FORT ABERcRonBlR,

Inject here mail from the Red River settlements,
and halt on my route to Fort Garry to forward in
detail important news, OF which the telegraph will
give but meagre synopsis from 81. Paul. Tne in
seiligcncc respecting the movements OF the Sioux
upon the settlements cannot be better communi-
Gated from here than IN the following article from

From the above 1t will be seen that the Sioux are
already seriously threatening the Req River SETTLE

shat section at any time. Nothing later than this
news has been received here through The Red River

the Indians propose to do. Another mail is due on

definitely indicative of the Indian designs.
