THE RED RIVER EXPEDITION.
THE " CliTCOR.A. " STOPPED BY THE AMER'-
.
.cANs,—EMBARKATION OF THE FIRST
-TROOPS.—THE SECOND DETACH-
MENT.
• '
A telegram was received in Toronto,
about 8 o'clock on Titursda7 evening, stating
that the Amercans had refused to allow the,
Chicor4, laden with stores for the use of
Red River troops, to pass through the Sault
Ste. Marie Canal; shtt consequently landed
her cargo on the Canadian side and return-
ed to C011ingwood, Which place she reached
that eveningi
COLLINGWOOD, May 12.—The Chicora ar-
rived here at 7. o'clock p.m. She arrived
. at Garden River on her up trip at 7 o'clock
a.m. on Tuesday, and discharged boats and
some other goods, and men to man them.
She arrived at Sault Ste. Maria'Canada
side about noon, orossed to the American
side shortly after, and reported to the Cus-
toms.
There appeared to be no intention on the
part of the officials to pre -Vent a .passage
, through the Canal, but shortly ',after the
Customs .officer came on board and asked
for a manifest of the cargo on board, which
was furnished him, and with which he ap-
peared perfectly satisfied.
.A short time after that, the Captain' was
informed that he could not g� trough the
Canal, but that he had better wait until
Thursday noon,- when he expected further
orders.
On being asked whether he thou• ght he
could get through then, the answer was not
satisfactory.
The Captain then crossed to the Canada
side, and discharged the cargo, and left for
Collingwbocl at 3 o'clock p.m. on -Wedn.es,
day.
The steamer Algoma was at Point aux
Pins waiting orders. .
The - following telegraphic despatch nom
Detroit. exclatins the rules which -are suppos-
ed.to regulate such matters as between the
Federal and State Governments :—
DETROIT, May 12.—An article in this
evening's Detroit Tribune probably semi-
official, the Sault Ste. iarie Canal guess
_lion, says :—
" As incorrect reports concerning the ac-
tion of our State authorities regarding the
use of the canal have been afloat, we deem
it advisable that an accurate statement of
facts be made. When it became apparent
that the Canadian authorities designed te
transport troops and supplies, via St. Mary's
River, the officers of our. State took into
consideration the question what their du-
ties, as the power immediately controlling
the. Ship Canal, might be in the premises.
By the terms of the -United States Constitu-
tion, the possessed no authority over the
question of transit of troops of another na-
tion through Michigan, but matters of this
nature were subject to the regulation of the'
General. Government. In. an emergency,
where no previous preparation -was possible,
,aud prompt action necessary, and communi-
cation with - Washington impracticable;
State authorities would probably be entitled.
to assume the responsibility and temporari-
ly exercise the functions of a distinct na-
tionality, but their- action would be subject
to revision by the President. .The Miehi-
gan authorities based their recent coursa
upon the foregoing principles. Last week
the Governor telegraphed to the Washing-
ton authorities of the current understanding
here as to the intentions of the Dominion
Government, and asked for instructions con.
cerning the use of the Canal. A reply was
received by letter last week, in which the
State Department took the same view of
the duty of the Michigan Executive as the
above, and requested that no "Vessel carry-
ing troops or munitions of war be alloWecl
to pass the canal, unless with express per-
mission of the -United States Government.
Upon receipt of this doctmaent, the 'Got-er-
nor mailed an order to the Stipgintenclent
of the Canal, directing him to decline to al-
low that work to be used by any foreign
, vessel carrying troops or munitions of war ,
unless express permission should be first re-
ceived from the United States Government,
or the State G-overnment acting under the
direction of the -United States Government.
This order probably reached the Superin-
tendent last Saturday.
The Canadian steamer Algoma, carrying
stores, passed through the Canal on the pre-
vious day, and probably would not have
come within the prohibition in the above
orders.
COLLINGWOOD, May 14.—Troeps arrived
at. Collingwocal by a special train at six o'-
clock. Over two hundred people assembled
at the station with, the band of the 35th
Battalion, which struck up lively airs as the
Volunteers disembarked from the cars.
