The Prtmer's distractions on Diplomatic Uniforms
The Paris correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette
furnishes important information Of how the Pre-
miers instructions on Diplomatic uniforms work
Mr.. Sanford, the Secretary Of Legation under Mr.
Rives Minister to France has been retained as
Charge dAfairs until the appointment of new
Minister Mr. Sandiord had not received instructions
from the Government TO carry out the orders contain
ed in Mr.. Marcy's circulars, because they had not
been sent to him. We suppose the Premier, like
good many others is in daily expectation that the
President will comply with his pledge to send Mr. Dix
10 the Court Of st. Cloud and has carefully filed the
instructions on Diplomatic uniforms along with Mr.
Dixs commission as Minister TO France But Mr.
Sanford had seen them in print, and he determined
TO carry out the views Of his Government on this
subject. SO he appears on State occasions in plain
citizens dress black dress coat white vest and crava
and black pantaloons, without sign Of decoration or
embroidery. Il created quite a sensation, on one
occasion the Turkish Minister, Omar Pascha, re
marked to Mr. Sanford that he appeared like black
crow in a crowd Of golden birds This is the only
instance Of which we have heard in which the Pre-
miers instructions on Diplomatic uniforms have been
carried out at foreign Court In this case it was
done by ono OF the appontccs under the late Admin
istration. We fear the plain citizen dress, after all
the instructions Of the Premier will seldom be worn
at foreign Courts 10y the newly appointed repre- ena.
tIyes OF our Government. However much they NAV
take among the "unsophistcatcd" at home, the u, "
apPointees appear to loose their fancy for ZEN so soon
as their commissions are issued and they have tax n
passage for their points of destination From H.,

OF diplomatic and col sular agents Just arrived thr,,
Of them, strong Democrats ani Just issuing from
under Mr. Marcy's new order, have brought u,itoru,
