BUFFALO, Nov. 1.-THE following was
received to-day; 80 i
WAsHmGToE, Nov Midnight.
10 he Mayor Of Buffalo.

Canada, there is reason to believe that
plot ia on foot, by persona who have found
an asylum in Canada, 10 invade the
United States and destroy the city of

this information 70 you in order that any
precautions which the circumstances Of

Governor suggests that any
steamboats, or other vessels giving cause

ter of persons on them, shall be arrested.

\ Washington correspondent says: A
private note from the froat states that it
was believed that the rebels were in con-
siderable force south Of Culpepper and
this side Of the Rapid Ann. Ii now looks
as if Lee was mApuVeTing for soma posi-
ton for battle, which the writer did
not regard at all improbable, unless the
enemy suddenly passed the Rapid Ann
with all bis force, thus giving coniiIma-
ton of previous belief of his weakness.
1t will be recollected that, in Lees off
ciAl report OF his former advance, he Sc
lected the ground he now holds to attack
Mesde. He has now an opportunity to
make good his word, Our army cans
advance very rapidly, owing TO the want
of railroad bridge across the Kappa
hammock. Yet few more days will
snIiice to see if change in the situation
develops q battle. Meade is active in
the disposition of his troops. g0OA
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 12.-Nothing of spe-
cial interest was done in the Legislature
yesterday. The .GoVsrnor's Message re-
lates almost entirely to State matters.
He recommends an appointment to be
recognized by the State, to induce emf
grafton from fOreign countries, aud ais
cusses the question of the relation OF the
State 70 the Federal Government. ~ ~
lie says there is no military orgAni-
cation within our borders hostile to the
Government Of the United States, and
that there is every indication that the
former feeling Of hostility has settled
down into quiet aequiescence in the su-
premacy of that Government and Of an
unWillingness to have the peace Of the
State further disturbed by rebel organi-
cations.
The Democrats footings of the cleo
ton returns, as far IS heard from, give a
radical majority OF 294, including tho
soldiers vote. The Republicans foot
ings, also including the soldiers vote,
give n conservative majority of three.
FoRTREss MONROE, Nov. 12.--The Rich
mond Wing Of the 1lth contains the
following:

WAsHINaToN, Nov. lathe facts
contained in the dispatches sent from
Washington this morning in regard to
the rebel prisoners on Johnson's Island,
were obtained from official sources, but
since then additional information, au-
thentic in its character, has been obtain
ed, by which it appears that the Cover
nor General of Canada has given notice
through Lord Lyons to the Secretary OF
State Of rebel plots Matched in the Bril-
fish provinces TO deliver the prisoners on
Johnson's Island in Lake Erie, and burn
Buffalo and Ogsdenburg. Adequate meas
sures to defeat the nefarious enterprise
have been promptly adopted.
II is not apprebended that anything
serious will grow out of the affair, as the
Government was not unprepared from
the disclosures made.
There is no prospect of an early gem
eral exchange Of prisoners, although our
Government is endeAyoring toelFect sueh
an arrangement In a few days, how
ever, an exchange of surgeons will take
place. Tbs rebels are holding at Rich
mond SIS belonging TO our armies.