Great enthusiasm was manifested all along
the route. There was great cheering. The
men. are in high spirits and splendid form.
They seem to relislithe start. The train
pulled up at the station where :the troops
formed in line under the command of Cap-
tains Cook- and McMillan, who reported
themselves to Colonel Boulton. They then
m.arched to the Chicorar\lying alongside the
wharf. ,
The steamer is loaded with Government
stores, and started at nine o'clock with co-
lours flying, . -amid tremendous cheering.
Mr. Simpson, MP., for Algoma, accom-
panied the detachment
There is every prospect of a fine voyage
to the Sault Ste. Marie. The steamertcalls
at Killarney, Little Current, Bruce Mines,
and expects to get at Ste. Marie on Monday
at noon The arrangements on board are
excellent The vessel is wader the command
of Captain McLean. -
The steamer Chicor- a takes 24 horses to
take the stores across the Portage at the
Sault.
The Chicora will try to get through the
canal light, and if she succeedswill- probably
remain at the Lake Superior end to assist
the Algona in -the conveyance of troops and
stores. -
The steamer Waatbutto will also leave on
Monday for the Sault.
COLLINGWOOD, May 16, ---At seven o'clock
this morning a detachtuent of 100 men of'
the Ontario Rifles, under the command of
Major Wainwright, commanding officer of
the right wing of the Battalion, embailtecl
on the Northern Railway at Toronto, to
join the two companies, which left Toronto
on Saturday, at Sault Ste. Marie, The de-
tachment consisted of Nos. 2 and 3 compa-
nies, and are officered by Capt. Smith, Limit
McBride, and Ensign Bigger, for No. 2
company; and Capt. Macklem, LieutaWal-
ker, and Ensign Peebles, Acting Adjutant
to the right wing lst Battalion, for No. 2
company. Surgeon Codd accompanied the
detachment in charge of the medical Acmes
for the expedition. •
No incident of any importauce transpired
during the journey till the troops arrived at
Ccillingweodt where they disembarked and
at once marched down to the wharf where
the ltrattbstno lay ready to receive) them.
The roll having been called, they were re-
lieved of their inapsacks and accoutrements
and assigned their quarters on the vessel.
Besides the troops, the Wattbuato carries
the following stores for the use of the expe-
dition ..-100 barrels of flour, 258 bags of
feed, 375 bags of oats, a large quantity of
pressed hay, 20 cases of preserved potatoes,
15 waggons, 9 yoke of cattle, with yokes
and chains, 2 beef cattle.
The medical stores consist of two hundred
cholera belts, 200 bandages, 2 field panniers,
two field companions, surgical instruments,
and hospital appliances. Immediately on
the arrival of the proopa at Sault Ste. Marie,
Surgeon Codd will issue a bandage snd
belt to each man in the .expedition, M ac-
cordance with the reeentl regulations issued
from the War Departmen'i
At three o'clock the bugle sounded the
fall M" call, the troops were marched
itbOarcl, and the vessel started a few minutes
afterwards. As the vessel steamed up the
bay, the men were in fine spirits, ancl.cheer-
ed in answer, to the crowd collected on the
wharf till they were out of heariug.

, GEoitemowx, May 10,
•
• People from. Red River express consider-
able indignation at the idea of Canada settl-
ing with the rebels;and granting the Bill
of Rights, while Biel is still unpunished.
Loyal men ate leaving the Settlement in all
directions. -
Last evening the steamer Intekational
arrived from Fort Garry, bringing With her
fine furs to the value of $200,000, the pro-
perty of the Hudson Bay Company, which,
With anothar lot from Fort Ellis, make an
aggregate of over $216,000, which they have
mucceeded in bringingj safely put of the
country.
• It is expected that Governor McTavish,
Dr. Cowan, and other Hudson Bay officials
will leave the Settlement by the steamer on
her next trip.
Since the conclusion of the agreement be-
tween Riel and tlae Cempany,. the Provis-
ionnl Government have stolen fi om the Com-
pany 30 horses, 558 bushels of barley, 1,000
bushels of wheat, the Government holding
the keys of the xtorehouses for one hundred
days.
has less than fifty men under arms,
and seems to be making no preparations for
the ,summer campaign. Ha and his party
keep themselves closely housed in Fort
Garry, anct are seldom seen out of doors, and
then only when accompanied by three or
fours guards.
