governmeut. the American Minister In Paris
has been assured rcpestedly that, In the oondacs
observed with reference to his brother diplomssss
NO slight Whatever was meant TO the government OF
the United States, with which they desire TO con-
tinue ON terms Of perfect Amty; but they insist ON
the right 70 exclude from their territory any indl-
vidu& whose presence in 1t cispIcsSog o.
obnoxious TO them. 1t Ia rumored that Mr. Soule is
expected to return to Paris to morrow, Win, OF
course, the permission Of the government. 4 am
unable to say whether the rumor is exact, but it
may be observed that 1t was not against M Soule,s
passage through France to Spain that the prohibi.
ton was gwen but against his residence here, which
believe was to extend to some months II Is yet
hoped that the United States government win no.
take up tho affair national offence, but that it
viii be arranged amicably.
The affair Of n. 6oule, which at one msment mo
naced TO be rather unpleasant In its results may be
c0nsidered - settled, and the vum0r to which
alluded IN my letter Of Yesterday respecting that
completely correct. mentioned yesterday the
charges which are stated to have been alleged
against n. soue - iustifying the step the author
ties adopted against him. may now mention what
10 said on the other side. It Is denied by Mr.. Soue
and his friends that his conduct since his return
from Madrid has been Otherwise than prudent and
resorved-more, indeed, than might be expected
nom his rather impuldve character. 1t e amrmed
on his behalf that he has not converted with or
seen the members Of the revolutionary party
in France-that he even denied himself to them
whenever they happened to visit Of the house
where no was staying, and that he did not converse
with sec the chiefs Of the evolutionary party in
London. All these assurances, understand have
been given by n. S0ulG himself to the other mem
bsrs Of the American diplomatic corps In London
and to the Secretary Of Legation who was commits

1t IL certain that on such ASSURANCES reing given
Dir. Mason thought It his duty to inform N. Drouyn
dc Hugs that unless N. Souls tcas atoiced to pass

functions in that CAPITAL he should demand his pass
ports.
The French government, ss have already men
TONED, repeaedly declared that is had no intention
Independently OF its right to exclude from It's terri
tory any stranger giving It cause Of umbrage, it
founded its present act on law enacted Ia 1908,
in virtue Of which any French citizen who should
should net enter or reside on the French territory
without the permission Of the government n.
Soule had become naturalized American subject,
and had entered France without tho necessary au-
thorization; therefore the French government had
not acted against international Law. The govern
ment, however, expressed its regret that anything
should have occurred likely to disturb the harmony
between the two countries, and. either believing or
he should pass through Ffance on his way to Ma
dfid, for the difference appears still to be maintain
ed betweed residence and . passage. The go
verIment decided, think, very properly. II has
ing dyotew into quarrel ,cith the United States
At all events, N. Soule's friends expect to see him
tomorrow.
The London News Of the 9th inst has tho follow.
ing ON the adjustment Of the difficulty 1T gives US
the most lively pleasure to be enabled to state with
certainty that al danger Of any Misunderstanding
between the French and American governm ants, in
consequence Of the recent refusal to allow M.
Sou,e TO pass through France, IL at an end. frank
and prompt representation on the subject, made by
the resident minister of the United States at Paris
was met in courteous and ami cable spirit by the
French government, and, mutual explanations hav-
ing taken place, the order was rescinded, and Mr.
Soule invited to pass through France on his way to
Spain. We believe we are warranted to add that
the tone and department Of the Emperor OF the
French throughout the discussion of this affair has
been most gratifying to the Americans.
