From the London Weekly News November H.
In refusing Mr.. Soule permission to pass
through France, Louis Napoleon, we think, has
not shown his usual foresight Therepresenta-
tive of America at the Court of Madrid may be
neither Normandy nor Westmoreland, but
he is still the representative of America, and to
deny him the privilege people Of every grade
and distinction of character cline enjoy, is to
insult the American nation. Knowing the ex-
IRENE sensitiveness of that great republic to any
thing like &c snubbing" on the part of European
Courts, and also its almost unrestricted power
to injure our ally (and so ourselves) at this
juncture eve await the result with some little
anxiety.
We feel this the more from seeing it only this
day stated in a journal supposed to be the OFF,
cial organ at Washington of the United States
Government, that perfect agreement of views
has been established between Mr.. Soule and the
cabinet at Washington, to which the first had
written that he would Immediately withdraw if
the least of his acts had not the complete appro-
baton of the Cabinet. As a full reply, there
have, it is said, been granted to him powers
more extended than perhaps any former repre-
sentative of the United States to a foreign coun-
try ever possessed. G
