Vest to -eight a very meugre. The
• latest dispatch •il;•om Battleford is from
. ,,the Hudson' Bay rfactor, Me-
t' Kay, dated 12 o'clock last night. It
ssteted that a large nti nber of Indians
,were camped within six miles of Bat-
tleford'and that relief was wanted st
once. There is no doubt that the sit-
uation of, the people there is desperate,
.and an attempt should be made to
reach them as quickly as. possible.
Some are inclines to think that .the
Indians are going to march on to the
Fort Pittand seize the large quantity
of supplies stored there, the ouly de-
fensive force being twenty-five Police,

It is said the troops at Prince A•bert

QU'APPELtid STATioN, April 2 —Peo-
ple are arriving from the North every
day, and each one brings sdmething
new concerning the outbreak. The
"halfbreeds• when tl ey reach here all
play the roll of refugees, and usually
succeed in making people believe that,
they are tlxorouubly loyal.. They des-

while he told the Prince Albert people
=that he would not molest them unless
they made offensive demonstrations,
he also assured them that should he.
find it necessary he would net hesitate
to confiscate anything he required, no
matter who owned it.
Qu'APPELLE, April 8.—The wiles
between here and Biddeford have now
been cut. From this out Pie only
cleans of communication will be by
courtiers, who will necessarily be few
and faa between. Of course as the
troops advance repairs will be made so
that .nfo illation will be speedily ren-
dered regardinp-any engagement. •
No .encounter has yet taken place

the troops so far being unopposed.
It is not drought Biel will risk ° any
engagement until forced to, will pro-
tract the campaign by sintply harrass-
ing the troops as they advance.
It is stated that the force at Prince

but provisions are short.
Fora Qu'APPE LB, N. W. T., April
6. --From all we oan gather hero, Riel
is greatly disappointed. He had ex -
petered a genera] movement from h lf-
breeds and Indians from the Ameran
frontier jdit below Wood Mountain,
togethei with a ;enamel Indian upris-
ing. There is no doubt that the In-
dians in the northern country are with
him, but the action of.,the American
authorities has sn,nmaril.y out of his
hopes of assistance frfim the south of
the line. It is now generally believed
therefore that while he may snake a
show of resistance at or near Clarke's
crossing, he will not attempt a stand-
up fight with the troops. In all prob-
ability he will beat a 'retreat across the
North Saskatchewan into the north-
• ern forest, and. there General Middle
ton must abandon pursuit. This vast
forest consists of beech, popular, birch
and hazel, with dense underbrush
and buffalo grass, and is utterly im-
passable for troops..
Wrensie SC, April 6. ---Private dis-
patches from the front this morning
would indicate t state of fear among
Riel and his inherents at theimmense
military preparations being made to
subjugate him, and the ringleaders
are reported as.deserting the rebel's
standard, being afraid of their necks.
