gan; also their colors and those captured
by them at the battle of Ridgeway, which
the Canadians call Limestone Ridge.
The Express says, the whole augmented

II Is difficult to understand.
IL is significant fact that among the
three or four thousand troops nc Fort Erie,
not Catholic Irishman was to be found,
and not an officer of the force was Irish.
LATER.-A gentleman Just from the other

of Ridgeway only four of the Canadian vol

wounded-threc seriously.

LATER MOVEMENTS.
BUFFALO, June 4--S L. M.
Among the trophies captured by the
Fenians was one stand of colors which
Colonel O'Neill refuses TO give up, although
they have been demanded by the British
commander. About one thousand British
troops are encamped at Fort Erie. The
balance have been recalled. Twcnty-sev-
en- carloads OF fthem passed through Hamil-
ton to-day for Toronto, where they have
been ordered. The entire volunteer force
and militia OF Canada have been called out.
| About two hundred British are at Sus-
pension Bridge, and close scrutiny is kept
on all persons going into Canada.
This is one great reason that 1t Is not be-
| licvcd the main attack has not yet dcvel-
oped itself 1t is generally believed that
the main attack will be made in close proX
unity to Ottawa, the Capital of Canada.
| A ST. Albans dispatch says there are a
great many Fenians there, and that they
are preparing for movement. IL would
seem the people of Vermont have tasted a
little of British neutrality, and are willing
| to allow the Fenians to return the compli-
ment. What night viii bring about no
one can even guess.
A lot of Fenian arms and munitions OF
war were seized ut this place to-day by
General Barry, commanding United States
| forces. r..f.1 I.--in-
What disposition the War Department
will make OF the Fenian prisoners here is
not known. They are still on the barge in
the middle of Niagara river, exposed to
the weather. Not a very desirable posi-
| ton.
New YORK, June A.
The specials TO the evening papers say
the Government considers the invasion of
Canada virtually ended.
1t is said the British Minister has de-
manded the surrender from our Govern
ment of the captured Fenians. 1t Is not
probable that the request will be complied
with, though the Government has not yet
decided.
| A Montreal dispatch of last night says
that the royal mail steamer Himalaya has
arrived at Quebec with the Canadian One
Hundredth, or Prince of Wales Regiment,
together with the Forty-third Regulars,
direct from Malta.
