclined planes-or
spiral projecting surfaces. it can be loaded and
fired only when the barrels are in motion, that
is to say, when the barrels, inner breech, ocks,
• &c., are being revolved. It may justly be
termed
A C'oNPOEND :MACUTNE 1:UN;
since the ten barrels, each being furnished with
its own loading and firing apparatus, form, as
it were, ten guns in one. This is a valuable
feature, for in the event of one of the locks or
barrels becoming impaired, the remaining ones
-can-still be used effectively. The gun bears .
the same. relation to ordinary fire-arms that the
printing-press does to the pen, or the railway to
the stage-coach. It is no exaggeration to say
that this system marks the commencement of a
new-era in the history of implements of war.
._,lt_will,_no-doubt,-be the means of revolution—
iiing, in a great degree, the present modes of
warfare..--A'few men furnished with these
death-dealing etigineS will be able to defeat
thousands.armed with ordinary weapons. It
may safely be said that no other guns which
can be rapidly fired, have so great a range and
,accuracy as the lamer sized_Gatlingguns,which
have an effective range of from two thousand
to-three-thousand yards. The gun is regarded
by master artnorers and skilful mechanics as
one of the most beautiful .anci_pet feet speci
mens of mechanism ever in Vented. Officers of
the highest intelligence admit and recognize its
effectiveness and value as an implement of war
fare. The gun and its ammunition have re
- .tiy-bee.o
GREATLY IMPROVED
in the following particulars: The locks are now
made with improved extractors, winch never
fail to remove the cartridge shells from the
chambers of the barrels after they- have been
discharged. The locks can be put in or taken
out without taking the gun apart. The method
of supplying the guu with cartridges has also
been greatly improved, so that they can now
be continuously fed to the gun with regularity
and certainty from 4, feed-cases," through the
hopper, even when the gun is operated by in
experienced men. The cartridges are now
made of much stouter material than formerly,
and with solid beads, and they can be re
loaded and fired a great number of times, thus
greatly lessening the cost of this kind of am
munition. The shells of these improved
cartridges are so strong as to make it impossible
for the heads to burst even when
double charges are used. A new
cocking device is now added, which can
be so adjusted as to allow the gun to be
revolved H itbout snapping when not iu service.
THE PHINcIi'AL SIZES
manufactured are as follows: The smallest
size has ten.steel rifled barrels, and is made of
any proper calibre to suit the musket cartridges
used by different governments. The second
sized gun has ten steel rifled barrels, is 75-100
inch calibre, and.discharges solid lead balls of
41 oz. in weight. The third, or largest sized
gun, shown in our engraving, is of one-inch
calibre, is made with six (sometimes with ten)
barrels, and discharges solid lead balls s lb. in
'weight. This gun also uses a canister cartridge
which contains sixteen balls. It also discharges
explosive balls with great died._ This gun (as
well as the 75-100 calibre) has an effective
range far greater than that of musketry, and
the great precision of its fire gives it an advan
tage over most field artillery. To give the
reader
AN IDEA OF ITs EFFE( Tiv - ExEss, •
it may be said one hundred pounds of lead can
be discharged from the gun per minute ; that
is to say, the gun can easily,when well manned,
discharge two hundred balk per Infiite, each
ball weighing a half-pound, and having a range
fully equal to that of the best field artillery. It
is confidently believed that the electiveness—
the killing power—of two hundred balls tired
from this gun per minute, is greater than that • '
of shells filed from au ordinary held cannon.
The half-pound balls tired from the one-inch
calibre (Jading gull have greater penetrative
force at one thousand yards than fragments of
shells discharged from artillery at the same dis
tance ; moreover, balls fired from the Gatlin.;
guns have more riehochet than fragments of
shells. These guns, after a long series of trials
conducted by army officers of high standing,
have been adopted by the I Inited States gov
ernment, and one hundred of them have been
been purchased by that government since the
close of the late war. One of the leading
powers of Europe has also adopted the Galling
gun, it is said, and has.given two orders for
them which are now being executed by the
Colt's Company. Many other governments have
purchased these guns in smaller quantities.

