Eas,por Addresses made by Kilan, Major Snnett
/ Col. Stephens, Mcdonald and OIiiey They claimed
TO appear as citizens in convention agtae the question
OF relands liberty, and said that though pnyate citizens
now tho good people of Easport must not be surprised II
/ they wake up some fine morning transformed into
something else If occasion require They said they were
not raiders and intended taking mans life property,
but what to be done would be done in Honorable
way. They spoke of dlsseDsions existing IN the Prov

ton and said if the British Government showed detor-
minaton to force the upon the Provinces, and
portion of the people TO raise the standard of revolt

inoes into Irish Republic 1hoy spoke strongly OF En-
gland aid and sympathy TO the Rebels and claimed that
irshmen had right to expect the gratitude of a Amer
for the aid rendered them in suppressng the Rebel
lion.
Each arrival of steamer from Boston brought minors
of large arrivals of Fenans. IL said the steamer
New-York brought 80 and the NewBrunswick, Tues
day. landed $50 mOrc II Is now claimed that over JOO
tho border ready to strike at any moment and
vet tell where they are and II is undoubtedly
true that they quarercd more in the maglnaiiOns OF
frightened citizens and designing Provincial politicians
than the borders Of Maine. No such numbers OF men
have arrived are heroab0ut TO be found.
Add to the primary object of establishing Fenan circles
and holding meetings on the border the fact that the Con-
federation movement in the Provinces is served by the
Fenan excitement and the explanation Of and occasion
for all the sensational articles in the Provincial press and
dispatches TO New-York papers is not difficult.
The Provincial authorities have been greatly alarmed al
these movements and intense excitement prevails along the
southern borders The entire volunteer force has been
called out and the several organizations are under arms
the militia have been ordered to parade on appointed days
and TO be held in readiness TO respond promptly to sud
den call Thus, the whole military force is practically
marshalei and ready for active service
YESTERDAY, Admiral Hopes flagship Duncan-S6 guns
and go men-anyed at -. Andrews having on board 600
regular English troops Three hundred Of these are 10 be
stephen opposite Calais. These English men-ol-"ar had
preceded the Duncan and tie fleet of four vessels is moorcd
in the hlrbor. With these preparations the British auhon-
ties with manifest anxiety are awaiting further develop
mcnts
Meantime rumor has it that Fenians in small squads
and in parties of from 50 to $50 continue arrive the
down this time have been civil and orderly On Tues
day night there fire alarm on both sides OF the nyer
and considerable confusion ensued. II rs the custom IN
case of fire for the people residing opposite sides OF tho
river to cross to each others roef On Tuesday night
strong guards were placed the bridges and no Que wes
allowed 10 cross
There is great effort being made by reporters here TO
manufacture sensational DISPATCHES and hence the Fenan
war is much formidable elsewhere than at its re-
ported seat Thus few days ago, two English soldiers
who had been drinking freely wandered across the bridge
Calais whore they gccOsed rs "loDster-Dacks,
and becoming quaTesOme promptly sent back TO tho
St. Stephen side by orier Of English lieutenant and
without any violence whatever from any source. Tbs Is
the whole Of the First Battle in the fenian War re-
ported in one Of the New-York papers.
The reported capture Of an English revenue dag Is
equally false. There dispute 10 whether the reve-
nue. boat should be At India Island at Campo Beo, aud
while the matter in abeyanco squad Of the Campo
cllo party seized the dag from the cutter al India
Island and carried away Fcnansm and Ecnians had
nothing 10 do in The matter
Down 70 tbe preseut, no collision, nor anything ap
preaching it, has occurred between the Poync.ass aud
fenans. Gov. Cory has sent Adusni-Gen. Congdon 10
Eastpor and Caais that the Laws Of The state sucr
no 1fracton Gen Meade has been ordered here 20 main
tain the neutrality Of tho United States Government aud
that tho nation suffer indgniiy from either oi
