SECRETARY OF EMBASSY or OF LEGATION. An officer appointed by the sovereign
power, to accompany a minister of first or second rank, and sometimes,
though not often, of an inferior rank. He is, in fact, a species of public
minister; for independently of his protection as attached to an ambassador's
suite, be enjoys, in his own rights, the same protection of the law of
nations, and the same immunities as an ambassador. But private secretaries
of a minister must Dot be confounded with secretaries of embassy or of
legation. Such private secretaries are entitled to protection only as
belonging to the suite of the ambassador.
