Ottawa, C. W., August 17. by orders la
council, promulgated to-nv, arms nnd ammuni
tion will bo admitted into tl.e province tree of
duty tor the space ol one month from date.
Drills are constantly oractiscd now by tho
military companies, and the word of command
and mattial tramp ot orzanizert bodies of men
resound niclitlv throuah the forcpt capital.
Every preparation oossioie is bcina; made by
the authorities to repel the anticipated Fenian
onslaught upon Cauada. Troops are moving
towards the frontier Irom nearly all important,
points, and some batteries ot ar'tellery uro re
j.ortod to be on their way hither from England.
The Canadians count hirer ly upon the friendly
interference of the American (Jovernment if the
new prospective trouble becomes serious.
A gentleman who has passed throueb Malone
n his way to Canuda, reports a body of Fenians
lisseinbliucr near that point, Report placed
this force at five thousand men.
Business in Montreal is affected untavorably
by the tiulngs lroin toe border.
-Ammunition and military stores are being
acrumulated by the authorities at convenient
depots.
It is e xpected that if the Fenians deliver the
imT.'Pi:!ii) nlow ut all it will be done while the
Caiiiidiann are crtmaed in reaping their harvest,
and when it will, thereiorc, be more inconve
r.ient lor them than at any other season to oiler
resistance and assist the Uritlh regulats.

rxt Anxiety of the Canadian), Etc.
Btjffalo, August 11. There has been consi
derable excitement, both on this and the Cana
dian side ot the water, lor some days pa9t,
prowine out of the proposed Feuian picnic;
which has been extensively advertised to taks
place on Tuesday next, the lilsr instant. The
place oricinally designated as the rendezvous
tor these tesilvities was Crand I juml, distant
about tour miles below Fort Kriesuut the pro
gramme has been recently chanced, and Clinton
forest, which is a favorite place of resort tor
fiicnic parties, nas been chosen iuttean. The
atter place is a mile below Fort Krie, and is on
the American side.
The supposition is that the picnic will be a
most extensive affair, and the probable at
tendance is varioiifly estimated at between tive
and ten tbou-and peisons. A sham battle a
counterpart of the famous battle ot Limestone
Itidae will, it is said, be participated in by
veterau soldiers ot the organization. General
O'Neil and stall and the Ridireway oiliccrs, who
were captured bv the United States steamer
Michigan, will take part in the prorecdinG;s,
together with other prominent members of the
Fenian Brotherhood.
Extensive preparation have been made for
the atlair by the committee of arrangements,
which has occasioned much apprehension in
the minds ot the Kan ticks who, it appears,
entertain stroner tears on the subiect of another
raid into Canada. Whether their fears are to be
realized or not remains to be seen; but it is con
fidently asserted here among Fenian circles,
that there exists more than usual activity in the
organization, which is conducted with the
utmost secresy.
I -visited Fort Krie to-day, where a feeling of
uneasiness appears to e.vst upon the subject.

THE BRITISH FLEET ON THE LAKES.
From the Uoronto Leader, August 20.
Some persons are very industrious in circu
lating stories about the cieleuseless condition of
the lakes, which have no tort of truth in them.
When we remember that at the time of the last
Fenian raid there was not a eunboat on the lakes,
it is a matter lor congratulation as well as sur
prise that we now see seven boats of this char
acter upon these waters. They aie as follows:
Brttcmart, Lieutenant Allington, forty men and
two large Armstrong guns; Clwnib, Lieutenant
Huntlev. do.; Heron, , do.; lli'seue, Lieu
tenant Fairlie, lorty men, aud tvo Armstronas,
smaller size; Michigan, Lieutenant Heron, do. ;
.. .Anrfrete, Lieutenant Smith, forty men and
four held pieces; Royal, Lieutenant Boyco, do.
In addition to the present armament ot the
lteseue and Michigan, they will oon have two
more guns, one of which was landed in this city
yesterday by the Ueruiu
The Jiritomart, Cherub, llescue, and Michigan
will be engaged between Fort Erie and the
upper lakes, constantly on the move, aud ready
lor immediate service.
The Ileron, St AnOrew, and Rmjal, with
another boat, which is expected to arrive next
week, will be used on Lake Ontario and the
river St. Lawrence.
This is a respectable fleet, nnd w ill do pood
service shoulu a dastard enemy attempt to
invade the country.

