THE ATTEST on VICE CONSUL THOMPSON.

We alluded briefly yesterday to the late arrest by the
Cuban authorities of Mr.. Thompson an American vice
consul or commercial agent at Sagna la Grande. The

THE RELATION OF MINISTER AND SECRETARY OF
LEGATION.

In the letter Of the Baltimore Suns correspondent Ion
Of the Goth instant amongst series of gratutous and
founded assumptions the relations between President
Pierce Governor Marcy Mr. Sout and Mr. Perry the wr
says He (Mr Perry may, Mr. Soale in,imated
have acted "a spy but the proper function of
tay of legation is to be spy rather check npon the
minister That the theory of the Office but in practice
the office has become private elerkshp of the min
isters and of domestic of his household at least
iomesticated with him, without any weight influence
in the affairs of the legation This defence Of Mr. Perry
against the charge of being "a spy upon Mr. Soue strikes
being little calculated to add to the character of Mr.
Perry. The idea that Mr.. Perry, any other who
has any s,respect would occupy the odious relation
of spy watch the conduct of the head Of the legation
and hold private and confidential communications with
that Mr. Perry will have to be graft
fed by the suggestion The intmaton that Mr. Perry has
held such communications with the President and yet
that the President sustains him against Mr. Sou is with
any foundation The President could but regard
such reachery towards minister good ground for the
removal of secretary Of legation. 1t is part of the
duty of secretary of legation act spy check,
but he is the confidential secretary of the head of the ega
ton, and he could commit grosser breach OF duty
than beray the confidence reposed in him. If these be
g Ionn and Mr.. Perry have better defence than
that be IA spy Mr. Soue he will find few honora-
BILE men who will justify his conduct
