The pris- oners in the hands of the Canadians have been forwarded Jo Toronto, Six moro were capturod yesterday, Tho Canadians were also leaving Fort Erie in squads, their ces nation being other threatened points along the border. One of the Fenian prisoners at Fort Erio was tried by drumhead court martial and shot yesterday. Another is to be shot at five A. M. to-day. Five were shot last evening in the woods back of Fort Erie. A writ of habeas corpus, signed by Judge Clinton, of Buffalo, for the delivery of the Michigan prigonors, was served on Captain Bryson yesterday. It was thought they would be transferred to the civil authorities on the strength of it, Ogdensburg appears to; be the Fenian point d’appui. The force in that city is numerous, and constant acces- sions are being quietly made to their ranks, The Ozdens- burg milltia is under orders to be in readiness at a moment's notice, the revenue cutter S. P. Chase is lying ‘with open ports inthe stream, and the Canadian boats &re tied up to the Canada shore.

Genoral Sweeny and ono hundred and fifty Fenians ‘Were on the same train, but got off at Potsdam. Information having been received by General Moado that General Sweeny had sont a force of Fenians to re- take a lot of arms which had been seized by the United States government at Watertown, a large force of regu- lars was despatched from Ogdensburg to overhaul the Fonians if they had attempted the capture, and it was feared that a collision would take place. Lord Monck, the Governor General of Canada, has is- Sued a proclamation calling upon the pgople of Canada to dofend their homes from the attacks of a lawless and Piratical band. Aroport, which is now known to be a canard, was published this morning to the effect that Kingston had been captured by the Fenians. The Fenian excitement in this city yesterday was at fever heat. A large amount of business was transacted at the Roberts-Sweeny headquarters. Seven hundred mea embarked from this city to the scene of action. A proclamation was issued by Colonel Roberts to the Irishmen of America, in which he counsels them to specdy action. A deputation of colored soldiers waited on Mr. Roberts, offering him their services in the Present war. A telegram has been received from Mr. Stephens, from Baltimore, stating that the movement on Canada is crushed, He intends issuing a manifesto for the future guidance of the brotherhood. He also ordered bonds of the Irish republic to the amount of $25,000 to bo forwarded to him. EUROPE.

The cases were six in number and contained a large amount of clothing and giassware belonging to the plaintiff.

