London, May 1. IttCSt. Your correspondent
hue travelled over just one-half of the Kustcru
hemisiihere. Abyssinia, Arabia, India, Kjrypt.
Crete, Syria, Palestine, Turkey In Asia and
Turkey in Europe, (Irecie, the Cycladcs, Italy,
Kranec, Spain, Kn'lund,; and Southern Russia
have I vlniu-d. Much that I have seen has been
detailed already In Bwcetesf morsels tidbits,
iYVlt.tdlilin in juillKll iiiitinii v...... 0
mercc, public works, finance, politics, wars,
history, varied with descriptions of the chrono
logical distributions of the different empires,
kingdoms, states, republics, colonies, over which
my erratic footsteps led. The every-day life of
tho'varlous peoples inhabiting these countries
have I also dwelt upon, and every publicist in
America I. hope has been considerably onlight
' rned thereby. But now, after your correspond
ent's return to England, preparatory to another
extensive journey which your agent tells me I
am to take, and acting upon a suggestion given
to ino by your agent, do I find myself called
tipon to touch upon another topic, which
hitherto I have not dime, ami tills is "Our Civil
Service Abroad." With the view to make our
generous republic acquainted with the aetunf
present condition of the American diplomatic
body abroad, do I open my portfolio and extract
ituch information as notes taken upon the spot
will afford me.
Paraphrasing once more, so that no selfishness
or unworthy motives may be ascribed to your
correspondent by your readers, let me stuto
before commencing my work that whatever re
velations are herein contained may be believed,
because I can have no object whatever in dis
torting any actuality with which I am acquainted
and are herein set dowu. Articles referring to
the same subject on which I am about to write,
.have at intervals appeared in some of the American-magazines,
but they were not written by
me, nor by an impartiafobserver of events and
actions; they were the emissions ol interested
persons of men already in the employment of
the Government of an American Consul now on
service. Your correspondent was at his elbow
while he wrote one, and of a verity I could not
help but smile at the platitudes and arrogant
postulates upon which lie was enlarging for the
purpose of obtaining from Uovcrunienl a larger
Hilary.
Would it be believed if I were to state that the
American public, are the worst represented at
.foreign courts of any other nation on the eartli ?
And yet such is the fact. Why ? Because the
majority of our representative have not been
chosen as the most eligible for their present po
sitions, but are appointees of a set of politicians,
whoso chief aim and study is how to dispose of
their friends. It is natural for men to think of
their own friends and relations lirst. but if these
friends and relations are totally incapacitated to
perform the set duties, they do themselves
grievous wrong in pcrsiothlg to retain them in
their situations. I low very wrong, how very
sinful is it. then, when politieians, though con
vinced of their friends' incapacity and want of
intellect, persist in using their influence to pre
serve unfit appointees in public ollice, when each
passing day of such oUiccship is at the expense
of our national dignity. But let the reader pay
attention and follow me while I indicate some
instances of real absurdities.
TUB AMERICAN LEGATION AT THE COURT OK ST. JAMES.
Starting at the initial point on the route to the
European Continent, we llnd ourselves in the neigh
borhood of the Court of St. J times the Kng.'lsli
Court. Mr. Keverdy .Johnson no, I should have said,
in newspaper parlance, the Hon. Keverdy Johnson)
is the appointee at this court. Hen. Keverdy John
son, it Is said, is a gentleman, a scholar, and a states
man. High and necessary qualtlleations these are
before a thinking man can lind it in his heart to
sanction so important an appointment us an ambas
sador or the representative of a nation. Mr. Johnson
has now been in otlle-e some months. Those who
have traced his career thus far must have arrived at
some conclusions concerning his capability and
adaptibility for this very Important post. We all
know, and It Is apparent to the most casual observer,
that Mr. Johnson is a gentleman and a scholar. Hut
ef the other qualification, what of It? Can any intelli
gent American place him among the category of
statesmen ? No, not one. What has he done, then,
to forfeit that name ? This, chlefest of all. Jle has,
"'.Ike another Lamartlne, sanrllieed the reputation of
a man of action and the statesman to spd'elies, In
striking contrast to his calm, dispassionate prede
cessor, does the conduct of Mr. Johnson appear.
