New YORK, June IA letter purporting to
have been written in Texas, aud addressed to Col.
Roberts, president Of the Fenians, in this city.
concerning the purchase Of arms in that State,
having been made public by Marshal Murray, Col.
Roberts called upon that officer yesterday for an
explanation as to how ne became possessed of it,
as he tGol. Robertsl had never seen it.
Marshal Murray explained that it was addressed

handed over to him. The Fenian box is ., al
l This explanation Col Roberts regards as very un.
satisfactory and very unlikely, and takes the Mar
shsl to task for making the letter public, claiming
that by so doing he shows himself to be in the

and also against q portion of the citizens of this
country who have sealed their loyalty TO the
Union with their blood upon every battlefield
since its existence.
the Fenian circles ramify through all the prov.
nces, and are understood to be acting in concert
with their brethren from the American side. This,
1t is supposed will tend to overthrow the conf.
dence of the authorities in any endeayor to resist
the invaders by the aid of the militia As for
regular troops, there are but 5000 Of them, of
whom large proportion are in full sympathy and
fellowship with the Fenians There is therefore
reason according to Official authorities here to an
ticipate an early uprising Of the Canadian popu-
lation, and fraternizing of the British soldiers
with the people, as in the days of the barricades il
Paris.
It is also claimed that not only the Irish ipbab
tants Of the provinces, but the French Canadians
are connected with this conspiracy and WILL at the
proper time, add their cooperation. II is possible
therefore, that the occupation of Fort Erie is but
an attemptto divert attention while blow more
decisive will be struck at more vital point OF
British North America In that event we NAV
expect to see the lower st. Lawrence responding
at an early day TO the call OF the Fenians.
