hat in hand that they had no idea OF violating his
comicile, which was sacred TO them, both for bis
private and public character. They desired only
TO possess themselves Of the arms OF the Marquis
OF Bedmar, and in order TO show the difference OF
their sentiments, they had respected the Amarlcan
eagle, placed above the crown of the Marquis
which had been defaced. Thus advised OF the
object Of his visiiers, Mr.. Soue ordered The gates
10 be opened to them, saying at the same tme'
that "tyranny always beng provided with arms 10
Cypress the people, il just that The latter, IN It's
turn, should find arms for its defence among lis
opprrssors." These words were loudly app!audeo,
and the collections OF the Marquis of Bedmar were
carried off in moment by the people who relI'
gious!y respected the upper stories.
1t was no fault, moreover, OF Mr.. Soule, II queen
Isabella was not enlightened IN season upon the
true aim Of the movement, at the head OF which
O'Dnnnpl had placed himself. After the return OF
The Court 10 Madrid and the first engagement oil
Vlcavaro represented by the Ministerial Journals
as n victory the Minister Of Prussia convcked the
diplomatic corps, ard proposed TO go and rompli-
ment the Queen. off it is on account oil her re-
turn, give my consent" said Mr.. SOuIe, IN this
mrering; 'If is for resistance 10 the wishes OF
the people, will not unite in your compliments"
On arriving al the Palace, the Minister OF Prus-
STA made m emphatic speech for The, "consolida-
ton Of thrones. und against assassins Mr.. Soue,
The contrary, said that il was not ony necessary
TO censure but 10 ascertain if the popular move
mentS had not legitimate causes, which there was
nc disposition 10 acknowledge nor understand.
On The 25th Of July, after the triumph of the in
surrectinn, the diplomatic corps made a second
visit to the Queen, but on this occasion, one OF
coincidence. Mr. Soule thought his colleagues
would express themselves with motesty. but seeing
that they yet made OF swelling phrases, to say
the least of them, out Of place against the reVoIu
iionary spirit he believed i; his duty, on his part,
TO remind The Queen Of his former remarks, adding
that, far from coHdemning the events which had
Just trarspred she could now find an opportunity
of inaugurating new era of greatness for herself
and Of prosperity for her people. Queen Isabella
appeared 10 recognise that the Minister of the
Uni'ed States was q more sagacous counsellor than
the Prussan envoy.
Far from profting by the lesson of sagaclty
which hr had given them, the enemies Of Mr..
Soule took advantage of il to renew their attacks
upon him. They accused him of having passed
the limits Of international courtesy, because he
alone had had the courage to spenk the truth 10 an
unfortunate woman, deceived by f1attery. They
accused him of having been one Of the principal
promoters OF an insurrecuon, and they charged
him, moreover, Of making appeal TO all the
European demagogues. This was confirmed IN
their opinion by the announcement in the London
Morning Advertiser, that the son OF Mr.. Soule
hhu arrived tDeTe OH Specidi HiSsI"h W WI
Buchanan. on the subject Of Cuba and the Spanish
revolution.
The fact of this mission is true, and il was also
directed TO the American embassy at Paris, but
have the best of authority for asserting that its
only object was TO consult MIR. Soule's eminent
colleagues TO their opinion Of the intention as.
crbed to Gen. Pierce of sending special commits
sioners to Madrid 10 treat of the Black Warrior
question. learn that they entirely disapproved
the project, and that they deemed it more proper
to associate the negoliators with Mr. Soule, if the
question needed such special consideration, than
10 trust entirely to the hands Of persons IMMERSED
in European affairs. Both Mr.. Mason and Mr..
Buchanan advised Mr.. Soule, 10 await further
advices from Washington before taking any de.
