CHICAGO, September 13.-The st. Paul
Press OF yesterday morning says: ''Gentle-
| men who have just arrived from Fort Garry
| inform us that fierce, evaporation prevails
| among the French population there at the
| pertidious violation of the pledges made by
| the Canadian government, and by Minister
| Thornton to Secretary Fish, whereby the
| unopposed entrance of the Canadian troops
| was secured" tsiN
! Those gentlemen were told by Red Dog
before the. troops arrived that all had been
satisfactorily arranged, and that he was
| awaiting the arrival Of the newly appointed
Governor Archibald, with his troops, to
turn over the government to him.
| Until the arrival .Of the troops within a
| few miles of Fort Garry, he was confident
that the arrangement would be carried out
in good faith; that the troops had no other
| than pacific intentions which their COM
mander and their government had professed,
| and that Governor Archibald was to come
| up before them and receive the government
! at his hands.
! These assurances had been given him by
| Bishop Lache ON behalf Governor Archibald
! and the Canadian government, but at day
| light on the morning of the twcnty-third Of
August, word was brought to him that the
troops were advancing up Red river from
! Stonetort, and were making prisoners of
every one passing through their line, that
| they were in fighting array. capturing
horses and mounting them with rifemen,
| and Harvesting them to their artillery.
Riel saw at once that he had been de-
| ceiyed. and that these warlike demonstra-
| tions in country with no enemy in front
had hostile purpose; that it was treach
| erous, an ambuscade, surprise under a
e 4 4 IL. -
| the Provincial Government were to be the
| victims.
hiel, DOnohue, and Lchine. with few
| friends, at once took horses and fled, Riel
| going to American territory.
AS the troops entered Fort Garry they
loudly demanded of every one where Riel
| was, declaring they would shoot him on
sight. Everybody was arrested who was
| pointed out as having any connection with
| Rieis movements.
| On the day of arrival, the troops were
| paid off and let loose in the settlement,
which they turned into pandemonium.
Governor Archibald had not arrived.
The French half-breed population were
/ intensely excited by these events The ele-
| ments of rebellion are far more formida-
| BILE than ever, and are ready to burst into
| hame at any moment.
| There is story which is vouched for by
good authority that Riel and>his colleagues
| left Fort Garry and the country upon the
| advice of Bishop Lache, upon the assurance
| that after Governor Archibald arrived all
| would be we'll.
