FOREIGNERS AT COURT.

-
Those on whom the duty devolves of counselling
her Majesty, cannot, at the present crisis, be too
careful as to the character—politically not less than
personally—of those foreigners who are admitted to
share the hospitalities of Buckingham Palace, Windsor
Castle, or Osborne House. A well-informed foreigner,
resident in London, writes to us on this subject as
follows :—"You are aware, of course, of Count
Mensdorff's staying with the Court at Balmoral and
formerly at the Isle of Wight, for you report it
yourself in the Court Circular ; but you may,
perhaps, not know that Count Alexander Mensdorff
is a distinguished Austrian general, and though not
at all educated for diplomacy, lie was very success-
fully employed by Austria in the Holstein affair, and
then sent to St. Petersburgh as ambassador. He
is now on leave for the sake of his health, which
he enjoys in England ! He is cousin to the
Queen, being the third son of Count Mensdorff by
the sister of the Duchess of Kent ; he is about thirty-
eight or forty years old, of very amiable and win-
ning character, and, though he is anadversary; I must
do him the justice to say that. he e is a perfect gentle-
man ; but so much morecinautten is wanted against his
