FirrzEV Miles Bilow Baiochs, May 15.- Eiel was captured at noon to-day by thre« scouts named ArmBtrong, Diehl, and Howrie, ^ur miles north of Batoche. The scouts )iad gone out in the morning to scour the country, but there they separated from the main body, and just as they were coming out of the bush on an unfrequented trail leading to Batoche they espied Kiel with three companions. HE WAS UMABMED^ but the latter earned shotguns. All re- cognized Riel, and advancing toward him hailed him. They were then standing near a fence. No effort was made to escape, and after a brief conversation, on expressing theii surprise at finding him there^ Riel declared that he intended in givinj; himself up. His only fear was that he would be. SHOT BT THE TBOOPS, but was promised a safe escort to the General's quarters. His wife and cnildren were not with him, and he said they were on the west side of the river to avoid the main body of the scouts, Biel had taken to a coulee near by and hidden while Diehl went off to corral a horse for him, the scouts being seen ia the distance, At this time when Diehl returned Biel and his companions disappeared, evidently to avoid the other scouts. Diehl says Biel was NOT IN THE LEAST AGITATED when arrested, and was willingly made captive. He was assured of a fair tjial, which was all he seemed to want. He appears careworn and haggard. He has let his hair and beard grow long and is driassed in poorer fashion than the most of the Half-breeds captured. While talking to Middleton as could be SEEN FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE TENT his eyes rolled from side to side with the look of a hunted man. He is evidently most thoroughly frightened at the men in the camp, and in constant fear of violence at the hands of the soldiers, THE REBEL FORCE. The rebel force consisted of 350 Half-breeds, and 200 Indians. BEBBL MOBTALITT, Latest accounts placed the tctal killed of the rebels at 157. and many wounded. Over 100 Indians and breed rebels gavethemaelves up. and were unarmed by the forces, 31 SUPPLY TEAMS CAPTCBSD. 31 wagons and teamsters, with supplies frvim Swift Current to Battletord where captured by Poundmaker's Indians while within 13 miles of Battleford. 10 of the teamsters escaped while 21 is supposed to be taken prisoners by the Indians. One of the Mouated PoUce escorts were shot dead and another wounded. SUBBEMDEBED. Maxime Lepi^e gave himself up shortly after Eiel was, taken. Nearly all the prom- inent rebels are secured except Dumont. Gen. Middleton will join Col. Otter, when, (perhaps before now) thCy will advance upon Poundmaker's force. Ottaiva.

Ottawa, May 15. â€" In the House to-day, before the orders ©f the day were called, Mr. Gaion said â€" I desire read to the House a more lengthy report of the battle of Batoche which I receive from Qen. Middleton, irhich will be of tntwect. It is as follows :â€" AioM Baioche, N. w. X.. May 12. To the Hon A. P. Caron. Since my last evening dispatch to you I have ascertained some particulars of our \iotory, which whs most complete. I have myself counted twelve Half-breeds on the field, and we have four wounded Half-braeds in Hospital and two Sioux. Auioog the wounded H^-hreeds is one Amboise Jfubin, a ceuncyior, uai Joseph Delormtts.

The artillery and Gailing also assisted in the attack wi^h good effect. When all behaved 80 well it might appear invidious to mention particular names, still there are always some who, by good luck, are brought prominently before the eye of the commanding officer, and these names I shall submit to you later on. My staff GIVE MS EVBBT ASSISTANCE. Mid were most energetic and zelous. The medical arrangements, under Brigade Surgeon Orton, ware as usual, most ex- cellent and efficiently carried out. 1 have, to regret the death of three officers, as well as to soldiers but they died nobly and •r^II. I found no want of amunition among the enemy, or food, in spite of what has been said to the contrary, and we found large quantities »f powder and shot. Nearly the whole of the rebels famihes were left, and are encamped close to the riyer bank. THEY WEBE TEBBIBLT FRIGHTENED but I haye leassured them and protected them. There is a report that Gabriel Dumont is killed, but I do not beUeve it though I think it hkely he is wounded. One of the killed has been recognized as Donald Boss, one of the Council. Yerterday evening, just as the action was finished, the Northcote and a hard time of it, as the rebdj fired at it very heavJy, and though it was well fortified the rebels managed to wound two men slightly. The NORTHCOTE GOT ON A SHOAL for a short time but maaaged to keep the enemy off and to get off themselves. Finding that owing to barges alongside they could not go up stream again, they decided to run down to the Hudson Bay Crossing to get rid of them and return. At the Grossing they found the other steamer and came up together. This morning I sent out a letter addressed to Biel as follows â€" "Batoche, May 11th. â€" Mr. Biel â€" I am ready to receive you and your Council and to protect you until your case has been decided upon by the Dominion Government. (Signed), Feed Middleton, Major-G«neral, Commanding North-West Field Forces," SMASH OF THE BEBEL3 we have pretty well broken the back of the rebellion. At any rate it will. I trust have dispelled the idea that Half-breeds and Indians can withstand the attack of resolute whites properly led, and will tend to remove the unaccountable scare that seems to have entered into the minds of so many in the North-West as regards prowess and powers of fighting of the Indaans and Half breeds. There is not a sign of the enemy on either side of the river for miles. (Sined) FRED. MIDDLETON. ^mtBBp.txnABnm.

During four years of earnest labor for our spiritual welfare you have un- der God succeeded in building up and permanently estabhshiug one of the finest congregations in this county. Your unceasing efforts have been largely felt in organizing and promot- ing th? interests of this lodge and the literary club in connection With it to the numerical and financial success it has now attained whilst the unremit- ting perseverance with which you have sought to stamp out the very ap- pearance of evil and the assiduity with which you have advocated the princi- ples of loyalty to our British institu- tions, of loyalty to the church of Knox and Wishart, of loyalty and depend- ence on God, the giver of all, have en- deared yuu to your whole congrega* tion.

When we remember the patient zeal and energy with which you have laibored with us. When we look upon this handsome and oom- modious church which we hope will long stand as a memorial of your efv forts, We feel that no public recogni- tion of your services, however hearty or however unanimous, can be at all commensurate with the deep debt of gratitude we owe you.
