A winter campaign is apprehended, from the preparations reported from the enemy in Canada; and the supplies and materials for invasion are supposed to be obtained from the States, principally from Vermont, where it is said, too much facility is given by the legal measures adopted to discourage and prevent the detection and prevention of smuggling and traitorous intercourse. A new habeas corpus regulation has been enacted by the legislature--& it is stated, that the heroic patriot Com. Macdonough, on the day he partook of the public dinner at Burlington, was arrested and compelled to pay several thousand dollars. at the suit of the wretch from whom he seized the masts and spars on their way to the enemy's fleet--an act for which in any other country the gallant commodore would have been rewarded, & the traitorous villain hanged.
