They then moved down the Niagara River towards
Chippewa, halting at this place, where rumours prevailed
during the forenoon of the advance of Canadian troops.
Breastworks have been hastily constructed, and at this
hour reports of the Canadian advance are regarded as so
important that drums are beating to arms and troops as-
sembling in line of battle. Shots are heard in the distance.
A man just come in wounded in the leg.
a Skirmishers are pushing to the front. Flankirg columns
isre moving out at the double-quick, and every preparation
being made for an engagement expected upon a doubtful
tumour.

The American shore is lined with spectators. Crowded
tugs and small boats are flying up and down the river.
There is tremendous excitement all along the frontier, but
no measures have been taken to prevent communication
between the two sides.
Fenians and strangers are crossing and re-crossing the
Niagara in skiffs. Canadian families are fleeing as from
the wrath to come.
The United States steamer Michigan lies at Black Rock,
opposite and in full view of the Fenian lines. Her guns,
firing a salute for General Scott this forenoon, frightened
the Canadians for a time out of their wits.
The Fenians are thoroughly armed, but ununiformed and
lacking supplies.
There are rumours of another crossing of Niagara with
artillery to-night.
Fenian movements will probably be decided to-night.
There are rumours that the Fenians are now crossing
the St. Lawrence.
Two telegrams received this morning, one dated ten
o'clock, Windsor, the other at Detroit, state there are no
Fenian movements at these points, and the stories current
all day of a crossing effected under fire are without foun-
dation.

The position the invading army occupies at present is as
follows:—Colonel O'Neill, who is in command, is stationed
at Negliggen's farm, near Fort Erie. With him are the
Thirteenth Regiment of Tennessee, Colonel O'Neill ;
Seventeenth Regiment of Kentucky, Colonel Starr;
Eighteenth Regiment of Ohio, Colonel J. Sewel ; Seventh
Regiment of Buffalo, Colonel Hay ; and a detachment
from Indiana.
Fort Erie is a village of 200 inhabitants, opposite Black
Rock, and is entirely nnfortifled.
It is said that the Irish along the Canadian border are
flocking in large numbers around the green flag, but from
this side the task of going over is a difficult one. The
Americans compel all boats to come to.
All reports of attack on Chippewa or other islands aro
without foundation. About five p.m. a detachment of 300
men, under Colonel Hay, moved down the river towards
Chippewa, below which place a bridge is said to have been
burned this day. The object of this movement is unknown
unless it be for the purpose of intercepting British troops,
1,500 of whom are said to have just arrived at the Suspen-
sion-bridge.

An attack by morning is certain, and the result is
anxiously looked for. At the highest computation there are
not more than 1,300 Fenians, and no artillery is visible, if
they possess it.

All through the day scouting parties have been arr.iving
at the camp with provisions and horses. Colonel O'Neill
returned a horse to Mrs. Douglass on being told she was a
widow woman, as well as sixteen to the Niagara-street
Railroad Company.

From later accounts the Fenian army is said to be pre-
paring-to move into the interior.
General Sweeney is not here. It would seem that the
present movement was an independent one.
Chicago, Friday, June 1.
Sweeney's advance is received with joy. Ten thousand
people were congregated in council in a few hours of ter re-
ceiving notice, and pledged themselves to support the
Irish army. General Lynch and staff passed through this
morning.

Suspension-bridge, Mount Eagle House,
Friday, June 1.
There is a report hero, well authenticated, that 1,500
Fenians crossed at Buffalo last night to threaten Fort Erie,
and in default of a supply of rations to burn the place.
The fort surrendered.
Six or seven miles of the Grand Trunk Railroad was
destroyed.

The Fenians are supposed to be moving towards St.
Catharine's.

Great alarm exists in Canada.
Montreal, Friday, June 1, 8.30 p.m.
I have received a telegram from Ottowa, stating that
Government has been informed that 6,000 Fenians are
marching from Fort Erie to Fort Colborn, for filo
of destrovim, unana uanal. They will
be encountered to-morrow by troops and a battery of Arm-
strong guns, 'under Col. Peacock.

The eastern frontier is strengthened to-day, although the
movements there are regarded as feints. Plundering and
burning are marking the tracks of the invaders. The Reeve
of Fort Erie is reported to have been shot by Fenians while
reading the Riot Act. The Government officials say they
aro kept well informed of all the Fenian movements. The
troops from this city left this evening, apparently with much
enthusiasm, and threatening to give no quarter.
Albany, Friday, June 1.
There are many rumours afloat hero respecting the Fenian
movement on the frontier, but nothing has yet been heard
at the Executive Department or by the Adjutant-General.
Montreal, Friday, June 1.
Reports have just reached us that a large body of Fenians
have seized the arms at Rouse's Point, and are now march-
ing
on the British fort at Isle aux Noix. About 300 men
reached St. Albans this morning. Two large bodies of
troops are now leaving—one to reinforce the garrison at
Isle aux Noix, and the other that of St. John's. The
Fenians have burnt a bridge at Fort Erie, and cut four of
the telegraph wires there. Many exciting rumours are
flying about Toga.
The Government has just received information that the
United States gunboat Michigan has intercepted reinforce-
ments to the Fenians, and landed at Fort Erie this morning.
Those who have landed are marching pell-mell towards
Chippewa, about four miles from Niagara. Troops from
Hamilton are marching to capture them. Four hundred
more Fenians have arrived at St. Albans since this morn-
ing. A battery of Armstrong guns and two wings of the
25th and 30th Regiments, in addition to those mentioned
in my telegram of one p.m., will leave in an hour to meet
them.

THE LIFEBOATS ON THE IRISH COAST.—The
National Lifeboat Institution has just sent a fine sew 32
feet ten-oared lifeboat to Skerrios, near Dublin, in lieu of
the boat previously on that station. Last week the insti-
tution also forwarded a new boat to Wexford. The cost
of that lifeboat was collected among gentlemen connected
with the Civil Service of the Crown, through the exertions
of Mr. James A. Dow and Mr. Malcolm Goldsmith, of the
Admiralty. The institution has now 28 lifeboats on the
Irish coast, on which it has expended about £14,000.

Buffalo, F June 1.
I Colonel O'Neill commands the troops thatriday mad, the land-
-1 ing from here. He is styled "Commander of the Army of
the II ish Republic in Canada."
llt is reported that General Sweeney crossed over into
I Canada with
.the Main body of the Fenian force, but this
is denied by those who should know.
It is said that men are constantly crossing from this side,
and without difficulty. There is no United States force
here to prevent them doing so, and the United States
steamer Michigan has had no orders or authority to stop
parties from crossing.
It now appears that a concentration is to be made not
far from hero in Canada, and after receiving expected rein-
forcements, the Fenians will move en some important
city. This, however, may not tako place for two or three
ttys.

Ogdensburgb, Friday, June 1.
The detachment of supposed Fenians which left New
York last evening arrived at Potsdam in due time by train.
They were under excellent subordination on the way, and
at PotMam quietly broke up into small squads, and aftera
brief time retired to dream of battle-fields on the morrow.
A large force that had
been previously arrived were hardly to
be noticed, so closely are they to quarters.kept
There has no Fenian eruption here. The Canadian

There are no other rumours of war or tidings of invasion

of the water as yet.
