Bur what of the Austrian mission What Of
the cabinetl What of me Senate? What of the
strange policy of sending off foreign agent
just on the threshnli at rhr session IL is an
old custom 10 be- thankful tor small favors, but
a foreign mission is somrr hing to rejoice over;
something for which 10 thank ,iud and glorfy the
cabinet. In this pleasautrst Of all situations we
find Col. Webb He has got itat last. Never did
persevere faithfully for the secret Of per-
petusl motion, than our cotrrporary for foreign
missioD-a full foreign missioo-wth the sounding
title of Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Pleni-
potentary, and the substantial perqnlstes Of nine
thousand outfit and nine thousand year. Well,
he has got halt way To this dtsderatum, with
promise Of promotion; and IN his OVERLOOKING
gratitude TO the cahn-r, ne rurus round and va
liantly attacks everything within his reach, like
Don QuixOite in the d Tx As a most acceptable
service to Old lacks standing committee Of seven,
he enarges upon :" the bitter aud uncomprOmIsIDg

the question. The difficulty with England is fear
