His Excellency the Chevalier Bunsen left London
last evening for Dover, en route to Berlin, whither he
has been called by the Prussian Government to take part
in its delihertitions on the great crisis now pending in
Germany. If, however, we may trust private letters
which- have reached us from Frankfort, it seems not un-
likely that the important post of President of the Council
and Minister for Foreign Affairs to the Provisional
Executive may be offered to his Excellency; and we are
sure frOm his great experience and profound knowledge
of the wants and wishes of England and Germany, that
the choice of the Archduke John could fall on no one
snore admirably qualified than the Chevalier Bunsen to
promote that good understanding between ourselves and
our German kinsmen so imperatively dictated by the
dearest interests of both countries. But should this in-
telligence front Frankfort prove correct, and should the
brilliant career of directing the foreign destinies of
forty-five millions of people be reserved for this emi-
nent statesman, we cannot forget that the departure of
the Chevalier Bunsen from London will leave a blank in.
English society not easily filled up. Many distin-
guished foreigners have at various periods held high di-
plomatic Stations in this country, and have left it fol-
lowed by the regret of their acquaintances; but no ono
to our knossledge has succeeded so thoroughly in secur-
ing the goodwill and heartfelt affection of those with
whom ho was brought in contact as Chevalier Bunsen.
Nor is it in the diplomatic world alone that his influ-
ence has been felt; at the same time that his house has
ever been open to his countrymen of all classes, towards
who'll he has exercised unbounded hospitality, it has
never been shut to any Englishman who could prove that
he hid a relay useful or scientific object in view. Many
such, to whom the Chevalier Bunsen's ever-ready as-
sistance and advice have been of inestimable advantage,
will hear the tidings of his departure with heartfelt sor-
row, and they will continue, as we do, to hope that his
absence from England may not be permanent, but that
he will speedily return either to resume his present im-
portant functions, or to exchange them for a higher
office, as the representative of the United German Em-
pire at the Court of St. James's.—Times.
