This election will be very generally regretted, for there is no more competent man in the country for the furtherance of our interest abroad than Mr. Appleton. We have every reason to believe that his declension lo remuin abroad as a diplomatist after the return of Mr. Buchanan, has great ly disappointed the President and Secretary of State. We presume tnnt Mr Buchanan will not leave London now, until his suc cessor may be on the spot to relievo him. Wushiiujlon Star, Vet, 4. ' Thb Taiilk Turned.
