THE FRENCH PRESS ON MR.. soULE.
The Paris Constitutional has long and temperatcly
written editorial the subject Of the friendly relations
which ought to subsist between the United States and
France, but which, it says, damaged by the inds
Greet conduct Of Mr. Soule However, the Constitution
mel thinks that the people of the United States gener
ally rcpudiate his acts.
Our correspondent draws attention to the follow
ing extract from the Paris correspondent Of the London
Times =
81 am informed that the French Government have in
Mr.. Souie in vast plan for revolutionzng nearly
the whole of Europe and it is even added, am no
aware how correctly that those plans occupied the at
enton OF the diplomatic congress recently held at Os
tend"
The United States Minister in Paris had had inter-
view with NJ Drouyn de IHuys, Minister Of Foreign AZ
fairs, on the subject Of Mr.. soue's exclusion from
France. NJ. dc PHuys assured him that there were
good reasons for the conduct Of the French authorities
and that they should be forthcoming when necessary
in the meantime he, the United States Minister might
refer to his government Mr. Mason IL said to have had
audience with the Emperor the following day
What occurred has not TRANSFERRED but 1t does not appear
to have been satisfactory to Mr. Mason
[From the Paris Constitutional Nov. IL
There nation which seems better calculated than
the United States for living in good intelligence with
France The friendly feeling so natural between the
two countries showed itself from the very
ment Of the American Union. 1t was then commanded
by interests as it is now commanded by interests and
tradtions for the direction which the old French
narchy had given was followed by succeeding govern
ments, and If there was any name that could revive
these "reminiscences in America is assurcdly that of
the sovereign who now governs France The first empire
practscd towards the United States with the amplitude
been always considered at this side of the Atlantic
Of the essential points Of system of
alliance The principle Of appealing to the nation,
taken for its starting point could only draw closer toge
Their the two countries in spite of the difference of form
which exists between the two governments. If the nte
rests at present at stake in the world be examined closely
everything to demonstrate how much that good
understanding was indicated in advance: The principles
which the OF the Emperor defends such
appeal to the mind Of free nation aud greatly excite its
sympathy. 1t is for the political independence Of
by audacious aspiration after universal domi-
nion-that France has taken up arms and while
she is defending on land IDEAS 50 much in har-
rcan civilization she has taken that the principles
Of maritime liberty dear to the great transatlantic
nation should be from the very outset of hostiities
shielded from the vicssitudes to which neurals
accustomed for century These considerations Of the
very highest political and moral ORDER joined to the
powerful material interests which unite the two
tries between which such important and extensive
mercal transactions are aaly going on should,
peat it, establish between them sincere reciprocity Of
good relations. And, in consequence 1t is with regret
mingled with SURPRISE that have series Of facts
and incidents taking place which would seem to present
another character With the exception Of Russia the
government Of the Emperor keeps up the best rela-
tions with all the governments Of the Old and New
World. However, in foreign court, difference takes
place between diplomatic agent and representative
Of France; and that agent not content with having OH
gnated that difference altogether Of personal nature,
to transform it into political conflict. Who i that
agenti An American Minister. In the New World the
recent treaty, are disregsrea which ia the soaniry
where our international reht has been thus infrngens
respected. There is, however, roads.ead in which
handful Of anarchical refugees have seized
the occasion of the presence OF our sailors 70
that roadstead Is that of American town Facts Of
this nature, il multiplied, would accord but little with
cpes and interests which exist between the nations
and which seem to force themselves duty on the
two governments. Blu. 1t is evidently impossible to
in these incidents anything else than the work OF
mischief makers, whose acts in daccord with the
intentions OF the American Cabinet and nation. While
deplorng them feel full confidence that they will
remain in the state Of purely individual acts and We
know in advance that the Union always animated to-
wards France with sympathy wiGh is reciprocal and
Sides declines the responsibility Of Incidents with which
it has remained altogether unconnected.

Paris (0ct. 31) Correspondence Of London Times.l
The Moniteu' contains the paragraph explaining
the expression tinides acis, Win h you have no
doubt already published. Whether this paragraph
has been occasionsd by explanations betwesn the
allied governments or not 1t ia at all events msnifest
intended TO be cast on the English army or feet.
That the roTds scere III chosen, TO sag the fegst, is
admitted, and the impression they produced, ,chea The
EmpeTo,''s letter to Madame 81. Arnaud icas made
enc resignation was anticipated In consequence.
They were, however, sooD forgotten in the more
absorbing intelligence which the public is stil
daily expecting. do not think, hncerer, that
the explanation noic giren is entirAiy salts
factory, as il 0as not necessary to cast siur on
others in order that Marshal st. synauds military
reputation should be erGiieG. Moreover, it does
not necs esarily follow that because difference of
1t arises from fear. The council is called to aid
with its advice the General-in Chief, though he
is not obliged to follow it ; but when opinions
are asked before decision is come 10, 1t would be
unjust to attribute to on unworthy motive tne ex.
preston Of suca opinions. Be this as ii m ay IL IS
certain that after the lsnaing in tie Crimea was
decided stories were current Of serious Discussions
among the superior officers. "The two Princes"
operation, and Prince Napoleon was in particular
spoken. CT, not only as disipp-Iyiog, but as
generally hostile, and in very marked manner,
TO the plans Of the Comm andsrin.Coist Of the
French army. 1t was known that Prince Napoleon
lost no occasion Of criticising in pubic, AID Ia
severe manner, those plans, and particularly the
landing In the Crimes; and this criticism beclme
SO annoying, that the Msrfhal vas said to have de
manded the recall Of the Prince. The Priacs S.s

Marshal ST. Arraud: and it Was stated positively at
the time that the greater part of the gen erals anti
cipnted that the result OF the undertaking would be
unfortunate. Whether justly not, IL also beIiev
ed that the tw0 AGmras were equally opposed TO the
attack on SebastoDol, and sugge,ted other and
less difficult point the coast; ans, further. tia.
was owing principally If not entirely, to tie great
exertoks Of Aemirals Lyons and Bruat, who sup
borted the plans OF Marshal 81. Arnsud aud Lord
Raglan, that the attack took place. All this Vas
said ana repeated over and over, and without
serious contradiction. II ia true that the ms-
lcrity in the council who were thus opposed
70 ine Commap der in-chief had no reason
TO believe that the landing would be unovposed by
Prince MeDscsikon; and It may be q curious specu
laton % 70 What the result would have been Il q
corps OF the Russian army had met the allies on the
beach. II Is. indeed, surmised that the Obnoxious
expression in the letter 10 the widow OF Marshal an
Arnaud was only intended for Prince Napoleon
an indirect reprimand, in fact, for his syscms,ic
opposition to hs superior officer and the conclndnv