The gun certainly possesses the advantages
of rapidity and accuracy, and loads -and tires
while the barrels are revolving. There is no
'escape of gas at the breech; it has one lock for
each barrel, so that in the event of one barrel
or lock beconiffig disabled, the gun is S'

ent, as the rest of - the barrels and locks can
be used without difficulty. -
A peculiar and valuable feature in this gun.
consists ju its not having sufficient recoil im

of each discharge. This is a very great ad
vantage, inasmuch as bridges, fords, roadways,
&c.,can be protected with the gun as well at
night in the daytime. it is only necessary
in order to defend' a desired place at night to
aim the piece in - daytime so as to cover this
particular point, and in case the enemy, at
night, should attempt to approach it, a torrent
of balls can be discharged in the direction with
unerring precision and with deadly effect.
With this arm, no time is lust in sighting after
the first discharge. if desirable. a lateral 'no
tion may be given to the gun while it'isbeiuz.
discharged, so that
A PRIZFECT SITEET OF lIALLS
can be niade' , ,to sweep the sector of a circle
within its range. The use of this kind of fire
arms will, no doubt, in a great degree supet ,
sede the necessity of large armies, for with it
a few men can be made to do the work of
many, and hundreds of the guns can be put in
the field for what it would cost to equip and
pay a few regiments. In this gun the opera
tion of loading is greatly simplified. There is
no need of sponging, capping, priming, adjust
ing of fuses, Cocking, &c. Ail thatis required
is to supply the hopper with =fridges andturn
the crank, when a continuous stream of balls
can be dischateed.
NEW RECRUITS
may be taught the use of this gun, in camp,
without any waste of ammunition. When the
knob is so turned as to prevent snapping or
firing, cartridges can be fed to the gulls from
the " feed-case," and the operations of loading
and extractingthem,eau be carried on without
Ming, in this waysoldiers cati easily become
familiar with its workings. As stated hereto
fore, the cartridges used with this and one-inch
calibre guns have been greatly improved. The
cartridge shells are now manufactured from
much stouter material than formerly, and are
made with solid heads, solder being placed in
their bases, thus enabling them to withstand
the heaviest charges without the possibility of
their being burst. The shells can be reloaded
and fired again for fifty. or more times. These
-shells being thus utilized, the cost for ammu
nition will but little more than that of the
lead and powder used in reloading. The
flanges of the cartridges have square faces in
front, which enable the shells to be easily ex
tracted from the chambers of the barrels, after
they have been fired. The carriage upon
wbich the gun is mounted-has-also:been-much
improved. It has an adjustment which enables
one to give the gun, when it is fired, a lateral
motion, so as to sweep the sector of a circle of
more than twelve degrees, without moving the
wheels or the-trail of the carriage. By this
arrangement the stream of balls can be directed
in the same way as water from a hose-pipe,
and made to cover five hundred yards or more
of the enemy's front- without interrupting its
own continuous fire.
This gun can -be discharged with great ra
pidity, but always by means of. single shots in
rapid succession, so that the tendency to recoil
is only that produced by one shot, and this is
entirely overcome, as above stated, by the
weight of the gun and carriage, and by a sim
ple device attached to the trail. The true
elevations having, therefore, been once ob
tained, any desired number of shots may be
rapidly tired •
WITH Act 1; HACY, WITHOUT REqOHTINO
or further adjustment of the gun. These are
advantages not possessed by any other kind of
fire-arms. The rapidity and continuity of the
discharge of the gun gives to its performance
the greatest destructive effect. Few troops can
be found so brave as to contend against such a
terrible and fearful engine of warfare. In
contrasting tarfets representing one used by a
company of infantry, numbei ing one hundred,
and aimed with " needle guns,' and showing
the one fired upon by those operating the Gat
ling gun, it v\ ill be seen that the Gatling put
eighty-eight, per cent. of shots in a target at
eight hundred paces,while those tired by soldiers
who took deliberate aim, at a similar target
at the same distance, gave only 27 per cent. of
"hits." 'I his dilleieuce would be, perhaps, still
greater in time of action, owing to smoke and
excitement. The / Shooting of the Gratling is
certainly of the very best kind. Some critical
orliceis may object to the use of this class of
fin-alms, as sonic of them did a few years ago
to the breech-loading muskets, but it is no
certain that the day will soon come when the
latter will be used by all enlightened nations,
as the fallacy of the objections urge d against
breech-loaders has been demonstrated, and
the criticisms proved to be of no weight or
force. The gun is strong and durable, and is
in every respect a hrst-class weapon. It can
be easily transported, and if need be, can be
taken apart, and its several parts packed on
horses or mules, when carrying on warfare in a
mountainous region, and can in a few minutes
be made ready for action. There is