Whereon, A war is existing in the Republic of
Me.'co, aceravated by loremn military tnter
vetition; and
Whereat, The United State, in accordance
with their settled habits and policy, are a ueutral
power in regard to the war which thus afllicts
the republic of Mexico; and
Whereas, It bas become known that one of the
belligerents in the said war, namely, the Prince
Maximilian, who asserts himself to be the Km
petorot Mexico, has issued a decree In regard
to tho port ot Matnnioras and other Mexican
ports which are in the occupation or possession
ot another of tbe said bellieerents, namely, the
United States of Mexico, which decree is in the
following words:
"The norts of Mntamoras, and all those of the
Northern frontier which have withdrawn from
their obedience to the Government, are closed to
foreign and coastinir traffic dtirina such time as the
laws ol the Kuipire shall not be therein reinstated.
Article 2. j.ercLaudio proceeding Irom the

and on satisfactory proof of contravention shall bo

"Our Minister of the Treasury Is charged with tbe
punctual execution of this decree.
"Given at Mex'co the Oth of July, 1886."
Andwliereae, The decree thus recited, by de
claring a belligerent blockade, unsupported by
competent military or naval lorce, is in viola

as defined by the law ot na'ions as well as of the

Now, theiefore, I, Andrew Johnson, President

will be held by the United States to be abso

Freedmen's Schools In Texas.
( HicAiio. August 17. A private despatch from
the Superintendent of Education under tho
Freedmcn's Bureau in Texas, saysr
At present any extension of our school system is
Impracticable. Tbe iomper of tho people is such
that schools can only be established iu those towns
iu wbicn are military posts, and the removal or tua
IrooDs necosfitaws the c oung of ho schools. I am
inoeod ol ihe opinion that were the troops with-
orawn from the Mulo not a ireeuinan s unour coma
remain tnrtv.. lirht hours. Every garrison post in
Texas is now, or soon will be, provided with a
tcnool tor liodn en, and their tmure depends en
tirely upon the increase r reduction ol tbe military
force, VV hat there is to be done with respect to our
army I know cot , w hat it must bo, if ins live ol
the freed people are to be maintained, no longer
admits ot qneition.

Congi ihhIoiihI Appropriations.
The iollofting are the pnucipa amounts appro
priated by the last Congress for tho set vices of the
Government, as appears by the note already pub
lished, which, it fs believed, comprise nearly a!l tho
appropriation act:
Legislative, cxecutivo.aud j.idlciul sorvico $25 112 iV,0

Tension? 15 440 IKS)
leewards .or capture of assassins ,. 10d,(WJ
Vanous acta lor deficiency 2 6)0,000
Total 122 005.307
This does not mclude the amounts necessary to
pay the bounties under tho recent bounty law, for
which no amount Is given, and there are numerous
other appropriations made to which no sums are
affixed. The Treasury variously estimates the
amount required under tho bounty act at from
860,000,000 to 200,000,000, and the other objoots, for
which no spcoiilc amounts are given, 1 at from
SICO.OOOto 6000,000. Amoujtthe ftoms on tho Civil
Appropriation bill is one directing tiio pay
ment out of the commutation rund arhing. from
the draft, which now amounts io about
S12,C0O,0C0, the sum ot for each slave
who eiihercnlfetod or was draltod into tho military
service, to be paid to tbe loyal ownors of tho
slaves. As these same owmirs recoived the S100
bounty when the slaves enlisted, they will be pretty
well compensated lo t'ibir loss. The bonolits of
the bill are confined to 'he slave States represented
in Congress siuro 18(34. The amount necessary to
make tbe payment will be about $10, 000, 000. J The
lioiinty bill does not seem to meet with much fayor
at the Treasury and War Departments.
fcTne Commissioners appointed by the Secretary of
War to make rules for tho payment of bounties, has
not yet concluded its work; but it is understood it
will make swindling the soldiers and those entitled
to tbe money by c'aim agents a very up-hill business,
The Secretary of W ar deserves crodit for his deter
mination to make this intended huge swindle as
small a one as possible. This Commission is now
discussing the feasibility ot a plan, recommended by
tho Paymaster General, for tbe souding. of payruas
tors into each Congressional district, there distribut
ing to each claimant the speoiflod bounty,
This proposition meets With warm opposition, as
the inability of evory soldier to oorrectly prepare
his record ot papers, and the necossary expense of
bringing two witnesses from a distance to testify
betoie the Paymaster, will lay the soldior liable to a
class of swindlers so numerous during the days or
substitutes. State agents are urging that the moneys
be collected hero, and that, as the totato records are
necessary to be searched in many cases, apodal pro
vision bs made in cases where they file papers in
dorsed by the official seal of thoir State,

Messrs. . attercu waito's circular says: " 6iuee
our last thore has been a fair amount ot business in
the London market lor American securities, but
prices have not been maintained, the successful
laying of the Atlantic telegraph induoing tho belief
that New York and London quotations must mora
nearly approximate, and as lately London prices
have been considerably higher than those ruling in
New York, it is clear that either we must experience
a further dco'.iue here or an advance must take
place on the other side,"
Three hundred of the leading railroads of tbo
United States, having 6232 miles of first-class road
in operation, cost, with all their equipments,
$495 899,029, or an average of tt0,236 per rmie.
l'uring the year 1866 tne gross earnings of thee
three hundred railroads wero 8169,194,687, or
$19,837 per mile about thirty per cont. on the cost
of the roads, Not quite two-thitds ot this

the roads during the year, so tht tLC,

This is eleven and ono-balt our cent, upon the

satisfactory to evory one. The result oi tho r.nsiness)
ot 1865 also proves the snbstantial value ot railroad
investments. During the year thirteen American,
