For any finite Galois extension $K$ of $\mathbb{Q}$ and any conjugacy class $C$ in $\text{Gal}\left( {K}/{\mathbb{Q}}\; \right)$, we show that there exist infinitely many Carmichael numbers composed solely of primes for which the associated class of Frobenius automorphisms is $C$. This result implies that for every natural number $n$ there are infinitely many Carmichael numbers of the form ${{a}^{2}}\,+\,n{{b}^{2}}$ with $a,\,b\,\in \,\mathbb{Z}$.
