official in Windsor, G. W, stating that
the Mayor of Detroit had informed him
that he had caused an inquiry to be made
into the extent of the Fenian movement.
in that city, and discovered that there was
a likelihood OF an attack from that point.
The Government have also been notified
that the American Government are send
ing troops to Buffalo to prevent any at
tack from that quarter.
The Six Nations Indians (Iroquois(,
colonized on the Ottawa River, under a
descendant of the celebrated Brant, last
evening rendered the services of 1900 OF
their braves to the Government.
An officer of the Royal Engineers stated
that orders were sent TO England five
weeks since for 10, 900 soldiers to be land
| ed at Halifax, to march from there to New
Brunswick, where the vulnerable point is
feared to be. These troops are expected
in ten days, and on their arrival it is con-
| sidered that New Brunswick will be safe.
The ships-of-war Ariadne and Pleiades
are even now in the Bay of Fundy.
Sir Frederick Bruce has ordered the
West India Squadron to sail Immediately
for Halifax with all the ~dlsposable troops
in the West Indies.
The excitement here has very much
abated. The Montrealers generally be-
lieve that the Roberts and Sweeny faction
must give their supporters something for
their money but that the attack will be
in the upper province and in New Bruins
wick, not here or Quebec. 1t is madness
to attempt the capture of either of these
cities. They are, however, actively arm
ing, so that they may guard the city in
the event of the troops and volunteers
being needed there.
NEW YORK, March 1.-THE Hiberians

publican demonstration covers a move
ment of little consequence politically.

been landed at San Antonis and sold to a
prominent planter at the rate of S225
each.
