1t seems that the new French Minister
is not TO come out for some weeks, and il
may be months. Louis Napoleon has un-
bounded confidence in the ability and yea!
of the Washington Union, and is evident
~ disposed TO rely implicitly upon its ef-
forts in support of French pretensions,
and in chastising the American Govern
ment for having dared to resent the insults
and rebuke the annoyance of the late
French Minister. The French President
is evidently acting with his usual sagacity,
and we do not al all wonder THAT other
foreign powers are following his example
in this respect. The English Minister is
delaying his arrival. Russia is without a
Representative at Washington. The lead
ing monarchies Of the Old World, and es-
pecially the most absolute and DIES polic
among them, clearly perceive the utility
and expediency of intrusting their inter-
ests to the foreign organ already establish
ed at the seat of Government. The Union
advocates their several claims with Wig
or and energy which their own accredited
Ministers would not venture to display.
1t denounces Gen. Taylor and his Cabi-
net, for maintaining American rights and
American honor against their arrogance
and insolence, with spirit and in lam
gnags which they dare not use. They
understand perfectly that the Union will
go further in their behalf than any Min
lister whom they could send and they are,
therefore, quite willing that the missions
should remain vacant, so long as the
Washington Union remains at the Capital
to advocate their claims, fight their battles
against Its own country and do whatever
fldellty to them and hatred 10 the Ameri-
can Government may seem 10 exact.
The Foreign Organ at Washington, will
be glad to perceive that its efforts on be-
hall OF France and against its own Gov
ernnent, are fully appreciated abroad. 1t
cannot fail to rejoice at the manifest SINH
larity between its own views. as TO the
dismissal Of NJ. Ponssin, by Gen. TAYLOR,
and those Of the London Times. That
cordial enemy Of Republicanism de-
nounces Mr. Clayton in almost the identi-
cal language used by the Union, for the
"rndeness' and ''inciviliIy" with which
he treated the representative of Louis Ma
poleon. The following extract from the
Times. will strike American readers as
mainly reprint Of some one of the count
less diatribes which the Union has writ
ten upon the subject.

can Secretary of State, addressed directly
to the French Minister for Foreign Al

perhaps an excessive, desire TO smooth
