The Swiss Government has again solicited the good offices of our diplomatic and consular agents for the protection of its citizens in countries where it is not itself represented. This request has. withins proper limits. been granted. Our agents in Switzerland have been instructed to protest against the conduct of the authorities of certain communes in pennitting the emigration to this country of crimisals and other objectionable person$. Several such persons. through the cooperation of the commissioners of emigration at New York. have been sent back by the steamers which brought them. A continuance of this course may prove at more effectual remedy than diplomatic remonstrance. Treaties of commerce and navigation. and for the regulation of consular privileges. have been concluded with Roumania and Servia since their admission into the family of European states.
