a Washington Correspondent Of the
Baltimore Sun, says:
"It is now pretty well settled that the
Hon, William G. Rives will be Minister
to France, and Abbot Lawrence Minister
to England. Mr.. Rives is, no doubt,
well remembered in France; and Mr.. Law
renee is, by his ample private fortune,
well able to sustain our commercial in.
terests in England. These appointment
dispose, of course, Of the claims of Rob-
crt Winthrop and Daniel Webster in New

"The new Secretary of State has his
hands full. Not only are the continued
changes in Europe altering our relative
position in regard to European powers !;
but themselves are compelled to with
draw the extended hand of friendship to
sustain iselves at home. Thus our
treat 18th Hanover, Oldenbure and
Meckte-S0uFg Schwerin, made but year
ago, are on the point of becoming annul-
led; these powers having already given
the required notice to that effect. It
might have been foreseen that q political
change in Germany would compel these
pc rs to join the other German States,
politically and commercially, and that a
treaty with Germany, can only be made
with those powers who, like Prussia, rep
resent thom. Theunceremonious manner
with which the Prussiam Minister Baron
Roenue, has lately been treated in regard
to the steam ship United States, has not
smoothed the way toward better UNI
derstanding and has rather had an acid
flying diplomatic tendency. We have
laid too much stress on separate treaties
with the smaller German States, and
have neglected g treaty with the zollyer-
Elm.
'fThe different blockades of Venice,
Sicily, the German ports on the North
Sea, &c., may give rise to complicate
question, all of which will require an I'M
mediate solution at the hands Of Mr.. Clay
ton. The occupation Of the portion Of
the territory Of Nicaragua by Great Brit
ain, and the appeals which have been
made by that power to us, may also be
worthy of notice, Though the British pre-
tensions to California set forth in some Of
The English pttnts, are never intended to
acquire more than mere literary and
scientific reputation"
