The danger is, however, diminishing. Canada does not come within
the scope of the Monroe doctrine, which, as we have often shown, does not mean America for the United States, but America for its inhabitants, uncontrolled by forcible intervention from Europe. There must therefore be a cause of quarrel, and Lord Monck and his Cabinet are doing their best to soothe away bitter- nesses. The principal " Vermont raider" has been given up, and on the 1st inst. Mr. J. A. Macdonald introduced a Bill enabling the Governor-General to expel any alien for plotting against the United States Government by order in the Canada Gazette, to arrest him if he disobeys, or if necessary to inflict twelve months' imprisonment. The right of habeas corpus is suspended so far as that alien is concerned, except when actually imprisoned.
