just returned from the United States
steamer Michigan, which is anchored
in the Niagara river, about four miles
below here. A large fiat boat is fasten-
ed to her, under her guns, having on
board about four hundred men, as near
as could be guessed at, but not seven
hundred, as at first reported. The Off
GERS are on board the Michigan, under
guard. Commander Bryan, of the
Michigan, is anXiously awaiting in
structions as to what he shall do with
the prisoners. The United States Dis
trict Attorney, Dart, is also awaiting
instructions from Washington as to
their disposition. 1t is considered I'M
safe to bring them here, as an effort
lease them. Considerable excitement
exists in this city. The general feeling
is that the government has done its
duty, and the people are glad that
the Eenians have fallen into American
hands. rather than to be captured by
the British. a force, stated at from 9OO
to 1900 men tried to leave here last night
in tugs and fiat boats, probably to rein
force the Fenians, but owing to excel
lent arrangements which had been
made by United States Attorney Dart
and General Barry, in organizing pick
ct boats, they were Obliged to turn
back. 1t is reported, hut not confirmed,

1t is stated that p. o. Day, the Head
Centre of Buffalo, who is known to be
the prime mover of Fenianism in this
region, has been arrested on the other

is known that the q. S. Attorney had
such instructions.
A Grand Trunk railway official in

Canada, and is supposed to be General
Sweeney, but of course it is not.
a portion of two British regiments,
the 10th, and 47th, with seven compa-
MES of volunteers and two batteries,
now occupy the entire shore opposite
here to repel any fresh invasion, but
there won't be be any from this place.
BY order of Gen. Grant, Gen. Barry
has had his military district extended,
and it now embraces the Northern
frontier from Lake Erie to OswegO.
a large additional force of regulars
has been ordered to report to him here.
A portion have already arrived. Pre-
vious to Gen. Barry's advent as Com
Inander on this frontier no concert of
action had been agreed upon though
the United States District Attorney did
all in his power, but by the complete
system of arming tugs and picketing
the river the Fenians have been frus-
trated from reinforcing their friends
and making any further advance upon
Canada from this point. a Fenian Gen.
Lynch. of Chicago, arrived in this city
at 10 o'clock last night from the west,
and took command of the men here to
reinforce O'Neill on the Canada side.
These are the men that were turned

10 P. M.-The city is alive with
rumors tonight. Not much if any
reliance can be placed on them, but II

many strange faces can be seen on the

the Fenian prisoners, but this was re-
fused, of course. 1t is rumored on the
streets to-day that the Fenians captured
by the British on the other side are to
be shot tomorrow morning; this is I'M
likely. They will probably be sent to
Toronto to night or Tomorrow.
