The special correspondent of the
New York Herald, telegraphng to
that paper, says:
Mr.. Belmont, the Austrian Con-
sui of your city, is candidate for
the Chargeship at Naples, and is
backed by many Of the leading men
throughout the Union, but the indica-
tons are that the Office is destined for
Governor Seymour, Of Connecticut.
General Shields has been a candi-
date for the Office of Minister to
Spain, which he desired on account of
his health, but it is understood that
Senator Soule will receive the appoint
ment. Gen. Shields will probably get
some other foreign appointment.
Mr.. Marshall, of California, has q
good chance of being appointed Com
missioner to China.
Ex-Secretary Buchanan, for Eng
land, and Hon. John Dix, for France,
are still spoken Of
Thomas N. Carr, formerly Consul at
Tangier, is q candidate for that con
sulate.
To-day, in reply to gentleman who
asked him how lie liked the air of
Washington, Gen. Pierce said, "a
don't know, for have not had the op-
tunity of getting a breath of fresh
air; have not even time to shavc,"
which was evident by looking at the
Presidents face.
At the cabinet councils held on Sat
urday evening and to-day, the Mos
quito affair was anxiously discussed.
cannot furnish You with the details, but
| have reason to believe there will be
no want of pluck. General Pierce
has declared that his administration
will, at oil events, be an effective one.
The government received telegraphc
message on Saturday from New Or
leans in reference TO this affair.
