BARON HUDSEH,
who. lile tho late hlr. Seward. interviewed the
biilado himself. Tho Baron has writton llla
entertaining narrative in the French
lAngnago,--a font which is extremely M
common In any ono not bred within
tho circle Of Paris His work 10 ontitlod " Promo-
uato Autom du Monde" Baron Hubner, 1t will
be remembered, represented Austria in Paris IN
1850, mud it was to him tint tho Emperor Na-
pOle0n I'D dressed the omlnOuB words which an-
nonnced tho campaign Of that year and the loss
of Lombardy to Austria. II is scarcely to b
diplonlatist Of tho " orst days Of Austrian mis-
r,lo shat wo can look fo- sensible criticisms upon
only too ready to listen to the talk Of silly
Americans who prate about tile uncertainty Ut
Tho futuro, and their desire for q military diota-
torship. ..........
appeared to Daron Hubuer to DO so years old,
though le il roally 81. His features bear tho
marks Of tho Japanose rnce,--a broad
aud rather Hat nose, q sallow complexion,
blue t,1t,ic, al,nos. Of slate color,
md very full scarlet troweors. On
Aia lead was au enormous aigretto composed Of
bamboo aud horsehair. ~ am told, l,o said to
tho Austrian diplomatiBt, "that you havo sus-
tniuel in your owl, country the burden OF high
Office md have several tinos fillod tho post Of
Ambassador to great StntcB. 1 cannot exactly
figure to myself the nature Of your employment.
II, within the range OF your experience, tllore e
n,,ythng that it would DO useful for mo to know,
W 6og e you to communicates It without reserve to
my confidential hdviaorH." When tho Emperor
was speaking, ile turned towards his visitors and
looked them full in tho face, and his features at

resumed uerious and unmeaning look. 1t is =
great pity that baron Hubncrs book wsB not
written q year ago; tho English public would
then havo known somothing Of
