as such. The Tribune's correspondent states
that shortly after bis arrival in Paris, the For
eign Office apologized to him formally forthe
insult that had been offered him by sending
spy to travel with him and watch his move
ments the blame was thrown on to CHIEF
of bureau, whose zeal had carried him too
far and Mr.. s. was assured that SO far from
the French Government feeling inimical to
him personally, they were even glad to see
him visiting the capital OF France, andhoped
that his visit might be pleasant one
1t is also added, that during the stay OF Mr.
Soule in Paris. which was about three weeks
and lasted up to the time OF the Congress OF
Ostend, Mr.. Soule took all the precautions
possible to avoid giving offence to the Gov
eminent. He refused to see almost all his
French acquaintances; he had not more
than one interview, and that of but short du-
ration, with Emile de Girardin he saw none
of the leaders of the modern Republican
party; he was confined most of his time either
at his rooms at the Hotel du Rhin or at the
house of Mr. Mason or Mr.. Dudley Mann,
and he asserts positively that he was careful
at all times not to utter opinions on public
subjects in the presence of any individual OF
doubtful character. He insisted, much
against Mr.. Mason's wish, in having the seat
of the Congress transferred to Ostend instead
of at Paris
In confirmation of the statement of Mr..
Soule's prudent conduct, it is said that letters

government, which aver that neither by
word, deed, letter nor communication, has he
compromised himself, or in any manner in
terfered with French affairs.
Mr.. Soule returned with Mr.. Buchanan to
London after the termination of the Ostend
Conference, and thence, after a few days,
proceeded to Calais, on his way to SPAIN
Here he was met by the prohibition to
enter French territory, which has been al
ready described. On the same afternoon,
ter of Foreign Affairs to interpose to pre-
vent the entrance of Mr.. Soule into France.
Mr.. Mason refused, and demanded an expla-
nation for so extraordinary a movement
The Minister replied that Mr.. Soule enter
tanned and had expressed, during his stay in
Paris, opinions and sentiments against the
French Government which were highly Of
fensive, and that it had been determined not
to allow him again to enter French territory.
Mr. Mason replied with spirit, " Then am /
also obnoxious to the French government;
Mr. Soule, like myself and every other Anne
rican citizen, is republican, and opposed at
heart to your form of government; and if
the French Government expects to suppress
the honest political opinions of Americans in
Europe, and allow no man to travel through
their territory who avowed himself a repub-
lican, they were undertaking heavy con-
tract, api they would find difficult to
fulfill" -
F The correspondent pro ceeds to state that
to MIR. Masons demand for explanations,
written Oh Friday, Oct. 81 no reply had been
received as late as II O'Clock on Monday
Oct 30, and that no one expects any explana-
tions will be given. All diplomatic inter
course, it is said, has ceased, by order of Mr.
!. Mason, between the American Legation and
y he French Government until the affair is
settled.
1t is the opinion of the Tribune's CORES
2ondent that the communication of Soule.
while in London, with the revolutionary Jun
| to, has had its influence with the Emperor
| 1t is added, moreover, that the American
SBonapartes. who lately transferred their citi-
i. ,enship to France father and son, have ex
| .rted an influence at court, in convincing the
Emperor that the Slavery question in the
Jnlted States must soon terminate in the dis
solution of the Union that the North and
the South would never act in concert on the
question of Cuban acquisition.
