Failing here they then turned their whole attention toward our French fellow Colonists, and wherever there was an opportunity and an ear to listen, the occasion was not lost to still them with an almost unconceivable tissue of misrepresentations and lies. The principal misrepresentations were concerning the Canadian System of Taxation; and among the most prominent lies was the assertion that the new government intended to immediately oust the French from their lands and homesteads.
Coming, as these assertions did, from men of some apparent consequence among us, it is little wonder that they found a number among the French who would believe them and proceed to act upon them. Believing as they do that their informers have told them the truth from motives of friendship and good will, these men have very naturally determined to resist any such encroachment upon their rights. Without inquiring as to the truth of falsehood of what has been told them some considerable excitement began to manifest itself among them ever since the news of the bargain and sale of the Company rights reached us.
Reports of various kinds have been flying about as to their intentions in the matter, but as many of them seemed to incredible for belief, we awaited quietly to see what the termination would be; relying upon their innate good sense when they should calmly think the matter over. Week before last they dispatched a couple of agents among the English-speaking portion of our people who live upon the Red River below this place. We were down immediately after, and found that they had not met with a single sympathizer along the whole line of their peregrinations. A flying rumour then began to prevail that the French intended to stop Gov.
McDougall whilst en route to the Settlement from Pembina and to prevent him from coming in at all, unless indeed he would accede to a long list of demands, the most of which are too preposterous to entertain, and many of which he will not have the power to grant. This report, apparently of so serious an aspect, created little excitement, inasmuch that it was not credited. But intelligence of an unmistakable character reached this place on Friday last. On that day information was laid before the authorities, and sworn to in the form of an affidavit, that the French were already in arms upon the road between Stinking River and Pembina.
That such of them as took an active part in the uprising were adopting every precaution to intercept Mr. McDougall on his way in. They were fully organised and were sufficiently under military discipline to throw out scouts upon all the approaches to the Settlement from the South; and to post pickets and sentries at night.
These fellows had billeted themselves upon the inhabitants at their various places of rendezvous. They were divided into three parties of about twenty or thirty in each. Satisfaction of the Riel Legislature with the Manitobah Bill.

Paul say that on the 23rd ult. Richot reported the result of his mission to Canada; it was then unanimously resolved -- "That the Manitobah Act should be accepted as satisfactory, and that the country should enter the Dominion on the terms specified in the Manitobah and Confederation Acts. Paul last night. He says the Manitobah Bill was received with much satisfaction by Riel and the people; that there is no foundation for the report that Riel was raising a force to attack the expedition, and that all the people desire to see the troops at Fort Garry to insure security and protection.
He said that no danger was anticipated from the Indians, but there was a feeling of uneasiness among the settlers.

He does not think the expedition can reach Fort Garry until September. There are twenty-six portages between Fort William and the Lake of the Woods, and the swamps make traveling very bad, and it will be necessary for the soldiers to rebuild roads as they come along. He does not think that artillery can be taken across the country. He will welcome the new Governor, turn over the Government to him, and retire into private life. He is satisfied with the expedition now on its way west because it is under much more honorable auspices than was Macdougall's arrival as governor of the people of the North West.
Paul yesterday for Ottawa. The object of his mission is not known, but it is supposed he goes to show the Dominion Government the uselessness of sending a Canadian expedition of the magnitude of the present one through to Fort Garry and to procure a pardon for Riel.

