MONTREAL, May 25.-The latest despatch re-
ceived states that the Fenians are at Trout
river, in Huntington county, intending to cross.
Six hundred volunteers will leave for the front
at noon. The Goth Regiment is expected at
o'clock from Quebec. The Fenians, to the num-
Der of 3000 are at Pigeon Hill, and are throw
ing up intrenchments.
Lord Colonel Russell and the Prince Consorts
Own Rifles have gone to the front with the
Montreal Volunteers. They are going to attack
the ntrenchments Prince Arthur goes with
this regiment on Lord Russells staff. Colonel
Osborne Smith, in command OF the Volunteers,
goes as the advance guard. The Fenian move
ments will not at all Interfere with the Red River
expedition. Great satisfaction is expressed at
President Grants proclamation.
battery of artillery has just left for the
'front.' and all the other troops in the city are
ready to move at a moments notice The volun-
teers all respond with the utmost readiness
The Fenians need not expect much mercy, the
very strong feeling of deep Indignation against
them being universal. 1t is thought the Mill
tary authorities will not attempt to check the
invaders near the border, but will allow them to
come in some distance in order to get good
chance at them. This is understood to be
General Lindsey's advice.

that there is no danger. (Cheers.) But / attacl

Commissioners started some changes were fOun
necessary by the Executive, and they had TO decid
