mr.. 'gonle,s Demands ON the Spanish.

Mr.sonle's Demands on the Spanish.
The Paris correspondent of the New
York Tribune, writing under date OF the
Sd inst, states that the Madrid CORES
pondence of the London Times, in explain
alton of the proceedings of Dir. Soule on
the Black Warrior affair, are ridiculously
untrue. The facts of the case, he says,
are as follows. Our readers may take what
margin for fancy they choose:
On the arrival Of the special messen ger,
Mr.. Winslow, with instructions, Mr.: souIe
prepared and sent to the Spanish Minister
of Foreign Affairs, NJ Calderon de la
Barca, very calm, clear and firm demand,
containing two propositions: first, indem-
nifty; secondly, guarantee for the future, BY
the appointment of diplomatic agent at
Havana, with powers to meet these cases.
This was delivered to Mr.. Calderon, with
a request for prompt response, but not
specifying the time which was allowed to
make the response. At the end oftwenty-
four hours, Mr.. Soule, receiving no reply,
another note was sent, in substance the
same as the first, and adding that if at the
end Of twenty four hours, response was
not received, he should take it for granted
that the Spanish Government approved
the action of the Cuban authorities, and he
should act accordingly. This was delivered
by the Secretary, Mr.. Perry; in person.
When NJ. Calderon had finished reading
the note, Mr.. Perry colly drew out his
watch and said:
"Your Excellency will please observe
at it is now 12 o'cock; at 12 o'cock to-
morrow, precisely, shall be here for re
ply"
"Holy Virgin! young man what do YOU
mean?" exclaimed the Minister; 'sholy
week, and Sunday intervening; it is i'm
possible!'
4 Mr. Perry left. Beforethe termination
of the twenty-four hours, Mr.. soule re
ceived response from NJ. Calderon, stat
ing that it was out of the power OF tn
Government to act in the matter, inasmuc
as they had received no official intelligenc
from Cuba to guide them in their negois
tions, and adding, that the manner of Nj
Soule clearly indicated that the GoYerr
ment of the United States was much MOI
: anxious for difficulty than for Settle
. ment.
To this Mr.. Soule responded, again II
Il iterating his first demands, and adding
rather impertinently, it must be admitle
> that he was satisfied that full inform
l. ion had been received from Cuba, an
: hat in reference to the designs of Il
. United States, they sought only prom
settlement of the difficulty in order to pr
serve the peaceful relations which exist'
- between the two countries; that the co
ID tinued insults which the Cuban authoriti
. had offered the United States had SO e
= asperated the people thata prompt settl
- ment would be found the surest guarant
: - ofcontinued peaceful relation.
At this stage of the proceedings, t
~ Queen sent for Mr.. Soule, who it may
well be here repeated, is in favor at t
palace, while, on the contrary, Calderon
at hated by her. Her Majesty, who oindulg
a in very strong diet, into which bran
: and cigars enter largely, and who is
40 very choice in her rlanguage which to kn
he of Mr.. Soule what the row ment betwe
n him and M. Calderon. On Mr.. S. stati
# the case, she stamped her foot violen
is on the floor, and said that "Calderon "
be id fool; that she wished Soule wol
to manage. the affair SO to get her rid Of hi
ng and she advised him to press him hard
it It's generally thought in diplomatic circ
n in Paris, that between Mr.. Soule and
I'D Queen, Calderon will be brought to ct
mt clusion--of some kind Can. Eng.
