THE DAILY ELEG HAFII PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10, 1807. o AfflPaSSfiDORS OUT OF WORK. WTiat on earth is to become of the ambassa dors by W-ltf t The world is all at sixes and eTens, bo far as those iuuuuu. cerned. Ambassadors extraordinary, minis ters plenipotentiary, envoys extraordinary and ordinary, secretaries of legation, secre taries of embassy, all are asking when their tnrn will oome to be pnt out of joint. What with nationality and the needle gun, the diplo matic corps is sorely perplexed. The normal Btate, the etiquette when matters are going on nmoothly, is Just this that majesty must bo represented wherever other majesty exists. Our queen may not have much to do with the sovereign prince of a State about as large (but nothing near so populous) as the parish of St. Tancras; nevertheless ehe must have some one to represent hor at liis court to look aristocratic; to wear a court suit; to speak the prince's langtiage; to attend levees and birthday receptions; to make a complimentary call of inquiry when the prince has the toothache; to convey an unpleasant message in words so full of polite ness as to take off the sting; and to open his eyes and ears and shut his mouth whenever policy dictates caution. To a few great lowers, such as Austria (dynastically great though sadly bruised), France, Prussia, Rus sia, and Turkey, we send a very big man indeed nnder the title "Ambassador Extraor dinary and Plenipotentiary," and give him from eix to ten thousand a year to support his dig nity. To States of the Beoond rank, such as 15elgium, Denmark, etc., we send an "Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary," whose diplomatic pay generally varies from three to six thousand per annum. In one, the lately organized embassy to Japan, Sir Harry Tarkes has the very long designation "Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary and Consul-General." Some are simply 'Ministers Plenipotentiary;" and one is ' Minister Resident and Consul-Gene-ral." These gold-laced individuals have very exact rules, one among another, and among the diplomatio representatives of other countries, on all matters relating to etiquette and comparative rank ; and if any one feels his pride offended by the sovereign to whom he is accredited, he makes it to be understood that his sovereign is offended ; and then some kind of delicate Court-plaster is applied to heal up the wound. It is among these recipients of favor from the Foreign Office that a good deal of bewilderment is observable just now. Stern facts have been playing a game at nine-pins with royal and grand-ducal crowns, knocking them about the heads of the luckless wearers. Not long ago there was a King of Naples (or of 'the Two Sicilies,' in diplomatio language); and there were Grand Dukes of Tuscany, Parma, and Modena. To all of these, in some form or other, our queen was wont to send envoys or ministers; but now Victor Emanuel has turned them all out, and made their dominions component parts of the mighty kingdom of Italy; one diplomatio rep resentative, at Florence, suffices for all; and if Italy should stand her ground well, and grow in strength, possibly our minister at that Deautiful city will be raised to the dignity of "Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipoten tiary." Then, in Germany, Prussia has swallowed up Hanover and most of the other component members of the disjointed Germanic Confederation; and although Saxony Is not quite snapped up, King William has supplanted King John for all military and diplomatio purposes. It thus arises that our BIT iienrv iiowara nan ixuiuwii psruuumr tu do at Hanover, Sir Alexander Hlet nothing at Frankfort, Mr. Murray nothing at Dresden. When Maximilian became a bran-new Empe ror 'of Mexico, we sent our Envoy Extraordi- ir .!..! 1 11 1 . ." i 1 .. nary ana imnister i jeiupuieuuai y wj leuugmzo 1dm on the part of Queen Victoria ; but if lie should become or if he has already become a "monarch out of business," we shall "have to see how the cards will be shuffled by Juarez, Ortegas, Santa Anna, and the United States, before we can tell whether it is worth while to spend three r four thousand a year upon a representative in that torn and bewildered country. And as to the ministers in chief, so to their lieutenants, the "Secretaries of Embassy and Legation;" if the one tums out, so must the other, and so must numerous attaches and subordinate secretaries. These berths are eagerly looked for, often ty tavontes at court, . or by the younger sons of the nobility, as eay modes of serving an apprenticeship to courtly and ministerial life. Just about ten years ago, the Earl of Claren don, at that time Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, sought to give a useful turn to the thoughts of these secondary diplomatists, by suggesting to them the collection of informa- tion likely to be serviceable, both to them selves and to others. The move was so de cidedly In the right direction that good results are sure to flow from it, whether continental kinglings, princelings, and dukelings are knocked about or not. The Earl, writing to the chiefs