The Tribune Of the 26th publishes a
statement from a gentleman whom it
vouches for as entirely Trustworthy,
to the effect that early in May he left
the Vermillion country on Lake Su-
perior, for Fort st. Francis, a fur
trading post on the British side Of
Rainy Lake He found $500 British
soldiers. fully equipped and proviss
ioned. They had large feet of river
canoes, with which they intended to
make their way to the Red River
country. He thinks that ere this
they have reached Lake Of the
Woods. It is supposed these troops
were started from Canada as soon as
navigation permitted them. There is
considerable excitement around Fe-
man headquarters this morning. They
expect to hear OF fight at Malone
during the day.
About forty men left for the East
on the IL: 30 train.
