Ad visea veré received f roía the eommander &t Prince Albert on the 61h inst., stating that no attack had as yet been made on that place. The county is swarming with rebels and the force there is not able to cope with them. The eommander aivfcs fot troopa at once, and advises them as to the best route to take. Several large bands of American Indians have leít Montana and gone on the war path and are cow on the Canadian side, hurrying rapidly ncrthtard to joio iheCacadians Indiaas at Cdlgary and vicicity, and th.n proceed to Piiuoe Albert to join Btü. The infcrmation is confirmed by a dispatch Irom Fort McLeod, elxty miles north of the international boandary, near which the American Indiansnow are. Beyond a doubt, sa ys the dispatch, the Gros Ventres, South Figeons and Blood Indians have crossed the bouudar; and &re heading northwest. The Beuth Pigeous and Bloods have iormed an alliancs. Riel sent bis Indiana sometim ago to the (iros Yentres Iadians with presfents of tobáceo, which were acaepted, and then the Indians piedged themsclves to support Kiel, ho haslaid a deep conspiracy in which the Mük River Indians will play an important part. Á. dispa ca rom Winnipes of the lOth says: Word has jast been reoeived from Battleiord of the maesacte oí the white sattlers at Frog Lake, northwest of ort Pilt. on the 8th.

The wire betwesnat eford and Olarke's Crossing is apparently ot ent, bat has been lying on the ground, and a circuit was es tablished fora Bhorttime, llowing the message to come through. It s etated in the same message that Batiieford s urrounded by 1,000 Indiana, butno attaok has been made on the barracke. Indian Agent Kea has not been killed, as reported. The Hudson bay offloer has reoeived intelligtneo by way of Edmonton and Oalgarry that the Saddle Lake Indiana have raided the govemiaent warehoute at that point and gene to join the rebels.

That thjs massacre could have been the work of Frog Lake ndians alone does not sec m altojsther probable, as they have hitheito Been qniet and well behaved.