of all the British embassies at foreign ' courts, set forth Ids ideas in the following clear and explicit way : " Her Majesty's Government, being desirous to encou rage the junior members of the diplo matio service to turn to account the opportunities of observation afforded to them by their employment at foreign courts, have determined to assign a specilio duty to her Majesty's Secretaries of Embassy and Legation, which will not only tend to their own improvement In their profession, but which may, if properly performed, be pro ductive of great publio advantage." Then comes the modus operandi. The duties to be thus specifically assigned to the Secreta ries of Embassy and Legation are the collec tion of information relating to the commercial movements of the country where they reside, and the compilation of periodical reports on the Industry, trade.and general statistics of that country. The bearing whicn those elements f national prosperity in the one country has on its intercourse with foreign nations, and more particularly with her Majesty's domi nions, is so important that too much pains can not be bestowed upon furnishing to her Majesty's Government the means of form ing a correct opinion. The earl ad verted to the fact that British con suls at foreign porta have long been in the Labit of supplying information annually con cerning the trade of those ports with other places; but such information need not at all shut the door against the proposed ambassa dorial exextionB. "Her Majesty's diplomatio servants, residing at the capitals, have oppor tunities of arriving at a more general appro- Where there Is an "Ambassador Extraordi nary and Plenipotentiary," the aeoona la coin luuud la the "Hecretary of the Embury;" DQt where the chief is "Knvoy Kxtriioraiuury and Minister Plenipotentiary." hi second Is culled Secretary of .Legation." Like as with tti ' chief, so with the seconds, there are eradatlona ef rank and of emolument; the Hecretarles of Kmbasay receiving from elRht hundred to a thousand a year, while the 8eoreturlen of Lega tion receive from four to elijtit huudied. ciation of the commercial progress of the several countries, and of ascertaining the grounds on which legislative interference with the course of trade is resorted to, and the effect which such interfence is calculated to have, not only on local or general Interests in the countries themselves, but also on the commercial relations of those countries with foreign nations, llor Majesty's Secreta ries of Embassy and Legation, with a view to the same result, might occasionally, and with the sanction of their chiefs, visit the great manufacturing townH, and also, in maritime countries, the outports, and witness thecourBe of business there; and, if necessary, suggest, from personal experience, the adoption of measures by which the trade of British sub jects might obtain facilities, or be relieved from burdens and obstructions." But the boyB must not go poking their noses hither and thither without the consent of their master. The chief must sanction everything, and the reports must be made to him in the first instance. On the other hand, each chief is called upon to fulfd his part towards the work. "Her Majesty's Government expect that the hends of missions (embassies, etc) will give effect to the object which they have in view, by obtaining for their Secretaries access to all sources of Information, by encouraging them with their support and advice, and by pointing out to them the matters to which thejr attention may most usefully be directed." In order to give immediate practical value to these labors, it is requested that the reports shall be presented twice a year from the Secre taries to the chiefs of Embassy, and by the latter, with any necessary observations or ex planations, to the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Excellent, all this: making these young diplomatists acquainted with the busy driving world of commerce, as well as with the com mercial world at court. The Earl recapitu lated the advantages of the system thus: "It will benefit the secretaries by giving them habits of attention and observation; it will assist the heads of missions, by affording them additional facilities for arriving at a just knowledge of the resources of the countries in which they reside; and it will place her Majesty's Government, and the publio at large, in possession of valuable materials, on which to frame commercial legislation and regulate commercial enterprise." The secretaries, all things considered, have done their work very well, collecting a large amount of curious information on the trade, manufactures, and general statistics of the countries in which they reside. They set to work at once; and the first to respond to the instructions of the Earl of Clarendon was Mr. Ertkine, Secretary of Legation at Sardinia before Victor Emanuel had changed his title from King of Sardinia to King of Italy, and his capital from Turin to Florence. This was in the middle of 1857; and ever since that time there have been regular reports from all or nearly all the countries to which we Bend embassies and envoys. The