The great feature ofth9 news this week
il the invasion of Canada by the Robert
Swesny wing of the Fenians. The conspiFa-
cy to that end, which has been SO long in
a maturing and so many times has failed
has at last come to a head. The invasion
seems to be at several points. A body un,
der Gen. O'Neil have captured Fort Erie,
and moving or to R~idgeway had an engage
mont with the Canadian militia, in which
the Fenians were defeated. Gen. Sweeny
is reported to be at ST. Adams with a large
force. United States troops have gone
forward and Gen. Grant has issued the fol-
owing order. -,eag.. ... ssE

BUFFALO, june So A. M.-The Fenian
force evacuated Fort Etie last night, and
most Of them attempted to reach the shore,
and about seven hundred were gobled by
the United States boats guarding the river,

CANS guns at Black Rock. The English

1t is pretty generally believed that the
English at Ridgeway were defeated and.
