Tho list I have already for- warded to you was substantially correct, I enclose, how- ever, a full list of all the appointments, with some details, which may prove of interest. It was generally supposed that Sir Stratford Canning would have been the Foreign Minister, Sir Stratford, who holds the appolutment of Ambaseador at Constantinople, is now on his way to Eng- lund ; but it la by no means certain that he will replace Lord Malmesbury, Sir Stratford is a sworn onemy to the policy of Russia, Lorg Malmerbury has, as yet, given nd proofs of political skill, Hes reported a frienid of Louls Napoleons, and will have plenty of work to try hia mettle ehortly.