Latest from the Border—Failure of the Fenians. The Fenian foray into Canada has culmi- nated and collapsed. The Fenians have failed. The Fort Erie movement, though evidently in- tended as a diversion, embraced, as it now ap- pears, the largest body ot the Fenians in the field. The movement itself and the combina- tions projected in its support were all depend- ent upon the chapter of risks and lucky acci- dents, Nothing was certain. John O'Neill, with a fow hundred mon, inaugurated the invasion, without artillery, cavalry or provisions, de- pending upon the chances of supplies and rein- forcements from this side; while his supporters on this side were dopendent upon the chances of running the gauntlet of the government fron- tier guards, The Fenians, gathering along the St. Lawrence, depended upon O’Neill, who de- pended upon Sweeny, and so on; but through the vigilance of our federal officials they have all failed together. Reinforcements failed to come up because they could not be equipped, because they could not get over the river, be- cause they could not concentrate at any point, because their arms and supplies were seized, and all through the active and zealous neutrali- ty measures of President Johnson’s administra- tion. Sir Frederick Bruce ought to be satis- fled and nobody else at Washington has any right to complain, The Montreal Herald, in a high state of patriotic indignation, pronounces this Fenian descent upon Canada “as more wicked and inexcusable, perhaps, than any that was ever committed since civilization has controlled the taste for marauding warfare;” and cannot comprehend “upon what grounds the most perverted mind can justify an asaault (a Fenian assault) upon the people of Canada, involving, as it must do, the murder and pillage of men who have never seen Ireland nor had any share in her wrongs, real orsupposed.” The ground of this movement, however, is simple enough. General Sweeny having seen something of the grand strategical combinations of General Grant, such as the making of Vicksburg and Chattanooga bases of operations against Rich- mond, hit upon Canada as a good Fenian base for operations against the Saxon in Limerick and Londonderry; base which will give him all the materials and supplies required for a deadly grapple with England on the high seas and in old Ireland itself. Marshal Pelissier, the successful French commander at Sebastopol, said, “If we can’t get in at the front door we must try the back window; it is our business to gotin.” Thisis war, and Sweeny means war for reland upon this principle. Moreover, if he can get a foothold in Canada, he has some three hundred thousand or more able-bodied Trishmen within convenient distances from which to draw his reinforcements, He wants ships to get these men over to Ircland and to get the Briton out, and Canada can furnish them. The innocence of the Canadians thas nothing to do with the matter. War does not stop at such nice distinctions. But, starting from a country the government of which is bound to arrest them in the overt aot of a hostile movement against a friendly Power, and invading a country armed to expel them and drawing their men and money almost wholly from our hard working Irish day laborers and domestics, this Canadian under- taking of the Fenians was surely moved by some other idea than that of taking Canada right away with a handful of infantry and a solitary “mounted Fenian.” This other idea is doubtless that which dictated Beauregard’s bombardment of Fort Sumter. His purpose was to fire the Southern beart and to draw the line in blood between the supporters of his confederacy and the defenders of the Union. Sweeny, adopting the same terrible expedient, contemplates the firing of the Irish heart, here, there, everywhere, in a renewal of the oath of Hannibal. How far this effect will be pro- duced by this Canadian raid it remains to be seen; but to a considerable extent such an effect is already apparent. Universally, we may safely conclude, Irish hatred of British oppression will be intensified. It is not im- probable in this view that the first reports of this Canadian foray may light the combustibles of Ireland into some insurrectionary outbreaks or at least wake up such an agitation as will raise some new and startling issues of reform to the aristocracy in the British Parliament. The upshot in any event will doubtless be a new exodus from Ireland to the United States, with an eye upon Canada as General Sweeny’s base of operations. Meantime the Canadians are thrown into that state of excitement which will be likely to serve the purposes of the con- federation party. Thus, between England and the Fenians there may be yet during the pre- sent generation a war in Canada for the vice- royalty under a prince of the Housg of Han- over or for Canadian indopondepee under the green banner of Brian Boroihme. —=————— Taiz Cocwrkt is fithirnl in fMgard to the Fenian war; but we have not allowed Fenian | Alabamas and Shenandoahs to leave our ports iat | to prey on British commerce, Ovr GovennMeNt not yot recognized the Fenians as a belligerent power. Why not? England recogn'zed our rebols a8 soon as the nows of their treason reached Earope, Question. The hopes and fears of people in Europe on the question of peace or war have been oacil- lating for some time past. One day war scems imminent, another day affairs wear a more peaceful aspect, The mails which arrive by the transatlantic steamers almost as regular 4s ferryboats keep us informed of the events which produce those changes. The last news is less warlike again in consequence of the action taken by several of the great Powers to settle the difficulty through a peace con- gress. It was positively stated in an extra edition of the Dresden official journal, “that the proposed congress at Paris had beon agreed to by all the Powers,” and that the first meeting would take place the fol- lowing Friday. This, it was said by several leading and semi-official. journals in Europe, was @ premature announcement ; butall agree that active negotiations were going on between the governments to that end and that nearly all had accepted the proposition. There is no doubt that invitations had been sent from and to the several governments for a congress, In fact the anmiety to setile the difficulty peaceably was so great that these in- vitations appear to have been interchanged, the same Powers both sending and receiving them. Summing up and comparing all the news from the different points, we think the Paris Constitutionnel comes nearest the truth in its statemont of the situation. It announces that France and England had agreed “upon the terms of the communication to be addressed to the governments concerned in the existing dif- ficulties.” Russia was expected to agree to this, if she had not already done so. The Lon- don Globe makes the same announcement. La France says if the congress meet it will be composed of the representatives of six Powers and probably also the representative of the Germanic Confederation. We suppose these six would be the representatives from France, England, Russia, Austria, Prussia and Italy. The Constitutionnel romarks:—“It is impossible to entertain any illusion upon the serious nature of the differences between Prussia, Austria and Italy ; but when France, England and Russia, after a maturely considered agreement, under- take such a mission, it would be puerile to suppose that they are not serious. From what has transpired the three courts seek conditions of agreement in territorial compensations which would offer indemnities and satisfaction to the claims of Prussia, Austria and Italy. The difficulty in the present state of affairs consists in finding the territorial compensa- tions suited to each case.” The Constitutionnel, in these sentences, has struck the key note of the whole matter. Ter- ritorial acquisition, adjustment or compensa- tion lies at the bottom of the difficulty, and that, tt appoars, must be the basis of peace. But where is thé territorial compensation to be found “suitable to each case?” That is the real question, the real difficulty, and on it hangs war or peace. Is the map of Europe to be reconstructed, and are the treaties of 1815, which the Emperor Napoleon despises, to be blotted out? If so, who is to gain and who to suffer? It is difficult to see how a ocon- gress can agree upon such a nice question when the ambition of each Power will be its controlling motive and when every one will endeavor to gain something at the ex- pense of some other one. Yet if three or four of these Powers could agree—if France, Eng- land and Russia could agree, for etample— the others must yield. The smaller States would be at the morcy of this council of their larger neighbors. As to the territory which Prussia coveta— Schleswig-Holstein—about which the trouble commenced betwoen that country and Austria, that could soon be settled if France, England and Russia would say the word. The serious difficulty is in Italy. The young kingdom of Italy is full of ambition and revolutionary fire. Inspired by the memories of past glory, by its extraordinary success within the last few years and by confidence in its destiny, it seizos the present opportunity, reckless of con- sequences, to aggrandize itself. The territorial compensation to satisfy its case is Venetia to begin with. Italian unity is the cry; and the Ttalians will not lay down their arms, unless forced to do so by the great Powers of Eu- rope, until they have realized some part of their ambitious object. The Emperor Napo- leon possibly might restrain Italy, though it is not certain he could short of threaten- ing war; but does he wish to do so? In the reconstruction of the map of Europe, and in these territorial compensations alluded to by the Constitutionnel, will France not come in fora share? It is hardly possible to conceive how Austria, the successor of the imperial dominion of Rome, could be induced to give up its ancient and magnificent territory of Venetia. Can this still powerful empire be negotiated or driven across the Carnic Alps? If to avoid war Austria would consent to part with Venetia, where is she to obtain territorial compensation? Not from Russia or the Ger- man States. Eastward and southward lie the Danubian principalities and Turkey. Is she to be compensated in that direction? And who else is to be compensated? Ifone great Power is to receive compensation the others will want it also, Thus we see that with all the pros- pects of a congress, with all the anxiety to avoid war, there are great difficulties in the way of a peaceful solution. A congress may possibly rearrange the map ofEurope, but if that should not it is likely the sword will. We are on the eve of important events, and every arrival from Europe will be looked for with the great- est interest, Our Nattonat Fracs were not displayed in honor of the Fenian victory as the British flags were in honor of the rebel victories.
