END Of the Attempt TO Plant the
Irish Republic i'm Canada.
BUFFALO, June 4

A gentlemen Just from the other side
states positively that at the battle of Water
loo, yesterday, only four of the Canadian
volunteers were killed and about twenty
five wounded, three of them seriously. The
report that Lieut. Col. Beaumont was killed
was false. as no such officer was with the
British forces.
General Meade and the United States Dis
trict Attorney Dart will arrive at Postdam
to day, to look after General Sweeny and
his base of supplies. The report that Mead
Centre day was captured in Canada is un-
true, but it is certain he is not visible to the
naked eye on this side.
BUFFALO, June 4.-The Express says that
while there were assuredly in this city some
two or three regiments of Fenians well
armed equipped and drilled, and while
liberal Getachments have been reaching here
from abroad during the past week, amount
ing to more than u thousand, the whole aug
mented army in Che field only amounted to
about q thousand men. Where the balance
are it is difficult to understand.
1t is q significant fact that among the
three or four thousand British troops at
Fort Erie yesterday, not Catholic lrishman
was to be found and not an officer of the
force was Irish.
