BUFFALO. June 3, l p. MI have lust re-
turned from the United States steamer
Michigan, which is anchored in Niagara
river about four miles below here. A large
ilatbOat Is fastened to her under her guns,
having on board about four hundred
men, as near as could be guessed at.
but not as many as 700. as first stated. The
officers are on board the Michigan under
guard. Commander Bryan, of the Michi-
gan, is anxiOnsly awaiting instructions as
to what he shall do with the prisoners. U.
5. District Attorney Dart is also await
ing instructions from Washington as to
their disposition. 1t is considered unsafe
to bring them here. An effort might be
made by their friends to release them.
There is considerable excitement in this
city, but it is the general feeling that the
Government have done their duty and the
people are glad that the Fenians have fallen
into American hands, rather than been cap
tured by the British.
IsumOrs Of all Sorts.
force, stated at from $50 to l.5OO men,
tried to leave here last night in tugs and
flatboats, probably to reinforce the Fenians,
but owing TO the excellent arrangements
which had been made by L. s.. Attorney
DARTS and General Barry in organizing
picket boats, they were obliged to turn
back.
1t is reported, but not confirmed that a
force of Fenians have landed at point ten
miles above here in Lake Erie, and some
fears are expressed that Tollingwood is
point threatened.
1t is stated that P. o. Day, the Head
Center of Buffalo, who is known as the
.yNfL
been arrested on the other side. This is not
confirmed yet, but we know that the Unit
ed States Attorney had such intention.
A Grand Trunk railway official informs
us that One-armed officer was arrested on
the Government roads in Canada, and is
supposed to be General Sweeny; but of
course it is not.
A portion of two British regiments, the
10th and 47th, with seven companies of vol
unteers and two batteries, now occupy the
Erie shore opposite here, to repel any
fresh invasion, but there will not be
any from this place. By order of
Gen. Grant Gen. Barry has had his mill
tary district extended, and it now embraces
the northern frontier from Lake Erie to
Oswego, n. Y. A large additional force of
Regulars has been ordered to report to
him here. a portion have already ar
rived.
Previous to Gen. Barry's advent as COM
mander on this frontier, no concert of ac-
tion had been agreed upon, though Z. s.
District Attorney Dart did all in his power
but, by the complete system of arming tugs
and picketing the river the Fenians have
been frustrated from reinforcing their
friends and making any further advances
upon Canada from this point.
A Fenian General Lynch of Chicago ar
rived in this city at 10 o'clock last uight
from the West, and took command of men
here to reinforce their friends on the Cana
da side. These are the men that were turn
ed back.
