TO TIE EDITOR or THE NEW YORK HERALD.
SiR--It is not my custom to obtrude personal
matters upon the public; have, nevertheless, TO
ask the favor of The insertion of this letter in your
columns.
Ii is announced, and probably by authority, in
the Washington correspondence of the Courier and
Eng.,irer of this morning, that have been recalled
from The position of charge d'affsirs of the United
States in Central America, to which was appointed
by Gen. Taylor, during the first month of his ad.
minsiration, and subsequently, confirmed by the
Senate. This announcement is the source of no
regret TO me- except in far ii may preclude the
further prosecution OF the scientific investigations
which commenced in Central America, and in so
far as il indicates reversal of the wise, patriotic
and truly American policy, which General Taylor
adopted in that country.

thies anticipated such reversal Immediately upon
his accession 10 office; and in eflecng it, he has
The undUubled right to select officers who will faith
fully represent his views In this respect, which
am happy TO say do not. IL only remains TO he
seen whether the Anglo Websierian policy will
meet the approval oil The American people.
