1t was mentioned in an article which we
published yesterday, taken from French
paper, that Lord Burghcrsh was preparing
to come to this country, as British minis
ter.-It is not improbable that this may be
an error. The appointment of Mr. Bagot
to that station has been officially announce d
in the Gazette. and it has been repeatedly
stated that he was preparing Co embark for
this country. Lord Burghersh has served
in several diplomatic stations. and when we
last heard of him. which was but fe w
months since, he filled the Office of Ambas-
sador Extraordinary at the Court of Tus-
