Late accounts from New York mention, that a party of

fifteen or twenty armed Americans, belonging to Alburg in Vermont, had crossed the frontiers into Lower Canada, and, after turning the in- mates of several houses into the snow, had set fire to their dwellings and barns, and then escaped into their own country. Sir JOHN COLBORNE lost no time in demanding front the Governor of Ver- mont, that several of the party, who could be identified, should be delivered up to him.
