suspected premises The only COntrabands OF war
found We're four reYOlVers m Shea's house, and a
rusty musket, ana two bayOnets in Murphy's. Shea
is the only ARES made IN the city. His arrest was
caused by an intercepted telegram caudoning him
10 look out for himself and destroy a certain box
which a diigent search did not discover.
The Government on Sunday received information
that about seventy Canadians had left for OrtIand
all armed.
1he authorities now believe that there was no
raid on New Brunswick intended, but that 1t was
intended that the Portland dispatches detaning tae
dCparrure Of the Fenlans was dictated by o. Mahony,
and that their reported departure merely to
give color to the ehet thar New Brunswick was the
point AIMED at and that under cover OF this move
ment Sweeney or OMahOny would make desperate
raid upon Cnnada, probably with the Chicago gun
boats, and land his forces. An attack is daily
looked for.
The Cornwall prisoners have retained ex-Attor'
neY-General Mcdonald TO defend them, and their
preliminary examination comes OF tonight or TO.
morrow morning. Shea Is still under guard and
Wil probably be examined tomorrow.
