The Steamship Acadia arrived at Liverpool on

adcgs Of the acqu:ttal of Mcleod, and the release
Of Col Grogan by the Canadian authorities. The
Mcleod news had been awaited with intense anx-
ety, and wa. received with lively satisfaction.
The conduct of Judge Gridley and Mr.. J. A Saen-

unsound-would be just as good in England as
here. The demand of the English JOURNALS is in
every view preposterous. Our Government and
People are nor fully responsible for any perverse

be made less mure SO. State sovereignty has
never been set up by our Government to parry the