first year brought forward reports from Sardinia, Belgium, Bavaria, Switzerland, France, Denmark, and the Germanic Confederation (in those days represented at Frank fort). We have thus a double allowance. Every year there are "Abstracts of the Re ports of the Trade of various Countries and Places, received by the Board of Trade through the Foreign Office, from her Majesty's Minis ters and Consuls." And every year, in like manner, we have "Reports by Secretaries of Embassy and Legation on the Manufactures and Commerce of Foreign Countries." Gen erally b peaking, each consul contents himBelf with about five or eix folio pages of matter; and there are such reports from eighty or ninety different places, in all parts of the world. The Secretaries of Embassy and Legation are a little more ambi tious; they fill ten folio pages of print or bo, on an average; and when five-and-thirty of them do this, as was the case in a recent year, the amount of information rendered concern ing foreign countries is really very conside rable. Practical men sometimes smile a little at some of the reports in regard to generaliza tions and theorizings which betray the mind of an amateur or dilletanti statistical philoso pher; but for the most part the reports are reliable and valuable. Sometimes the secretaries pick up infor mation on special subjects, which allow of direct comparison with similar subjects in England. Thus, in one particular year (1864), Mr. Burnley sent in a special report on the silk industry of Basle in Switzerland; Mr. Ward on railway communication in Hol land; Mr. Barnard on the branches of industry in which steam and machinery are employed in Saxony; and (in reference to political organ ization rather than to industrial pursuits) Mr. Lytton on the election of representatives for the Rigsraad In Denmark. Some of these special reports are curious; such as Mr. Bar nard's on fires and fire insurance in Saxony, suggesting means of comparison with our own home system here in England. For instance, we are told, "The value of such building must be taxed before insurance takes place, by per sons appointed for that purpose. The part of any building underground is not taken into consideration; and the different parts above ground, stone and wood, are valued sepa rately. Every householder must insure the half of the valuation; he can, however, insure the whole." Again: "Stone and brick are not insured, but only the combustible parts of the building." One remark points to a state of tilings certainly the reverse of that which exists in England: "In villages in a manu facturing district the houses are generally less crowded, and stand more apart, and the fires are less considerable, than in agricultural districts, where the houses are closely ad joining, and much more exposed to danger." We are told that " In villages, fires have generally their origin in wilful in cendiarism or by lightning." One statement has a very ugly appearance: "No doubt exists of a comparatively large proportion of fires being caused with a view of receiving the amount of insurance; but the difficulty of viroving me crime is so great, that in very few instances can the perpetrator be convicted." Another speoial report on the State railways of Belgium, is worth the attention of those who wish our Government to take the railway system under their control. During seventeen years the Chamber of Accounts and the Minis try of Works prepared wholly irreoonoilable balance-sheets of the profit and loss on Belgian railways; the only thing certain was, that the net profit did not pay the interest of the borrowed money with which the lines were constructed. Since then matters have improved; but we are, nevertheless, told that "The history of these undertakings is not calculated to encourage other nations to enter upon the same path." So lar, then, we have had to speak of a very useful mode of employing the seconds in com mand at our several embassies; but now for the other side. Let us mourn over the tribulations of the "Almanach de Gotha," in connection with the stirring events which have resulted in am bassadors being "out of work." It is, in truth, an embarrassing problem to solve. The fat little book will not know bow to com port itself. The eleven hundred pngos In the edition for 1SG6, published a year or bo ago, was the hundred and third annual publica tion. For more than a century has this record of royalty appeared. Every person who has the sixteenth part of a drop of im perial, royal, princely, grand-ducal, or arch ducal blood in his veins, finds his pedigree and heraldic merits here set forth. Would we know what sort of dignity hover round the husband of our Trincess Helena, we can ascertain exactly the relative position of the elder branch and the younger branch of the great house of Schleswig-IIolstein-Sonder-bonrg-Augnstenbourg, despite the fact that Count von Bismark shows the most superb contempt for any claim that Duke Frederick or Prince Christian may put forth for govern ing power in the Elbe duchies. Would we know who is the Prince de Teck, to whom our kind-hearted and bright-eyed Princess Mary of Cambridge is