WASHINGTON, Nov. Z, 1859.
The vacant French mission occupies mach Of tho stsa-
ton Of our diplomatic and democratic circles here b
we'll known that the Hon. John sudeu han hcsels1so
been offered this post and could have IL he dessl
IL; but he prefers within striking distance e
tho Charleston Convention, and intends to have hand n
that game. Some Of tho vlrginans operating In be-
half Of Mr. Faulkner Who as the democratic candidate
for Congress in the Harpers Ferry district last spring.
Was defeated by Mr Boseier fold line whg); but ~
South Caroinans opposed 10 Faulkner, whose
record is not altogether sound "on the goose question:
illusions are frequently made here 70 two New YoslE
gentlemen among tho most available candidates fr
this beautiful post at Pars-Gensra Dix and Judge R4s
welt. General Dix had received the promise of ffos
poor Fierce, when tie yrgnisns nterposed the cry of
s'free soil )" and thus cut out Dix and slipped Mason.
Perhaps the objection from the quarter coua
be raised again the claims of General Dix were 70 10
seriously pressed With regard to Judge Roosevelt
eve the coast s clear For many years fast friend az
Mr. Buchanan and possessing all the requisite quaiif-
cations Of unsuied character learning political knew
ledge and the general respect OF the community which
he lives Judge Roosevelt would fn the mission in Que
ton with credit 10 himself and to tho government 10
be sure he recently set aside in the matter Of judi
cal nomination in your city by Tamnany Hail. but THE
will be rather advantage to him than otherwise with
Mr. Buchanan when is understood that for this Tam
many transaction such democratic federal Office holders
as Captain Rynders, Postmaster Fowler and Deacon
Herrick chiefly responsible
understood that Collector Sche and Surveyor Hart
warmly in favor of reelection Of Judge Roosevelt
to the Office he honorably fls but Deacon Her
rick who trial before tho Judge for peculaloa az
public money narrowly escaped conviction and Sanders,
Rynders Fowler, and such whose sympa,hies are with
the rowdy elements Of Tammany, wanted tho position
held by Roosevelt for more flexible All this,
when thoroughly examined by tho President will operats
in favor of the claims Of Judge r. to the dlsa-
guishcd post Of Minister to France.
Mr.. Preston is expected shortly to return from
Madrid, leaving that mission vacant Under thGs
idea, it is supposed that Mr.. Belmont viii 70
his application for the place. Blu. before doing
he should soften down the harsh and somewhat
abusive terms in which he disappointed candidate
has spoken of tho President within the last six months
Mr. Belmont should not have forgotten that he was really
indebted to the friendship of Mr. Buchanan for that Az
pontment, under PIERCE TO the Hague.
From the belhgerent shape which our Northwestern
boundary question is assuming, it is possible that Mr.
Dallas may receive his walking papers and thus ~
the meeting Of Congress- the three important missisns -
London Paris and Madrid may oil be vacant Meantius
the President keeps his counses concerning theB
things; and indeed he appears 10 too much absorbed
in the important work OF his annual Message to pay much
attention to any secondary affairs. lilo is In no hurry
TO I'LL these diplomatic vacancies. Tho various expccans
therefore, must wait little longer, perhaps till the nest-
Ing Of Congress-
