Weekly national intelligencer., 1854-11-25


ernment paper, the Union, on Saturday, gives oficia
assurance to the public of what we have alread
unoficially announced through our Paris letter
namely, the settlement Of the SoULE difficulty:
ssThe Order Denying lr. Soule a Passage troug
France Revoked. In announcing this agreeable in
ellgence, we only remark at present that, SO far
could learn it was the opinion of those who had h
best means of forming correct judgment upon tn
case that the refusal Of the French Government Il
permit Mr.. Soue to enter into France, which, unex
planned, certainly appeared to be an net Of dis
courtesy and manifestation of unfriendly senti
ments towards the United States, was the result o
erroneous Impressions, and that, when the matter
was fully examined, the order would be revoked
We are rejoced to be able to- announce that this ex
pectation has been realized. Mr. Soule has not
only permission to enter into France, bat has prob
ably already ayailed himself Of it, and IS on his re-
turn to Madrid. This information was received by
the last steamer just iu time to be forwarded to the
United States, nnaccompanied by any explanation
which alluded to it
'sThe conduct Of Mr. MASON in this delicate and
unpleasant affair has been, is understood, eminent
ly judicious andpropcr. There was nothing in the
state Of our relations with France which could have
justified any act Of unfiendlness towards this eoun-
try, and we presume that this feature of the case,
strongly marked z1st was when FIRST presented, win
De removed by the explanations which probably ac-
companied the revocation of the decree by which our
Minister to Madrid was denied entrance into the
territories of France. We reserve further COM
ments upon this affair until this explanation is
known. - Union. usl@
Although the incident referred to has been set
tied, and is no longer subject for discussion, yet
the Paris paper, the Coashtatonael being regarded
as the semi-oficial journal Of the French Govern
ment, we think it proper to copy from it the an
nexed article, which is supposed to express the
views Of that Governments respecting the SouLE
affair.
FROM THE PARIS coNsTITUTIpSNEL OF NOVEMBER L.
There is nation which seems better calculated than
the United States for living in good understanding with
France. The friendly feeling so natural between the
two countries showed itself from the very commence
ment of the American Union. 1t was then commanded
by interests, as it s commanded by interests and
tradions for the direction whioh the old French mon
archy had given followed by succeeding GOVERNMENTS
and II there was any that could revive these rei-
nscences in America it is assuredy that of the Soyer-
eign who now governs France. The first empire prac-
tised towards the United States with the amplitude of
ideas which was peculiar to it policy which has been
always considered this side of the Atlantic as one Of
the essential points of system Of alliance The prin-
cipe OF appealing the nation, and of universal voting
which the new dynay has taken for its starting point
could only have for consequence to draw closer together
the two countries, in spite Of the difference of form
which exists between the two Governments If the inter-
oss at present ut stake in the world be examined closely
every thing concurs 70 demonstrate how much that good
understanding was Indicated In advance. Rhe principles
which the Government of the Emperor defends such
speak to the mind of free nation and greatly excite
its sympathy 1t is for the political independence of
Governments it is Tor the liberty Of conscience, that
France has taken arms aud, whilst she is defending
on land ideas SO much in harmony with those which
stute the basis Of American civilization she has taken
care that the principles of maritime liberty, dear to
the great transatlantic nation should be- from the very
outset of hostiies shielded from the vcisstudes to
which neutrals were accustomed for century These
considerations of the very highest political and moral
order joined to the powerful material interests which
unite the two countries between which such important
ana eAt.asre cnmmsrciai transactions are daily going
on, should, repeat It. establish betwee. .lern a ain
reciprocity Of good relations And in consequence
it is with eegre mingled with surprise that have
seen series Of facts and incidents taking place which
would seem to present another Character With the
cepon Of Russ the Government OF the Emperor keeps
up the best relations with all the Governments of the Old
and New World. However, in foreign court, differ
ence takes place between diplomatic agent and repre-
sentative Of France and that agent not content with
having originated that difference, altogether of personal
nature to do all he can by his deneanor and his
language to transform it into political conflict Who
that agent? An American Minister. In the New World
the privileges of consular flag, although founded
recent treaty, disregarded Which is the country
where international right has been thus infrnged
State of the American Union Our navy everywhere
respected There is, however, roadstead in which
handful of anarchca refugees have seized the
sion of the presence Of sailors to organize with i'm
punity demagogcal masquerade and that roadsead is
that of American town. Facts of this nature ii null
tplied would accord but little with the traditions Of
friendship and the community Of principles and interests
which exist between the two nations and which to
force themselves duty the tive Governments But
it is evidently impossible to see in these incidents any
thing else than the work OF mischief makers, whose
acts in discord with the intentions of the American
Cabinet and nation Whilst deporing them feel full
confidence that they will remain in the state of purely
individual acts; and know in advance that the Union,
always animated towards France with sympathy which
is reciprocal and which will be Of centurys du-
ration on both Sides declines the responsibility Of Incl
dents with which it has remained altogether uncon-
nected. ta8 iH
