Confederate Commissioners.

corsespoEdence Of The New Ysrk Times
PARIs, July I2, Is6l-l announced to you two
! weeks ago that Mr.. Burlingsme had left Paris TO
20 to his post in Vienna and that he expected to be
received by the Emp error of Austria. A week later
| was surprised TO see in the American papers q
/ statement that Mr. Burlingame had been recalled
from Vienna and transferred to China, because the
i Emperor Of Austria would not receive him The
report was not at first believed here, because it
would have been an evident far pas in the Secreta
~ of State TO send recall which might arrive I'M
/ neaiately after the reception Of Mr.. BurlingsmP,
and thus place him under the necessity Of bidding
game has Just returned 20 Paris, and we have now
Sn explanation OF the whole matter. The Govern
ment at Washington, desrous of maintaining agree
able relations with all the European powers, saw
no necessity Of asking the Austrian Government 60
accept any man who was not entirely agreeable 10
them, and they. therefore, wrote TO Mr.. Burlin-
game telling him that if the letter should reach him
in time not to present himself at Vienna, but to
turn to Paris for further instructions Fortunately,
this letter of Mr.. Seward did catch Mr.. BHrlicgams
in Switzerland, on his way to Vienna, and he has
accordingly returned here.
No news has been received at Paris Of the move
ments OF Mr. Harry, Minister 10 Portugal The
disclosures in relation to this gentleman must have
reached Lisbon in advance of him, bat whether he
has assumed the duties of his Office not we have
not learned.
A Paris correspondent of the Independence Beige,
who has personal communications with the agents /
OF Lne OOutlern OOnieQerAcy. anu VINO seems uls
posed TO make the most of these relations says, in
the last number of that paper "Messrs Mann aud /
Yancey, agents of the Secession States of America
to England, and who are to visit from London the L
ether States of Europe will not commence the tour
until the Confederate States shall have been official
ly recognized by England and France" What
wonderful piece of intelligence, indeed!

This is partly due to the fact that Mr.. Butler King
bids inst the agents of the Northern States and
that the gents OF these States bid against each
other. The latter think Mr. King bids high only
because he does not expect 10 buy and hopes there
by to embarrass them.
Mr.. Spencer, the American Consul az Paris, com
plains at his abrupt suspension from Office suppos
ing that the removal was based upon reports against
his fidelity to the Union. This must be misappre-
hensiOn, since every one who knows Mr.. Spencer
knows that he is as good Union as
lives. We suspect that Mr.. Spencer WAS removed
because he was appointee of Mr.. Buchanan, and
because he held good desirable place, which was
sought after by many influential and competent
men who had rendered service TO the present Ad-
which Is reason enough. in al con-
science, as things are done nowadays.
But Mr. Spencers reno val was dated two days
after certain publication in the Tribune mputiny
to him unpariOtc sentiments because he refused to
allow his Office to be used place for holding a |
Union meeting. Mr. Spencer refused the use of lis
office for this purpose, because the instructisns to
all COnsuls contain peremptory prohibition to hat
effect and because to disObey this prohibition at
Paris particularly. would have brought him and
his Government in conflict whh the police He
admits, therefore, this much, but thinks It unk;nl
that his political and social position should be com
promised upon grounds such as these. We do not
maTiHe however, that It is sny sussieIon of want
Of patriotism which has inducc6 Mr.. s. removal
