In the tirst place, Mr. Davis, although ..led in this court ldr high treason, is not now, and Las been, in the castody ol tliis court, but is j l.r the United States government as a State pi'irV At Fortress Monroe, under an order of the •;ic t signed by the Secretary of War.

Neither this court nor l its officers have an y present control over the ju ot Mr. Davis, and until they have, it becomes *to»ible for the District Attorney to say when he be tried; but I assure the gentlemen who repre- Mr. Davis here that the moment he comes into ustodj of tins court they shall have full and apt notice when it is intended to try him. So far .-District Attorney and his associates arc cou- liit-y may ieel assured that their case will have ii i sjxtedy trial, without further barrier, let or jvc. ihis I say for the special department of it which I represent.

St. Albans, June 6, 1866.—General Sweeny lisa ordered sn ndrancti- Gen. Mshan commands th. movement. Hem. Spear brings up the support .And Col. Httrpliy goes to the front., * There ie a strung feeling of sympathy between the United States regular troops and the Fenians, and It cannot he disguised. General Sweeny has issued an official order, Secretary of War of L B. B., promoting Colonel John O’NeiU to be brigadier general and breveting Other officers. » British accounts state thak there are five thousand Fenians between Newport-and Malone. They will probably move forward. The grand movement contemplated here baa proba bly commenced in earnest. On the road between here and East Highgate, as well as to Franklin, there were Fenians and supply wagons passing up this afternoon, and the Fenians wiil soon be supplied with arms and ammunition, and will make some effective show in Canada. This evening one hundred and fifty Fenians arrived from the South, and are now in town. They will probably be marched oil' early to-morrow morn ing—if not during the tfight. Five cases of arms and ammunition, principally ; composed of the latter, were seized by the United SodeB authorities at Essex Junction, twenty miles south of this place, this evening, and taken from the train from Boston. There will be no stay in General S weeny’s onward movements. The Fenians at East Highgate, eight miles north from this point, broke camp this noon, and marched off on the road in the direction of Franklin, wiiqdi is situated about two miles and a half from the Canadian border. The advance was headed by Col. Michael Scanl&n and Colonel Conley, closely followed by Col. O’Connor and his regiment. Gen. Mahan and Chief Engineer Tricilian, and Quar termaster General Van Brunt, of Sweeny’s staff, left here shortly before twelve o’clock, and arrived at East Highgate about two o’clock. Here they found that one compauy had staid behind, and had voted to return to St. Albans. Gen. Mahan immediately had them formed in line, and made a short address, calling on them to turn and march to the border now that they were so near the line. Some few may have be come disheartened, but the mass are ready for an on ward movement. MONTREAL THE OBJECTIVE POINT—AN ATTACK MOMEN TARILY EXPECTED. Franklin, June 6,1866.—The Fenians are moving in force. Some troops have gone beyond this place. The objective point is Montreal. The Fenians, about two thousand strong, wili make a reconnoissance to-night in Canada, pick out a place for camping on the other side of the line, intrench and have the men come up. They are to gather supplies and forage upon the enemy, after which they will move. An attack will undoubtedly bo made about daybreak. THE POINT OF ATTACK. St. Armand’s Canada, June 6, 1866.—This place is on the line of the Mississquoi region, and the Fenian troops are lying directly in front, being stationed at Fairfield, St. Albans, Highgate and Swanton. It seems to be well understood hero that a movement will be made upon this section, as the country aronnd affords such templing inducements for an army short of horses, forage and provisions. The militarj* authorities here received an inkling of the intentions of the Fenians, aud to insure them selves against surprise quietly felt back on St. Johns. The whole country is therefore open, aud free froifi military opposition. We hear that General Sweiiey is maneuvering along the border in this direction, and we are every moment expecting to see a body of Fe nian footmen crossing the liu \ and wheu once aoross many of them will no doubt soon be Transformed iuto cavalry. Captain Carter, of the Sixteenth regiment of British regulars, has charge ol the troops at St. Johns. Ht has about five hundred men, and a battery of Arm strong guns under Captain Balfour. The Americans have all left for the States, and the Canadians are considerably exercised over the antici pated attack. They blame the military for leaving them to the mercy of the Fenians aud are severe on the authorities for not providing a stronger force for their protection. THE FEITIANB REPORTED CROSSING AT EDWARDSBUBG^ Kingston, June 6, 1866.—The special dispatch from Prescott to Ottawa states that two thousand seven hun dred Fenians are about to cross over to Edwardsburg. SYMPATHY FOR THE FENIANS ALONG THE LINE. Camp aT East Highgate, Vt., Near the Line.— June 6, 1866.—The Fenians are well provided for by the inhabitants. Their arms were received in boxes aud opened at Highgate bridge. They are all orderly^ and are anxious to be lefl over the border, which is but a mile or two distant. In the towns of Frank lin, Sheldon, and in filet ull along th6 line, the sympa thy for the Fenians is universal. Donations not only of money, but of beeves, sheep, &c., are freely ten dered by the farmers. The St. Albans raiders, and the course of the British Governmenfwith regard to them, are not forgotten. A large number of American families in Canada have come over to this side. testis duty to visit men beld on board s scow State* steamer Mi- Niagara river, at a permit from the Mayor, ef arid treated with com " A.

