The Americans residing in Paris are much
complaining of the neglect of the cabinet of
Washington for the delay in sending new
| minister to Paris, to replace Mr.. Rives The
interests of the citizens of the Union are so
| much neg scted at the legation that the nomi-
| nation of new minister and secretary of lega-
| ton is expected with the utmost anxiety. The
selection .of General Dix, had been reported
as well as that of Mr.. Van Buren, But now
| that these two gentlemen are en- SMspeass the
| anxiety has been renewed It is universally
hoped that General Pierce will soon relieve
his countrymen abroad
We clip the foregoing from the New
York Herald of July Sd. 1t is contained
in letter dated '.Paris, June &c." signed
'sB. H, R." And the American residents
in Paris are "beginning to complain, are
they!" and of neglect, too Poor fellows
how miserable they must feel from this
cruel neglect; how dreadful angry they
must be We can imagine how the white
kids have suffered; dozens upon dozens
have been split to shivers in their rage.
How each and every individuals nous
tathe must have quivered and curled in
patriotic Indignation How unhappy
their lovely pet poodles must have been,
| whilst their fierce and excited masters
have been out of humor, owing to their
''being neglected. by General Pierce.
Dreadful dreadful alarming
In sober seriousness, we have no plea
! cnra with these Yankee flpitiuas narua-
nues and snobs, who, if they scrape to-
gether little money in an honest way. or
in any other way, marrying, stealing, or
the like, are unhappy till they can alb
scond to Paris to swell and strut in spend
ing it. We have heard of some who, at
home,iwere employed in the very honor
able and respectable employment of shop
keeping, or tavern keeping, or shoe
making, or hating, or printing, or the
less creditable avocation of shaving notes,
who, on going to Europe, forthwith set
up for CT diuaat American gentlemen, gen
erals, congressman, and what nots, and
put on lofty airs and try to loom large.
There is congenial race of puppies, who,
though born in this land of republican
equality and liberty, are to be seen wan
dering over Europe, easily distinguished
by their apeing of foreign aristocratic
fashions and habits as far as they can
learn how. They generally assume to be
English and repudiate this country, un-
less they find it may be of advantage to
them to urge their citizenship. We are
against this whole tribe of whiskeranded
moustached, short-caned dilitanti, and
protest that oursforeign ministers andlcon-
suls are not appointed for the accommoda-
ton of such gentry, but to protect and
promote the substantial interests of the
country. They complain" because they
can, by toadying and dangling at the
skirts of a minister, now and then get ad-
mission to the imperial or noble soirees'
halls, and, perchance. dinner. Our min
listers ought to cut all these foreign "resi-
dents" who have fled their republican
country to live under monarchial rule.
Some yearsago, Mr.. Edward Livingston
refused to introduce one of them at Court,
and terrible hallabulloo was thereupon
made in the newspapers by the aggrieved
individual. We thought Mr.. Livingston
was right. We presume General Pierce
did not, in his inaugural, when abiding
to the American citizens that should be
protected, mean specially to refer to the
fugitive residents above described. For
ourselves, we think if they were we'll
whipped in every principality on the con-
tinent, and put in Jail about once week,
it would improve them by learning
them to appreciate their own country
and it's institutions little higher.
