BUFFALO, June Sat an early hour this morn
ing warrants were issued by the United States
Commissioners in this city, commanding the
| United States Marshal to apprehend the Fenian
| officers who are now on board the steamer Michi-
gan, and bring them before the Commissioners
for examination, when it will be decided whether
they shall be held for trial before Judge Hall.
The complaint is stated as follows:
Whereas. as complaint has this day been made
that - did, on or about the &lst day of May,
1866 at the city of Buffalo, within the Northern
District of New York and jurisdiction of the
United States, begin, and set foot. and provide
and prepare the means for u military expedition
to be carried from thence against the territory
and dominions of the Province of Upper Canada
her Government and people, with which the
United States are at peace, contrary to the prOvi
sions of the actof Congress concerning neutrality
passed in lSlS
Its said that the officers will make no defense
in eonfessng breach of the neutrality laws The
writ of hdbeds corpus was served last evening and
returnable at nine this morning, but the hearing
was postponed till tomorrow morning to give
Commander Bryson of tho Michigan time to con-
suit with the authorities at Washington The
prisoners are really in custody of the civil au-
thorities, and the military and naval forces are
guarding them
On the other side early this morning. four more
Fenan prisoners were brought in and placed in
the Niagara Ferry House; many of them met with
a quicker fate. as the volunteers shoot them dead
when found 1t is reported that no less than
twenty or thirty have been shot in the woods
round about Fort Erie and Ridgeway. but this
needs confirmation. Altogether the Canadians
have about 100 prisoners, Of whom fifty are doubt
less civilians, as arrests were made with very lit.
tie discrimination. Sixty are now reported to be
lodged in the Brantford jail and few at Port
Coborne.
All trains on the Grand Trunk are running re-
gularly East and West.
Colonel Lynch, of Chicago. who assumed the
command of the Fenians of Buffalo Friday night
left the city Sunday night. and reported TO have
taken with him a number of the Fenians who
were waiting to reinforce Colonel ONein. Col.
Lynch declared that had the situetio been known
at Chicago any number of troops could have been
obtained for the purpose Of joining the Fenians
at Fort Erie. The expedition comprising some
three hundred men under command of Captain
Donahuc, is reported to have left the city last
night: their destination is unknown, but their de-
parture was known TO the United States authori-
ties. Gen. Barry last night received dispatch
from Gen. Meade stating that no landing had
been effected at any point in his vicinity.
Two batteries Of United States artillery from
Fort Schuyler arrived here this morning. and
other. troops came last night. Reports that
arms had been seized at P. ODoy's store. who is
the Head Centre here, is, we believe incorrect as
the only arms taken from his shop were seized in
the way of business by the Fenians. We can get
no confirmation of the street rumor that the Uni
ted States Consul. at Fort Erie, was insulted by
British officer or any other man.
WATERFOWL, June 5-The Fenian train was
come up with at Richyille, the first station South
OF Dekalb Junction. by company of U. s
troops, who took the arms and ammunition ia
charge. The Fenians were unloading the arms
when the troops arrived. intending TO run them
across the country, having received information
of troops awaiting them at DeKaIb. No resist
ance was made
This mornings train. going North has on board
a company of Fenians and dctlchUent of Z.
S. regulars.