So far Libby is notori ous on the score of humanity over the United Slates authorities, and the peuftif* Andcrsonville is a nearer approach to the condition of the men held as prisoners under theutarry banq^r freedom. The hold of the scow is a mass of fiUl), qpmposed of long accumulated dirt and vegetable matter* saturated with water and emitting a most offensive odor.

Diarrhoea is most prevalent. Typhoid fever and cholera must result in a few days if the Government of the United States do not take action in the matter.

It was supposed that they would be held until dispatches should arrive from England, and it is said the English Government well tax the United States author!lies stringently for their conduct in the mat ter. Cornwall seems to be the point of greatest interest. Two gunboats have arrived there, and are patrol*iug the river. Montreal, June 6, 1866.—The greatest indignation is expressed here and elsewhere on learning the report to-day that the prisoners held on board the Michigan had been released on parole. The Provincial Parliament meets on Friday, for the first time, at Ottawa, and, in face of a formidable ill vasion, its first action will be to suspend the habeas corpus. The cry of every Canadian now is to instantly hang every prisoner held or hereafter captured. General Sweeny is at St. Albans to-day, aud within the last four days from three to four thousand of his adherents have arrived in that viciuily, and an attack is momentarily looked for. Last night from lour to five hundred well armed Fenians stopped the train a short distance before reaching St. Albuns. Heavy encampments of Fenians are scattered east and west of the head of Lake Champlain, bordering on the provincial line. A large number of strangers, whose movements have been noticed for several days in this city, are leaving by every train, in view of the probable suspen sion ot the habeas coipus. ANOTHER BATTLE—THE QUEEN'S OWN RIFLES, of TO RONTO, AND THE TENTH URIITSH REGULARS MISTAKE EACH OTHER FOR FENIANS AND HAVE A FIGHT. Buffalo, June 6,2:20 p. m.—A Fenian officer, while examining the camp ground at Fort Erie, was arrested yesterday at five p. in. Through the kindness ot a British Colonel, from St. Cetheriues, he was released this morning. He reports that at one o’clock this morning the entire force stationed at Fort Erie was called out on hearing the picket stationed on the gar rison road near the w oods firing at what he supposed to be a body of Fenians. The Queen’s Own was the first regiment on the grouud, when Muj. Gilmore or dered bayonets fixed to receive the enemy’. The Tenth Royals were the next, and through some misunder standing a cross-fire was the order of the night between the Tenth Royals aud the Queen’s Own. The officer could not learn how many were wounded on either side. The field officers of the Tenth Royals are now under arrest until the affair can be inquired into. HET HABEAS CORPUS WRIT—MEN AND OFFICERS DI8‘ CHARGED. Buffalo, June 6. 2 p. m.—The Fenian officers held as prisoners on board the United States steamer Michi gan were brought besore Judge Clinton this morning at ten o’clock. The court was densely crowded with people eager to catch a sight of the men who led the vanguard of the' Irish army in Canada. The prisoners were guarded by Company A, Fourtif regular infantry. The writ ol habeas corpus was dismissed after the reading of an order from the Attorney-General, re leasing the officers on bail in the sum of five hundred dollars each. The men are discharged on their own recognizances to appear wheu warned by the United States. Sixty of the privates were released last night on those conditions; the balauee of them are to be re leased during the day. The Fenians in the city at presents umber over two thousand five hundred. They are poorly supplied with arms, but are organizing and aw’aiting the oniers of Gen. Sweeny. The leaders feel confident of being able to procure sufficient ammunition when they need it.

