Our MINISTER'S MISUNDERSTANDING the i'm
portant items of news brought by the Africa, is
the announcement that Mr.. Henry Jackson, the
American Minister to Austria, "bas been pro
NOTED from simple charge to the rank OF nit
lister resident" The other day similar fact
was duly chronicled regarding an American
charge to one of the petty South American
governments. For fear Kossush or George
Sanders might be alarmed or indignant at the
idea that the United States have made this change
IN Mr.. Jacksons position out of regard to Aus
tria, we deem it proper to state that at the last
session of Congress clause was inserted in the
Civil and Diplomatic Appropriation bill, abolish
ing the grade Of charge d 'affaires and substitu
ting therefor, in every instance that of "minis-
ter resident" without, however, any increase
of salary. This change was made so as to enable
all our representatives abroad to present their
credentials to and hold direct intercourse with
the head Of the government rear which they
were resident, instead of, as in the case of
charge d'affaires, being officially recognised only
by the Minister Of Foreign Relations.

Mr. SouIE IN MORE TRouBLE-Our Minister
at Madrid seems likely to make himself remem-
bered there. The letter which he addressed to
the editor of the Diario Espanol on the eve OF
his departure from Madrid has already been
republished in most of our journals from the
Mesager de Bayonne, in which it some how
found its way just as M. Soule was crossing
the frontier: we now give the reply Of the
editor of the Diario at full length. - The public
will form their own opinion upon the contro-
versy. One point is clear: the Spaniard -
decidedly the advantage in point of argument
GOODNESS and courtesy. What may have been
the nature of NJ. Soule's relations with the
Madrid insurgents we have yet to learn: but it
is quite clear that he who to achieve any USE
full purpose for his country, ought to have
contrived to render himself as popular as he
could, has, on the contrary, wounded the sus-
ceptibility Of the Spanish people, and wound up
by rendering himself SO unpopular that he felt
it best to leave Madrid. In every particular
our predictions respecting the issue of M.
Soule's mission to Spain seem likely to be con-
firmed We wanted an ambassador there, we
have sent matador.
