IN alarm was occasioned this morning by
the sentinels at the Fort seeing two schoon-
ers below acting as if they intended to land.
The garrison was beat to quarters the ferry
village people were alarmed, and notice was
sent across to the city. The vessels however
proved TO be fishermen.
Ii is evident that the report Of the doin-s
of vessels in the hay of Fundy arose from the
capture Of the Archer by the Tacony. and the
burning of the bark Perhaps the rebels in
their character of fishermen spread the report
to tie fishing fleet themselves, to draw of
attention from the raid in Portland.

priyatccrs un our coast. We have every
