AMERICAN PAPERS.

MONTREAL,` DEC. have Um' favor red
with Vermont Papers of the 2d instant, from whiCh
the principal articles of information-are 'given' in
this Paper. From the' paragyaphs.glen under tfie:
Windsor. and Ruthiad heads, it appears that the
Vermonters are calculating to have a winter cam
paign, and take Canada; " before the ice breaks
up." For this purpose. the Vermont Assembly
have passed an act to lirol:itle for. the raising of
two Brigades of Volunteels, tti serve till the first
day of May, next; unless sooner dischareed ; the
persons and property of the officers' and privates
of this corps are to be free from attachment of
execution from the time of their engagement till
thirty days after their discharg.• The pay of the
privates are to be made up by the State to the
sum of ten dollars per mouth, and to the officers
insure same proportion.
In addition to the foregoing, the Legiilature of
Vermont, in their extreme devotion to the War,
have gone beyond every power vested' in them by
the Constitution of their State, (as.: the regula-
tion of trade. is well known to be vested .in the
National LegiShiture, in war as well :is in peace),
and passed a law which appears to combine all the
virtues of their former Embargoes,
,Non-inter-
CnOrfle, and restrictions of War, of which the.
following is the substance . '
" That from and after the passing of this Act,
no person shall be allowed to pass through or
from this ;tate into the prnvioce of Lower Ca-
nada, under any shew, pretence, or ,pretext
whatever, without a permit. from the Governor,
or some person by him specially appointed for that
purpme. •AO if.any-person shall- presume or at-
tempt to pass from this State, into the said pro-
vince, or shall eimue' from the said province into
this State, Withmit a permit first' had and. ob-
tained as aforesaid, shall forfeit and pay to the
treasurer of this State a sauna not exceeding 1000
dollars, and shall Moreover be sentenced to hard
lahnin in the StAte's prison, a term not exceeding
seven years, or either Or both of said punish-
ments,• as the Court, in their discretion, shall
proper. PrOvided nothing hi this section con-
tained shall subject to any pains:and penalties any
person coining from, said province into this ate,
and going directly to the. nearest person authoris-
ed to give such permit, and going to make appli-
cation for the same : ,

",1f any persons shall be driving any horses or
cattle, or conveying any property towards the pro-
, vince of Lower Canada, under such circumstances,
as tend to create er reasonable suspicion that the
same is about to be driven, or transported into
said province, every person so offending shtdl be
liable to be apprehended without a warrant, and
then by virtue thereof he brought before any Jus-
tice of the Peace in the country where such appre-
hension may be made, whose dati it shall be, on
sufficient evidence of the eixcamstanee. aforesaid
to require of such offender a recognizance to the
State's treasurer with sufficient sureties. Anil on
failure to give such recognizance, v,ich person
may be imprisoned until a compliance such
sentence."

As'every person hi this country is willing. Ver-
mont should do as she pleases at iyome, one ob-
servation upon this act is sufliciente---If an indi-
vidual State has a right to prohibit intercourse
with an .foreign power, they have tlie ),:.(111C right
to pelluit it, as curtain. ,
