We here quote what the corresponds nt sub.

passed tosthc objrct OF his official call. aud
the reason why Mr.. Soule had not beer.

citizens Of & STATE that has behaved in such
hostile manner towards it.
am told tina: Mr.. Mas6i;;' re Elied in the
way that will have occurred to every one
else on being told those reasons. He said
that the affair Of Mr.. Dillon was, in the
worst possible construction, but the mere
blunder ofa court Of Justice, and that It can-
not accordingly, be made parallel with a.
case in which the U. States are iusulted'
BY order of the highest authority Of ,no-
thtr State. The letter OF ~. Sanders wa,

lutely denied-if am well informedEthe
right Of any power TO meddle with Iiifi!'
culties that Eay have arisen betws cen Spain

could not see how questions Of foreign pol-