Yesterday the excitement in the city was at its high* ust point. Colonel Kerrigan enlisted fully two thou’ sand meu, and enrolling went on iu the city nearly a 1 every point. About fourteen hundred meu left th e city. A Mr. Powers handed.in a box containing on e thousand two hundred dollars in gold, and is leaving himself to-day. He stated it was the price of a hard life of toil, and thanked God ho had it to give for the cause. Nor was it anything abated when it was under stood that a warrant for the apprehension of W. R. Roberls was iu the hands of the Aiarslial. The circular of Attorney General Speed, directing the apprehension of all prominent and leading Fe nians, has caused much excitement in Fenian circles. In the course of yesterday an affidavit was sworn be fore Commissioner Betts, to the effect that Colonel Roberts, of the Fenian Brotherhood, was engaged in violating the neutrality laws of the United States. The affidavit formed the ground for issuing of a war rant for the apprehension of Colonel Roberts, This warrant was issued from the office of tho District At torney. The section of the neutrality law, 20th April, 1818, which Colonel Roberts is charged with having violated, is as follows: If any person shall, within tlie territory or jurisdic tion of the United States, begin or set on foot, i>rovide or prepare the means for any military expedition or enterprise, to be carried on from thence against the territory or dominions of any foreign priuce or State, or of auy colony, district or people with whom the United Stats are at peace, eaery person so offending shail be deemed guilty of a high misdemeanor, and shall be fined not exceeding three thousand dollars and imprisoned not more than three years. The warrant was immediately placed iu the hands of deputy marshals, who proceeded to arrest Colonel Roberts, but up to six o’clock last evening he had not been taken into custody. The following address was issued by W. R Roberts, President of the Fenian Brotherhood, yesterday: Headquarters Fenian Brotherhood, New York, June 6, 1866. To the Fenian Brotherhood and my Countrymen: Brothers and Friends—Iu the hours of doubt and uncertainty I appealed to you to be brave of heart and fit m of purpose when cowards quailed and doubters sneered. You preserved and hoped on when imbe cility and dishonesty placed the cup of shame and bit terness to your lips, and you were compelled to drain it to the dregs. You still worked and triumphed over covert and open foes, as well as difficulties that would have made men succumb in a less holy cause than ours. Itis the cause of oppressed Ireland, ot humanity, jus tice, liberty—aye. ot DieXiity itself—and it cannot per ish unless we are false to all’the nobler attributes which exalt the man above the brute, aud the possession of humanity, which elevates him to the highest dignity of creation. No! my countrymen. It cannot perish; it cannot fall; it will succeed and triumph—yes, even in our own time—by our own efforts, and at the ex pense of our fortunes and our blood, if necessary. The concentrated wrongs of centuries are in our hearts and give strength to the passions for instant freedom which neither time nor obstacles can quench. The calumny and enmity of cowards, though born beneath the banner of republican freedom, become the lyiffg tools of English despotism, cannot retard us in our onward march to smite the detestable foe of liberty. England fought Jhis republic with cannon, ships, guns and bullets. She destroyed our mercantile marine. She maligned our motives. She falsified our record. She rent the Union and drenched our laud iu blood. She libelled America aud Americans in her House of Lords, aud scoffed at them in her Parliament, and, to c ip the climax of her infamy, nurtured a conspiracy beneath her flag for the assassination of the elected head of our republic. And when the martyred pa triot’s corpse was borne through a land draped iu morning, the lamentations of a great nation were blended with indignation and revenge. How base then is the trj< k lug spirit that can for g« t these injuries, these crimes, auu place tlie last great hopes of a race beneath tbe feet of a tyrant who wiil feel less greatful for the service than exultant at his power to inspire fear where he knows there can be no love. And yet I am as sure as that I live, leav ing out a few bigots aud mercenary tricksters, the great body of Americau bom citizens despise Eng land and her power, and appeal, as some great Ameri can statesman to have higher laws th in those which, according to England’s'own interpretation, are obsolete and unjust. Aud she certainly cannot claim a differ ent one in her favor from those which she so success fully practised for the beneflt of herself and the in jury of America. But, uo matter, fellow-countryman, what may happen, how many obstacles we jnay have to encounter, how many of us may fall.or jArish, our cause shall triumph as sure as a just God lives and Irishmen and their descendants remain true to the genius aud valor for which our race have ever been conspicuous.
