The Way il Looks to "a Canadian.
The Globe this morning has the follow
ing: "There is no longer any doubt that
O'Mahony is concentrating a force near the
New Brunswick frontier. This is clearly in
violation of the neutrality laws of the L.
s., and the Washington authorities must
speedily take action upon the subject. We
are not anxious that the American govern
ment should act hurriedly; in a free gov
ernment time must be allowed for talk, and
it is not well for any government to oppose
movement which commands a, measure of
popular sympathy without clear proof that
law is being broken, but marching armed
men towards a frontier is an act of war,
which the American government must sup
press if they intend to do their duty to-
wards their neighbors.'

Washington special says Sir Frederick
Bunce processes to have received informa-
ton that leaves no doubt of the intention of
the Fenians to attack some point in the Brit
ish provinces It appears certain that large
numbers of men are gathering on the frontier
and it is alleged their object is to concen-
trate and capture some place, which will be
hastily entrenched and defended. In that
case, it is expected that reinforcements
and aid from the United States and British
provinces will flow in to enable them to ac-
complish their ulterior objects.
The situation is deemed sufficiently alarm
ing to call forth a proclamation from the
President against any invasion of the neu-
trality laws, and it viii shortly appear.
Serious remonstrances have been received
from the Canadian authorities. Itis under
stood that the U. S. marshals on the bor-
der towns have received orders to prevent
any invasion.
