through there towards the Canadian
border, and there is reliable informa-
ton that nearly 10000 are concentra-
ted there.
The United States regulars when sent

ges, but after they were gone, 400 balls
were found on the ground where they
| had loaded.

there are 10000 troops there, one-halt
| being regulars. ,
There was continued excitement last
night among the Fenian fraternity.
Attorney General Speeds order to ar
rest all prominent Fenians, acted un-
! favorabiy in the Brotherhood. A war
rants has been issued for the arrest of
President, Roberts and placed in the
hands of Marshal Murray, but Ro-
| berts could not be found.
! Roberts has issued characteristic
| address to the Fenians, denouncing the
course of England during our late war,
and its active sympathy with the
Southern States. He feels assured that
most of the true and loyal Americans
are with their Irish brethren, who
fought for the preservation of this re-
public. He bids his fellow-country-
men be of good cheer, and predicts that
| all will vet be well. mo matter, fell
ow-countrymen, how many of us may
fall, our cause will triumph as sure as
just God lives, and Irishmen and
their descendants remain true to the

ny Hall was closed, and the FenianS
were greatly discouraged by the action

raised yesterday for the Fenian cause.

that more will soon follow.

day, says: Gen. Sweeney has ordered
an advance. Gen. Mahon commands
up the support. The British soldiers
who were at st. Armand have gone to
st. Alexander.

on railroads. Now and then arrives a
man who has sabre. p. o. Day,
head centre of the L. G. K. is in New

tered all over the city among their Irish
SYmpathiZers.