Before the moat slowly deliberative people in the
world he commenced nis diplomatic duties with
Htnmp speeches. For awhile he was listened to with
respect, his eminent office demanded that, and Eng
lishmen listened to the American representative with
a respect blended with curiosity. But his speeches
liecaine vapid and uninteresting, simply because they
were but commonplace rehearsals of what the peo
ple had heard from his own mouth, and had read in
every paper scores of times before. His dogmatic
and Imperious expressions, eirects of premature con
clusions on his part concerning the Alabama claims,
were caught up and ridiculed by a people who, more
than all others, detest clap-trap speeches, and are
seldom prone to hasty declarations. As we wish to
stand well in the eyes of the world, all earnest,
thoughtful Americans must deplore this lack of tact
tm the part of Mr. Johnson. In the minds of the in
habitants of the British Isles, lie has established the
lact, beyond all doubt, that we are still in the Martin
Chuz.lewit era, and Unit stump speaking is still
idiosyncratic of native born Americans. He also ex
posed himself to unkind remarks, if not Insults. The
Xatunltttj Jtcvii w was in Its glory, and many were the
mmgent sarcasms levelled at our unfortunate Minis
ter's head for his guileless remarks before beef-eating
corporations and insolent members of mechanic lu
stitutes. I confess to having felt, with several other
Americans, as if I were sitting on thorns while erra
tic Mr. Johnson made his extraordinary tour over
England, and what wayward spirit prompted him to
declaim, with the feeble diffusiveness so characteris
tic ot mm, neiore every iieei-iaeeu, iai-iraiiicii huh
mUitte that thought tit to call upon him for a speech,
is beyond my knowledge. Andrew Johnson's tour was
not more undignified or more out of place than Mr.
Keverdy Johnson s was. His reasons were accord
ing to Ids own statements he hoped to cement in
bonds still llrmer the love existing between the two
nations, and to erase from English minds the idea,
that the American people entertained hostile feel
lugs towards England. Very laudable indeed, we
must admit, but was it his place to halt at every
petty village to disseminate his opinions? What is
1 the press for? Whatever feelings animate Ameri
cans generally llnd their way to the editorial
columns of the American journals, and if they con
cern England and her interests they are republished
in English journals. Not for a day have they been
at fault as yet to discern the tendency of public,
opinion in America. No other American Minister
'ever thought It incumbent upon him to act
as a newsman or an oracle to the country he was
accredited. Why should Mr. Johnson constitute him
self as the mouthpiece of the American nation';
Only that he was born for a stump orator, and his
predilection for speech-making usurped his dignity
and his dutv. I fear also that there is a good deal of
parasitism in the man, else why should he bii so
reaily to accommodate himself to the desirus of the
aristocracy, when we know so well the anti-American
feeling with which they have always been im
bued? If any of your readers doubt the existence
nt such a feeling, let them remind themselves of the
eplphoneniatic exclamations which greeted his with
drawal from an aristocratic drawing-room: '"11 ow
very like a Yankee he is, to be sure; ho Is full or
Yankee buncombe." Since the happy termination
f th civil war In America we are gene
rally very proud of the word Yaukee, because it
i.,,ii, ,iti.u a nnrtv that was victorious: but with an
Englishman the word Yankee is the embodiment of
self-conceit and low cunning. He never thinks of
iiu iiin.ie.erit. nriirin or of its local application, formerly
j...i.t .. ..itivoti'w xifw b'turliLiiil. hut regards
the word as meaning that of a person whoso senti
ments are antagonistic to iMigiauu aim miKum""';".
ft is time that intelligent Americans, esimcially
4r.,ri,.anonii.nKH!i.iior8. should remember tnattnouitii
bunoomblmii and niountebankism. though suitable
to political mass meetings and stump speakers of
'.... ua.ni .w.ph not iiiL'iiifv them In the eyes of
foreigners not trained to that perfected liberty which
we euioy, nor accustomed to that language and ac
tion. Mr. Johnson will also Howell to remember
that there must be harmony and sympathy between
an audience and a speaker beiure a speech can have
ellect.
TUB AMERICAN EMBASSY AT THE COURT OK TOE CZAR.
The next subject Is that of the embassy to Russia,
the United States Legation at Nt. Petersburg. Our
representative at this Court is the Hon. tasslus M.
Clay. Mr. Clay is an American statesman of dlstin
tmjHheri ai.iniins. Ho was an advocate of the aboli
tion of slavery, and gave a proof of his sincerity by
freeing his own slaves. He was born In Kentucky ill
.I?..i...it.iui,.r mi, I utter litililliifr the uosl-
Hon of a member of Congress, was In lmil appointed
u ,.,i.,.. ... i;,.-uia ..ii iiiu formation of Mr. Lincoln S
, Cabinet. He subsequently resigned the appointment,
and returned to rAmerlca, to take part in the- civil
war which was then raging. Mr. Clay found, how
ever, that tbongh his patriotism and sympathy for
llplfwnth! position at Ht. Petersburg, his services as
a general were 'not appreciated so much as nis diplo
matic Abilities bud hitherto been, so after a .tempo
rary elevation to a general, and tasting of the plea
wire which wearing military gold lace gives, Mr.
