The news from California Western Mexico, Cen

excitement pervading that community relative to
the case of little girl lately In the family of Joseph
Goaidins, who, or whose wife, implicated in
the abduction of James Burt the boy, the circun-

now an interesting little girl some six or eight
years Of age and whom James taught to call

she was obtained was given to the neighbors.

The DIPLOMATIC CoRPs.-Ifit be true says the
Washington Globe, that " hosts of attaches to Amer
lean legations are travelling over Europe" it is in
consequence of an abuse that ought to be at once
efectnally and forever put an end to and to put
an end to it is entirely in the power of the govern
Elent here. Our Ministers abroad have no right to
invest Tom, Dick, and Harry with this temporary
travelling rank, thereby imposing persons on the
European public as belonging to the diplomatic
service Of the United States, who no more belong
to it Of right and legally, than they belong to the
diplomatic service of the Khan of Tartary Il is
very certain assume that these pseudo ATTACHES
are not appointed By the President and we are
greatly mistaken if any Minister, be his rank what
it may, has any authority to appoint them, for
which either law or legitimate usage can be found
If this abuse be persisted in, the consequence will
be, that our diplomatic corps win lose its standing
and responsibility abroad, which is a matter that
concerns us all-whigs, democrats, and neutrals.
