THE NOMINATION OF PELIssIER.-The Paris CORES
pondent of the London Times says The Duke de
Malakoff was supposed to possess any partic-
ular taste talent for the science of diplomacy
But he is said to be of sense, and unlike his
predecessor, ST. Arnaud there is little of the theat-
rcal in his character. man of plain common sense
will be any day match for the mere professional
diplomatist. There is reason to suppose that he
will not be well received in England. The visit to
your country and frank intercourse with its people
will be of benefit to him, particularly if he is, as is
said, already disposed in your favor. If he shares
in the vulgar prejudces common in France about you
he will have an opportunity ofgetting rid ofthem.
He will meet in England with his old comrades of
the Crmea, and renew his acquaintance or friend
ship with them. He will find among those who gov
ern England men, who, whatever party they belong
to- look to their countrys welfare rather than their
own personal interests. Among her public minds
he will find honor, integrity and patriotism Among
her titled aristocracy he will discover no equvocal
Marquses, Counts and Barons-the aristocratic pos
tiche that swarm on the continent-but rather the
sterling grand seigneur, too proud to be vain-edu-
Gated, accomplished unaffected, generous, but not
osten tentatious-wealthy, but laborious patriotic,
brave, admirable in his very errors, and the
very antthesis of the charlatan. The Duke de NAL
akof will there find good society, and no doubt he
will profit by his opportunities. On the whole, the
choice is not considered bad If he is really
well disposed towards England he will, trust, re-
turn to France warmer friend to the alliance than
when he set out