Clay was readily induced by Mr. Lincoln to return to
ht. i'rterslnirg. ......
Admiral Lessoffsky, of the Russian navy, rccom.
mended to Mr. C. W. Clay, for his secretary, a Mr.
Jcrctnlah Curtln, and upon an Introduction and
altera little private confabulation, Mr. Curtln was
enraged. Hut soon after Mr. Curtln's arrival at St.
Petersburg, Mr. Clay found himself welgheddown by
an Incubus. Wherever he went or whatever he at
tempted to do, there was 'evidently some Influence
Impelling his actions, anil being blest with 'a
fair share of common sense and discernment
when pricked Into if, was not slow in tracing
these stupefying and oppressive Influences to their
source, who was no other than his secretary, Jere
miah Ctirtln, who, through some moral obliquity In
his constitution, deemed It a kind of duty to conspire
to watch and to hinder his superior's movements.
Hence arose the mutual recriminations and petty
accusations which were made by one to the other,
until the scenes at the I nlteil States Legation be
came the common tabb-.talk of the Muscovite
capital. Clay charges Curtln with Inattention to his
business, leaving his nttlce for months together
without asking his superior's permission, and "doing
nil kinds of mean tricks, vou know." Ay, this "you
know'' sums up unaccountable things "with which
we are supposed to be well aware. And Curtln
charges Mr. Clay with being weak and Inefficient, of
making serial troubles with his rancorous qufcrulous
licss and bllliig tongue.
lit sides these things there has been a stigma upon
tht! I'nited States Legal ion ever since Mr. ('lav's
return to St. Petersburg, which arose from u harm
less allairof thi! heart, but which once threatened to
become momentous. It seems, so report says, that
Mr. ciny was rather captivated with the daughter of
an Irish lady an adventuress who resided in a
house near the Legation. The adventuress had a
penchant for intrigue, '- lie wished to become the
inoihcr-in-law of the ilis'ingulslied American citizen ;
Wut the citizen, though he. perhaps, hud Intentions,
was rather slow In proper ing. To hurry matters she
boldly charged Mr. Chi.v with having committed an
outrage upon her daughter. This was a very seri
ous charge; but Mr. i 'lay stoutly denied it, ami stated
that It hub a conspiracy to force money out
of him; and this 'was in reality the
truth. Every one, however, did or would
not believe that it was a conspiracy, ami among them
wu the gnu!', fungous-fii'-ed British Ambassador, sir
Andrew liuchunun, who obstinately urged the woman
to push the prosecution, ami this man further wrote
to his Government for instructions. It in'.ght have
become most serious had not the Prince Onrtschakotr
come to the rescue. The Prince saw through the
mesh which hud almost entangled the American
Minister, and at once compelled the woman to hush
up the cuse anil scandal instantly, or slit; would have
to leave the capital. This energetic proceeding of
the Prince ellectually terminated the gross charge.
But now, indeed, has net enough been shown In this
sketch to show that our Legation at. St. Petersburg is
not fitly representing our (country that, on the con
trary, it Is a weak, Impotent thing?
THE AMERICAN I.KOATION AT THE COURT OK THE
SI' I. TAN.
Mr. Edward Joy Morris is our Minister at the Turk
ish Court. He is an author of some celebrity. He
Is a profound and rciiucd scholar, an able critical
writer, and it Is for those qualities, I believe, he was
appointed to the high office he now occupies. He
knew nothing of the Turkish language nor of Turk
ish customs, save what he had gleaned on a few
weeks' travel In Syria. Palestine, and L'gypt. He
hud never been trained in the mysteries of diplo
macy ; but, being a gentleman, an author, and a po
litical writer who had assisted some Senator into
office, he was appointed Minister of the I'nited
Sttites to Constantinople. It was never ascertained
whether Mr. Morris was a man of judgment before
he was despatched to the diplomatic post he has oc
cupied for the space of eight years. Sufficient for
those who sent hint was it that he had given what
aid there in him lay towards pushing some politi
cians inlo office. Hut this sketch is not for the pur
pose of enlarging upon any deficiencies that may be
attributed to Mr. Morris, but to show that had he
possessed self-command and judgment, there would
have been no necessity for the scandal which is
bruited about in upper tendom of the Turkish metro
polis. The Secretary of this Legation is Mr. John P.rown,
not a relative of th" old patriarch Brown, whose
name is now immortal, but a descendant of the
Brown family, eminent us we all know it is, power
ful also, when one takes into consideration the nu
merous branches found in all quarters of the globe,
distinguished under the familiar surname of
Itrowu. This Mr. John Brown has been Secretary
of the Legation at this court, or First Dragoman, lis
it is technically called, for the last twenty or twenty
live years, at a salary of f:iiiuo per annum. He un
derstands the Turkish language perfectly, and in
more senses than one has become completely Turki
lied, if I may be allowid to use that expression,
which means that he Is a Turk in every way save by
birth. Kxeept the most ardent lover of his country
und of its institutions, no one can find fault with Mr.
