Mr. Scuis's Expulsion from Madrid-His

Another states that he left Madrid in orler to

against the Espartero government, and so
closely identified with the ultra republican fac

depce of his interference in Spanish affairs and
being likely to object to such proceedings
From ali We can learn, this latter surmise ap-
pears to be the most correct. That Mr.. Soute
has been for some time in close correspondence
with the Spanish democrats--that he afforded
to several OF their leaders q refuge at his EN-
bassy--apd that the termination OF the move

Whether be received polite hint to try tie

We stall Know before long 1t matters little on
what provocation he deserted his post The
main fact is that Mr.. Soule, our Minister to
Madrid, conducted himself towards the govern
NEXT to which he was accredited in SO indis-
Greet manner that he was compelled, before
he he'd been twelve months in office, to withdraw
from the country.
In this connection we'cannot forbear from re-
felring to the language held by this journal
nearly year ago, when Mr.. Soule first arrived
at MADRID. On the goth Move nber last, we
pointed out the course which man of Soule's
charac er would be likely to pursue. As will
he seen by the article itself, which we republish
elsewhere, we ventured to predict that he
would in the first place, seek closer coancc-
ton with the royal family than ambassadors
usually enjoy. Failing to accomplish any 20.
iitical end by this means, we supposed that he
would "espouse the popular cause. He wil,'
to quote from the article in question, ''stimu
late and fosters spirit of disafiection and revolt
among the masses. and his warm heart will boil
over with sympathy for the oppressed
Spaniards. A democratic revolution will be
his dream" Mr.. Soule has taken ten
months to verify our prediction. He has
done al we said he would, and with the sue
cess which we supposed wo1ld attend his eff.
forts. He conrted Isabella and the camerara

last month did not half satisfy him. He wanted
more barrlcades they were erected: but des-
troycd by the troops. The ultra republican
leaders were scattered; and NJ. Soule, among
the number, fled to Bayonne.
Almost at the very time that he was making
his escape, Mr.. Daniel f. Sickles was leaving
Lonoon for Madrid, with important dispatches
for the Minister to Spain. Those dispatches con

the revolutionary ministry large sum of money
