Gen, Middleton's Instructions. Fall of Fort Pitt Confirmed, >. Toxonro, April 21, messengers have arrived from Fort Pitt, | They bring a terrible story, though there} is still a gleam of hope that our fears may not be verified. They found the place | utterly wrecked and abandoned. An! Indian told them there had been a fight and two police were killed, and others in the fort had taken to the boats in the hope of reaching Battleford. They have been out tive days and should have been here long ago. It looks as if the whole party had been captured or killed from the river bank. The story of their escape is extremely improbable, asa it is not likely such a large party would be allowed to take tu the boats to escape. The Indians have started and threaten to take this place. Troops were promised for our relief three weeks ago, but none have as yet turned up. The riveris low. There is no sign of the Pitt party on the river. As no troops seem likely to arrive soon, Major Morris has begun to put a trench round the barracks for greater protection, WexnipeG, April 21. Gen. Middleton tc-day said his instrue- tions were to quell the insurrection and hang the murderers and responsible head- men, A despatch from Medicine Hat reports the Piegans and Bloods assuming a war- like attitude. There is no news from Riel’s camp. The Halifax battalion has arrived at Fort Arthur. The fall of Fort Pitt has been confirmed.

Lonpon, April 21. A Cabinet Council has been summoned for to-day, tu further consider the Afghan question. Earl Granville, in the House of Lords this p. m., stated that the Government had come to the conclusion that the position of affairs justified putting the whole of the army and navy and the whole of the artil- lery forces in a condition of immediate readiness for service if required. The Government has asked for a credit of £55,000,000 for the army and wavy ac- counts. Tagblatt announces Lonvon, April 21. Russia's explanation proves unsatisfac- tory to the Government. The House of Lords voted the war credit asked for. The excitement in London is intense. True Bills, Lonpon, April 21.

Clarke’s Crossing as his base of supplies for | strongly ‘ Supplies can be forwarded to | it both by the overland route and by the | Saskatchewan River.” MAJOR WALSH'S MISSION, _ Major Walsh, who for ten years had an important position in the Northwest mounted police force,and who has probably had more to do with the Canadian Indians | than any other man in the country, passed through Winuipeg on the 17th inst on his way toCalgary. He states that while the greater portion of many of the Indian tribes in the Northwest may be disposed to keep quiet, there are to be found in every tribe a number of young warriors who want to fight, and over whom the chiefs soon lose control when they once get on the warpath He believes that unless the uprising is crushed out before the grass be- gins to grow there will then be a general rising of the Indians, who could then sleep out on the plains with one blan- ket, but who are now kept by the cold about their camp fires. The professed loy- alty of Crowfoot, as expressed in his tele- gram to Sir John Macdonald, Major Walsh states, could be obtained from any chief for a plug of tobacco. This indication of loy- alty, he says, should not be regarded as a guarantee that Crowfoot will continue his allegiance to the government. The Major declines to state the object of his mission west. INSURGENTS DESIROUS FOR TREATY. The Toronto Mail's special of the 19th inst., from Clark’s crossing says: Riel is 40 miles north-west of us and all accounts agree that some of his men are deserting him, but saflicient force remains to make a stand. The insurgents are reported as desirous of making a treaty, but Gen. | Middleton will not listen to such proposals. A scout from Battleford reached Gen. | Middleton here and reported no immediate danger. The Indians have raided South Battleford, stolen all the stores and goods they wanted and burned a num-} ber of buildings. It is regarded as highly desirable that Fort Hill be relieved | as speedily as possible. So far as can be} seen now there is reason to believe the In- | diaus and half-breeds, wlll give the most | serious trouble to ail the expeditions. The latter are reported as naving used all the food they have stolen and are now living on their own beef. The boat has not yet leit Swift Current. The river is rising, but is still considered too low, especially at Moose Woods. Gen. Middleton naturally does not tell his plan of attack on Riel, since the iatter gains information with wondrous facility; but the general will! risk his men as little as possible and trust large- iy to artillery to punish the | rebels. The main settlement of the} half-breeds and the fortified church are | within good range of the nine pounder ; from the west side. Riel’s rifle pits are not | formidable, and he has not any artillery. | This is the latest report. To-morrow it| my be said he has guns. The troops keep | wonderfully well, and are continuing the | best marching on record under the circum- | stances. | A Battleford special says Little Pine and | band say they are going to the Missouri| River. Other bands also threaten to go if | things get too warm here. Scouts are out looking up the position of the Indians. Lieut. Morris sent two trusty scouts oy despatches to Fort Pitt. There has been | much difficulty in getting good men to face the danger of the route, it being entirely | through a hostile country. —- + i Ree A pretty English girl in Rome went} frequently into the streets unattended,con- | trary to the custom there. The young Romaus followed and annoyed her, until she invented a novel method of rebuffing them. She provided herself with a pocket- ful of centesimi, each the value of the fifth ofa half penny, and, whenever a man spoke to her, pretending to utterly mistake | his words, she gracefully extended her hand and dropped this fifth of a half penny in his hand, saying, in her broken Italian, ‘‘Hungry, are you, poor man? Well, take this and buy some bread.” DIED. At the Head of St. Peter’s Bay, on the 17th inst , Alida Caroline, eldest daughter of F. H. and Jane Sanderson, aged 18 years.