married, we should be able to find (though, it is true, at the expense of no small amount of search) that Prinoe Franois Paul Charles Louis Alexander de Teck is the son of Duke Alexander Paul Louis Constan tino, who was an uncle to the late King of Wurtemlrg, who was father to the present King of Wurtemberg; and that as Prince de Teck's mother, Clandine, Countess of UohenBtein and Rheday, was not quite royal In birth (being a Hungarian lady of noble but not sovereign blood). Prince de Teck and his two sisters can only be made fully royal by the gracious favor of the King of Wurtemberg, which favor has been awarded. Would we .know what prince or princess in the whole of Europe is blessed with the great est number of names, we should be enabled to pitch upon a young gentleman just now a year and a half old, who has the honor to be the second son of the King of Portugal. He, the Almanach rf Gotha tells us (in French spell ing, not Portuguese), is Prinoe Alphonse Henri Napoleon Marie Louis Pierre-d' Alcan tara Charles Herbert Am6d6e Fernando Affenti Michel Raphael Gabriel Gonzaga Xavier Fran-cois-d'Assise Jean Auguste Jules Valfanno Ig-nace-de-Bragana-Savoie - Bourbon-S axe-Co bourg et Gotha. If we had put it in Portu guese, the rigmarole would nave been still more sonorous, with its Carlos and Pedro, Francisco and Fernando, Alfonso and Antonio; but even as it is, the small boy has quite enough to carry, and we only marvel in what terms the $utor will by-and-by address him to birch a boy with thirty names is of course not to be thought of. The little boy Don has ' got a little Donna cou sin, too, some four or five years old, who, it seems, cannot be properly ad dressed in a smaller compass than Donna Marie Anne de Carniel Henrique Th6rdse Adelaide Jeanne Caroline Agnes Sophie Eulalie Leopoldine Elizabeth Bernardino Michaele Gabrielle Raphaele Francoise-d Assise et de Paul Ignatie Gonzague I This "Almanach" is the authority to which royalty looks when a marriageable prince or princess is wanted. As royal blood must only wed royal blood, or something like it, it is a matter of great importance to know where that blood fs to be found, of the right age and at the right time. Russia, for instance, unless cousins marry (which they do not so much in that country as in Austria), must seek elsewhere for husbands and wives; and as a State, however small, will meet the requisite conditions if the blood is all right, Russia makes alliances with her humbler neighbors. Thus, the late czar married a Prussian princess, the present czar a Hessian princess; his second son (the eldest being dead) has just married the beautiful Princess Dagmar of Denmark; the czar's sister Olga married the Prince Royal of Wurtemberg; and Ids brother Constantino a princess of Saxe Altenburg; and his brother Nicholas a princess of Oldenburg; and his brother Michael a princess of Baden; and his cousin Catherine the Duke of Mecklenburg S t relit z and so on. These alliances do not prevent royalty from making war on royalty; the Hesses and Saxes have been more or less devoured by Prussia, notwithstanding their matrimonial connections with Russia; and as to the recent war in Bohemia, Uncle William has so terribly thrashed Nephew Frank, that it is very problematical whether the latter will ever recover. Certainly the "Almanach de Gotha" ought to put on mourning juBt now; for it is difficult to see how the break-up of Germany is to be described. Possibly the richness of the blood may be deemed a counter-balance to the political misfortunes of the kings, princes, and serene dukes; and royal match-makers may know where to go, as they have hitherto known. In so far as our own royal family are concerned, the choice is less extensive than for royal families on the Continent, seeing that our young brides and bridegrooms must all be Protestants. Our Alfred is twenty-two, our Louisa is nearly nineteen; we must of course look out for a bride for the one and a husband for the other. We must not, however, look to Spain, Franoe, Portugal, Italy, Austria, Belgium, or the Catholic States of Germany, nor to Russia, nor to any State where the Greek Church prevails; Prussia, the other Protestant States of Germany, Holland, Den mark, and Sweden must supply us; and the lar-iamed "Almanach" tells us exactly the names and ages of all the lads and lasses whose blood is of the right color and consistency. For, be it remarked, it i3 only the "premiere pnrtie" of the Almanach that must be con sulted for such a purpose; the Becond part relates to "Princes not Sovereign;" from which we are taught to believe that the families of the Altieris, Arenbergs, Auer spercs, Belcioioses, Batthyanys, Bentheisas. Borgheses, Chimays, Colonnas, etc, though possibly very nice people, are not nice enough for royalty to take to the altar, except in those morganatic or left-handed marriages which play such a curious part on the Conti nent. The "ambassadors out of work" must get over their difficulty somehow: if Italy and Prussia have swallowed up a dozen States to which we used to send embassies, the young diplomatists must learn to make themselves useful in other capacities.
