Toronto, May 2.

Despatches from Middleton’s camp says Riel was captured and brought in yesterday evening to Clarke s Crossing.

It was ascertained that Riel and some of his followers, after leaving Batoche, made towards the river, intending to join those who had previcusly crossed over to the other side. The Northcote, with infantry and some of the 90th, went down, intend- ing to head them off.

A number of Major Boulten’s scouts meantime patrolled the river bauk.

Afier they had heard the whistle from the sreamer and some shots, @ party im- mediately went in direction the sound came from, and a couple of miles below Fisher's Crossing spied a party of rebels.

They challenged them aac in reply were fired at. The sccuts answered and thon made a da h

The rebel party quickly’ scattered, but Riel was recognized and at once became the object of attentiop.

He was in unted on a stalwart pony, and set off ata hard gallop. The scouts gave chase and finally overhauled the rebel leader, who surrendered without firing a shot, but not without threats. °

He was brought into camp laat evening, and taken direct to Middieten’s tent.

There was no demonstration, the General
