THE FENIAN RAID ON CANADA.

In reply to Mr. Dent,

Mr. MONSELL said the only additional information he
had received with respect to the Fenians in Canada was
to the effect that her Majesty's 69th Regiment were to be
at Huntingdon at five o'clock on yesterday morning, that
the telegraph line had been cut, that 450 Fenians had
crossed the frontier and recrossed on finding volunteer
cavalry in the neighbourhood ; and that about 100 de-
serted, pay and rations not being forthcoming.

THE FENIANS IN CANADA.

TORONTO, May 277

The Toronto Globe has received a telegram from its
special correspondent, stating that the 69th Regulars and
Militia Volunteers found 400 Fenians on the north side of
the Front River, near Huntingdon. They had thrown up
breastworks, but dispersed hastily at the first attack of the
troops, the officers in vain trying to stop them. The
Canadians followed them to the border, and it is thought
the American soldiers from Malone will capture them.
In their flight they threw away a number of arms and
accoutrements.
