Mr.. Seward had long interview with the President
to-day which gave to the report that the British
government had made some formal demand on ours in
relation TO tho Fenian movement The rumor is plau-
sble, not The British government has been on

cal detectives this country time since to furnish
all the information he could collect concerning the
strength, organization, efficiency and financial ability OF
the Fenans in America and the disposition manifested
towards the movement by government and people.
This agent has really learned enough to alarm the Johnny
Balls, and has probably communicated much more on
Conformation and belief" He has mado overtures TO
OF prominent detectives and endeavored TO OBJ
tain his assistance by bribery. All these facts warrant
the belief that the British authorities are seriously
alarmed, and that they have asked Mr. Seward to ode