Brown, lint travellers know well tile influence that
an apathetic climate like Turkey has during has
lapse of years upon the I'rume of the very purest
American. Even Our missionaries, though prompted
to their duties by the love of (iod, suffer from the
insidious innovations of tropical climates, find we
generally find them, though exerting extraordinary
powers to check the ; apathy which gradually steals
over them in the course of a few years, until they
succumb, and the apathy is unconquerable. So it is
in the case of Mr. Brown, lie has been too long a
resilient of Constantinople for real work and for the
interests of our country, fifteen years ago lie should
have been recalled, and I have no doubt he would
then have been able to present a clean sheet' for
labor performed. But now I fear it is a dillerent
thing, at least so every one is to suppose from the
accounts given travellers upon their arrival at Con
stantinople. To come to the point of thtory at
once it is a well-known fact that the Minister of the
I'nited States at the sublime Porte and his Secretary
of Legation do not agree.
Kirst. Mr. Morris charges Mr. Hrown with being
un-Ainericani.eil; of Inattention to the business of
the Legation; of altering documents to be presented
to the Turkish officials to suit Ills own purpose; of
conspiring against him; of sending false information
against him to the State Department at Washington;
anil of many other things, which nis secretary snouiu
not do.
Second. Mr. Brown charges Mr. Morris with in
capacity and many other things, which I need not
mention here, all being sadly derogatory to his
character us a gentleman and the representative of
our great resiblic. Who is wrong and who is right
is not lor me to juuge. Miince u inai. me minister
ami his secretary are lighting, quarrelling and snarl
ing. What we all know is that an American minis
ter and his secretary should agree, ami not nring tne
reputation of their eouuii'.y into disrepute. There
should be conlldencc between them. 1 think it
an utter impossibility for them to do their duty
properly if one conspires against the other. What
would u merchant sav u lie lotnm nis ciers aousing
his conlidenee? What would a patient say if he
found that his physician was proclaiming his iiuirmi
ties to the world, or w hat would a olicnt say if he
found his counsel publishing his slus to tho public?
The feelings of Mr. Morris may be Imagined, then,
when he has proofs that his secretary hius been con
spiring against nun. nut, apart iroin ttiese, tun
cliarges made by one of the parties against the other
are so Incredible that 1 dare not sully my letter by
recapitulating them. The very thought or them is
sufficient to cause one to blush. What, has been
above stated ought to be sufficient to give the Ameri
can public an idea of how matters stand at the
United States Legation at Constantinople.
THE AMKHICAK l.KUATION AT Til K SPANISH COt'KT.
Mr. John P. Hale, or the state of New Hampshire,
is the representative ot the I'nited States who was
accredited to the Court of Madrid some three years
ago. Mr. Horatio Justus Perry is the Secretary of
the Legation. There are several people in existence
to-day who will ilippantlv say that In his prune Mr.
Jolin'P. Hale was a "very smart mini," not able, but
"clever, dexterous," as a lawyer for that, was his
profession. After surveying him lately, with sharp
critical glances, anil analyzing each look ami ges
ture, 1 came to the conclusion that if he had ever
been a "very smart man,'' a clever, dexterous man,
there were not extant the slightest vestige of any
such dexterity or smartness when 1 saw him, and
it would be a hard mutter to make any man with
a grain of common sense in him, seeing
him just now for the lirst ttine, believe
that John 1'. Hale, ol New Hampshire, Minister at
Madrid, hail even been a smart man. If he pos
sessed his full mental pinvers when he Urst went lo
Madrid, I should be untruthful if 1 said that he pos
sesses them now. A species of mania has already
overtaken htm, which I bellevo to be symptomatic
of the dotage that is not far oil'. Poor, poor, old
man ! There Is a wandering, unsettled look about
him. a stintless, aimlets character, . which becomes
apparent at once, and I say It is a sin, a shame to
our manhood and a disgrace to the nation, to have
kept him "mouldering in Ills sinecure" so long.
