lie to place before it all the material information or
opinions, regarding the Minister, which have ap-
peared ia tho Madrid ma othsr European Journals.

not forget that they are almost entirely pa,te,
and that the conduct of the Minister may wear
very different aspect when his own version of it
reaches us.
FROM THE MADRID pIARIo OF AUGUST 80.
Several Of our contemporaries say that Mr. SoULf has
resigned his post representative in Spain of the United
States We believe this statement be premature and
that the truth is that Mr. Soule starts this week
journey foreign country Some suspect that he does
not desire to be in Madrid when the arrives Of pra
tcal invasions of Cuba This last also reached
us through very various channels .and for this reason
and because published we now think ht to say
few words concerning it.
1t appears in effect that by this time expedition Of
Rlibuseros organized and prepared with the knowledge
and before the eyes the agents Of the Federal Govern
ment will have left the American territory to invade
Cuba Notwithstanding the eficacious measurcs adopted
by the President in his procamations But, although
this expedition may have been realized, although within
few days we may learn that the United States have
poured into Cuba fresh bands Of ncendaries and free
booters we do not know why Mr. Soue should abandon
his post Does the Minister of the United States, per-
harbor the slightest doubt Of his safety let what
ever may beyond the atlantic? Has 1t by chance
occurred to him that the escutcheon and flag OF United
States had not here the respect and consideration which
in 1851 was denied to the flag of Spain in that city OF
the American Union which Mr. Soule when he renounced
his country, adopted as his new one?
The Minister of the United States would be greatly
mistaken and for all declare, in the name OF
this loyal and honorable people, jealous in the highest
degree Of the national decorum that if Mr. Soue should
desire to put forward the preext Of his journey the
slightest doubt of his safety here that doubt would be

abstaned from sending you this curious article gver
aboye) yesterday because had not completed my in
vestgaton of the grounds for the serious charges
brings against the Minister of the United States at Ma
drid These charges have been talked Of here for
time and especially since the affair Of the 2Sth instant

with haze reason to believe that the subject has occupied
the attention Of Ministers 5ut<tAat they A0vs bean aoe

Information have received from most respectable sources
is such to leave in my mind but small doubt upon
the subject.

difficult to understand that he may have been willing,
his view being concentrated that enc object (the

money in hopes of facilitating its attainment It

this s quite credible because henes that

Among other small facts that give probability to the
charges made by the Dario and that myself have posi-
tive knowledge Of s the circumstance that two
coloncs in the army Of wild and reckless charac
