WixRiPBOi April 6. â€" ^AdTioes by mail frcmi EdmontoQ show that the half-breeds and Indians there are in an exoited state, and any r«bei success would likely cause them to rise. Factor Macdonald at Fort Qn'Appelie, says nothing is to be apprehended from the half- breeds or Indians in that vicinity. The Mc- Leod district seems to be all quit*t and friendly. Woubedesca, chief of the Minnesota Sioux near Brandon, is reported as being in a surly mood. He would not allow four of his band who were employed by the government to act as guides to go wost. He says two thousand soldiers are not enough to meet the Crees, who wiU probably all fight. Advices from the Hudson Bay Company Irom Prince Albert indicate that the town is well-protected from attact.but provisions are short. Further accounts of Dukfi Lake fight con- firm the repoit given by Gordon. The rebel were at first beaten off, but the pelice's am- uiiitiou gave out and the enemy rallied.when their fire did tlie most deadly work. One account says Chief Berdy. commenced the encounter, and was shot by a volunteer. But this is regarded as improbable. There is no authentic statement of the r§bel loss in the tight. The Queen's Own will not get in here un- til two o'clock in the morning. KIEL GKKATLT DISAPPOINIED. FoBT Qd'Appelle, N. W. T., Apiil 6-â€" From all we can gather here, Eiel is. greatly disappointed. He had expected a genelal moyement of half-breeds and Indians from the American frontier just below Wood Mountain, together with a general Indian uprising. Tnere is no doubt that the Indians in the northern country are with him, but the action of the American authorities has summiraly cut off h is hopes of assistance from the south of the Une. It is new gener- ally believed therefore, that while he may make a show of resistance at or near Clark's crossing he will not attempt to a stand-up fight with the troops. In all probability he will beat a treat across the North Saskatche- wan into the northern forest, and there Gen- eral Middleton must abandon pnrsnit. This- vast forest consists of beech, poplar, baich, and hazel, with dense underbrush and hoff- alo ;n°ass, and is utterly impassible for troops. The idea is that the rebel chief will remain in this shelter and endeavor to patch up terms with the Dominion Government, the prime condition being that they shall except the heads of his bill of rights. As the gov- ernment cannot, of conrse, treat with a rebel in arms, Bell wiU doublless be compelled to â- spend the summer in the forest, unless he «an glTe the troops the slip and get into American territMj, where .the lawyers will have to settle the qnestion of his extradic- BTerrthing is going on well. The weather is still raw and the grounds saturated with water. It is stated on good authority this afternoon that Biel will plant a large force on the Banks of the Sonth SackatdiewBn.

No fears, however, are fdt aa to the safety of thoae who. at last adncaa were en- sconced in the barricks, which axe stroni^ fortified and provisioned. There is considerable anxiety as to the aitoatian in Prince Albert. That an argent appeal for the immediate diapatch of a large force to the reaone baa been made is beyuul doabt, and relief was necessary is shewn by the sodden advance of the txoug» from Co' Appellei noxthward this morning.

April 6.â€" At 5 o'clock laat evening the men "got the rente," and at 7 thia morning the troopa marched oat of here along the trail to Tooeh wood, the enhabitanta turned oat to give them a aend off. Alter a haatybreakfast the the troopa were paraded at 6 a. m., and in- spected by General Middleton,wbo addressed aSfew atiring words to the men. A few finishing toactioa ware given, and at 7 sharp the advance was begun. The scoots led the way on each side of the trail then -came half a Company of the 90th, as advance guard, with one field piece theu the main body of the troops with the baggage, the other field piece bring up the rear. " A"and "B"-Battries arrived at Qu'Appelle station at 10 a. m. The former will push on atonce after the troops, while "B" will remain here until the arrival of the eastern reinforce- ments. A small portion of the Toronto brigade will hiirray after "A" and the Win nipeg troops, but the bnlk under Col. Otter will in connectien -with "B" battery, take the Saskatchewan from Medicine Hat or Swift Current, and go down the river to Clark's crossing, where Gen. Middleton's column â- will meet them. Clark's crossing is 85 iniles fri)m Battleford. The movement of this expidition, however, will depend al- together upon the state of the river and up on the boat service. The route of General Middletons headquarters will be as follows From Fort Qu'Appulle to Houghton 24| miles Houghton to Touchwood, same dis- tance. Touchwood to Bedson, 23 miles Bedson to Swinford, 20 miles Swiaford to Wise, 21 J miles Wise to Humbi:dt, 21 J miles Humbolt to Melgnnd, 22 miles Melgund to Middleton 20 miles Middleton to Clark's crossing, 18 miles Clark's cros- sing to Stobart, 35 miles â€" a total of 227 miles. Then to Prince albert. THE ADVANCE OK THE ENEMY. Camp, via Qu'Appelle, April 6. â€" ^We have made fifteen miles to-day. Cold and snowing. Complaints are made that there are not sufficient supplies for the present force now in the field. The batteries are expected to overtake us to-morrow, AT PORT ARTHUR. Port Arthur, April ti. â€" The Queen's Own passed through here about 6:30 this morning, making ia very brief stop, only enough to enable the engines to take on coal and water. The time of their expected arrival had been variously announced, and peopte went to and from the station at all hours of night to meet tham. When they appeared in the morning qtiite a crowd was there to give them a passmg cheer. A large supply of .Prince Al'oert and Winnipeg papers were here donated to .the troops, who eagerly devoured the news they contained. The condition of the men was generally excellent. No com- plaints wen heard, and the roughing they had gone through had no more serious effect than of somewhat disarranging their toilet. The Boyal Grenadiers leave Jackfish bay this morning, and are expected' along here to-morrow evening. nsi^x IN BBACBura wnfmsBO.

When the troops reach Touchwood the entire force will be consolidated for the march ac OSS the salt plains. The order of the march will be as follows Scouts thrown out about a mile each side of the road a half company as advance guard one field battery, the main body of troops, baggage, one gun, rear guard and when they halt ihey will be formed into a square, surrounded by the wagons, which may be called a zereoa. LOOES LIEE PETERING OUT. Winnipeg, April 6. â€" Private dispatches from the front this morning would indicate, a state of fear among Biel and his adherents at the immense mihtary preparations being made to subjugate him, and the ringleaders are reported as deserting the rebel's standard, being afraid of their necks. they're ots.

Tlia order of payment was this, that he was^ to give three notes of $72 each, payable m three, six and niue monthe. He then asked for long- er time on the uotes, which I agreed to give hi in.
