(REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.)
ARRIVAL OF THE PERSIA.
NEW YORK, June 13 (Morning.)

The Fenians under Spear recrossed the border
an Saturday morning, excepting 150 men, who re-
mained in the vicinity of Pigeon Hill, plundering.
Of these sixteen were captured by the Canadians
and one killed. _ _ _

Spear surrendered with his staff to Colonel
Livingston, of the Federal army.
Reports are circulated by Fenian sympathisers
that the British troops pursued Spear's men over
the frontier, killing one, and capturing several on
American soil. This has been disproved by the
investigations made by General Meade.
The Fenians are leaving the border and going to
their homes in great numbers. Only 800 remained
at Malone yesterday.
The Federal authorities have made several addi-
tional seizures of Fenian arms.
General Meade has issued an order offering
homeward transportation to all Fenians willing to
promise to abandon their enterprise and respect the
laws. The officers, however, were required to fur-
nish bonds. By orders of Sweeney, the Fenians at
St. Albans have refused to sign the obligation to
abandon the Fenian cause ; but agreed to promise
to relinquish the present movement.
Spear, Sweeney, and 0 Wahony have been released
at St. Albans, ou giving bail of $5,000 each.
Roberts also has been released on parole until
Friday, when his trial for breach of the neutrality
laws will be continued.

It had been ordered by the Washington autho-
rities to hold him in custody until he furnished
bolds to keep the peace. _

It is reported that the Attorney-General Speed
has decided that the Fenians must be indicted for
breach of the neutrality laws.
Fenianism was emphatically denounced from all
the Catholic pulpits in Canada on Sunday last.

Warrants have been issued for the arrest of all
the prominent Fenians throughout Canada, and
the Fenian prisoners are to be tried by military
court at Montreal.

NFIV YORK, June 13 (Morning).

In the House of Representatives, a resolution has
been referred to the committee on Foreign Affairs
expressing sympathy with the Fenians, and instruct-
ing the Committee to report the bill repealing the
Neutrality Act of 1818 ; also a resolution declaring
that the President should reconsider his policy
towards the Fenians, and adopt as nearly as possible
the exact course pursued by Great Britain during
the late rebellion, recognising the contending par-
ties as belligerents, and observing between them
strict neutrality.
The House has passed a resolution calling upon
the President to furnish information relative to the
despatch of Austrian troops to Mexico. Also another
resolution declaring that Mr. Davis must be held in
custody and tried by the laws of the land.
Judge Underwood refuses to admit Mr. Davis on
bail on the ground that he is a prisoner of war.
His counsel has referred the matter to the President,
who is expected to give his decision to-morrow.
The Hibernian, Allemannia, Edinburgh, Etna, and
