From recent letter in the New York Tribune by
a regular correspondent of that paper, who signs
himself 'Montmorenci," we extract the following.
At the commencement he is referring to Governor
vroom's delay in accepting the Berlin mission:

be able to obtain diplomatic appointment for

which the appointment was promised, without the
formality OF consultation with him. They are
such as cannot fail to satisfy the Governor that no
discourtesy was intended toward him.

in due time. II is also being surmised that Colonel
