calculated, II u had influence, to breed Ill
Will on thepsrt Of both; and especially teeming
with misrepresentation Of the policy Of the
Administration Of Gen. Pierce, and it's views
and purposes, with view to excite suspicion
and Jealousy in the French Government.
Since the exclusion Of Mr.. Soule, 1t Il worthy
Of notice that the same print denounced, in
advance, the President and his Cabinet, a.
wanting spirit to resent the insult Of the EN-
peror; and since the retraetion Of the afront,
it snsers at the Emperor are only surpassed
in virulence BY those against Mr.. soule, and
1t seems to ind consolation in its hope that
Spain will refuse to receive NM. Scale.
It Is not now doubted that tho primary
cause Of all the difficulties which occurred 1t
Madrid between the Soules, Gather and son, }
and the Duke Of Alba and NJ. Turgot, the
French Embassador, WAS tho falsehoods co.
verify Manufactured and put into circulation
ct Paris. and 70. prod iced, - Is stated In cor
tain New York prints, a. to their comments
upon tho Emperor and Empress. And it Is
also we'll known at Paris and in this city, that
it was repetition Of these SANDERS against
Mr.. soule, and the propagation Of some sddi-
tional newly invented falsehoods Of similar
character last month BY the same tribe of
mischief making earwiss (alien to every truly
American fseling,) that excited Louis Napo-
leon to disregard the counsels of his Empress
and Of two of his most ssgacious counsellors,
and hastily adopt tho silly course Of excluding
the American Minister to Spain from crossing
France In his journey from England to Mad
rid. The meeting Of three or four private
gentlemen, personal friends, at q Continental
watering place, because they happened TO be
all American Ministers in Europe, was by sim
liar sinister Misrepresentation, distorted into
political or diplomatic Congress to decide
how or whom tho United States ought to " in.
tsroene" in the conflicts of Europe; and In
fact every means to create trouble and diff
Guilty was caught at.
We are gratihed, however, to know that the
firm and dignihed conduct of Mr.. Mason, our
Minister at Paris, led to an eelaircissement
and. mutual explanations, and ultimately, upon
comparison Of notes, to the full discovery and
explosion Of the whole batch of intrigues, and
the development of al the miserable eonspira-
tors, Of all genders, by whom the Imperial
family had been imposed upon. The squint-
eyed envy at the bottom of 1t in reference to
tho injury attempted to be done to Mr.. Soule,
is doomed to still further disappointment We
do not believe that its efforts will be success
full to effect the refusal Of tho Spanish Govern
mont to receive him. and j zoe nsistaks not,
also, tho arch conspirators siN ere long find
to their cost that tho Freneh Emperor and
Empress and tho French people nor snder-
stand tao means by schich it .oas sought to
impose upon and mis- load them. and .viH
taks occasion to demonstrate their eonvic-
tions in an emphatic manner. Whatevs,
punishment mag BE- cssstsd upon tAe psrpetra-
tors Of tho plot, If caught IN Francs, no
sympathy auiH be eztended towards them bv
tie people Of tho United States. II wlH Be
Knocked in cain.
The Infamous means used to injure Mr.. Bel
mont, our charge at the Hague, are of piece
with those adopted in regard to Mr.. Soule,
and originated in the same wicked and trea-
sonable designs. Private and public Justice
are sometimes slow, but they are always sure,
and often overtake tho slanderer, renegade,
and traitor whom least expected. The plea Of
"not guilty" doubtless will be made to shield the
coward knaves, but no intelligent man will be.
lieve 1t against the proofs that exist in France
and this country. --
