Ambassadors ,
when acknowledged as such ,
are exempted ,
absolutely from all allegiance ,
and from all responsibility to the laws .
If ,
however ,
they should be so regardless of their duty ,
and of the object of their privilege ,
as to insult or openly to attack the laws of the government ,
their functions may be suspended by a refusal to treat with them ,
or application can be made to their own sovereign for their recall ,
or they may be dismissed ,
and required to depart within a reasonable time .
By fiction of law ,
an ambassador is considered as if he were out of the territory of the foreign power ;
and it is an implied agreement among nations ,
that the ambassador ,
while he resides in the foreign state ,
shall be considered as a member of his own country ,
and the government he represents has exclusive cognizance of his conduct ,
and control of his person .
The attendants of the ambassador are attached to his person ,
and the effects in his use are under his protection and privilege ,
and ,
generally ,
equally exempt from foreign jurisdiction .
4 .
Ambassadors are ordinary or extraordinary .
The former designation is exclusively applied to those sent on permanent missions ;
the latter ,

or residing at a foreign court for an indeterminate period .
