of Lamartine. The present French min
lister, Monsieur Sartiges has recently fol-
lowed the example OF :. his illustrious pre-
decessor,"in marrying an American lady,
and has made his selection from highly
respectable and wealthy family of Boston.
This fixed fact entirely demolishes the
serious charges lately brought against
Monsieur Sartiges by Captain John Bar
ney, of Baltimore, in this, that the repre-
sentative of France had failed on several
occasions to show that marked politeness
and sense of gallantry to our American
ladies, which is so naturally expected of
every Frenchman. The sister of Madame
Sartiges has been lately espoused bv Sc

trimonial alliances between the diplomat
ic corps at Washington, past and present

still farther extended; but the prominent
cases we have cited are sufficient to es-
tabish our point in this instance, to wit:
that the cherished relations of amity
which have so long prevailed, and which
continue to exist between our country
and the other great nations of the earth,
are largely due to that balance of power
which American beauty has achieved in
the diplomatic circles at Washington"

Maryland and the Foreign Appointments.

There is much murmuring among the
Maryland Democracy on account Of the
manner in which they conceive themselves
to have been treated by the Executive, in
the dispensation of foreign appointments.
Thus far, Maryland has received only two
consular places. In allusion to this SUBJ
ject. the Maryland State Capitol Gazette
says:
"We hear, on all hands, the inquiry,
why has Maryland been overlooked in
the foreign appointments g and we must
confess that we are tired Of hearing this
asked, as we have no means of making a
reply. We can say to our friends. that
there is no good reason 1rhy maryland
should be orerlooked."
There can be no difficulty, we i'm
agine, in deciding between the preten-
sions of the several applicants from Mary
land, and therefore the failure, thus far,
to designate some one of them cannot be
attributable to such cause. There are
two or three simple rules Of deciding a
case Of this kind, and if we could be
heard at Washington, we should be
tempted to recommend them. Weshould
look to-l. Capacity, &c. .. Fidelity
to principles and candidates. 8. Rewards
hitherto enjoyed. 4. What the appli-
can't has accomplished for himself and
others. s Services rendered to the PAL
ty. 6. Popularity with the people.
"If all these things he looked into. a
chargeship will fall to a young Maryland
er of our acquaintance, as naturally and
as gracefully as honor ever fell upon one
to whom honor was richly due"
The Gazette refers, beyond doubt, to
James c. Marriott, Esq, of Baltimore, a
popular and talented gentleman, who
would creditably fill any position to which
he may aspire
