FENIAN SINEWS 0E WAR

The New York World Of Saturday saws that
owing TO the disclosures made an that paper OF
the Gay before, giving plan Of the Campaign
against Canada, the adherpnts OF the SuasnsS
Roberts wing have become suddenly reticent
as regards the movement now on foot for ven :
geance on the British Lion and Canadian Rlns
Noses. Sweeney stock is now above par 10 cor :
sequence Of the rumors Of the proposed in va
sion OF the ghboring provinces, and thers
has been sudden fall in O'Mahony societies,
owing 10 the distance Of that gentleman's base
OF operations from his objective point which IA
understood 70 be Ireland. The World adds:
1.-The most astounding intelligence is yet TO
De told OF the movement. As lt was known 70
The different Fenian circles supporting Rob-
erts and Sweeny throughout the country that
movement was TO be made between the 25th
OF march and the 18th OF April against the Ca
madam provinces, n was deemed ad yisable 10
call secret meetings of the circles for the pur.
pose OF ascertaining from the members how
the movement, and also 10 find out the humber
OF men ready to take the field when called
upon, provided that the call was not DELAYED
beyond the first OF May, 1S66 The meetings
were held under strictest and most fearful
pledges of secresy, and the result was most
cheering and gratifying to Gen Sweeny and
ms coadJutors in the grand work. All the
contributions which we give, and the men
profered, are ready for use and acceptance by
the 25th OF this month, and il rs understood
that Gen. sweeny has significd his acceptance
OF the contributions and men. With these, a
blow VIII be struck at once, without waiting

talions of artillery, and 5000 stand of arms,
and naval brigade of 900 men for service on
the Lakes. st. Louis gives twenty five hum
dred volunteers and battery of artillery, with

army regulation pattern. Boston will furnish
twelve hundred men for sixty days service,

pletely equipped, and each girl Of Irish de-

armiBg the battalion. Indianapolis is TO give
two hundred and fifty men the means TO reach
selves from the attacks of the British soldiers
on the frontiers. Cleveland is not behind, and
