The Feutan Invasion of Canada.

In another column of this morning
edition we print large amount Of mat
ter culled from Buffalo, Canada and New
York journals, In regard to the Fenian
demonstration or the Niagara frontier,
which, in addition to the numerous, though
confusing, teIegraphic accounts, will
give our readers the fullest attainah!e in
formation in regard TO it. Its entire his
tory may, however, be made much moro
simple and Ineligible by a brief and
clear summary of the reliable information
in regard to the invasion, which We pro-
pose to give below.
About half after two Friday morning,
the Fenisns who had been concentrating
st Buffalo for week, crossed the Niagara
river at Black Rock, two miles north of
the city, and occupied Fort Erie, which
lies directly opposite on the Canada shore.
The number crossed numbered about
twelve hundred, under the command of
Col O'Neil, formerly of the L. S. service.
Others attempted to follow, but were pre-
vented by the United States steamer
Michigan. Fort Erie, which was thus
occupied, is not fort at all, but a small
town of about two hundred inhabitants,
undefended by a single armed man. 1t
was occupied with no resistance what
ever, and in q very orderly manner.
During the day the Fenians, having con-
centrated their forces, moved northward
toward Chippewa, which is on the Niagara
river, fourteen miles north of Fort Erie,
and Ave miles south of Suspension Bridge.
They proceeded only six miles, however,
TO Frenchman's Creek, the bridges over
which they burned, probably to prevent
the advance of Canadian troops from Chip
pswa. Thence they seem to have moved
in westerly direction for few miles, and
to have gone into camp for the night.
Meantime the British authorities were
not idle. Volunteers were called for and
rushed TO arms with spontaneous enthusi-
asm. Troops, both volunteers and regu-
lars, were forwarded at once. At Chippe-
va 500 were concentrated, and at Port
Colborne, at the mouth of the Welland ca.
nal, seventeen miles west from Port Erie
on the Grand Trunk Railroad, a number
ofvolunteers from Southwestern Canada
eight hundred strong, were hastily gath
cred. On Saturday morning the latter body
proceeded by rail to Ridgewsy, eigh'

the entire shore opposite here to repel any
fresh invasion, but there won't be any from
this place. By order of Gen. Grant, Gen.
Barny has had his military District extern
ded, and it now embraces the northern
| frontier from Lake Erie to Oswego.
A large additional force of regulars have
been ordered to report to him here. A por-
tion have already arrived.
Previous to Gen. Barry's advent as Com
| mander on this frontier no concert of action
hid been agreed to, though U. s. District
Attorney Dart did all in his power But by
a complete system Of arming tugs and pick
citing the river the Fenians have been frus-
trated from reinforcing their friends and
making any further advance upon Canada
from this point. A Fenian, Gen. Lynch, Of
Chicago, arrived in this city at 10 o'clock
last night from the West and took command
of the men hereto reinforce their friends on
the Canada side. These are the ones that
were turned back.

Attempted Retreat TO the Unifad

Prisoners.
BUFFALo, June 3, A. M.-The Feniau
force vacated Fort Erie last night, and most
Of them attempted to reach this shore, but
only a small number succeeded, and about
seven hundred were gobbled by the U. S..
boats guarding the river, aui are now pris-
oners under the steamer Michigan's guns
at Black Rock.
An English force, under Col. Peacock, are
new in possession Of Fort Erie-xithout
skirmish.
The ultimate disposition OF the prisoners
is a matter of uncertainty, but the British
minister has been telcgraphed. Colonel
O'Neil and staff are captured. The only
Fenians captured by the English appears to
have been thirty-two pickets who were left
by their friends in the hurry.
Byorder Of General Barry, all communi-
cation is forbidden with the Canadian
shore.
It's reported that small Fenian force
left this neighborhood last night. Their
destination is unknown.
Those who tried to reinforce their friends
at Fort Erie were prevented from doing so
by the United States,lpicket boats. We
have conversed. with some of the escaped
Fenians, and they say that having no artil-
lery land they positively assert that they
have had none and. finding the English
troops, with Armstrong guns, closing around
them, and there being no prospect of rein
foreements and supplies, they concluded not
10 be gobbled up and perhaps hung
as anticipated those caught will be, so they
got off the best they could. The men were
completely worn out, having fought two
battles, though the Fort Erie affair they only
call a skirmish, eat little or nothing, and no
sleep. 1t is pretty generally believed that
the English at Ridgeway were defeated and
driven away.
