Montreal special says:
The government has just received letter from
an official in Windsor u w stating that the may
or OF Detroit had informed him that he had caus-
ed an inquiry to be made into tie extent of the
Fenian movements in that city and discovered
there was hkelyhood of an attack from that
point.
The government has also been notified that
the American government are sending troops TO |
Buff lo to prevent any attack from that quar- |
ter.
The Six Nation Indians Qroquois) colonized |
on the Ottawa river, under descendant of
| the celebrated Brant last evening rendered SER
Woe OF $40 OF their braves to The government.
| An official OF the royal engineers stated that
| orders were sent to England five weeks since
for 10000 soldiers to te landed at Halifax, who
1 will march from thence to New Brunswick where
| the vulnerable point is feared to be-. These
| troops expected in ten days and on their ar
| rival, New Brunswick, it is considered, will be
| safe. The ships OF Al Iadra and Py ladies', are
| even now in the Bay of Funday.
! SIR friedrich Bruce has ordered the West In
| dian squadron from Halifax with all the dispos-
able troops in the West Indies.
The excitement here has very much abated.
The Aontrealens generally believe that the Rob
erts and Sweeney faction, must give their sup
portefs something tor their money but hat the
attack will be on the upper Provinces and In
New Brunswick but not here or at Quebec, they
deem IL utter madness to attempt the capture OF
either Of these cities, they are however actively
| arriving so that they may guard thoroughly IN
| the event of the troops and volunteers being
needed elsewhere.