Some strange fatality must have dogged the foot
steps of the Slute Department when they could not
discover this venerable entity, this wreck of a man
occupying a diplomatic position during oue of the
most critical periods thai Spain has gone through.
Butupart from the Imbecility which, apparently,
characterizes him now, I here has been a grave charge
made ugainst him of introducing goods and mer
chandise into the city of Madrid, under the privileges
ie proceedings that were to be instituted against
ll. 1 1.. i.. f..- ti... abuse of his frank. The Foreign
which, as a member oi mt uipiuiuuuu uuuj, im
eniovs' in short, he has been accused of smuggling.
This charge is not one trumped up by any enemy of
his for, poor man, who would injure such as lie? but
it Is notorious, and has been noticed by the Spanish
mnim'ss. The question was asked the other day,
before the whole house, by Don Alcazar, whether
... ........ ..t miner iii the State office relative to
brought tn very many more bales of carpet than
were neoessary to carpet his house; that there hail
been, In tact, enough Introduced to have carpeted
three royal palaces.
T1IK AMERICAN LEOATION AT TOE COl'RT OK TORTUOAI,
Minister Harvey, at Lisbon, Is not a very popular
man with the good, easy people of tho Portuguese
capital. He Is what they call "a mean man," tho
definition of which they give as a man who accepts
everybody's invitations, but never Invites In return
They say the citizen does not live who has tasted of
edibles at his table, while Mr. Harvey, on the other
hand, dines out every day of the year almost.
Strange to say, the I'nited states naval officers cor
roborate these assertions; they also say that ho Is a
"mean man." He never gives them dinners. Ho
never even Invited Admiral Uoldshorongh or Karragut
to his house. This last Is bud, very bad, If true. He
should at least have shown the courtesy of a gentle
man to these two great heroes, which perhaps would
have cost him In all Just ten dollars, and the Admi
rals, being gentlemen, would have reciprocated the
courtesy very readily, I have no doubt, which would
have diminished the expense a third.
Hut there Is a charge made against him which is
not consistent with the law laid down for the guid
ance of officers In the service of the I'nited States
Government, viz., that he writes to newspapers for
pecuniary pay, which he performs In a very ingeni
ous manner. It Is said that he Is the correspondent
of an Ainericue newspaper, who is supposed to write
from Purls. This Is in toto contra to the law. Per
haps a change might bo beneficial here also, as In
the others which I have sketched out.
AMEIUCAN AMBASSADORS AND CONSCI.S AT OTHEa
1'tACKS.
We possess some men, however, who forget not
their country, who forget not that they are American
gentlemen, supposed to represent one of tho
grandest nations on earth, whose characters are
spotless, and of these, of the rank of ambassador,
are: Marsh, at Florence; Tuckermun, at, Athens;
Bancroft, at Berlin; Dlx, at Paris, and Bartlett, nt
Stockholm. We have also very many first rate mm
as Consuls, of whom we may mention Karrell, at
Cadiz; Conway, at Marseilles; Ooodrellow, Consul
(ienera', at Constantinople; Johnson, at Key rout;
Webb, at Zanzibar; the Consul-Oeneral at Calcutta,
our Consul at JSombuy; Seward, at Shanghai;, ami
several others. Hut then we have Consuls ami
Consul-ticneruls who ore nothing more than low
drunkards, brutes, who disgrace the very name of
man, and then we have men who are in other ways
utterly unlit to hold office, and General Orant should
exercise tho very greatest care that, such men as are
totally Incapacitated from performing their duties,
mentally as well as morally, should no longer be a
reproach to the nation of which he is the elected
load.

Gents: On the night of the 22d ultimo, our store,

tempt made by burglars upon one of your safes In our
counting-room.
The key to the safe n which we kept onr securities
was locked Inside of our tire-proof book safe, tho
doors of which were literally cut to pieces; from this
they obtained the key to the other safe anil opened
it. Fortunntely we had one of your Burglar-Proof
Banker's Chests inside, in which our valuables were
deposited. This they went to work at with a will,
and evidently used up ail their time and tools In vain
attempts to force it. The night was dark and stormy,
and the fact of their knowing where our key was
kept shows that their plans were well matured. They
tried wedging the door and body of the Chest, and
the faithful safe bears evidence of the labor and skill
devoted to the work. All was useless, and it is with
great satisfaction we report that upon opening It we
found our securities all nafe, and can therefore cheer
fully indorse the Burglar-Proof work recommended
by you.
You will please send the new Bafe purchased by ns