etlectiveness is none the less. It is geT, era l y

THE NEW FRENCH PREHIER.
The Two Other Prominent ~,Freneb
Below we give a Sketch of the career of
Count de Palikao, French Minister of War,
who was entrusted by the Corps Lepislatif
with the iprniation of the new Fteueh Min
istry_;
Count de PaElia° is i4yearsof a4e.:: His full
name is Charles Guillaume Marie Cousin de
Montauban, Count - de Palikao, and he was
born on the 24th of June, PIM He w'as em
ployed at an early age in AlgierS, and distin
guished himself there as cavalry officer. On
September 4, 1536, he-Was made chief of a
squadron of, horse, on the 'Ph of May, 1843,
hentenant-colonel, and on the 2d of August,
1845, colonel of the 2d Chasseurs. lie be
came general of brigade on the 21st of Sep
teMber, 1851, and commanded the division of
Tlemeen; general of division after the 28th of
September, 1835, be commanded the. Division
of Constantine. Recalled to Fratic6Oie was
put at the head of the 21st Military Divi
sion during the siege of Limo g es. The
year 1560 was marked in the life of General
Cousin-Montauban by one:of, the most extra
ordinary events of modern history.—• Invested,. ;
with the chief' command of the French
dit ion into China, he had the honor of accom
plishing that almost fabulous invasion which
brought the arms and banners Of the French
and English .even_ to the capital. of this vast and
distant empire. The capture of the forts of
Taken at the mouth of the Peiho on the 20th
of August, the great victory of Palikao over
General Sang-ko-hio-sin, on the 21st of Septem
ber, the destruction of the royal palace, the
entry into Pekin on the 13th of OetOber, forced
the Chinese to accept the treaties imposed by
the allies, and assured, at least temporarily,
the respect of European interests in the extreme
East. The General left there at the end of the
same year, and returned by the way of Japan,
many of t hose principal cities .he visited,
and re-entered France in the month of ,
Jtily, 1561. In reConiperiSe ter these great
successes, the Emperor had already elevated
him to the dignity of the grand cross of the
Leeion of honor on the - 26th of Decemlier,
1560, and had made hint Senator on the 4th of
March, 1561. On the 22d of January, 1862,
he conferred on him the title of .Count de Pali
Lao, and submitted to the Corps Legislate a
in eject, of pensioning him, which excited a
!hely opposition there. The general demanded
its withdrawal; the Emperor oppesed tbis„ and
the project was accepted by the ChaMber with
a utt.thbeation. On the '.2211 of June; 1865, he
was made, in place of Marshal Caurobert, who
was called to Paris, commander of the 4th
Army Corps, of which the headqumrters are at
LAUDS, alai of the sth Military Division. He
was Made commander of the Legion of Honor
on the of December, 1848, and Grand
Officer 25th of December, 1:350. In 1860, when
Le was given the grand cross, he could count
fri ) -tw o years of effective service, twenty
eight campaigns, and one wound.
At this critical niourent,when France, and in
fact all Europe, is in such a fever of excite
ment, ir may be of interest to our readers to
gise a short account of the lives and doings of
a tew of the prominent Generals of the con
temlina armies.
MarTsiial Francois Acbille , Bazaine.-the nomi
nal new Commander-hi-Chief of the French
armies, was.born 1811. liavim,a finished his
studies in the Ecole Polytechnigne, he elitert2ti
the army in l4:31, and in . the following-year
saw service in Africa. Four years later he was
prt rooted to the grade of Lieutenant, and re
ceived the Cross of - Donor on the field of - battle.
In 1437 be was concerned in the campaigns in
SpahLag.ainst the Carlists, and returned to Al
gel is with the rank of Captain in 1339. He took
part in the expeditions of Miliariah, Kabylia,
and Morocco - during some years. He was
chosen in 153, at the outbreak of the war in
the East, to command a brigade of infantry,
and during the siege of Sebastopol was honor
ably mentionedpn the despatches of Marshals
U:iniobert and Pelissier. He subsequently was
made a general of division, and commanded
the French portion of the expedition which re
d&ed Einburn. lu 1456 he was app.Auted in
spector of several divisions of infantry. In
he accepted a command in the French
.ex
pedition to Mexico, where he greatly distin
guished himself, succeeding Marshal Furey in
the supreme command in 1933.
Genera] Changarnier, who has been an ap
plicant tot a command since the outbreak of
the present struggle, was born at Autun
(Saone-et-Lohe), the 2nth of April, 1793. The
narrative of this ()nicer's military career is that
of the operations of the French army in
Algiers, as he has won every• successive promo
tion on the battle-field. His political considera
tion dates from 1t548, when he was made
Governor-General of Algiers by the provisional
goveildlitnt, and immediately afterw - ards
elected a member of the Constituent Assembly
b,lthe Department of the Loire.
Ile held his Governorship but for a brief pe
riod, recognizing in the disquieted capital the
true field for a man of ability and energy. He
was at Paris during the terrible scenes of June,
It-AS, and took part in the suppression of the
insurrection which led to Cavaignac's dictator
:lip. On the election of Louis Napoleon as
President, Changarnier was appointed com
mander of the First Military Division, and,
owing to the Ministerial apprehensions of in
surrection; the command of the entre armed
force of Paris, civil as well as military, was
concentrated in his hands. With these ample
I.ol%etsle crushed most completely the at
iempt ed insurrection of June, 1549, and by the
excellence of his arrangements accomplished
t-his object, almhst w ithout bloodshed.
On the disappearance of imminem danger
his large pow ers and the morninetce of his
personal inflnence excited the Jealousies of the
President and his Ministry, till at 141 Louis
N apoleon removed the Generat by abolishing
his command, and Changarnier becime once.

