DETROIT, June 3.-The rumors of Fenian
movement on the Western border are believed
to be groundless. The Canadian volunteers in
strong force, are at all available crossings, and
the utmost vigilance is observed. Armed steamers
patrol the rivers during the night.
Much regret is expressed here at the reported
death of Booker, OF the Canadian volunteers.
He had many friends here.
The report that the Canadian Government
had taken control of the rolling stock OF the
railroads is untrue. Communications on the
Great Western Railroad, between Detroit and
the Suspension Bridge, are uninterrupted, and
the trains are running with their usual regu-

night of the attack upon Fort Erie says there
were ten thousand Fenians in Buffalo, only two

tonight contains the followine:-
The Government is preparing to put several
steamers on the lakes, armed and manned by
sailors from war ships at Montreal. Many Cana
dams in Chicago have telegraphed their deter
ninatlon to come over and assist in the defense
OF the country. The British forces are concen-
trating at Prescott, St. John, and Cornwall,
where an attack is expected hourly.
The steamer NOrd Scotia is expected tonight
from Quebec with SIX hundred British troops.
Reports deemed reliable, from other sources,
say that two thousand Fenians are at st. Armand,
opposite st. Johns threatening Montreal; also
that force OF about two or three thousand are
at 81. Regis, six miles from Cornwall
From what little news can be obtained ii Is
evident that Fort Erie is only blind, and that
Sweeney contemplates an invasion on the line
OF the st. Lawrence and Detroit rivers or Lake
Huron, in heavy force, and the Government
feels sanguine Of its ability to meet and roll
back every attack.
The action of the American authorities in
seizing the Fenians at Buffalo, is accepted as an
earnest of our Governments desire to keep
good faith with other nations on the neutrality
question.
To-day being Sunday, very little news comes
over the wires, but the streets all day have been
full OF people, and particularly about the Leader
office, eagerly deyouring the contents of every
extra.
Several bodies of dead and wounded from the
battlc-6eds arrived here tonight on the
steamer. An INN ense concourse OF people was
present to do honor to the Canadian martyrs.

their ability. Others bivouaCked in the woods,
the weather being fair. No act of violence of
any kind has been committed. They are subject
to many privahons; but have yet to hear the
first word of complaint from them.
The town last night was remarkably quiet,
almost ominously so considering the inhammable
material in the vicinity. The ordinary town
watch force was all that was required to keep
the peace which in no instance was disturbed.
Several teams full OF men and boxes passed up
from St. Adams bay towards the Fenan rendez-
