ciudes His Defepce OF RieI-The In-
dicted Member or Parliament Does Not
Put In an Appearanco--Great Excite-
ment I'm Ottawa.
OTTAWA, Ont, April 8, 1874
In the House last night the Premier stated, In
answer 10 a question, that the government did not
intend to ap,:v for any amnesty for offences COM
mltted in the northern territories during the insur.
rection OF 1869.
The Times this morning publishes the conclusions
OF Archbishop Tache's manifesto. in which that
preiate sums up the argument on the Rie ques-
tion. The imperial authorities, he contends, are
bound by the acts OF their agent (the Governor
Generan, and the Dominion authorities. by re-
reated promises OF pardon. and by receiving the
delegates after tho murder Of Scott.
Intense excitement prevailed in the vicinity %
Parliament this afternoon In reference TO the Nam
itoba agitator. The lobbies were crowded and tho
spaces surrounding the building were occupied BY
an tmmense crowd, fully 1000 privileged parties
being unable to obtain admittance.
At quarter past four O'Clock the order OF the
day respecting Rte had not been reached, and
rumor was started In the densely packed galleries
that the 06ender had surrendered to parties In
Lower Canada, on which account the French MEM
bers were TO ask for him q months leave OF alb
sence. Another rumor stated that in consequence
OF the illness OF Attorney General Clark, Of Man
toba. the Riel matter was to be adjourned for,
about twenty-four hours. This subsequently
proved correct. Towards ave O'Clock, when 1t was
apparent that Riel would not put in An appear
ance It was stated that he intended TO await the
arrival OF Archbishop Tache from Manitoba. by
whom he would be advised as to the course he
should pursue.
At half-past dve however, the House adjourned,
postponing the question until tomorrow. Trouble
was expected between the French Catholics and
the Orangemen, VINO had gathered In about equal
numbers, but everything passed or peaceaby.