from the tribune, and was several times put for
ward by the Conservative Paris press as a de
sirable candidate for the Presidential election
1:7.52. M. Changarnier is a man whose
favorite idea is said to be that lie could win
immortality by invading England and destroy
ing Lannon. Under the secomi Presidency

BEIM rN 11111111 l 10, 11 A. M..—Official de
spatches from army headquarters state that the
result of the battle at Saarbruck on Saturday,
was more important than was first supposed.
Frossard's Corps was dispersed, the entire camp
of one division, and many magazines were
captured. Prisoners by thousands were taken, •
and the number is hourly increasing. The
French losses must have been immense.
Their forces have disappeared from all points
in our front, and none are to be seen by our
patrols, who are within gunshot of Metz.
LoNows, August 10.—The Prince Imperial
of France has arrived in London, and is now

Smith also brought with him the Empress Eu
genie's jewels and valuables, and the famous
diamonds of the Duke of Brunswick.
Paris telegrams of Tuesday afternoon and
night now coming in do not change the aspect
of affairs.
The special correspondent-of the New York
Tribune writes from Paris late Tuesday evening,
that " the sitting of the Corps Letfislatif was
of that violent character which I anticipated
last night. It is extremely difficult to get any
connected report. When President Schneider
look his seat in the Chamber, -31. 011ivier
mounted the tribune and endeavored to read a
speech identical with that delivered in the
;Senate by Minister Esquiros, but he was so
much interrupted that very little was heard.
"Members of the Left cried out continually
that the safety of the country required the dis
missal of the Ministry."

class of 1859 to; 15134 inclusive, was extended
to embrace all men from the=ages of 2, to 35
'who are not married, and not already members
of the Garde Mobile.
Projects for armament were presented by
the government and adopted, with the addition
of a proposition offered by Deputy Keratry, as
previously amended, and with a further special
article voting the thanks of the Corps Legislatif
to the army, which merits much from the
=Hon. The credit of four millions of francs
for the families of the Mobile Garde was in
creased to twenty-five millions.
M. Cremieux submitted a proposition that
commercial contracts falling due between the
present date and the 30th of August be pro
longed for one month.
The project was voted as urgent.
The project of a law for national defence was
udopted unanimously by 273 votes amid pro-
Imaged applause.
A recess was taken for a quarter of au hour.
resumina. the Chamber desired to pass im
mediately to discussion of the project of law