Many think 'Biel intends to step out of
,the Territory, and be gone a week begere he
is Missed. -
The Indians in the Settlement and about
aire troublesome and restless. The Crees,
Chippewas; Sioux, and others are united in
the dislike of the Provisional Government
as trade does not thrive under its rule and
they are threatened with starvation. Be-
sides this, a general Indian outbreak is fear-
ed along the north-western frontier of Min-
nesota and Dakotah. •The Provisional Go-
vernment is said to be very unpopular even
with its former supporters. It only com-
mands the support of a section of the
half-breed population, and they are impa-
tient of anything like discipline or military
-restraint.
- Not more than half tthe settlers profess to
believe that Scott was killed, and it is deem-
ed treason to mention the subject.
O'Donohoe is still more generally- execra-
ted than Biel, as he is deenietl, if Tossible,
more shaineless. His last exploit was to
•steal money from a letter addressed to Mrs.
Mair, who is still in the Settlement. He
also wears Mrs. Schultz's gold watch.
The general impression is stroag that
B,iel will not fire a gun at the troops, but
get out of danger. He threatens to harrass
the troops on their way into the Settlement,
but even now he dare not go out in that
direction for fear of the Indians.

pellor Lewis Shickluna, having in tow the

PARLIAMENTARY,.
THURSDAY.
The Home Met to -day tomewhat earlier
than usual, and rapidly transacted one or
two formal matters of business. Hon, Mr.
Helton raised the question whether certain
clauses in the Manitoba Bill did not militia°
the confirmation of an Imperial Act, as they
exceeded in his opinion the powers confirm-
ed by the British North America Act. Sir
George E. Cartier said the Government had
not yet had time to consider how far an ap-
plication to the Imperial Parliament mitiht
be necessary, although it. appeared the Min-
ister efJustice had, leaned to the view that
such confirmation viight be required. Hon.
Mr. McDougall considered it certainly
would be necessary. and suggested that any
such legislation should be of a general char-
acter. rather than. specifically applicable to
the present cue, especially in view of the
probable creation of other Provinces be-
sides Manitoba to the North-West, At the
close of a conversation respecting the Ge-
ological Survey at the head of Lake Superi-
or, the House was summoned to the Bar of
the Senate to hear the
SPEECH OF THE GOVERNOR GENERAL.
After giving assent to the several meas-
ures passed during the Session,
His Excellency thanked the members of
theotwo 'Houses for their diligence and at-
tention to the business of the country. He
hoped that in the Banking and Bank Notes
Bills the financial interests of the country
were sufficiently protected. He spoke of
the Province of Manitoba Billas contain-
ing just and reasonable provisions, and fIS
being% calculated to remove any existing
misapprehensions, The military expedition
would "give confidence to all loyal and well
" dispose71,persons;" " the troops would go
i" forth on an errand of peace," and " NVP1Ild
serve as an assurance to the inhabitants
"of the Settlement and the Indian tribes
"that they have a place in the regard and.
cormsels of England, and ithly rely upon
"the impartial protection of the British
"Sceptre" His Excellency had observed
with satisfaction the precautions taken
to guard against any possible deficiency in
the public revenue. Alluding to the threat-
ened Fenian invasion and the suspension of
the Ha,peas- Corpus Act, the Governor-C4mi-
eral said the prompt response to his call
had chilled the hopes of the invaders, and
" averted the menaced outrage." Ar-
rangements, he went on to say, would be
made for taking the census on a given day
in 1871 throughout the -British North Am-
erican Provinces. He hoped the pleasures
for the protection of the fisheries would be.
effective, and said are would be taken to
protect the jnst claims of foreigners. The
assistance of the British Government in
that matter was mentioned as worthy of
gratitude, His Excellency had noticed in
the prevalent tone of the debate the satis-
faction felt with the existing form of gov-
ernment, and trusted that contentment
might be of long continuance.
His Excellency having retired the mem-
bers .dispersed, and then the session of 1870
came to an end.
