PARIS, Monday, Oct. 2. 1854.
1t is not worth the while, IS a general rule, to
crticise the curious appreci.tions or to correct
the gross errors with which the foreign journals
indulge their readers from time to time on Ameri-
can affairs; but the following taken from the
columns Of the Presse Of Saturday, deserves some
explanations, especially since it is upon subject
Of some Importance, to which l had already de-
termined to direct the attention of your readers.
This journal says:
ave remark at this moment the simultaneous pres
ence at Paris Of FIVE or SIX Ministers OF the Republic
of the Unittd States. They Asssrs Dudley Mann,
Under Secretary Of State Of the Cabinet Of Washing
ton; p Soule Minister at Madrid Cass, Minister at
Rome; Daniel Minister at Turin; OSulivan, Minis
ter at Lisbon, and August Belmont, Minister at La
Have without counting the members Of the American
Legation at Paris. To these diplomats Is soon 10 be
Joined it is said, Mr.. Buchanan, Minister at London,
with his fret Secretary Mr.. Sckles, whom he nad
sent recently near Mr.. SOule and assured that
several Of these personages are soon to 20 TO Bale to
hold conference Of some Importance This confer
ence is to deliberate American affairs IN general,
and on the affairs Of Spain in particular. Do we not
see in this reunion the key o the cause OF departure
of Mr. Soule from Madrid, fact which has so keenly
excited the curiosity Of the Spanish press
"As we said yesterday, the report of the purchase
Of Cuba IL revived and maintained in the American
wch Islands is also agtsted. In fine, we believe We
referred time ago to the project for the acqusi'
ton OF Russian America and OF another project which
would give 10 the United States foohold a, our doors
We speak Of the acquisition Of Monaco for which the
Cabinet Of Washington is il il said, in negotiation
with the Sandman Cabinet. Ii is thus seen that the
appetite Of the Americans il not mediocre, and thst
they seek TO profit by the existing circumstances. We
ore assured further that formal explanations have
been demanded at Washington on the subject OF the
purchase of Russian America
Messrs Dudley Mann, SouIe and Cass are at
this moment in Paris, and Mr. Buchanan is ex-
pected to arrive from day to day; but Nessrs.
Daniel O'sullivan and Belmont have left. Mr.
Daniel visited Paris simply to escape the chol-
era, which was decimating Turin at the moment
Of his departure; Dir. O'Sulliyan came on ether
than diplomatic bu.iness, and only remained
three days; while Mr.. Belmont came to attend
the council on Capt. Gibsons case, as l stated in
a former letter and returned immediately alter
ward to the Hague. Mr.. Cass has resided in
Paris permanently since his marriage in May last.
Mr.. Soule came to Paris principally for recres-
ton, but was DESTROYS at the same time OF con-
sultiDg diplomatic colleagues on affairs of mutual
interest After the arrival CT Mr.. Soule in Paris,
Mr.. Buchanan, partly on account of the extreme
unhesthiness of London, and partly on account
of the recent action Of some of the Governments
of Europe towards the United States, indicated
q desire to make short visit to the Continent,
and asked Messrs Mann, Mason and SOule to ac-
company LIN to the waters Of Baden. The polit-
ico-hygienc excursion was at once agreed upon,
and the party will leave for Baden this week. Mr..
Siebels, Charge at Brussels who is now at Baden,
and Mr.. Belmont who remains much OF bis time
at Frankfort, near by, may be included in the po-
ltical councils which will take place. Mr. Sick
les, reposing upon the laurels gathered in his
late diplomatic exploits, will remain in charge Of
the Legation at London.
The statement that the conference was to be
held at Bale, provincial town in Switzerland,
where the outrage upon Drs Phillips and Eiche-
berger took place-an occurrence which no doubt
.ugpested the statement-does the editors imsg.
nation greater honor than his penetration. The
idea that II would require the presence at Bale Of
the imposing list Of Excellencies enumerated
above, TO vindicate the cause Of DR.. Phillips, as
gross and irritating as might have been the out
rage inflicted upon him, or that Bale should have
been the place chosen for that object is udicrous
enough.
The main questions to which the attention of
this council at Baden will be directed are I'M
doubtedy the Cuban question, the affair of DIR.
Phillips. that of Capt. Gibson. the Central Amer
lea negotiation, and particularly the insoIent tone
assumed recently by certain European powers
toward the United States. SO palpable has this
latter grievance become that our leading minis.
tiers feel the necessity Of taking some concerted
action to meet IT, This evil, our diplomats think
there is the best reason for believing, is not an
idle phantom; from tsunts in ministerial journals
il has passed to cabinet insolence toward our
ministers. The storm gathered by degrees, until
Row one meets the stereotyped menace, which is
repeated almost daily in the journals, which is
heard in every EDglilh and Frenchmans mouth,
and 10 which ministers have even INDUCED, that
81 soon az the Russian affair shall be settled the
western hemisphere will then be put in order"
Tie excuse for this attack is the inordinate desire
attributed to the people of the United States for
conquest. and the end an occupation for the enor-
nous fleets that will then be unoccupied. We
see this nsolence in the reply Of the Swiss author
nes IN the fhAlps czsei III winch Suo NHi'o"
States Government was directly refused all guar
antee that Americans should be exempt from Ill
! treatment for the future-always recoectlng that
| this nsoence proceeded from Austrian influence.
/ We see it in the discussion which is now going on
| In the Netherlands Senate chamber and press on
the Capt Gibson case. We see il, they say, ID the
tone ofthe British and French cabinets and press,
