Cutc,ao. June 4-The Fenian invasion at |
Fort Erie has resulted disastrously. From the
mass of the dispatches, it appears that reinforce
ments attempted to cross the niagara river on |
Saturday night, June I'd, but were driven back
by the United States gunboats. The situation
on the Canadian side being perilOus, from the
close proximity Of 5000 British regulars under
Col. Gordon, Col. 0'Neal, commanding the
FEfFefa ainYaders, attempted TO retreat across the

BUFFALO, June 2, 6 P. M.-Accounts from the
battle Of Ridgeway are so conflicting it is almost
impossible to get the truth. Some still assert
| that the Fenians drove and whipped the Oanadi-
ans and others to the contrary. Col. Starr com
manding the Fenians, gave orders to scatter and
save themselves.
The affair at Fort Erie this afternoon, was
brief but severe The Canadian Captain was
wounded, and Fenan Captain killed. The
British forces consisted of the 47th, 10th, and
10th Regulars and artillery besides

4 CHICAGO, June 6th.-Tbe excitement contin-
ues about new invasion Of Canada. If Fen
ians were, however, half as active and beige
rent as the gentlemen engaged in getting up tel
| egraphc news, they would have had Canada
before this time. 1t is nevertheless certain that
the activity among the Fenian Circles through
, out the country is greater than ever, and that
, men are being hurried forward from all parts OF
. the country. This looks ominous and gives rea-
, sons for concluding that there is more trouble
ahead. The Fenian forces being massed ai

moving heavily loaded with armed bodies OF
