Letter From Ottawa.

OTTAWA, June Sth, 1856.
l left ST. Adams last evening in
company with Carleton the well
known correspondent Of the Boston
Journal, for a flying visit to the CAPT
toll of Canada. During our entire
trip, Fenianism was the absorbing
topic of conversation. At Ogdens-
burgh we found Gen Meade and staff
quartered at the Seymour House, and
the fever of excitement running high,
with no prospect of abatement only as
Gen. Meade was administering allo-
pathic doses to his patients. We
found considerable difficulty in cross
ing the St Lawrence with our bag
gage consisting Of two travelling bags
with change of clothes in each
One would have supposed, from the
critical manner with which they were
examined that we each of rs had Il
little Fenian concealed in them, or a
cogent argument in favor Of the Irish
Republic in the shape of bullets We,
however, soon convinced the terrified
official that our purpose was only to
visit what my companion was pleased
to call the land Of "the beef-eaters,
and inspect their Parli lment buildings
not yet fully completed Our frank
countenances We're sufficient passports
for us and we went on our way re-
joicing. We took the Ottawa branch
of the Grand Trunk Railroad. run
ming between Prescott and Ottawa,
fifty miles in length, which was trav-
eled III about four hours There
were a number of members of Paria-
ment in the cars on their way to the
capitol TO participate in the opening
ceremonies We found that they
differed in opinion as to their feelings
towards the United States Government
for their timely interference in the
suppression of the Fenian efforts
to take Canada. While some of
them were disposed to acknowledge
their gratitude, others expressed their
regrets that the Fenian army was not
permitted to enter the Province un-
molested. This latter class boosted
OF their proves and bravery. They
claimed that the abrogation of the
Reciprocity Treaty made them self
reliant people, and this invasion would
afford them an opportunity of dis
playing their native strength. Be
sides this, the nipping of Fenian-
ism in the bud without extricating the
roots and branches, would result in
its blossoming at some future day in
the shape of raids and maraudino
excursions upon their territory. In
this respect the Fenians were not less
disappointed than these capacious
'beef-eaters. We fear that the 40
600 stand of arms seized by General
Meade would have told a sad and
doleful tale for the Provinces after n
two months encounter with men who
have participated in strategic move
ments and victories without parallel
on this continent
After tour through the oity of
Ottawa, of population of about DO
600 inhabitants, and surveying its
river of the same name, and its land
seapes and bluffs of Il picturesque
character, we visited the recently
erected Parliament buildings. They
are built of brown sand stone Tho
Parliament building proper is located
IN the center, and the post-office and
Agricultural Departments ON either
side. They are ON high bluff over
looking the whole city and surround

6sly~ There was great excitement in
st. Adams, Vermont, on Sunday, crea-
ted by the story that the British
troops had pursued and captured Fe-
mans in United States territory, and
shot them after drum-head court-mar-
tial. The Fenians and their friends
were furious and some Canadians in
the town were in considerable peril,
had to leave their hotels, and place
themselves under the protection of
General Meade.-Wontreai Ielegraph
The Ydegaph's statement is simply
fiction. There was no great excite
mcnt' in St. Adams on Sunday. On
the other hand, considering the num-
Der of soldiers and returning Fenians
in town (who, by the way have fright
eled the wits ont Of some of our Cana
dian neighbours it was remarkably
quiet. We have yet to learn that Ca
nadians, were in considerable peril
or that they had to place themselves

The moment that it was ascertained
that the Fenians were leaving, there
was great commotion among the Red
Coats" They swore eternal vengeance
upon the Fenians and only wished
they could have met them. Thinking
that possibly some few might be found
they proceeded in companies to scour
the country. AT dusk thay discovered
