The case or the seiznre OF arms at Pembina hi 3
received the attention Of the government and orders
have been aent by di ection Of the President to re-
lease the arms, but not to allow them to pass into
the Red River country. 1t appears that these arms
had reached Pembina before the government had
defined its policy upon the Red River struggle. The
arms were British property, and in view or the Cir

Is expected that the privilege VIII be confined the
provisions or the law and the treaties between the
two countries.