M. Buffet requested a delay of two hoUrs,
as the report on the subject was not quite

Official despatches from Metz, timed at 8.30
this morning, say : "This morning the Empe
ror has gone to visit the cantonments of the
army. The ardor and enthusiasm of the soldiers
hourly increases, and the signal for battle is
eagerly awaited. General Changaruier has been
placeff on the general stall; and his presence has
an excellent effect."
Lox Dow, Aug. 10.—The House of Lords was
thinly attended to-day. During , the session
Lord Cairns inquired as to the progress in tde
in the negotiations for the preservation of the
neutrality of Belgium. He said the strr.cnient
that-the government adhered to the treaty of
1839 was satisfactory. The neutrality of Bel
gium was of serious consequence, and he ap
-pioved the determination of-the-government to
maintain it.
Earl Granville said be was gratified by the
friendly tone of the various members, including
the noble Lord who preceded him, and; in re
ply, said the government had. secured the
object alluded to, and also the warmest .aP
proval and support of AuStria. and Russia. It
was impossible to.,donbt.the personal honor of
the Emperor Napoleon , . or King William, or
that nations so forget their' obligations" as to
make war on the public opinion of the world.
lie thought the treaty would not• require the
action of Parliament, the aim desired haying
been otherwise achieved.
The treaty " •as then - read and loudly
cheered.
Stratford De Bedell% and Shaftesbury spoke
in terMS : of approyal Of :tirte,.:action. of the
government, as did IledeSdale and CleYeland..
At two., o'clock the Iloyal Commission, the
Lord Chancellor, Earl Kimberly, Viscount
Halifax, Viscount Sydney, and Marquis of
Normandy brought in the Queen's speech.
The Commons were summoned, and soon .
appeared, with Mr. Gladstone and others at
their head. The speech was then read by the
Lord Chancellor, as follows
lfy Lprd. Gignemen : The state of
public business enables the to release your at
tendance upon Parliament. I continue to
receive from all foreign powers assurances of
their good-wiii and friendship; but 1 have wit
nessed with great pain and grief, on both do
mestic and foreign grounds, the recent out-.
break of war between two powerful nations
allied to this country. My best eXertions, have
been used to avert this_great calamity.
I shall now direct constant and anxious
attention tp a strict observance of- the duties
and rights of neutrality. I have cheerfully
assented to the measure, Matured by your wis
dom, to enlarge the powers of the Executive,
not only for • the discharge of international
Auties,..but for_the - prevention of acts injurious
to the - interests of this country. I shall make
every fitting endeavor to - check the - operation
of causes leading to the enlargement of-the
area of the conflict, and shall contribute if
opportunity offer to the restoration of an early
and honorable peace.
1 have tendered - to MI belligereot powers
treaties identicyl in form, which will give ad
ditional security to Belgium against the hazards
of war on her frontier. The - treaty has been
signed by Count Bernstoft for the North Ger
man Confederation, and the French envoy has
signified that he has authority to sign a corre
sponding instrument on receipt of full poWer
therefor. Other powers, parties to the treaty of
1 have beeminvited, and they are likely to
accede to the engagement.
The shocking murders in Greece have pro
duced painful impressions in Europe, and have
drawn attention to serious evils existing in that
country. 3ly unremitting efforts Will be di
rectAl to secure a complete and searching in
quiry into the facts.
Gmiti,..liettof the House of Coothions: I thank
you for the liberal provisions made by you for
the ordinary services of the year, and for ad
ditional supplies of men and money voted in
view of the altered circumstances of the Con
tinent. The revenue gives promise to meet
the new changes thus created withont revising
the proper balance of revenue and expenditure.
The act for the repression of agrarian crime
and to maintain order in Ireland has answered
iN purpose thus far. From the act regulating
the occupation of land I anticipate the resto
ration of peaceful relations between landlord
and tenant, and of confidence and benevolence.
Legislation duly protecting life and property I
hope is now more easy, and 1 rely on the loy
ally and affection of my Irish subjects.
I have been pleased to concur in the bill for
national education in England as a new guar
antee for the moral and social well-being of - the
nation, its prosperity and power. The natu
ralization act, and that for the extradition of
criminals, tend to strengthen our friendly rela
tions with other powers. `The act regulating
enlistments for short terms I hope will increase
the efficiency of the forces, promote the wel
fare of the soldiels, provide for the nation
a service well trained in arms and ready in
emergency to return to their standards.
1111 you farewell for the recess, with an
earnest prayer that when again summoned I
may rejoice with you in the eStablishhient of
peace in r Europe." • , .
The outside attendance was small. The
prorOgation is to October 27. At the conclu
sion of the formalities the proceedings termi
nated.
