Weed had returned to London, at last accounts,
and writes to the Albany Journal, under date of
Dec. 23d:
We are breathing with more freedom just

not in relation TO the Trent affair-being writ

Of the matter is strengthened further by the
knowledge that France has informed our Gov

bells on board neutral vessel, as indefensibe.
In view OF these circumstances, an influential
parsonage, with whom breakfasted yesterday,
sad, "You will escape this time, but your Gov

fresh cause Of complaint" Nobody here has
the slightest intimation OF what our Govern

petition, drawn by William Cullen Bryant, and
signed by himself and others in New York, gives
tie best condensed argument for the emancipa-
