Ar. W. to have Minister to Frauee =.

II was announced under our telegraph head, yes.
terday, that it is rumorel now, the French Mission
hal been rendered TO Gen. CaSs and that response
has yet been received from him. VIII Gen. Cas-
take the post lie may, but doubt it very much
Ii there had been any probability Of his accepting
Il. We think it exceedingly doubtful whether it would
have ever beer rendered To him In that it has
been offered him he will surprise the Administration
very much should he accept; and no doubt the sur
prise will be by no means an agreeable one. Tie
Union men may be gratil.d over the agpoinment.--
Young America will have hard work to swallow il
though And the PreesOilcrS will not take it rery
lildiy. 1t would stir up some rather unpca-
sant "reminiscences between the Van Buren, and Cas-
Democrats. Then, there the claims Of Mr.. DiN
for the place. The idea of taking the promised IN
sion away from Mr.. Dix and giving it TO Gen Cas-,
will stir up mighty rumpus among the Old Line
FreespiI Democracy Of Is. 1t will he very hard for
them TO bear the disappointment in the most chara-
BILE spirit, at any rate and the substitution Of Gen.
Cass will make it We fear it would he bad
appointment for the hIr0,ogy Of the party Mr.. Dix
even, would give satisfaction to larger portion
Alter Gen. Cass has had the matter under co ,sijcr
atol and then declines it, lac is expected to do the
President will have gained little time u lay
his plans for carrying out his original purpose and for
redeeming his pledge. 1T j. not bad plan. The Old
Line Democracy will have been complimentcd 10y
the tender of the appointment to GeU. Gas and Il
will be expected Of them that they will be satisfied
then If Gen. Cass does decline. But will nobody
have the French Mission : Where is Gov. Cobb
Georgia, and Mr.. Cutting Of New York, AMI HAIRY
4 Wse AZ Virginia? Could not Of them be
induced to accept it, or has it been offered to
either Of them but held in reserve for Nc Dis after
all
IL is a most unfortunate state Of aliuirs that
alter the lapse Of more than six months, our presi-
dent eau find no one to go to France, at time when
it is so imp HtaBt that Government should have
Minister there. He has much trouble it seems in
filling this post as lac had in m1;ius up Cabinet.
We understand lac is greatly troubled oyci The mat.
ter-a for the want Of sufficient couroqe TO "tli.
ia, responsibility lie has our sincere syu.paNhy-
ia his troubles, but think 1t high tine the que
tion was scttl d whether are TO have Minister q
France, or MT, and lf 80, who lac is to TOO?
