The late steamers from Europe bring
us intelligence OF the appointment oil
Lord Napier as British Minister at
Washington, and the London l"aeS
seems to think that the appointment Is
4 most unwise and inludicious one not
because Lord Napier has not seen d.
plomstic service, but because h' has
.cen too much Of it, in the Courts OF
dcspotic powers. lie has been ad'P'o-
mat at Vienna, Tchcran, Constant'no-
pie, Naples, and at st. Petersenrgh' all
Of which countries are governed by the
most despotic forms and systems adopt
ed among civilized nations. lie has
learned all that lac knows OF diploma
cy ut these Courts where Mach'ave'li
il more the standard of diplomatic art,
than the broad, open, honest system
adopted by free people who have
nothing to conceal, because the, intend
nothing that is not honorable and no
BILE. The Times thinks that no man is
tit for British Minister to this country
who has not risen to high eminencc as
= statesman in England, from humble
rank, aud who is fresh and full OF the
most enlarged ideas OF the end, work
ings, and glory Of Il Republican gov
crnment. II thinks that Lord Napier
is not the right man. He is too much
= shrewd old diplomatic sot, more AZ
customcd to the tricks and arts OF Eu-
ropean secret diplomacy, than to inter
course and sympathy with free Pco-
pic. Such man is more likely 10 en-
broil the two nations, than maintain
that friendly intercourse so essential TO
the vast commercial relations subsist
ing between England and the United
States.
The l'russo- dispute was likely
to be terminated by the Intervention Of
Louis Napoleon, who found the polu-
lar enthusiasm of his own subjects 50
strongly in favor Of sustaining the free
Republic Of the gallant Swiss, that it
endangered his own stability in France.
The Swiss were Aocking to their Al
pine homes from all parts OF Europe, to
defend the last citadel Of Liberty against
the foul and bloody tyrants of despot-
ism, and although nothing would SO
much please the perjured villain who
rules the French, Ms to see the lights OF
freedom cxtinguished upon the noun
tains Of Switzerland, he dare not per-
init Prussia to make the effort, well
knowing that every Democrat in Eu
rope would have done or said some
thing dangerous to the stability OF
thrones before the Swiss could have !
been entirely conquered.
The Federal Council have issued !
their ultimatum, to deliver up the Prus-
sian prisoner taken in Neufchatel, in
rebellion, upon condition that Prussia
will rsneancs forever, any right Of SOW
sssignty over that Canton. The ut
most snthusiasm prevailed among the
SwisA and . new levy ofl4,O0O troops !
