Foreign Ministers.—The National Intelligencer of the 20th, announces the whereabouts of several foreign ministers, appointed and expectant: Abbott Lawrence, recently appointed Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from the United States to Great Britain, is at present on a visit to this city. He will probably not take his departure upon his mission till towards the end of next month. William C. Rives, appointed Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the Republic of France, passed through this city a day or two ago, and will sail for Europe in a few days. He takes London in his way. It gives us pleasure to learn that Robert P. Letcher, (late Governor of the State of Kentucky) is expected in this city in the course of the week. It is rumored that he has been offered, and will accept, a foreign mission. As an honorable distinction by his own Government, few men could be deemed more worthy to receive it. Daniel M. Barringer, appointed Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to Spain, is, as we observe by the newspapers, at present sojourning at New York, probably awaiting a conveyance to the seat of his mission.
