BUFFALO, June 81 P. M.-From four O'Clock
this morning immense crowds have lined the
American bank OF the river, in expectation of
witnessing another engagement on the part of
the Fenians with either the volunteers or regu-
lars. At that time straggllng parties of Eenians
had just landed, and were dragging themselves
towards the city. and number of skIffs we're
bringing others across. By this means over two
hundred and fifty men of the Fenan army were
landed, the rest having been arrested by the
United States steamer Michigan, as you have
already been advised. Before leaving the Cana
dian side the men threw their rifles bayonets
and accoutrements into the river. So anxious
were they to get across that many tore down
planks and essayed to swim across with their
aid.
At daybreak, as soon as the evacuation was
discovered, nothing could exceed the jubilatons
OF the so recently frightened Kanucks. The
late British prisoners assumed all their former
dignity, and immediately seized all Fenian
effects left behind.
AT eight o'clock it was reported that large
body OF English troops was advancing, and at
nine O'Clock the head OF the column appeared,
comprising skrmishing party OF fifty-fve men
OF the lst York Volunteers, under Major Denni-
son. In short time the remainder of the
troops followed, ana are now stationed along
the line from the old Fort Erie to Freeburys
creek, distance OF about two miles. The body
of troops is composed of the following, in all
about two thousand five hundred strong:-47th
Infantry, 10th Infantry, battalion of the Goth
Rifles; 4th Artillery Captain Crows Battery,
known since the Crlmean war as the "Greys
Battery from the color OF their horses; Colonel
Hostess Battery, the lst York Cavalry Volun-
teers, and a number of rife companies from
various places. The whole are under the COM
mand of Colonel Lowery, 47th Regiment.
The coumnlett Toronto at one O'Clock yester
day afternoon at Port Dalhousie, by boat, and
thence by rail. They arrived about four miles
down the river last night and encamped for the
night. fearing to come forward, owing to igno-
rance OF the roads and the intense darkness of
the night They moved down from their encamp-
mpnt morning a aN fha
woods as they came along. They captured three
Fenians on the way.
On hearing of the evacuation by the Fenians
the rage OF the troops knew no bounds, and
curses will harm the late invaders they are
already destroyed. They were received along
the road with every demonstration OF Joy by the
people, who, however wished they had come
little sooner. The sight of the Femans under
arrest on the scow alongside of the Michigan
seemed very pleasing to them, and all expect
they VIII be delivered over on the demand
beng made.
On arriving at Waterloo ferry the 47th and 10th
Regiments broke ranks and commenced eXamin-
ing the scenes OF yesterdays battle, and con-
graduating the volunteers on their escape from
durance vile.
The English troops are by no means well
drilled, and do not present at all that imposing
aspect expected with the probable exception of
the Grey Horse battery, certainly splendid
company. The officers are all of that foppish
type so much heard of, with the exception of
Colonel Lowery, who seems perfect gentleman.
fcW IL any Ol int sOluIeIs are lGBn, anu, Win
one exception, all are Proestants, and, it is said,
stauI ch to the English Government.
Colonel Lowery gave directions for the ferry
Doats TO resume running and will permit all
persons having regular business to pass either
10 or from Canada. He will permit all wounded
remains to be removed by their friends to hos
pltals IN Buffalo, but will have them, il left at
Fort Erie, receive the most careful medical
treatmentpossible He will also permit Roman
Catholic clergymen either to visit the wounded
or bury the dead. No proposals can be fairer.
10 the list OF killed and wounded already
given now can name Ensign TObey, of the
Queens Own, badly wounded; William Van Den
WORTH of the same regiment also badly hurt
man named Lecky, of the same regiment,
dead; and w. f. Tempest, medical student in
the same regiment Colonel Baylee of Buffalo.
is badly wounded He is great favorte across
the river and in Buffalo. Two or three wounded
Fenians have died last night, and no less than
seven amputatiOns of the leg have been made
to day at Fort Erie.
Wherever else the Fenans may invade further
attack at this point is improbable.
BUFFALO, June $3.50 P. M.-Large crowds
shll line the bank of the river, watching the
military on the other side and the Fenians OF
board the scow alongside the Michigan.
The one absorbing subject of debate here Il
What the United States Government will do will
the men-siX or seven hundred in all. Some
hold that the fact of the United States capturing
them necessitates their being given up TO the
Canadian authorities. This opinion is fully en-
dOrsed by the Kanucks, but others hold tina
such course would be contrary to all interna
tiOnal law.
Early this morning Major Randall, pursuant
10 General BaTTys orders, proceeded with
