It appears to us that Mr.. Mason proved him
self TO be totally unfit for the station he occu-
q pies If the French MINISTER sighted and ad-
y dressed the representative of the United States
. in the mapner recorded above, a proper respect
for himself and his country should have taught
i him the expediency of Immediately quitting
:. Paris.
). Another letter gives further details It says
that English mediation is hard at work, and
) Mr.. Buchanan has had an interview with lord
g Clarendon, the result Of which is unknown, but
S great efforts will be made to lead back the a-
( fair to the grounds of personality Whether
the British cabinet will succeed in this is, as
yet, a matter of doubt. Napoleon's secretary
Of state went, in his excited declaration to Mr..
1 Mason much too far easily to back out from his
: position. NJ Druyn de l'Huys spoke besides In
! a tone and behaved in a manner which were
clearly not his own choice, but were the dlcta-
' tons of higher order. He talked about the
o. mot very friendly" manner in which M. Soule
is said to have spoken in private society OF the
emperor, but he was much more emphatic and
, irritated in his reproaches against the general
sentiment and policy Of America. However
that may be, the English are very much AFRAID
of the consequences of that unlocked for affair.
They begin for the first time to think OF the
grave difficulties which such an adventurous
ally may lead them into. The Times devotes
a leader to the subject. 1t knew, evidently,
only the first part of the story; but even that
was enough to make it feel uncomfortable. lti
dares not, of course, to venture upon censure
on the expected guest Of the queen, but 1t re-
marks that the step taken in respect to M. Soule
is unusual" and thinks that our minister may
console himself with the reflection that Chou
sands of better men than himself are just now
excluded from France The Times, knowing
as said only half the facts, adverts to the sub
ect because it finds 'that there IS some dlspo-
sition on the part Of the ministers ofth United
States here and in Paris, to give an Importance
to that affair which it does not possess.' The
Times will know better by and by; until then
it may be allowed to indulge in giving us gen
erous advcc--how we should have just such
ambassadors as would be convenient to Euro
pean courts. MIR. Soule is still here, but will
90 soon think He is waiting only for news
from Paris. He will do we'll to be in Madrid
at the opening of the cortes. The affairs of
Spain look, it is true, not very bright, but Just
because they look gloomy, change may come
at any moment. A revolution is hardly to be
expected, but the court and cabinet intrgues
may effect ust as radical changes. There is
great probability that the cabinet will break up
as soon as the constitution assembly shall prove
less obedient than expected Napoleon will
have gained an immense influence. and tie i. I
States will have lost all of theirs on the councils
Of the Madrid court if the Calais outrage should
not be settled to the satisfaction of the Union.
We have in addition, letter from Paris of ,,
October 30th, which asserts that the SoulG af
fair is serious, if not threatening, and it is con-
sIdered at the embassy that it might lead to a
rupture. The writer supposes Louis Napoleon :
to have been irritated at the presence of this /
French M. SoulA) agitator in France, at the
American conclaye upon European matters at c
Ostend, at SoulG's association while in London,
with Ledru Rollin and bis band, at bis undoubt-
ed collaboration in Sanders letter to The French '
people, and on the score Of other similar Of a
fences; and it is not surprising that such an en- n
envy of anarchists and demagogues should is
sue ban against the arch anarchist and dema- =
gogue penipotentiary, in consequence. We :,
can hardly suppose the measure of exclusion to u
have been ordered in a moment Of pet or in t
sudden fit of power Louis Napoleon, as en-
peror Of France is believed to be unusually free \
from such bursts ofirrehection. We must sup
pose then that the step was taken in concert
|,
Spain, and in the certainty that it would be es-
pecial}y pleasing to Austria. 1t was said at the D
bourse that England was seeking to draw France
into war with the United States. This was ~
developed in Paris letterto the Independence !
Beige, and the number containing the letterwas N
freely admitted this morning into the country. SC
It is noteworthy, however, that the Presse alone n
of all the Paris papers has alluded to the oc- W
and then expressed doubt This
would look as though they had received notice
to keep silent. | have never doubted the in .,
clinatlon of this emperor to attack us since his
alliance with England; but | did not expect Id
any evidences Of it until after the fall Of Sebas to
opol. 1t may turn ont that this rather prema- as
ure manifestation will be an unlucky step for 81
Louis Napoleon. He wants 100000 francs, -
and is only waiting for glorious tdings to pro- u
pose another loan of that amount If the intel III
igence is not sufficiently decisive to make the he
of the loan a matter of sponta- in
leous enthusiasm like the last, he may have
difficulty in raising the money, and especially
trouble with America be added to trouble az
With Russia. People would then be very skit- be
lsh in entrusting any further supplies to the to
uthor of the apothesm, ''lEmpire, c'cst, la w.

The writer assumes the curious position that oil
louis Napoleon intended to insult gen. Pierce,
nd not the American people The president Sc,
# the United States is the head, and only re- Of
ognlsed representative ofthe American people. re,
nd any indignity offered to him by a foreign be
ower, must be looked upon as an insult to the or,
alton, and the people will rally around him
I his efor9 to redress the insult. In such da
uarrel there is no parties, neither wing nor oil
emocrat, neither southerner nor lortherner- oe
e are all Americans.
