tried to leave here last night in tugs an,
fat boats, probably to reinforce th'
Fenians, but owingto excellent arrange
ments which had been made by Unite'
States Attorney Dart and General Barry
in organizing picket boats, they wer
obliged to turn back.
Iti reported, but not confirmed. tina
force of Fenians have landed at Poin
Abino, ten miles above here on Lake
Erie, and some fears are expressed thai
Collingwood is the point threatened.
1t is stated that P. O'Day, the Head
Centre of Buffalo, who is known as the
prime mover of Fenians in this region
had been arrested on the other side
This is not confirmed yet, but we know
that the United States Attorney had
such intention.
A Grand Trunk railway official informs
us that a one-armed officer was arrested
on the Government road in Canada, and
is supposed to be General Sweeney, but
of course it is not
A portion of two British regiments
the Sixteenth and Forty sevOnth, with
seven companies of volunteers and two
batteries, now occupy the entire shore
opposite here to repel any invasion that
may occur, but there will not be any
from this place
By order of General Grant, General
Barry has had his military district ex'
tended, and it now embraces the north,
ern frontier from Lake Erie to Oswego.
A large additional force of regulars has
been ordered to report here A portion
have already arrived.
Previous to General Barry's advent as
commander on this frontier, no concert
of action had been agreed upon, though
U 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,
arrived in this city at 10 o'clock last
NIGHT from the West, aud took command
of the men here to reinforce O'Neill on
the Canadian side These are the ones
that were turned back:

LATER
gP M-General Meade has just ar
rived in town, which looks like con
firmation of my dispatch of yesterday,
that general invasion along the border
is contemplated The fact is concluded
by those ia command here that the
movement in this direction is only a
blind, while the main attack will he
made in the direction of Prescott, with
the object of moving on OuOwa, aud
capturing that post The Fenians in
town are yet undismayed, and say they
will have the place yet
~ P. M-The city is alive with rH-
mors to night, but small If any reliance
can be placed on them, but it is said that
the Fenians are thick here and that
more are coming Certain it is that
many strange faces can be seen on the
streets, and threats have been heard,
that they, the Fenians, have not done
with them yet What authority en-.
iaps have | don't know, but some Of
them seem to be confident of hearing
important news to night or tomorrow.
The prisoners are still in the open nat
beat in the river at the stern of the
Michigan, and as far as can be learned,
no orders as to their disposition have
been received. The Commander Of the
Michigan thinks he has got an elephant
on his hands.
II is understood that a portion Of the
British troops on the opposite shore
have been ordered to other points.
The Fenians killed at Ridgeway are
tin unburied on the field
General Meade left this evening for
Ogdensburg.
