leave you to expect from Paris correspondent
something more than what he finds in the newspa-
pers. For once, ct least, you viii not be disap-
pointed. The Paris journals copy, this morning,
from the Daily Ne,cs and the Post Of London, the
announcement that His Excellency P. Soule, United
States Minister to Spain, had left Dover by the
South Eastern Company's packet, on his way to
Paris. But they do not add the fact that on his ar
rival at Calais, night before last Mr.. Soule was re-
fused admission into France, was obliged to remain
on board the boat, and to return, by midnight, in
the toughest weather, to Dover Such is, neverthe-
less the fact. With this bare statement Of the fact
must deliver 1t over to the comments which It can
not fail to provoke on the other side Of the At
hntic.
The cause for this act Of courtesy not to say for
this insult to an accredited Minister Of the United
6tates-a Power with which the French government
Is, at present, on terms of peace-is, Of course,
not yet publicly known. 1t Is true that the
Hon. Mr.. Soule is accredited as minister, not
to the Court of Napoleon, but to the Court

as well when he first arrived here ON his way to
Madrid his passport as American citizen, not to
mention his passport as American minister, sufced
to protect him against oil possible Inconvenience,
for which his escape, years and years ago. from the
consequences Of his trial for alleged libel as editor
Of French journal, might have Afforded, however
remotely, any pretext. In diplomatic circles IL ID
whispered that during Mr.. soules recent visit pre-
viously to his departure for the conference at o.
tend, bis apartment 1t the Hotel du Rhin was fire.
quented by as motley set Of visters as flocked to
the apartment Of certain other guest in the same
hotel, in ls4s, when Prince Louis Napoleon arrived
there from London. II it Is not openly alleged that
the American Minister encouraged the visits Of
many persons suspected Of hostility to the imperial
government, receiving even at unusual hours not
few individuals whose long boards, slouched hats,
and tightly buttoned frock coats are always eyed

away to Cayenne, or consigned to Brussels, to
Switzerland the Isle Of Jersey,-f it is not said
that MI soule, while here, spoke and acted with

yet all this is whispered. 1t IL even
still more mysteriously whispered that q
ullblown conspiracy for the. assassination Of
the Emperor was discovered and happily frustrated,
at tie very period Of the American Minister'S so.
joufhYn the Place Vendome The same people who
derousy accused Mr.. Soule Of completely with the
Spanish revoutonists, readily listen to these whis-
pers, which, after all, are but mere s6rnises On
the other hand, the enemies Of the actual French

Of its inherent weakness, which it acknowledges