John on Monday, at A. A number of ladies, also from the neighboring villas, lent an air of refinement to the scene, where the Anna Augusta lay along side of the wharf with steam up to convey us down the Kennebeccasis and up the St. John to Fredericton. About 10 the boat started, while the crowd on the wharf gave three times three for our guests, which was returned by the party on board by a hearty answering cheer. As we steamed along the shore and past the mouth of the Milkish, the beautiful scenery appeared to much advantage and was of course much admired. The Canadians, in fact, seem to be willing and anxious to admire all they see, and even the small portion of our Railway which they traversed came in for a share of praise.
I heard the opinion expressed by many that they had no where in America passed over so smooth a road.
Doubtless their lively recollections of the Grand Trunk helped them more to appreciate the superiority of our line. If we had been favored with the choosing of the weather we could not have made it more favorable for all the purposes of our trip than what we had on Monday. The sun was bright, but not too glaring - the heat gently softened by the summer breeze, and the fleecy clouds which hung in the sky above us seemed but the shadows of the glorious earth.
We soon left the Kennebeccasis behind us and turned into the St.
John -- the beautiful St. John -- the river of promise -- New Brunswick's richest artery. As we ran along the rugged banks which line the river for several miles, it is possible that some of the Canadians began to doubt the truth of what they had heard of the beauty and fertility of the land on the St.
John, but when after a time the lands along the river began to expand into intervale, and broad tracts of level meadow lined either side, their exclamations of surprise and admiration were frequent. They had no idea of the fertility of the Country, and had never believed that such land existed in British America anywhere out of Canada. Indeed the river seemed to have put on its best dress for the occasion, and never looked better.

The Band of the 15th Regt. A number of French Canadians enlivened the trip by singing French songs; and those who took an interest in the study of European history were delighted to hear the Marsellaise Hymn sing in the original French. I believe I am safe in saying that no National song, with the exception of our own Anthem, has ever possessed a power equal to this, and as we heard its strains we could not but think of the days in which the same words and music roused the people of Paris into phrenzy and begot in their minds that hatred of their rulers which deluged the finest city of Europe in blood for so many years.
Never merrier party went up the St. John than those on board the "Anna Augusta.

Beautiful fields, verdant meadows and luxuriantly wooded hills beyond, were ever and anon coming in view, and the Canadians never seemed to tire of the prospects so pleasantly placed before them. Wood boats and smaller craft passed us coming down the river with the wind well aft, and much surprise was expressed at the huge loads they carried.
As we got to the foot of the Long Reach we saw a steamer far ahead of us; we passed her before she was quite up to Oak Point, but instead of proving, as we supposed, the Indian Town boat, we found she was only the "Magnet," an old tug. She puffed and tried pretty hard to keep up to us, but it was no use -- we left her hopelessly behind. At Gagetown the Hon. Tilley, Pro. McPherson, Esq. Dow [ Carman, James Hogg, Jas. Beek and John Richards, Esquires, came on board.
They had come from Fredericton that morning for the purpose of meeting and welcoming the Canadians. At the Oromocto, we passed the "Heather Bell" with the Lieutenant Governor on board -- and had a long race with her. We also passed one of the Board of Works' steamers.

Not a very fast one, however, for she happened to be a dredging machine. She was at anchor and did not attempt a race with us, probably out of regard for the Board of Works who was on board of the "Anna Augusta. We reached Fredericton at 5. There was a great crowd to see us and a great rush to the Hotel. The Volunteer Artillery fired a salute.
The Fredericton people deserve much credit for the manner in which they got up their part of the entertainment for the Canadian visitors. When it is remembered that they had but a short time to prepare for their reception, and have not the same facilities at their command as St. John, the reception they gave them will not suffer in comparison with that of our own city.
Dinner was to have been ready at the Legislative Hall by 7. And here I may state in passing, that I heard several Canadian gentlemen praise the good taste the people of New Brunswick show in not going to the expense of erecting new Parliament buildings at present, and although I cannot see the matter exactly in that way, I give the expression here. At dinner the Mayor of the City acted as Chairman, supported on the right by the Hon.
Ferrier, and on the left by the Hon. D'Arcy McGee.
The Provincial Secretary presided at the foot of the table, having on his right L. Donaldson, Esq. Wier, from Halifax. After the clatter of the knives and forks had somewhat subsided, the Chairman rose and proposed the first toast -- The Queen -- Which was drunk with all the honors, with the Regimental band playing; after which Mr.
McAuley, from Quebec, sang "God Save the Queen" with great taste, the whole company joining in the chorus. The Prince of Wales and the Royal Family. The Governor General. The Lieutenant Governor -- Responded to by Mr. Tilley, who regretted that circumstances prevented the Governor from attending, as he had been desirous of doing.
